I can't remember the last time I had beef jerky. And I'm hungry right now. It sounds good. But everything sounds good when you're hungry.

[Demonskid]

even when i'm hungry i'm a picky eater >w>,

[SparX]

When I am REALLY hungry I eat without even tasting it gets bad I can be really gluttonous sometimes

[Alistair Fawkes]

I have a bad habit of grocery shopping when hungry. I usually go on Thursdays when they have the best sushi chef making all the goodies, so I'll pick up a few rolls for lunch. But of course that means i'm always hungry when I go and I end up getting all this crap I don't need/don't eat.

I like going on tuesdays. its when they stalk the Gyoza o3o

(we dun has a sushi chef here)

I'm waiting for them to finish all the construction they said would last six months now one year later. -_- I kinda miss not having my produce department half-empty all the time.

[Demonskid]

our giant eagle and aldies went through construction to make the store bigger.. it doesn't seem bigger though ._.

[Lawtan]

Our college-based shopping area has 50% of the businesses shut down & gone due to the 6 month long road construction that has stopped anyone from getting to the shops.

[Demonskid]

poor shops ono

[Alistair Fawkes]

That sucks... I always feel bad when I see mom n' pop stores struggling. (Assuming this is one.) That's why I'm so glad my town has kept the historical square kind of "hands-off" to big retailers and chains and lets local business owners flourish.

[Demonskid]

i don't think we even have any mom n' pop stores around here anymore.. ._.,

[Alistair Fawkes]

It's really not something you see a lot of anywhere anymore. :( Austin has this whole motto called "Keep Austin Weird," which is basically the support of local business. I don't know when that started, but it's had a visible impact.

Outside the urban/suburban area its all retailers.

[Demonskid]

they need something like that here.. =/ just so i can get a friggen job.

all the 'retailer' stores don't like to hire people that arent young and pretty, or have already have work exp...

(been at home taking care of mom since before she graduated high school)
