I forgot about Trump's pets comment. I wonder if your little possum is safe. If Trump wins, your possum had better hide in the dishwasher for the next 4 years...
I'll never forget this comment - it was my 'laugh out loud' moment of the debate. Good grief!

When he said that, I thought that I must've turned on the comedy channel by mistake.

I don't think so, we watched several on youtube but don't remember Meyers.

I was kind of stunned that "Gavin Newsom" on Kimmel's skit was played by Meyer's brother Josh! I thought he looked familiar so looked it up. The guy playing Vance sure looks like what I'd think Haley Joel Osmont would look like as a grown up, too.

DH went to bed before our go-to Colbert's video was available so we'll watch that tonight, as well as looking for Meyer's - tyvm for that idea!

I've read Heather Cox Richardson's newsletter and a few other Substacks, my favorite cartoonist had an interesting David v Goliath take (attached)
then I read all the new grocery ads, added my DQs and now it's morning so I think I'd better let this go and hit the hay.
Great Cartoon!

FYI - There's so much out there to watch and listen to that I often forget things or just run out of time. So, depending on your available time, the Meyer brothers have a podcast which I have never gotten around to listening to but is apparently about celebs, etc., talking about Family Trips; Seth has a Closer Look segment which I always listen to, and also a segment called Corrections which I catch occasionally.

We are doing what we usually do, skipping the debate and watching late night pundits and their clips. Easier to swallow with a side order of humor 😉
I thought about doing that, it is usually how we do it, but there were so many things said that were literally unbelievable that I'm not sure I would believe it all without seeing it in real time.

And now we have to worry if what we 'see with our own eyes' after the fact is possibly AI. Last night's debate sure has given lots of material to the late night comics!

It's sad, actually. Trump shouldn't be running. He's too old and he's totally lost it. I wanted to hear a debate on the issues not what we got last night. It wasn't Harris's fault. Trump wasn't capable of it. Trump should do the right thing and withdraw from the race for the good of the country. Imagine if he were to win...

On a non-political topic, there's a great deal at Vons on the 32 oz Palmolive for 99 cents. That can't last the day but at least Vons will actually have it to start the sale (unlike CVS). I got a J4U deal on Coke. It's b2g2free and I got a special price of $8.54. I've been playing Game On and I clipped a 5/5 this morning which makes it $12.08 for 4.

I didn't realize that the Palmolive is the extra-large size. I was wrong about lasting the day. I got the last 2. Something told me to get my butt over to Vons immediately. I have to go back later today to get some potato wedges so I'll see if they restocked the Palmolive or have them on an endcap somewhere. I'm addicted to the potato wedges at Vons. I have a J4U offer of $4.34 for a pound all month. That's actually a bad thing lol.

So how much trouble can I get into for calling CVS about the $25 that was stolen from my card? Fake number (that helped me a lot) and I'm going to have to see what personal info I gave them. The last time I called CVS had to be 5 years ago. The SM called customer service for me and then the rep wanted to speak to me and grilled me for 10 minutes. I don't want to go thru that again. I also got grilled by Was the last time I called them which was a few months ago. It was over a $3 RR that didn't print. Wags customer service had always been really nice but this time they were anything but nice. The rep grilled me and then wouldn't do anything about the $3 so I had to go back to store and do a refund. I came out ahead on the refund but the whole thing wasn't worth the hassle.

At least with Von's, they get a new truck multiple times a week. I guess how much more Palmolive you'd be able to get will depend on how much the warehouse has and whether they have enough employees to move the stock.

You should absolutely call or chat online with CVS about the $25 stolen. You may have to 'shop' for a customer service rep who will help you, but there are many reports of people getting their money back in the Facebook group. Be patient and respectful with the rep and don't let anything they say trigger you. The most successful complaint is someone who is nice to the rep who is helping you.

I'm worried about questions like what's your real name and how many cards do you have.

You use the name you assigned to the card. If you have an obviously female name on it, use the chat. I don't think they would ask how many cards you have, I've never heard of them asking that. If you have to, keep the account open on your computer so you have all the information in front of you when you call.

I got 2 more dish soaps. They didn't restock so I dug around the back of the shelf and found them. This is such a good deal. Has anybody found the 80 cent Downy beads that I've been reading about? I think that Kroger has them. Cotton scent. A guy was wiping out the frozen section this afternoon. He must've had 40 dinners in his cart.

I can't figure out why my Vons gets trucks multiple times every week but none of the ad items ever get restocked.
