My brother once had a Halloween picture he colored hung up at a local supermarket. He also got a second-place ribbon.

I guess this means you're two ahead of him.

...cool?


I'm assuming that there's a one-to-one exchange of markets and supermarkets. That may not be fair. I don't actually know the market/supermarket exchange rate, but a supermarket's gotta be worth more, right?

Hypothetically, if one wanted to read one of your stories or view one of your coloring sheets, is this something generally available to the public? Did you bend time and publish in the May 1974 issue of Easy Rider magazine? That would be pretty convenient for me.

I don't smoke anything.

I don't vape, either, except in theaters.

:shock: Tropical storm warning declared for my area. So far it's just rain and wind but it's projected to hit here in the next 24 hours.

Are you on shift at Food Lion today?

Do y'all have any different operating instructions to handle the influx of customers before a big storm?

Do y'all have a Halloween coloring competition I can enter? I still have a chip on my shoulder about my brother beating me all those years ago.

Nope. Off today.

Don't know. I'm the QA. Basically I keep the store clean, take out the trash and clean the restrooms.

No, but DeviantArt might.

My kids are really rough on joycons. I finally decided to order a set just for me. The last time I needed a replacement, the gray ones seemed to be discontinued. To my surprise, Nintendo.com had new gray joycons in stock. Mismatched joycon colors bother me more than they should so it will be nice to have a matching set again.

I have one tee left I want to get for my collection and a couple button ups and I'm finally done :D after that I need two virtual boy games and I'll have basically everything I ever wanted collection wise. I'll still buy some stuff here and there (picking up the epic Akira releases slowly) but no more heavy hitters.

I just picked up something really cool off eBay I'm excited to show off but I'm going to wait until I get it. I've been getting insanely lucky lately on auctions and have been finding museum level shit left and right.

I hit 10k in my bank account for the first time this week too, lots of little personal goals all getting achieved at once :)

Great work! That’s a very nice little emergency/down payment/dream vacation fund.
