As a kid I used to love:

Pixy Stix: flavored "straws" of just sugar powder:

Fun Dip: a sugar stick used to dip into a little bucket of flavored sugar powder, and then you break up the stick at the end and chew it:

'Murica

I remember Pixi Stix but back in my day Fun Dip was called "Like-M-Aid"
Just pour a little into the palm of your hand and lick away. Wash our hands first? Noway!

Sounds about right for what I remember doing with that stuff too.

Wait, you are not supposed to snort it

Me on October 2: "Okay, the winter tires I want can be here in 2 days. I'll wait for the wheels to show up."

Me on November 2: "... ah, shit."

The only tires I can get in the correct size are Bridgestone RE980AS+, so not bad, but not real winter tires. With how the past couple of years have been that should actually be better than winters until mid-January, at which point I plan to buy a boatload of ramen noodles and stay home if it snows.

. Ready for another 36" dump?

I am actually predicting a mild late winter this year. Gonna snow early though.

I'll get through with my 5 year-old all seasons I think, but I'm significantly further south.

Chewy just put through a re-order of it to be shipped hopefully today/tomorrow. Thankfully they're a reliable company.

Heh I effed up.

So when I originally ordered the food last week, apparently I accidentally ordered the next larger bag (18 lb). I had been trying to do 9lb bags because I figured the vet would say to move him up to the adult food soon.

We know the story about the original order yesterday.

So last night I ordered a bag on Amazon because I wasn't sure when Chewy would respond and if they would send a replacement.

Today Chewy told me they would send a replacement, and it is already being shipped now.

Well, Haru and I just got back from a walk and what did I find on the ground in front of an apartment a building over? A large Chewy package addressed to me.

(the issue is that while the shipping label was correct, whoever at the FedEx facility marks the building number down with a sharpie wrote the wrong number...)

So now I am about to have 3 18 lb bags that'll probably last me 6 months...

Worth a post.

Meh, no big deal. It won't go bad if you keep it closed. If you get the word to go up a size you can always just keep using it until its gone, mix them together it that's a concern or donate it to a local shelter.
