Target, I love you, but we need to talk.

Empty shelves at Target

For the past 15 years or so, you have been going downhill, Target. The first five years, it was so gradual, I barely noticed it. Subconsciously I knew things were not the same, but when the garden centers closed and you added groceries to the stores, that’s when things went to hell. Don’t get me wrong.

Minnesota, you are forcing my hand. What the heck is up with your roads?  I thought the roads in Sacramento were bad.  Uh, no. They are fancy and fine.

Inappropriate Halloween Costumes: All new wrongness & Star Wars

Why is it that costumes for females are all pretty much the same? I mean for little girls and young teens they are all cutesy. For grown women they are almost all sexy. I even saw a sexy clown costume…what part of a clown is sexy?!? I found it in the Party City circular we received in the mail this… Read more »

Public shaming in a public restroom

What the hell is wrong with people? Twice today…TWICE…when I was in the restroom, I heard a woman in the stall next to me talking ON THE PHONE! I’m sure the person on the other end thoroughly enjoyed the sound of her urination and the flush of the toilet thereafter. The sad part? This isn’t the first time I heard… Read more »
