And I bought the Petsmart cat tree anyway
After I railed on Petsmart for advertising a Black Friday sale on a cat tree that had not been previously sold anywhere, I picked one up Friday morning, anyway. It’s a good price for a solid cat tree, and Aremid has needed a new one. I did not get up particularly [Read More]
Black Friday Shenanigans
Here’s one Black Friday sale item I would not mind having: I mean, anything for Aremid. The only problem…I can find no evidence that this product exists outside of Petsmart’s Black Friday sale. Whiskey City seems to have produced this particular cat tree [Read More]
Succumbing to local discount fever
On a metablogging note, I’m currently in an uninhibited mood that’s probably fueled by the prednisone. I could post anything that’s on my mind. I mean, normally I would not post about a range. (Sure you would.) Anyway, as I had gone through my [Read More]
Range
I bought a range. I was just thinking, I should buy a range. Went to homedepot.com. Click. Click. Done. No returns. Well, it didn’t exactly go down like that. I’ve wanted a new range ever since I moved in here, since the crusty, old one has been, well, crusty [Read More]

I like the compact disc
This is Best Buy’s entire CD department. I call bullshit. It’s not like CD displays take up a lot of space. I like buying a CD and putting it directly into my car CD player. I guess I’m in the minority there. [Read More]
Litter Locker FAIL
Thank you, Petsmart, for allowing me to return my used Litter Locker II. Nice idea, like the Diaper Genie for cat litter. But the hole up top is too dang small for the hefty litter clumps that my cats produce. The Litter Locker made the scooping even more of a chore. [Read More]
Tipping point at the Broad Street Whole Foods
Everyday, some manager at the Broad Street Whole Foods in Durham must ask, “How many more displays can we add, and how much can we expand the endcaps today?” You cannot walk from Point A to Point B without bumping into something or someone. I remember, years [Read More]
