  • In order of impact

    • Live without it

    • Repair/repurpose something you already have (ex: dig out a spare you might not have in easy reach)

    • Secondhand, local (ex: yard sale, estate sale, Craigslist)

    • Secondhand, online (ex: Mercari, Depop, eBay)

    • Small/medium business, local (ex: farmer’s market, your local co-op grocery store)

    • Small/medium business, online (ex: an individual that makes a certain type of widget, an online specialty store)

    • Large business, local (ex: Meijer, Kroger, Target, Walgreen’s)

    • Large business, online

    • Amazon

    I have personally been going with Meijer as my large business of choice when nothing else serves my needs. I’m not sure how much of an impact choosing Meijer over Target has. But I figure the less I give to any large businesses, the better.

    You mean to tell me those women don’t just naturally have clear, moisturized skin and sparkly eyelids? What next, are you going to tell me that their clothes are carefully selected and not just the first thing that fits from the store? Pfft.

    I also have no idea why they take so long to get ready. Women, amirite?











  • I found that in general, young people are able to connect with their peers more. It was easier to spontaneously go with your friends someplace and spend time together. (The mall, the woods, each other’s houses, or many other possibilities.)

    Contrasted with being an adult, where it may be more difficult to be able to do that. I’m American, so it is geographically harder. But even if you don’t live in a car-centric area, you might still run into difficulties with scheduling and responsibilities that you didn’t even have to consider when you were young.

    I remember the good times, but there was a lot of bad, too.






  • I loved the Shrek movies. 1 was amazing. 2 was on the same level. 3 was pretty good, but not as good as the ones before it. 4 was entertaining but didn’t feel like a Shrek movie at all. It really could have been told outside of the Shrek world and stood on its own.

    But at this point the series is nearly a quarter of a century old. It’s a good sign that they’re not doing an alternate timeline type of deal, but I’m not super hopeful that the story will still be good.
