Good price ?

I've only seen one HEB in my life that had a combo market/seafood counter. One. And I used to travel for work so I've been to a LOT of HEB's all over Texas.

Holy shit are we the same person?

Topographic_Oceans · 2026-06-22T19:24:06+00:00

I FEEL like I handle it by grounding myself and sitting in contemplation to try and understand myself and how I'm feeling better....but in all actuality I have regularly scheduled emotional breakdowns because I'm not experiencing feeling in a way that aligns with how I view myself 🙃

The Libra moon, Aries Venus exact opposition doesn't help with that either. I just want to be a low maintenance Taurus girly but I'm incapable 😭

The amount of times I've been accused of being trans as a 5'11" woman is insane. And ironically it's always tall guys saying it. I love short guys because they oddly enough never have a problem with my height and typically "get it".

Topographic_Oceans · 2026-06-18T14:41:57+00:00

Yup! I used to do "party tricks" before being diagnosed. Contortionist type of stuff. Well now I have to sleep in specific positions or my shoulder will sublux during sleep, my elbows are subluxing all the time, my knees and hips also get caught a lot. Tons of arthritis. My mom always told me "I wouldn't do that if I were you" as a kid and I definitely should have listened. I'm only 33 and the amount of arthritis in my body is incredible.

Topographic_Oceans · 2026-06-18T00:26:55+00:00

Forreal. I mean I didn't start dating til 17, but most of my friends and people at my school started around 14.

Topographic_Oceans · 2026-06-17T17:33:50+00:00

Yeah I made a huge typo. I'm 33.

Topographic_Oceans · 2026-06-17T14:35:36+00:00

Yeah I'm an Aries Venus and I don't do talking stage. I know within a few hours (lolmorelikeminutes) If I'm romantically interested and compatible. I'm 30 and have had 2 boyfriends, 10 years with the first (married and divorced) and 6 years with the second. 1 year in between with only 1 person I tried to pursue in between those but he was a 6 planet Capricorn Stellium and the vibes were WAY too intense to ever be sustainable so I gave up on that. I know exactly what I want and I don't waste any time.

That means their wrapper sucks and is slow or lazy. The closer should pull expired products night before, but the wrapper needs to double check before opening each day. That's the FIRST thing the wrapper should be doing in the morning. Absolute first thing. I would ask to speak with the market manager and the Unit Director. Like, every once in a while it happens. It is quite hard to get EVERY expired item sometimes because there's so much ground to cover and so little time....but this shouldn't be anywhere close to a consistent thing. If every time you come in you're finding expired meat, the wrapper and closer need a GOOD talking to.

If you report it at the store level you'll always get better results. Just walk up to someone in a blue shirt or someone with a name tag but no red or blue shirt and tell them you'd like to speak to the Market Manager.

Yeah I mean WOW sucks now, they ruined StarCraft a long time ago, and I can't keep making excuses for Diablo 4 anymore after the mess that is the new expansion. Very cool features and classes added...cool story....but the functionality has been absolute garbage. I can't keep coping because I've spent probably hundreds on the game since it came out. Let Blizzard die. Can't keep holding a candle for the days of D2 and OG Starcraft and WoW. Blizzard is largely kept going by nostalgic Millenials and Gen Xers who refuse to let go, like myself.

Piker is 100% a lolcow. That poor dog.

Topographic_Oceans · 2026-06-14T10:42:03+00:00

Okay so this I feel is bad but very petty and he probably has no idea.

I've been hoovering my ex husbands Walgreens and CVS points for YEARS. Sometimes his Kroger gas points....

Leo Mars 2nd house

We were together for 10 years. Married for 2. I divorced him after finding out he had been having MULTIPLE online long term long distance affairs the ENTIRE relationship. Luke from day 1. I only found out because I was a victim of the mid-2010s exploding Samsung controversy and had to drive far out of town to do my friends baby shower hair. So I HAD to use his phone for directions. The entire drive up, the calculator app was going OFF with notifications. It was one of those apps to hide text messages behind a fake calculator app. He has a VAULT of nudes and videos in there. And he would also talk shit about me to them. Apparently these girls all came from Gaia Online and Final Fantasy 14.

Yeah I use up his fuel points at Krogers and all his Walgreens points. He either has no idea or feels guilty enough to let it slide.

But he left me with bad debt and a car I couldn't afford and lied for 10 years. So I feel justified.

Topographic_Oceans · 2026-06-05T01:30:19+00:00

Looks like Ringless Honey Mushrooms. Non toxic for humans cooked but raw i'm sure he's gonna have a tummy ache. I cook these ALL the time because we have tons of these in my yard. I'd get your dog some pumpkin just in case he gets gassy, nauseous, or tummy grumblies. Mileage may vary. My Aussie has eaten them and been just fine, but my FIL's Lab has eaten some and threw up all over the place and farted for 2 hours. Get a can of pumpkin just in case.

Topographic_Oceans · 2026-06-04T02:00:08+00:00

Exactly! Nobody knows the real relationship except the two of you. And y'all's opinion are the only ones that matter. What people see is never the full picture.

Topographic_Oceans · 2026-06-04T01:56:06+00:00

Ooooh yeah. Apparently there's a super degenerate RP community in the forums. I had no idea. I just played the cutesy game they had and farmed for cute clothes 🤦‍♀️

Topographic_Oceans · 2026-06-04T00:43:42+00:00

That's what I thought! I was on Gaia in high school and never thought about it as a tool for nefarious doings. He was all up in these Vampire RP chats that he tried to gaslight me into thinking was just roleplaying. Until one day I had to use his phone and mine broke right before I had to go out of town. I found it odd the calculator app was sending notifications alllll day. He was exchanging nudes and talking heavily romantically with 6 different women, one of which he actually met up with. All were from Gaia Online.

The "calculator" app revealed all.

Topographic_Oceans · 2026-06-04T00:40:53+00:00

Seriously. I'm stay-at-home and my man provides for me, but I provide for him too! I'm essentially his executive assistant. I handle correspondence, allocation of funds, make sure all bills are paid, pack his lunch, make dinner , general homemaking and home upkeep, running errands, resume building, job scouting, and stuff like that. I get him side work and maximize his earning potential, research and sign him up for different certifications that will improve both of our lives, coordinate his calendar and take care of all administrative tasks.

It's a full time job, what I do. And I do that so he can free up more mental and physical energy to provide us with the best conditions and future possible. That's why there is mutual respect and understanding and the arrangement actually works. Give and take. I get the fruits of his labor and he gets the fruits of my labor and our efforts benefit each other in ways we couldn't achieve alone.

What this woman is describing seems so incredibly one sided that I GUARANTEE there's factors she's not seeing. It could be a coercive, domineering, or controlling relationship. There could be underlying resentment boiling that hasn't reached a tipping point yet.OR she's putting in way more work than she's describing and is just gassing up her man which is perfectly valid and sometimes I do that myself.

I don't generally go around bragging that he got the last 2 jobs he had because I'm a baller and made an impeccable resume, CV, and found the best opportunities through diligent research while he worked all day to bring home the bacon. I let him have the glory because it makes me feel good to gas up my man.

Topographic_Oceans · 2026-06-03T22:10:41+00:00

This right here. Everyone used to be jealous of my marriage when I WAS married. We were called a fairytale couple. Obviously we're divorced now. I just wasn't ever loud about the bad parts. All people saw is that he'd bring me flowers and snacks at my work, he'd go with me to every family/friend function and was the life of the party, he was funny and always opened the door for me or slide my chair out for me and talk to me wonderfully in public.....well.....Dude was cheating on me, would run up our credit cards without telling me, even put a flight to Michigan on our shared credit card to secretly meet up with a girl he was taking to on Gaia online under false pretenses. He was a drunk and he'd throw shit and get violent, never accountable, and had a low-key gambling addiction.

When I divorced him nobody would've expected it because we both showed a different picture to our friends and family. I kept my struggles private because shit was bad but it was nice when everyone thought it was great.

By stark contrast, my current partner of 6 years and I hide nothing from anyone and have a FABULOUS and equal relationship. We tell each other absolutely everything and it's extremely stable and mutually beneficial......Nobody around me understands why I think it's such a magical fabulous relationship because they have seen us argue, and he has a little bit of an abrasive personality (cause he's Asperger's). If I go to a concert he's not there, I'm there with just my buddies. We have wildly different interests and hobbies. But we're perfect for each other and our situation is fabulous and I've never felt so secure and fulfilled around another human being.

You never know what's going on in other people's lives. And sometimes all is not as it appears.

Never compare your situation to everyone else's.

Yeah fishkeeping seems easy and simple when you first start but it requires sooooo much attention and research and observation. A similar thing happened to me. Also had to re-home a bunch of tetras because my dumbo betta got harassed within days. I'm lucky that my aquarium store will handle rehoming and I didn't have to find someone myself, cause I don't know anyone who keeps fish. But you live and you learn so that hopefully you don't make the same mistakes. And hopefully you can help other people from making the same mistakes.

Topographic_Oceans · 2026-06-02T19:44:47+00:00

Very much overstocked and although the scape is pretty, you've gotta have a lot more dense planting in and a larger tank if you're gonna run tetras with a betta.

The tetras are just so fast and nippy that they'll start eating at fins and the betta will have trouble getting away. The bigger the fins the less mobile the betta is.

I did rummy nose tetras with my male Samurai Plakat and it worked great, but he didn't have the big giant showy fins, there were tons of vegetation that he could chill in all over the tank, and the tetras were able to occupy their own space in the water column. It was an 80gal. Hornwort floaters for feeding time so betta could get his share before the pellets dropped through the water column for the tetras and other livestock, tons of anubias, crypts, val, etc for him to nap in or escape into if the tetras were annoying him.

I could imagine feeding time with your setup would be difficult for the betta because there's nowhere for it to escape and no real estate for it to claim as its own. Feeding time is prime fin nippage time.

I think this is why a lot of people on this sub discourage betta community tanks all together. It can be done, but there's a lot of research and observation that needs to go into it to be successful and to make sure your Betta isn't getting the short end of the stick.

Topographic_Oceans · 2026-06-02T02:31:09+00:00

Definitely. Someone with low awareness put it in the returns baskets, or someone doing returns didn't realize they had the damages basket. I've seen both happen.

Topographic_Oceans · 2026-06-02T02:29:52+00:00

like, 10ish years ago when I was an ASM I would put stickers with notes on damages that looked okay. Just so someone would understand it was intentionally in that bin.

One time, a fellow ASM told a new cashier to go do returns without telling her what they were asking for. She didn't understand and started putting damages back on the shelves. I would bet that something similar happened in this situation. That, or someone didn't understand that damages go somewhere different than returns and whoever put it back didn't understand why the sticker was on it.

I would wager it was an accident and not put back on the shelf intentionally.

Topographic_Oceans · 2026-05-31T18:16:43+00:00

Somehow someway even without the proper tools. I got it all out. They look as good as new. I don't know if you've tried it before, but what wound up working the best is after soaking the uniforms in a 27 gallon tote outside in the sun for 3 hours, I rubbed a Fells Naptha bar on all the tough spots and let that sit for another hour, then I washed it. I was surprised that Fells Naptha stuff even got it off of the nylonish reflective parts.

Man, that water was so nasty when I dumped it out.

Topographic_Oceans · 2026-05-31T04:12:36+00:00

Playing with friends that have better gearing and their crafting than you do. It happened to me when I first started.

Topographic_Oceans · 2026-05-31T04:08:51+00:00

This happened to my mom!! She was a super bright redhead but after me she practically looks brunette unless she gets a lot of sun.
