Fascinating! My wife will absolutely not be TI this L from me, because she loves chicken nuggies and dipping sauces, but hates American Chinese food. Apparently not all of it

TW but also spoilers on sweet magnolias
There is a pregnancy loss. Not graphic, but it’s shown not just referred to, and there are ongoing references for a couple episodes. Uncomplicated loss, no follow up surgery/molar status/anything like that.
Hope that helps to know and guide your choices.

Honestly I am just a major fan of spoilers now, because I’m ready for it so it doesn’t have the same emotional impact, which is good when I’m in an overreactive state.

Okay, I’ll add anything else if it occurs to me!
I just thought about this the other day when I was explaining movies to my 5 year old. So weird.

Walgreens will price match their website!
I found out recently (after buying knee braces online for Walgreens store pickup and having to get another at a different store because the first location only had one left) that the Walgreens website is slightly to significantly cheaper than the store, but they will price match if you ask! The knee brace was double the price in store but today I saved several dollars on the vitamins and meds that I was picking up. It doesn’t hurt to quickly check! Plus I was able to find a coupon on the website that I applied to my account, and it showed up at the register.

Italian Stores Can Only Have Sales During Official Winter/Summer Dates
I’m debating whether to get a little leather backpack from Italy. It looks perfect for my needs and is 40% off (last year’s style) with free shipping to the U.S.
I tried looking online to get an idea of whether the price might drop any more, and learned that Italian stores can’t just have a sale whenever they want, but there are official Winter and Summer sale dates every year (can vary per region) and those are the only times they’re allowed to discount! That is just boggling to me.

Saw on a travel deals Facebook group: apparently if you keep searching for the same flight, it’ll remember and jack up the price for just you. If you clear your cookies or use an incognito browser, you can get the real price

Dammit. Does anyone know if hotel deals do this too? Cause I keep starting to research and then not actually booking anything because I have to get certain other peoples’ opinions. If it were just me it would’ve been booked weeks ago.

No idea, but check in an incognito browser or someone else’s device? On that FB post, the woman ended up looking on her husband’s device and it had the original price, so she booked it!

Woody Harrelson’s dad was a hit man???
And I learned it from a stupid meme no less.
(Not endorsing the meme, it came up while scrolling. And I did, indeed, learn).

This was an informative if heartbreaking read, I’ve been trying to stay updated on what’s happening there (for normal people not just politically).
“Kabul University, among Afghanistan’s oldest and most revered institutions of higher education, reopened Saturday for the first time since the Taliban takeover six months ago. Men and women attended, but now were segregated, with women required to wear Islamic dress.”
"Despite the lack of a formal ban, girls grade seven and up have effectively been barred from going to school in most of the country since the Taliban’s takeover six months ago. The Taliban have said girls will be able to return to school by late March.
Access to education is a key demand of the international community, and the Taliban have blamed delays on lack of adequate space, especially in cities, to accommodate segregated schooling."
This was powerful too, Syrian though, not Afghan, just came across them at the same time so thought I’d share both.

Uh… kind-of a weird thing but I found a well-thought-out online market where you can sell your used sex toys! I can’t be the only one who has bought stuff (after reading a million reviews) that just don’t do it for me, and I don’t want to trash them but don’t feel comfortable offering to my friends, either. They have a list of accepted quality brands and instructions for sanitizing. I listed two items for a low price and one of them sold this morning!
