I have noticed that, for at least a month or so, many of the cheap brands and/or store brands have been out of stock when I've looked to place an order online. Stop & Shop offers 22 varieties of cereal online; 19 of them have been out of stock for weeks. Gas prices have been coming down in the past month; grocery prices haven't seemed to decline at all (from what I've seen), and people's buying habits are clearly still being affected.

and the next entry... The Tampa Bay Rays already have 15 players on the injured list. Now pitching coach Kyle Snyder might be on the shelf, too. Snyder injured himself walking toward the mound to visit ace Shane McClanahan during the seventh inning of a 9-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Saturday. The 44-year-old Snyder had to return to the dugout, and manager Kevin Cash went out to speak with McClanahan instead. "He pulled a calf muscle -- pulled it, strained it, popped it -- we haven't gotten the final injury report yet," Cash said. "I had to step up."

So, basically, carbs... And I still drink 2L+ of Coke Zero daily. (I know, I know... but I'm not giving up my soda or pot)

The Yanks are probably DeJected and DePressed after his game-winning 2-run double last night. “It’s not easy for us right now,’’ Boone said of his team, which is 70-36, but is just 12-16 over the last 28 games. One thing to remember: the great 1998 team actually started 1-4 and they could never quite get to the point where they had the best record ever after 'x' amount of games (the 1984 Tigers started 35-5) until they got to 92-30... and they immediately lost 6 straight and went 12-16 before finishing 10-2 to wind up with 114 wins.

If you want this to resonate with Americans:

Dad invents flamethrower for kids to play with at home: ‘Best toy ever’ The DIY device might look diabolical, but the burst of flame is a harmless blaze of flame-colored silk. Can't post pics because there are kids in them, but: https://nypost.com/2022/08/05/dad-invents-flamethrower-for-kids-to-play-with-at-home/

I hate exercise and love junk food. Their effects on health really should be switched.

We had a previous thread about this but it's closed now. My doctor told me in January that I have to start getting my act together (not his words, but the gist) because my A1C had reached 8.6. Of course I got right on it in April. I still haven't started trying to diet, but... I've been watching my sugar intake and taking my diabetes medication for about 3+ months. Went to the doc Wednesday, & I'm down 17 pounds since January and my A1C went from 8.6 to 6.8.

And they were right. Kim & Pete have broken up. As have Chelsea and Jo. I'm utterly devastated.

You're conflating 2 different fiery crashes (hence my comment at the end). The Mercedes driver was arrested and will no doubt face vehicular manslaughter charges. Heche (who was driving a Mini Cooper) will have plastic surgery for her burns, probably go to rehab, and then some 35 year old will play her in a TV movie about her courageous recovery.

Cracker Barrel is now serving plant-based sausage. Meat eaters aren't having it. The new menu item comes with a side of controversy. Cracker Barrel is ruffling the feathers of some carnivorous customers by offering Impossible Sausage as a protein option. "Discover new meat frontiers," the company said in a Facebook post. "Experience the out of this world flavor of Impossible™ Sausage Made From Plants next time you Build Your Own Breakfast." The company's decision warmed the hearts of some vegetarians. Meat-eaters had some spicier things to say. Cracker Barrel told USA TODAY in a statement: "We're always exploring opportunities to expand how our guests experience breakfast and provide choices to satisfy every taste bud." It's impossible For a carnivore to eat plant It's just impossible It's impossible Or that carnivore will rant It's just impossible

Anne Heche was reportedly involved in a fiery car crash on Friday morning in Los Angeles and is in critical condition. The 53-year-old actress was taken away on a stretcher in photos captured by TMZ and hospitalized for severe burns. She's intubated but expected to live, according to the outlet. A witness told the local news station they believe the driver of the car was going around 60 mph and blew through a stop sign in the quiet neighborhood before the crash. The vehicle, a blue Mini Cooper, went through some bushes and into a house, which also caught on fire. The homeowner was inside at the time of the incident, but is OK. TMZ, which broke the news on Friday afternoon, posted a photo of Heche behind the wheel. There is a bottle near her in a cup holder with a red cap. Witnesses told the outlet that Heche first crashed into the garage of an apartment complex in Mar Vista. Residents tried getting the actress out of the car and that appears to be when the photo was taken. She apparently put the car in reverse and then sped off, crashing into a nearby home shortly after. Quite a week for fiery crashes in L.A., huh?

Seth wrote and directed the finale, which felt more like an ending than a 'to be continued.'

YUCK! at any stage, with any outfit, under any circumstances YUCK! at any stage, with any outfit, under any circumstances YUCK! at any stage, with any outfit, under any circumstances I've been saying for a long time now we need a vomit emoji!

Dear Abby: I have been with my 45-year-old boyfriend, “Doug,” for six years. His mother, who was widowed five years ago, has moved here to Florida from New Jersey. Doug is very protective of her, which I kind of understand because she’s 63. Yeah… and??? The kicker is, she has started flashing her breasts at us. I’m pretty sure she does it to Doug when I’m not around as well. I have mentioned to him multiple times about how disturbing it is, but he brushes it off and refuses to confront her. We have adult children, and she recently went into the pool with all of them with nothing on. It is starting to worry me. I don’t want to be the one to confront her because it will get ugly. A nude 63 year old woman? It’s already ugly. — Flashed in Florida Dear Flashed: Has Doug’s mother always been a “free spirit” slut who thinks flashing and skinny-dipping are amusing, or is her exhibitionistic behavior something new? If she has always been this way, someone should point out that what she’s doing is inappropriate unless it’s clear that nobody minds being filmed for onlyfans. In this case, YOU mind, and I wouldn’t be surprised if your adult children were also less than enthusiastic about nauseated by the woman’s performance. If her exhibitionism is something new, then she should be evaluated, first by a doctor who specializes in geriatric patients and, if necessary, referred to one a saleswoman who specializes in geriatric psychiatry finding the perfect-fitting bra.

Vin Scully has died. (Handsome) former pitcher Mark Mulder is probably sad, as are many.

@WilliamM, if you were responding to @jeezifonly's last sentence, then HELL NO! The ex-Mr. Witherspoon's voice is his second greatest asset.

SCULLY DIES; MULDER MUST BE MOURNING Vin Scully died. (Handsome) former pitcher Mark Mulder is probably sad, as are many.
