    In your 40s you become a hobbit. And truly enjoy it.

    Snarking not infrequently about the silliness of non-Hobbits who don’t understand safe, simple pleasures.

    I miss Costco. We moved to a rural part of the US a few years ago and the nearest Costco is now 2.5 hours away. Really hard to justify a 5 hour round trip to shop there. Luckily they do sell a lot of their stuff online but it’s not the same without the browsing and the slice of pizza at the end.

      I got my brother and myself some Maggie Organic socks a few years ago, we still talk about them from time to time. Solid socks, really hold up well.

    Bonus points, if your partner is into that: Drinking green tea regularly makes your dick taste reeeally tangy.
    Or so I was told.

    Imagine paying and polluting to ship water around the planet because you’re too lazy to put a couple dry leaves in a cup and wait a few minutes.

      Most bottling is done regionally for this reason. Though I do agree! I got my sink to disppense water hot enough for tea, I just fill a cup, add honey/sugar, and a baggy of flower, leaves and/or stems.

        I thought hot tap water was bad for you? Of course my mom told me that back in 80s along with some other stuff that turned out to be not so true lol

          They probably mean the extra tap you add that heats cold water for drinks, rather than the central hot water tank line

          It’s well water I manage myself (test and filter). I could see some tap waters being worse then others though! Though really anyone can test their water for pretty cheap.

              Lol fair enough. I grew up with the food pyramid and only recently learned that actually eating most of my calories from bread isn’t better then from mostly beens and veggies

      It’s green tea! People don’t know how to brew it! Don’t use boiling hot water or it’ll taste like ass!

      You want hot water, not boiling water. I just use a tea kettle that has a setting for each type of tea.

    It’s always a challenge with new finds at Costco because the samples are so intriguing but the size is such a big commitment.

    And I also have a bit of self-loathing about how informed the above comment is.

    Definitely green tea, and ice cold flavored sparkling water. All the best parts of cola without the sweeteners.

      Its my favorite thing about walking the dog in West coast Canada. Buds and blossoms, and tons of greenery. This week there was one cool morning and the dew on the grassy hill was just a fine mist instead of droplets. It looked like glitter as we walked to the top.

    Spouse and I received tested is through the kombucha assortment in our preferred super market and found a new drink we can obsess about.

    Find new everyday things and go crazy about them, it’s fun!

        I don’t like the “pure” version. It tastes too much like grape juice which I hate with all I’ve got.

        The second option with passion fruit also wasn’t my cup of tea.

        BUT the one with ginger and lemon tastes awesome!

          Oh man, there is a ginger bug drink in my grocery store that I can’t get enough of if it wasn’t for the price.
