Telling me it's Star Wars: A New Hope (1977), only for me to discover it's the wretched Special Edition is *false advertising*, TBS.

So you know Evite, that online invitation service pretty much everyone uses? Yeah, there was a data breach there as well.

You know what works for invites? Regular ol’ email. No extra account or web site required.

@adiabatic My favorite line from the news article: “Authorities said there was no safe way to test the squirrel for methamphetamine.” 🤣

You may laugh. You may cry. You may decide it’s better than “Cats”. We aren’t singing show tunes in the latest Empowered Parent Podcast episode, but we are talking about memories. https://www.onebighappyhome.com/2019/07/04/memories/

@33MHz Maybe. 😬

@doctorlinguist
/@goldenskye I was just reading their history. I knew they were the parent company of Trader Joe’s, but not how international they were. They utterly replaced Franklins down under after they went out of business.

@33MHz The thing is, no, it isn’t new. I’ve just never had cause to go in the one down the street from us. Had some time to kill between hockey games in another part of town today, and there was one next door to the Quiznos we had lunch at. So in we went.

Walked through an Aldi supermarket today for the first time ever. If these had been around when I was in college, I would've lived at this store.

Had Quiznos a bit ago for a late lunch. First time I've eaten at one in a couple of years, and boy do I miss having one in our burg.

@Kabuku And beyond! We moved to DFW 21 years ago, and I was buying books from Amazon two years before that.

Ever since Amazon took over their own shipping, service from them on that end has gone downhill. Got an email today Amazon's delivery driver was unable to find a delivery location that packages ordered from Amazon have been going to for **two decades**.
