Well not much of a joke but the downstairs neighbor and basically everyone who came by to help resembled that guy, or as I figured it, the typical Walmart customer.

I tried that once, but it wouldn't hold still -

I will probably also have this in my garden next year.

Random philosophical (?) question for the group. At the risk of sounding like an ass, how much more would you be willing pay a vendor/store/etc you like for the same product than one you are ambivalent to?

I feel like $100 is way too big a difference to ignore, but $20 is no problem. But in between is a grey area. Do you have a limit?

Why are parents so prideful?

My siblings are coming for a visit. It's a Jewish holiday. So my mom was gonna make a more typical Jewish meal for all of us this weekend.

When we discussed it like two or three weeks ago, we said maybe she'd do Jewish style braised/roasted brisket. Parents said they'd only do it if the price of brisket wasn't too bad.

I told them I will split it minimum two ways with them or more so they're comfortable getting it for this occasion.

Yesterday I talk to them and they tell me they're making some other dish.

They went to the grocery store and it was 12.99/lb for a 3-4 lb brisket.

My dad says as soon as he heard that he told the butcher "no thanks".

I'm like, I offered to pay for at least half and I would've just footed the whole thing no big deal, I can afford to.

And my parents who insist all the time they're not cheap literally acted cheap and on top of that wouldn't take my offer.
