Lazy Lions Lounging
I love that the first sea lion’s chair and table are roped off so that people understand that they shouldn’t disturb him or her. The couple on the chair in the Galapagos? I – it’s a beautiful thing, and frankly I felt that the camera was a mite intrusive.
So back to an old thread Dubravka… I saw a personal shopper in my grocery store this morning! I don’t think I would have paid any attention before our discussion! The produce she was picking out looked excellent. I asked her about it and she said that like anyone else, she picks the best from what’s available. She has gotten to know that some customers are happy to take an extra piece of produce to make up for quality while others don’t want it at all if it is not perfect. So it may be quite doable!
Wow! A personal shopper for groceries! I wonder how much she charges.
Didn’t ask that. âšī¸ I was so astounded that there was one. She is hired through the store though if that helps.
That sounds like a fancier title for housekeeper/cook.
I’m not surprised they exist, though. My first job in high school was as a cashier at a Whole Foods-type grocery store. A huge number of customers were there to buy stuff for their boss. You could tell because they paid for their items with cash out of an envelope.
It’s a surprisingly big market. I get flyers/coupons all the time now from meal-prep companies where you pick out which of their menu items you like, and they bring you all the ingredients.
The cooking part you and cleaning up you still have to do yourself, naturally. They’re just selling you the ingredients and delivery, and ironically it costs as much as ready-made restaurant meals.
I’ve been seeing ads on facebook for some company aiming for single folks, because it’s all about how cooking for one isn’t worth the prep and cleanup and you should totally subscribe to their pre-packaged healthy meals for 10 bucks a pop (introductory offer $7.something!). I bought a rotisserie chicken breast on Saturday night for $7.something, which I pulled apart and put in the fridge, then Sunday I made some rice, peas, and gravy (from chicken broth), all of which I already had at home, and I had dinner Sunday and three lunches for the week (plus a little leftover chicken, which I ate last night, and half the gravy which I froze), for probably less than $15 total. So I had to wash a few dishes, so what.
This one looks like a nicer version of a TV dinner, but while those cook-it-yourself meal kits are a good way to try new recipes (without buying quantities of ingredients you might not use if you don’t like it), everything comes in separate plastic packaging. They say they’re recyclable (and I think at least one of them will let you send the packaging back to them to be recycled) but I’d wager very little of it actually gets recycled (what with municipal recycling only taking certain things* (and a lot of that still gets trashed) and people being generally lazy).
(*and don’t get me started on items with a recycle symbol on them but no number. I sent an email to one company asking what type of plastic it was, and they wrote back that it was #5, then said “happy recycling!”. Which is all well and good, but no one around here accepts that, unless I drive 20+ minutes to Whole Foods, which has a collection box…and I have no idea where it goes from there.)
Overwhelming urge to scratch first sea lion’s tummy gently.
I’m a Duck. No one would suspect a thing.
I’m imagining a duck landing on his tummy and kinda shuffling back and forth.
Of COURSE they should lie on the comfy, available loungers instead of those uncomfortable rocks!đ
I think they are very much enjoying the soft/smooth they’re lying on instead of the rocks. I think they are squirming and rolling around in delight. It’s so sweet.
That first sea lion is clearly a celebrity: roped off VIP area and paparazzi! The sea lion couple makes me think of times when you want to snuggle really, really close with someone, but then their breath, or their hair, or their whiskers are tickley.
Clam juice cocktail anyone? Itty-bitty parasols optional!
I’d buy them a round of micheladas.
Which, btw, has anyone ever tried? They sell a variety of Budweiser cans of it near me but I’m not ready to try them.
