I went and got proper lo mein noodles. I had leftover fried chicken and used the wings for the protein.

I have one more bag of noodles. They are $2.99 for 8 ounces. I will not be buying them again. They are just a egg pasta. I'll make my own.

Cost per person $4 Cost of I make the noodles: something close to $2.50

Whoa.
Wow.
Dang.

Actually, I think I can relate to you across at least one of those areas, FP-- i.e., there have been gals / people / groups who considered me this sort of 'amazing, wonderful person' upon first encounters, and glad-rocked me to be added towards their... well... whatever the hell their local belief system was. :S

Almost every single time, that-all turned out to be a perfect disaster, and much of the time I just had to sabotage that shizzle. Just shut it down hard, even if I get villified by angry, ex-GF's. And indeed, that's what commonly happened.

Honestly, it kind of KILLS me how I had a pretty, patient, librarian-type GF a few years back, and I really did like her, and for-sure could patiently get myself involved in her stuff (because that's how we do, right?)

but... BUT... BUT...

Godammit, this is dumb and embarrassing. 🤢

    I can assure you that I will make every effort to not make you uncomfortable about your status as a wonderful person. But if you need anything let me know.

    My exes are a mix. But each and every one will say that my ability to offer validation is lacking. And that if they are going to recognize my birthday that it better involve cheesecake. A lesson even my mom learned.
