Running With Scissors.(Formerly HippoRastaPotamus)

Thursday, May 7, 2026

I had this last night and I haven't had it in forever (I thoroughly loved it!!!!) and the price had gone waaaaay up! The last time I had one it was a reasonable 8.95$....and now it was an outrageous 16.95$ and for the same size! It used to be 8.95$ for a small( the size I got) and 14.95$ for a medium and 16.95$ for a large and 19.99$ for a jumbo.

Holy f*cking SHIT!!!!

My hubby groused at THAT price ".....and it will be a long time until you have it again,too!!"

Everything has just gone up soooo much in price lately, most things have even doubled in price or close to it, like my coconut oil that used to cost 25$ and is now 45$.

I remember when we were kids/teens we used to save up our $$$ to buy records & posters for our bedroom walls but now as adults you have to save $$$ to buy gas which is now almost 2$ a litre!

I also heard the cutest thing the other day: a guy's 2 YR old didn't follow the rest of the family but went into another room on her own and announced, "I go different" and I thought it was the cutest thing ever and I should use it as my motto in life. I also found these photos of vintage hair barrettes and ponytail thingies I used to have when I was a little kid(the exact same ones!) and it brought back happy nostalgic memories and I loved them even though my hair was so thin(it still is, uuuuuggggghhh!) the barrettes always kept slipping out (and sometimes wouldn't close)and the "ball" things hurt my head.

Yesterday the lazy recycling also left one bin behind yet again making my hubby wonder if they're just maybe being picky and think they're not 'sorted properly' or whatever.

Well, they can suck it.

I'm so tired of this shit.

Just do your job.

Tomorrow my hubby and the youngest also leave for Waterloo( I'd thought he'd said Windsor before, but it's something that starts with "W" so he either told me the wrong thing or else I heard it wrong; either one is possible) and I get a bit of a break home alone, and they have a new Governor General now and all anyone seems to care about is that she speaks French and I don't get why everyone always makes such a big deal about French all the time either, as long as you can speak ONE of the 2 official languages, and the FIFA World Cup isn't until next month(I think...) and I'm already tired of always hearing about it!

No one talks about how heartbreaking it is to see your life slipping away because of your mental health.-omgsidewalks
