Haha I picked a grocery store at semi-random. I don't actually shop there; there aren't any nearby.

I know that HEB is "big" in texas and has run groceries out of the area, but, unless you are in texas or have passed through it, its surprising to see it mentioned. I mean unless you have watched NBA games with either the rockets, mavericks, and or spurs and seen the store advertised on the screens in the arenas. And no, the teams are not named in any order beyond hey, its KSP so rockets get named first for nerdy sake, but, beyond that, no special order lol. 021602062025 new page initiated

Huh. I don't spend much time in the Southern US but when I do, 100% of it is in Texas. HEB is so big there I just figured it was more prevalent than apparently it is.

Her response was, "Screw you, you're forcing me to go! I can't write very well; it's always been my weakness... (she began to cuss me out from that point)" You'd think when a professor encourages a student to do something that benefits them (and offers extra credit), they'd be grateful and NOT hostile. Nah, she promptly cussed me out this afternoon. 

One would think there would be repercussions for her for that exchange alone... I'd have never swore around faculty, never mind at them.

mom was being an idiot with her finances, to make sure it wasn't a glitch, she did it again 2 days later. now we cant pay the electric bill. yay. and no more cab rides from the grocery store either. she thinks she can sell her stuff on ebay, and of course wants me to do all the work. maybe i can use this incident as leverage to get her to sign the caregiver support forms. with pay (and this is a government subsidy, it costs her nothing, except maybe her free tax exemption card and some food stamps) id be in a better situation to help her cover the electric bill and others.
