And it would be nice if a task wouldn't require ordering something from Amazon.
Tried to fix my fountain pen. Ink reservoir broke into three pieces when I tried to put ink in it....which meant I had to fish those pieces out of the ink. And order a new ink reservoir.
Cleaned up the kidlet's school supply bin. He's almost out of pens. Had to order some more.
Cleaned my soda stream bottles. Can't get the smell of mold out of them. Had to order replacements.
Moved my cookbooks to a shelf in the kitchen. Had to order bookends to keep them from falling off said shelf.
I'd feel bad about so many orders in a day, but I know that when I have multiple orders come in on the same day they usually group them into one box. Or they would have sent them in four separate boxes filled with lots of air anyways no matter what I did. There is no understanding the ways of Amazon Prime. ;)
LOL. After LM gave me crap out global warming/destruction for the number of Amazon Prime orders I placed a day, we've taken to just putting everything in the cart. The whole family adds to the cart. Then, when someone actually needs something within the next couple of days, they poke me with a stick and I pull the trigger.
I LOVE carts with facial care stuff, diapers, heavy metal albums, and sawblades. I figure some peon deep, deep in the Amazon warehouses is making up neat stories about my family by inspecting our boxes.
(I'm fairly sure most boxes are packed by robot, but I'd expect a human "box scanner" who just looks at the contents and checks 'em against the manifest. There are certain things robots still suck at...)
EDIT: And the BEST thing about Amazon is that you can shop nekkid!

Ugh. That reminds me that I need to find replacement pants for the kidlet. One of his ripped beyond wearability. But I don't want to order more of the same because the ones he has aren't holding up well. He's so picky about pants. He wants elastic waist (NO ZIPPERS!) cargo pants. No compromising on this. But this isn't exactly an easy to find category. The ones he has are intended as scrubs, but they are like the worst scrubs ever made. No durability at all. Any suggestions out there? I know that some of you guys are also on the comfortable pants bandwagon, so maybe you would know of a solution that doesn't involve me having to sew a whole bunch of pants. Pretty please?

Impus Minor is the same: Loose, comfortable, elastic waist, no zippers. We were buying him sweatpants for the longest time, but they just look terrible. We finally found these "pseudo-jeans" at Target that look like jeans, but they're really sweats.
Impus Minor loves them, they look good on him, and so far they've lasted well.

Uh, elastic waits over zippers?! Have they tried pants that have buttons instead of zippers? Preferably slightly wider than their size with the pants held in the right place with a belt. They should be old enough to appreciate the ability to adjust the pants with a belt already.

Hmm. I've never run across those and I've looked there a few times. Are these in adult sizes? Cause the kidlet is very much adult sized. He's 5 foot 8 inches and 180 pounds. And pants for men tend to include button and zip, which he is very against. No belts either. We tried that. It's a sensory sensitivity thing for him. Same reason all his shirts are tagless. Everything has to be loose fitting, super soft, no scratchy bits. Ever since he was a baby. He is a very hard child to shop for when it comes to clothes. I bought him jeans once when he was in elementary school. Once. He would literally have preferred to go to school naked than wear those pants. Not worth the fights.

Impus Minor's 5'3", 150 lbs, so they *should* have sizes that'll fit your guy. But definitely in the "Boys" section, not "Men's".
(And yes, Target puts an apostrophe in one and not in the other, leading to my eternal annoyance.)

I don't really care for Taming of the Shrew, again I've always felt women should have the right to speak their minds and not be submissive.Oh, I completely agree with the women's rights aspect, and the way the characters are presented, Shakespeare seems to agree with that. I've always favored the interpretation that Kate and Bianca get Petruchio and Lucentio completely wrapped around their fingers and are really in charge.
I always wondered if the title was not referring to the men as shrews, instead of women.

I thought it was because he coined a lot of words that we still use today. As far as plot structure, he was basically the Michael Bay of his era. Only with sex instead of explosions.

On a more serious note, I make a pretty decent literature student(I am quite sensitive to words and I actually read into song lyrics) , but those books never came up on the literature list. We did do Sing to the Dawn and a whole other bunch of books I can't remember.
I found reading Shakespeare hard because of ye Olde English, ye know.
I have read Romeo and Juliet, King Lear, The tempest, Macbeth, The Merchant of Venice and told myself not to pick up Taming of the Shrew after seeing what it was about, I'd probably go up in flames. But that's a different story.
I find that many of Shakespeare works, despite being written centuries ago - still apply in today's context.
King Lear - Remind you of anyone with Alzheimers?
Macbeth - What ends would people NOT resort to for power?
Romeo and Juliet - Family politics. Miscommunication kills.

No.Out of curiosity, what are Wolfberries and why are they served with so many of the dishes?
It's a fruit native to China. Also known as lycium and goji. It's a standard item with some dishes.
Goji? I heard that name...
Ah, yes, you can occasionally get them around here.
I know goji berries. They're super trendy so I've tried to avoid them.
Man, all Shakespear's tragedies took too daggum long.
I was so relieved when MacBeth and Hamlet were dead. I mean, angry, too. "you mean we read alongside just so you could die?! Ugh." But relieved. "Well now we don't have to watch you awkwardly talk to yourself out loud about stupid things in a closet. Again. Or murder the wrong guys. Again." Romeo and Juliet were just really dumb teens who made exceptionally poor life decisions. Andsonehks made that boring, too. I wasn't relieved when they died, exactly, just... bored.
I prefer literally anything else Shakey ever wrote to his tragedies. Even the poems. I don't even really like poetry! I have no idea how they got so popular. Blugh.
(I think he's a bit overrated, despite his talent. To be clear, the man was really, really good. But not THAT good. I mean, after reading his collected works, then going for Tolkien, it was clear who wrote better, even if Spear-guy was more versatile.)
Tac, you're back!!!
I don't like Shakedude's tragedies either, it's gotta be comedy for me. I was totally nonplussed and bewildered by the pervasiveness of Romeo and Juliet for the first 25 years of my life, but then I saw my best friend ham it up as Romeo in a [literal] backyard production in Bumbletuck Brooklyn. I still don't go looking for Romeo & Juliet shows, but I get it now. It's funny, if the director and actors know their Shakespeare. The 'through yonder window' scene isn't Romeo waxing poetic over Juliet, for example, it's just him being a dopey teenager and stumbling over himself.
It is a tragedy, but it's got bits of goof to lighten it up.

U.S. schools -- the public ones, at least -- have a pool of classics (whatever that means) that virtually all of us are taught in grade school. Not necessarily all of them -- I never read A Raisin... or Fallen Angels, for example -- but most of us are at least aware of them via grade school.
I found reading Shakespeare hard because of ye Olde English, ye know.
I had an English prof in college who claimed to have dreams in Old English. He was an entertaining guy. A hardass, but entertaining at least.

Note that this includes what I believe most non-US schools refer to as "secondary school", AKA the last few years of childhood schooling before heading to a university, trade school, or other form of higher education.
Meaning that it's a general course of education that, barring some variances of electives and a few limited options, all students must participate in, regardless of their intended or desired career path.
US schools really don't let you get started on pursuing a specific course of education to the exclusion of generalized studies until college/university/etc.
