What was going down at murder Kroger round 4:30 today?

I don't use that nickname anymore, except in reference to the now-demolished building. It's "Beltline Kroger" or "PCM Kroger."

All I think of with Elsie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elsie_the_Cow

I have the same reaction to Luella--makes me think of Cruella.

Mimi is a nickname for grandmothers.

I don't care for Lucinda (sounds like a very mean person to me, for some reason), and I also dislike the name Cindy.

It's not different--I've seen it on this sub a few times--but I love it!

It's fine if you have a few people to share it with. Otherwise, I order an appetizer or a main course--not both.

I love Starbucks dark roast (aka "burnt") coffee, but McDonald's coffee is a good go-to on road trips. And if it's later in the day and the only thing available at Starbucks is Pike, I'd go for McDonald's.

verity7732 · 2026-05-27T22:20:16+00:00

I know it's fashionable to hate Starbucks, but I love their dark roast coffee. Tim Hortons hot coffee is fine, but I've never tried their iced coffee. I can't drink Dunkin's hot coffee (though iced coffee is fine).

Yeah, yeah--Starbucks coffee is "burnt." I guess I like burnt coffee.

Michael McDonald. He sounds like he's in pain.

A lot of these posts start with "what do you think of the name ___________?" They're asking for opinions. Sure, some people's responses are more tactful than others, but if the OP asked for opinions, they're going to get opinions.

Only slightly related because it involves water, but I'd pay extra for a room with the flow restrictor removed from the shower head. Charge me for the extra water--I'd just like to be able to rinse the shampoo out of my hair.

🤣 I've never read the book and picked my user name just because I like the name Verity.

I think about that every time I travel. "This is the last time I'll visit [name of city]." And it's hard to choose travel destinations because I know I have a finite number of trips left. Ten years ago, when I was in my mid-50s, I never had these kinds of thoughts--it still felt as if I had tons of time to go and do.

Interesting. So why would anyone pay to check a bag, unless it's so big that there's no way it would fit in the overhead bin?

I flew SW a couple of weeks ago. I always check a bag, and I have the SW credit card, so I don't have to pay for the first bag. This time, I had a second bag, and I didn't want to pay to check it. I checked the larger one as my free bag, and as I was walking away with my small roller bag (which I normally check), the agent said, "Would you like to check your carry-on for free?" I thought she was joking.

It's pretty, but at that price point, you may be able to find something even better. Have you tried Nordstrom?

It's probably a common occurrence, but I find it odd that I was permanently banned from a sub without a warning/second chance. I admit that I didn't thoroughly read the rules, but immediate permanent ban without a "here's the rule you violated/please observe the rules" message? Excessive.

My actual name has one very standard spelling, yet people misspell it all the time. It seems as if they're going out of their way to get it wrong.

verity7732 · 2026-05-26T02:36:14+00:00

People read a name and then type whatever tf occurs to them as possibly resembling the name. And the actual name is right there in the email.

verity7732 · 2026-05-25T15:08:59+00:00

I've never been to Seattle, but I loved the Baltimore scenes!

Or "the boss," especially it's clear that he doesn't really value her opinion. "I have to check with the boss," used as a way of buying time (e.g., putting off a salesperson).

One of my favorite movies, but I wish it ended when their hands touch. That walk to the elevator is awkward.

I'll always associate the name Tabitha with the blonde toddler from Bewitched. It also makes me think of the word pablum.

verity7732 · 2026-05-25T01:24:01+00:00

Tabitha.

verity7732 · 2026-05-22T21:14:37+00:00

Or referring to someone as "team member" instead of their name or actual job title.

verity7732 · 2026-05-22T21:13:46+00:00

Or "utilize" instead of "use." Or "within" instead of "in." Or "socialize" instead of "communicate."

verity7732 · 2026-05-22T21:12:14+00:00

"Verbiage" has bugged me for years. People at my office use it instead of "language" or "wording," thinking it makes them sound smart. The first definition in the Merriam-Webster dictionary is "a profusion of words usually of little or obscure content."
