Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

O.k. So here's a new one about weird stuff in food. I buy (one-serving) containers of plain yogurt each weekend at the grocery store--basically, whatever is on sale. Last weekend, the sale item was Dannon Triple Zero Oikos plain yogurt. Never had it before. When I tried it, it didn't taste completely plain--there was just a hint of "some" other o_O flavor . . . Decided to read the ingredients (I figured all plain yogurts were the same), and to my surprise they threw in something called: chicory root fiber?? :confused: What the what??!! :jawdrop: yuck . . . :depressed:

I've never seen their plain - I always buy their vanilla. Now I know to continue to do so!

Anything that I am replacing that is still functional, I give away. I never sell anything. My fridge and dishwasher were both kaput. Everything else was in okay condition and was hopefully a blessing to someone else.

Except the stove, of course. That nearly cost my cousin Junior his left foot. :(

Now don't get all upset, I just marvel at it because it is something I would be way to cheap to do. I can appreciate that you are generous with your castoffs, I just have a difficult time wrapping my head around it. I have never replaced a stove. I have repaired them. I have never had a fridge give out... where do you buy that stuff anyway? I did replace a dishwasher once when it quit working, but, that came with the house originally. When I moved out of my house after my divorce, I left behind an upright freezer that had flawlessly been chugging away for almost 30 years.

I'm glad you can do that, I just don't have that gene, I guess. I have the "way to cheap" gene. Who knows, maybe that's why I'm single?:)

All I need is a new table. (Actually, it's coming on Sunday.) As @PUSH said, it's not to his taste, but it's very Jennifer-ish.

New leather breakfast bar stools too.

I still need to re-centre the painting - waiting for the table to be in place, so I don't have to do it twice; I need the perfect area rug; and I have to paint the kitchen ceiling fan blades.

From what you've shown us it sounds like you have a beautifully decorated home. My decoration style...a mishmash of Disney souvenirs.:confused::)

I also have a 25+ year old second fridge that works like a charm. My 9-year old Kenmore however, had already crapped out on me twice, and was making threatening noises again when I got rid of it. I'd already lost two full loads of food in the past. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice ... and all that.

The truth is, they don't make appliances like they used to. Deliberately. There are too many computer components now. I'd already replaced the "motherboard" in that fridge. Seriously, a motherboard.

As for the new kitchen table and chairs, it's the first "new" set I've had since I got married.

And let's be honest, just like my Purchasers, I like "pretty, shiny things". I am ridiculously frugal sometimes, but when I open the purse strings, I open them big time.

I know you're not asking me to justify myself, and I don't feel compelled to do so. I like nice things. Hubby likes me to have nice things. I deserve them. (Yes, I do have that high of an opinion of myself.) I think everyone deserves nice things. The interpretation of what constitutes "nice things" is what varies from person to person.

I hate that they are integrating more and more things into appliances. I saw one that has a TV built in. No thank you. I prefer my appliances separate so when one breaks I'm not replacing the whole bundle.

That's probably where I went wrong. I wanted my wife to have nice things as well, but, I figured that she had me and they don't come any nicer then me. Surely, that should have been enough! ;):angelic::joyfull:

Without actually going back to check, I think I pulled that pic from YOUR trip report.

Yeah, that looks like my pic. Those are pretty sweet cups. I enjoyed some coffe out of my green one just the other day.

I know, right. I think I'll pick some up this summer and display them with my salt and pepper shakers.

There are some more designs of those trash can salt and pepper shakers now. So maybe you'll have to buy a couple more. I have 6 designs. And they also sell some of them as ornaments.

The glossy stones were all hand picked and purchased over multiple trips to Old Town on 192, and the shells were collected by the boys on Clearwater Beach. It's not a very classy display, but it means something. There's 10 years of nostalgia in that simple vase.

I thinks the display with the stones and shells is cool, especially with the story of you got them.

Pokemon Go won't let me log in today, probably because it's a Saturday and the servers are jammed more than they normally are. Apparently my friends are addicted to it and are ahead of me in the game even though they didn't start until after I did.
