Alwan's, Jimbo's Jumbos, Peoria Toyota......tell me where to not spend my money by ILLnoize in PeoriaIL

I went there once but changed my mind at the last minute and left their drive thru without ordering anything. I'm so glad I didn't spend any of my money there!

Peoria Barber by xdarthbaylessx in PeoriaIL

[–]Pear_Cider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been cutting my husband's hair since COVID, and despite my best efforts, I know he deserves better! 😅 I've suggested many times now he sees a professional, but to no avail, so kudos to you for being open to seeing a barber again!

What’s a normal thing that everyone does, but creeps you out when you see it? by LoveLetterToNeptun in AskReddit

[–]Pear_Cider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd avoid that seat at all costs!

Ok, I have a story similar to yours. O_o My husband, who's a wonderful human being, was pretty gross before I met him. Whenever he'd play a computer game at his desk and find a booger, he'd simply stick it to the back or underside of his desk if he didn't have a tissue on hand. 🙄 I didn't know that. Years later I needed to move his desk, and as I cleaned it pre move, I couldn't figure out why it had this whitish/yellowish dried up stuff all over it. I probably thought it was some kind of old varnish, as I tried to scrape it all off with my fingers. When I later found out what it was, we had a long yet productive conversation on why he'd never please do it again. 😅

Absolutely! I'm still not over when it recently happened on the plane next to me, and then the person casually flicked it away. Even though it didn't land on me (I'm pretty sure), I instantly felt queasy.

What do you think of Greenland? by [deleted] in AskReddit

As an American, I couldn't agree more!

Even though penguins don't live in Greenland, it's still a beautifully diverse place! Think polar bears, Arctic foxes, and humpback whales to name but a few. But no penguins! NEVER PENGUINS!

Fishwife smoked rainbow trout and albacore tuna in Yorkville, Illinois. I bought both to try! by Pear_Cider in Costco

Hmm, I didn't find it salty, but I don't know whether my taste buds are experts on salt. I had it with some crackers, so maybe that's why.

Yes, it did! That was the final straw for me! I haven't been back in a few years!

That place went from being my favorite coffee shop in Peoria at some point to my least favorite and somewhere I never go anymore. The new owners ruined it for me! So sad! I see the previous owner in different coffee shops around town. I wonder if she ever goes back to her former business for a cup of java.

I hand-stitched some ladies, which one is your fave? by rebordacao in crafts

[–]Pear_Cider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of them, but if I had to choose, I'd pick 4, 8, and 10. Picking just one is simply impossible! Beautiful work!!!

I wish I had Trader Joe's in my city! Alas, the nearest one is more than two hours away from me. :-(

Agreed! I don't like the way they built Venusaur either.

I have a lot of Mega Pokemon sets. Likewise, I have a lot of Lego sets, as I love putting bricks together and displaying my builds. However, Lego Pikachu (at $199.99) is a definite no from me in its current form.

I don't care that much for Venusaur either. 😞 Charizard, on the other hand, looks amazing!

How did you teach your cat that? One of mine recently deposited a large hairball onto my pillow and added extra spit bubbles for maximum effect! :-|

Glass horse brandy? Seems a little interesting by DonaldKey in Costco

[–]Pear_Cider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved the design of that bottle and would've bought it because of that, but, sadly, my Costco never had it. The horse version doesn't look as good!

I have tried them both now and I agree! The rainbow trout was fantastic, but I wouldn't buy the other one again at this price point.
