It's a very laughable topic, if your kids and their friends are stealing more than a few beers from you, you probably should be more concerned about parenting, lol.

Good luck parenting the friends of your kids...

This thread is hilarious.  A few rebuttals to some comments made...

1. Pop/Soda - while I generally agree that generic pop is not comparable, the Sam's Cola at Walmart is legit Coca-Cola

2. Baby Stuff - Diapers etc, shockingly Aldi's has super high ratings for their baby stuff.  Would recommend.

3. Toilet Paper - hell to the naw, got some of that crap during COVID TP massacre days and yeah wow not worth it at all.

4. Velveeta is one - I swear nothing compares.  The Aldi version I tried several years was so bad I threw out a whole crockpot of rotel nacho dip.

Idk I think a lot of the issues is that NO ONE IS ENFORCING ANYTHING.  Even when we had mask mandates, here in Iowa, people would storm into busy gas stations without a mask and argue/fight anyone who had an issue with it.  Simply put, there was 0 enforcement at least here.  It appears our state/city did not want to spend the $$$ and resources to enforce and simply communicated a mandate as more of a media stunt.

Perhaps it would be more problematic, but they've talked about the concept of a vaccine passport.  I think something needs introduced at the federal level (and backed financially) to hold people more accountable.  I assume that would cause a lot of other issues too, but something needs done.  The "honor" system simply ain't cutting it.

Yup, gonna have to lock it all up somehow.  I wouldn't take no chances, while your kids might be straight-laced, I wouldn't trust the friends lol

@darkchylde28 Yep i know having side effects is generally a good sign that it's working etc, however I had some adverse effects almost certainly.  Had the 2nd shot early like 8am that day, and was absolutely fine until about 8pm that night.

It started with a graze of chills, nearly nothing at all, and within minutes I began to shiver.  It escalated to extreme shivering with nearly all branches of my body, most notably my jaw that was straight up opening and closing rapidly forcing my teeth and jaw to chatter like never experienced before.  Concurrently, the back far top part of my skull begin pulsating with the most extreme pounding pain I never could have imagined.  Due to the shivering I attempted to grab a hoodie sitting on a chair about 4 feet away, but my body would barely function at all and it took me a very long time to pick up the hoodie and put it on, which didn't help.  I was so freaking scared I came very close to calling 911 and thank goodness within ~20 minutes it started to dissipate.  From that point, my weekend was upside down rocked for about 48 hours.

I feel the need to mention that since I did not feel any uncomfortable side effects that day, I continued to be active and productive that day and might not have consumed enough water (contributed to affects?).  I question that though because I was prepared and well hydrated going into the 2nd shot.

Now I'm still a little spooked with the idea of a booster shot, but I'd still do it.  I am fairly certain my level of side effects is generally uncommon, so would still highly recommend anyone on the fence to get it.

Just got my second jab today! In two weeks I'll either be fully vaccinated, or dead. If the latter, I give @OptOut full permission to create a "Rest in peace my dearest friend" thread, dedicated to yours truly

How ya feelin?  My 2nd shot (pfizer) straight up rocked me for about 2 days.  The first night was so bad i almost called an ambulance, no joke.  Thank god it got rapidly better after the first night.

On the verge of putting my house up for sale after it gets re-sided (any day now!).  Deeply excited to move on from this place and hopefully come out a chunk ahead.  However, terrified of buying right now with the market!

It's is a general consensus that season one is the worst of all the seasons. Leslie Knope is not Michael Scott and it took a little time for the writers to differentiate and iron out her character. I'd start with season two and only come back to season one later if you really like the show.

Oh boy messing with my OCD about watching shows and playing games in chronological order :).  Appreciate the feedback will consider for sure

Super interested in the feedback here.  I binged Office in 2019/2020 timeframe and absolutely loved every minute of it.  My friends were adamant "if you liked Office then P&R is a must watch!!!!".

I watched the first episode of P&R and it felt like nothing but a distasteful Office ripoff (especially the whole look into the camera reaction bits).  Did not make it to a 2nd episode.  Friends claim I failed myself by attempting to watch them back to back.  Is that really fair you guys think?

It appears I've failed to leave feedback for Miami...have recently had I believe 2-3 transactions with them and nothing but goodness all around.

If you're looking for a bs'er and/or a timewaster, then don't talk to this fella!
