I only have cereal on the weekend, but I rotate between CascadianFarms Fruit and Nut (an homage to my CA roots) and Kashi Peanut Butter Crunch or Berry Crisp. With almond milk because regular milk and I are no longer on speaking terms.
 
Ugh. Just put in an instacart order. it feels so invasive. like i want some turd nugget being all up in my business about why I want one fuji apple and one gala apple. I also think i figured out why I hate online shopping so much... it is very overwhelming, all these pictures of stuff. Pages and pages of stuff hitting my eyeballs. At least when I'm in the store, it's at a more casual pace. I hope I never have to do this again. I think it's nap time.

When I'm at the grocery store, I get to pick the apple I want.

When it's someone else doing it...

I was awful at it. SOME things I could do well, like headliners and carpet. But I was terrible with the sewing machine. I was the guy they sent out in the 100 degree heat to take things apart or put back together. One of my older brothers was better at it than me, and he tried to take over for our dad but he didn't have the best business sense. The rest of us got outta dodge

man, reading your posts is like reading a story of my own life. I was terrible at it. I was trusted with nothing but the most menial stuff, i.e. headliners, carpeting, taking apart/putting together, and sweeping the floors.

the sewing machine? forget about it. of course, running over my own finger once may have had something to do with that :biggrin:

Smashed my fingers quite a few times

I bet if I tried to do it today, I could do a much better job, but it was never going to be something I excelled at. My brother just picked it up effortlessly, nobody had to teach him. My dad expected me to learn the same way and I didn't. Honestly, I didn't want to learn because I was being made to do it.

They also made me do the junkyard runs when we needed a replacement part. That was actually cool, riding through the yards and looking at all the wrecked vehicles.
