Schwan’s: Expensive but Worthwhile

Laota and I got our very first order from Schwan’s a couple of days ago, and man was it worth the money! First of all, frozen and pre-prepared food isn’t my thing, but with my busy schedual and no transportation ( it’s freezing out there! ), it’s harder and harder for me to go to the grocery storey, because I don’t want to walk a few miles in freezing weather, and if you’ve ever been to Missouri you know the smaller towns don’t have sidewalks most of the time, so you’re going mostly uphill right in the narrow road being passed by jerks who don’t care if they hit you with their pick-up trucks, all just to buy some chicken or milk. Plus, I’m finding it hard to even find time to pack my bento, which I adore doing.

So this is a nice alternative. When Laota and I get off work, it only takes about 10 minutes for us to heat up a meal with main course, side dish and veggie and it cuts down on mess so we don’t spend quite as much time with dishes. They even gave us a free 2 and a half pound tray of sweet and sour chicken with pineapple and peppers over rice because we’re new customers. How cool is that?

Daiso Wishes

Argh, do I have to live so far away from a Daiso? Is it really necessary that there be no outlet near me at any point in my life where I may purchase my beloved bento whatnot’s whenever I want to without having to pay shipping?

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t dislike using the likes of eBay stores like The Bento Store and Tokyo Gift to get my bento wares, but it would be nice to save the money plus be able to replace things that may get damaged, and now I’m just going to whine forever and ever, lol.

Blogvertise

Well, I’ve just joined up over at Blogvertise, which is a blogger-driven marketing service in which bloggers, like moi, get the opportunity to review products and services from advertisers and give our honest opinions about them on our personal blogs.

I’m excited about this, because a lot of pay-to-blog services require only one hundred percent positive posting which is why I refused to join many said websites that I’d been to, simply because I’m not going to lie to my visitors – and Blogvertise doesn’t want me to, either. They’re website claims that I, the blogger, may post whatever I want to post about the product, service, ect. that I’m asked to post about, which means if it’s something I’m ethically against I can say that, if I love it I can say that to, if I think it’s dangerous, if I don’t like the color, if it seems impractical or even too practical – I can say whatever I think and still make money for my opinion. How can you beat that? Not even with a stick, that’s how, lol.

Of course, I am given a time limit in which to complete these opportunities, so I do have some restrictions but I’m not all that worried about that – I’ve got a lot of sheer determination, and that’s easily the best spice for someone starting out in a venture like this. Wish me luck!

I say PEW to it!

Stupid, piece of crap house! Why do you insist on falling apart when you know damn well I have no money to fix you’re stupid ass?

First of all, as you probably know from my other blogs, the house I live in is a piece of butt fudge that can’t be dealt with in any sort of normal capacity, but now it’s gone too damn far. The hose ( yes, hose, as in garden hose ) we use to connect the washing machine to the kitchen sink so that it’ll, you know, wash things has started to strip the adaptor, twistie turnie thingie it uses to hook onto the sink – which means that you now have to tie a piece of plastic shopping bag around it or water spews all over the damn sink.

On top of that the dryer blows the fuses in the basement every three seconds, so nothing ever gets dry, either – I fucking hate this place.
