Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Look at her smiling face, that's Saelee who worked hard on Souther's birthday party. From what I could tell, she did these things: 1) got a special vegan ice cream flavor from Scoops!Chocolate and Cinnamon. It was great, I had a second serving. 2) rented the serving containers, made rice, beans, peppers, and actually attempted to make handmade tortillas! Didn't quite work, but they live near Echo...
What’s so special about Superbowl Sunday? I don’t always watch the game, but maybe I wanted to see the commercials, witness the hype, or gather with some family. I think it’s the latter for me. When my mother owned a restaurant, she had Superbowl Sundays. I think it was something like $50 for a ticket and 60 people would come. I guess if you do the math it’s a few thousand, and it would overfill each year! Tons of people would come and she’d have maybe 6 or 7 televisions going on including one big screen. I used to work the door and collect tickets. She’s have prime rib, ham, turkey, sushi, halftime oyster shooters!, and so much more. The food was non stop. I think the coolest part was that, she’d take a seat front and center in front of the big screen and yell at the TV. Now, it’s a strip down version of it all.

How do you save a few dollars? I have no idea how I thought of it, maybe it was a link, but I had to get a bunch of things from Staples online, and I felt like I was getting ripped off. Pens, paper, toner, staples, and more went over $100. I know this stuff costs nearly nothing to make, and the plastic wrap and labels costs more than the goods. It’s less about the amount, but more about the feeling that you’re getting ripped off. What to do? I bought a coupon off ebay. Who knew? $20 off $100 and it cost me $1.40. Watch out for the “shipping charges” even though there’s no shipping. There’s tons of crap like this out there and it just goes unused till it expires.
