Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD (Part 6)

[Bronze]

Especially my Walmart-they redid the whole store-most everything is in a new location!

They did the same thing to mine. I hated going to that store before they re-jumbled it. I don’t have a word for how much I despise that place now.

 

[Bronze]

You’d think with all the money they rake in they could at least have an app like Home Depot has that tells you the aisle and bin of the product.

Oh man, that’s what I like about Home Away From Home Depot. I have their app up on my phone when I go in the store. No wasting time looking for stuff.

 

[jwbnyc]

Costco is pretty good about leaving stuff where you can find it consistently. The trick is to not spend a mortgage payment every time you go there.

 

[jwbnyc]

My Costco did that! Nothings ever in a logical place anyway, but they made it worse and even the employees had no idea where anything was.

Really? I’ve never had that problem at Costco.

Did Lori hit millennial?

No kidding! And then with all the supersize stuff you gotta be honest with yourself. Do I really need a five year sized jar of mayonnaise?

 

[Bronze]

Did Lori hit millennial?

You might be right. Good eye!

 

[DavidOH]

You’d think with all the money they rake in they could at least have an app like Home Depot has that tells you the aisle and bin of the product.

The website for Walmart and Lowes tells me where things are at. Now if the item was really in that spot it would be great. Because most of the time it's not even close.

 

[Nermal]

Give 'em points for trying. Deduct them for being unhellpful

 

[LAwaters]

Did Lori hit millennial?

Thanks for catching that, DD! I was so busy whining that I didn't notice. Went back and prettied it up a little.

 

[LAwaters]

Yours truly, terrible thread secretary that I am, has not posted the millennium list since @DavidOH had his 12th back on 8/15/2021.

In the 3 years since then, we have only had 6 millennial posts - David had 1 on 2/27/2022, and I just hit one. The other 4 were all @Bronze, who now has 14 millennial posts, but still trails @Bunnykiller who has 17.

We are making our fearless leader work way too hard here, friends. And we ain't got much to say to each other anymore. Like old, old married folk.

Geez that’s a long list.

[LAwaters]

Her birthday? Or you’re feeling nostalgic?

 

[LAwaters]

Here’s a PSA, kids. Saw this article about how a company that serves ads bragged about using smartphone microphones to listen in and then serve people targeted ads based on their convos.

Decided to do a little test because the Amazon app often “seems” to have been listening. I had a convo about needing a new gaming laptop with a lot of power, RAM and discreet graphics. I emphasized the RTX 4080 several times.

A little over 2 hours later, Amazon app sends me a notification of a deal just for me. It was a new gaming laptop with discreet graphics - RTX 4060.

Things that make you go hmmmmm.

I stumbled on the video and whenever I do that I always listen cuz she's awesome. Thought I'd share it.

Very kind of you to share. I have a cover by Sheryl Crow and when I hear it I think “Nope.” Karen did the definitive version and no one else should try.

I saw a YT of a vocal coach reacting to Karen’s voice and then analyzing it through music software. She blew the guy away with the quality and perfection of her voice.

Now singers use auto tune to get what she had as a God-given gift. And still they can’t get close.

No one ever like her. Absolute perfection.

Sorry, I could listen to this girl all day long. Sometimes I do.
