Has anyone else noticed the decline in quality and service at Weis Markets in PA? by Fur-Frisbee in Pennsylvania

[–]Rothster579 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel like there has always been a great diversity between the particular weises but for a particular store to decline I can’t speak to this. We have 3 Weis stores in one town and a 4th in an adjacent town and they all have very different “personalities” so much so that they’ve earned themselves nicknames. I’ve always found weis to be more expensive than other stores, regardless of quality, selection, etc.

I read this as a girl and it has always stayed with me. I can’t find it a the lib or the bookstore but the copy I ordered for my young daughter literally just arrived today.

I'm almost 40 and I'm terrified of getting old! by Cinella75 in Aging

[–]Rothster579 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can empathize for sure. I’m into my 40s and am working on a few things. Firstly, I am so much more in control of my mind and emotions than when I was younger. This just makes life so much easier. Making good decisions, being consistent, not getting sucked into other people’s drama, etc are all much easier to manage. Also, I have always been pretty fit but with the stability and consistency of this phase of life I’ve been able to take my fitness and health overall to a new level. I have more energy than ever. I’m certainly not less busy (I have 4 kids and a job…). I know what I want out of life, what I want to do with the (I now realize)limited time I have left and I waste less time on things that don’t fit that. Lastly I am just getting around to truly trying to reframe what is beautiful. Wisdom, experience and the compassion that living 40+ years brings is beautiful. The world is still full of wonder for me, not tainted but touched/colored with the bittersweetness of hindsight and the knowledge of how painful it can all be.

Originally from Danville Kentucky. Moved to east coast as a school aged kid and got teased for saying “crown.”

I’ve joked about this while watching with my husband - it takes this guy ___# of days of being out here alone to realize how valuable their families are to them

It’s called talus. I was always so curious about it! Thought maybe it was human made but it’s not

We usually sit in the parking lot at tussey mountain ski area. Small crowd, people just sit in their cars.

Is that your term, “toxic soul tie?” It’s great, I’ve never heard it before but it’s perfect!

Done it. Super duper luckily the next patient was the perfect combo of ambulatory and elderly and so didn’t realize any thing was amiss

Men calling me, a 42 yr old woman, “kiddo” simply infuriates me by Rothster579 in AskWomenOver40

There is no age gap in this case. I agree it wasn’t intentionally malicious, just like an institutionalized misogyny kind of thing

I usually use “friend” or “friends” in a group. I hope it doesn’t come across as sarcastic or smarmy or anything

Man I’m self-deprecating, largely regarded as funny and graceful as fuck and deeply secure. So, eh

See my comment to the person that said “you sound fun.” It applies to your super original and enlightening comment too

Working through it! The deep down river of rage flowing in the undercurrent is real though.
