So uh. I did some adulting yesterday. I’m not sure how I feel about it.
I emailed Milky Way and asked why I haven’t seen Milky Way Easter eggs in a few years.
I don’t care for them but my wife loves them.
I feel childish for asking where the candy is at but feel like an adult to trying to “fix a problem” with a candy company.

The kicker is I got some weird wishy washy answer.
Thanks for contacting us about MILKY WAY® Easter Eggs. We're happy to hear that this has been your wife's favorite candy for Easter and we apologize that you're having a difficult time finding it.

On occasion, we make special flavors that are available only for a short time. However, MILKY WAY Easter Eggs is no longer part of our range for this season.

There are currently no plans to manufacture this item year-round, but we'll let our Marketing Team know that you'd like to have the product available again.


It reads like they do make it but at the same time it reads like it was cancelled. Corporations suck.

Tell your wife it's time for her to start liking real candy, like grapefruit.

I’ve found wawa answered tagged twitter messages really fast.
Complaining about a terribly terribly made sandwich is the reason why I have a twitter account. That shit was bad. Like 3am I don’t give a shit McDonald’s bad.

I spend a considerable amount of my life in the Birmingham/Montgomery area for work, and the local reaction to tornadoes is really bizarre. There could be a tornado 15 miles away and people will act like nothing is going on, just going about their day, etc. I don't know if it's just apathy because they deal with these storms so much or what, but Dixie Alley tornadoes are no joke. They get a lot of them at night and most are rain-wrapped.

I was in Montgomery in January while a tornado was ripping through Selma some 40 miles away. The storm killed like 10 people and destroyed a lot of commercial and residential property. I turned to my customer with like a "can you believe this?" look. He just kind of shrugged and went back to my deck lol.

Bucks County.
This is the place to put dog pictures, right? Had a dog growing up, but never wanted to get one when I was working 80+ hours a week. I would have felt bad leaving it alone from like 7 to 7 every day. Now that I'm working way less and have the opportunity to train a service dog to hang out with me all the time thanks to the brain tumor and the coming issues that presents, I pulled the trigger on acquiring one yesterday.

I present to you Zephyr Theseus McDoodle. He is a medium Goldendoodle and is three months old. Despite the not so favorable weather conditions, we're currently batting around .750 on bathroom attempts and directing him to chew on toys instead of non-chewing items has been rather successful so far. Stairs are currently a no go, which is great because he can't get to far out of sight when he wanders.
