Local costco seems to have stopped carrying velveta bulk boxes. Just shitty basic craft boxes which at this point I find foul.

You can buy a lot of stuff on Costco.com that is no longer stocked locally. I had the same issue with those tiny cans of pineapple juice, but if your order is enough $$$ it's free shipping. So stock up!

Also I heard if there's a * near the price, it means they are not restocking that item anymore.

The starting QB on your fantasy team, the first week back from an injury, apparently breaks his left arm....
The team he plays on has their backup RB in (who your opponent this week has) and runs in a TD on the next play to put him 3 points ahead of you, and seals your loss for the week.

I don't play these because 1) I don't have any clue who anyone is in sports anymore and 2) I have SUCH bad luck IRL that last two times I played I came in dead last. In an office of like 50 lol.

The luck thing is so bad, on game night they had a special rule named after me, on my 3rd roll in a row of one (20 sided dice keep in mind) when trying to do one action, it counted as a saving throw.

Chain Rustling Inbound.....

House Project for Fall : Get the interior of the house painted along with de-popcorn a couple rooms and fix some minor cracks....

Call painter for quote. He comes over, looks at the types of cracks and says "I can't quote you for this in good faith until you get the foundation looked at, these are signs that we'd paint it and in 6 months you'd have cracks and be unhappy with it."

Call foundation people (All Pro Foundation in Dallas, they've done work on my mom's house and were good and reasonably priced). They come out. Guy looks around the house, doesn't even unpack his gear. "I don't need to measure the details of your slab, you have a leak of some kind under the middle which is pushing the middle up, and pulling the ceiling away from the walls on the outer edges". Proceeds to take me on a tour of the outside of the house to show evidence there I hadn't even noticed yet. "You're going to need to call a plumber, probably drain line replacement since I know this will be an old cast iron drain".

Call Plumer he recommends, they can't get someone out before a week and a half from now. But they spend half the call trying to convince me of the method to fix without even looking at the problem, which conveniently enough happens to be the most expensive means of repair (tunnel under the house and manually replace the pipe along the same path.) Call another plumber and get a much better response. He agrees that there are multiple ways depending on the situation, and can have a guy out Friday.

So one tiny silver lining? In a cascade of middle fingers from the universe. All because I wanted prettier walls to make the wife happy.

In edition to SNAP there are cards they get loaded with cash that can be spent on basically anything.

Yeah, in Texas there's the "Lone Star Card" which they end up with SNAP and every other benefit on. Some of which you can straight pull out like cash at an ATM.

I assume that she thinks upright walls are the prettiest of all, so the silver lining might be bigger than it feels at the moment. Maybe an expensive one, but also maybe a lot cheaper than an eventual but sudden alternative.

Yeah, it's just also causing consternation because we're seriously looking at moving. Buying land out somewhere, and building our "we're going to live out our days here" place. So that has us wondering how much money we want to sink into the current house. Add into that the fact that in our neighborhood people don't buy houses. They buy you house for the land, then raze your house and build a McMansion so it's not like we'd need to do repairs/improvements to sell it.
