Total Crisis in my Life!

Maery Rose August 12, 2009January 27, 2015

Costco has quit carrying Walkers Quadruple Chocolate Cookies! The cookies are made in Scotland but there was a website on the box so I figured, surely I can have the cookies airlifted to my home!

But no!!! Walkers website did not list the Quadruple Chocolate Cookies anywhere!

The closest cookie that I saw was the Belgian Chocolate Cookies, a far cry from QUADRUPLE chocolate cookies, which are made with Belgian while chocolate, Belgian dark chocolate, Belgian milk chocolate and to top it off have Belgian milk chocolate chunks!

I’ve been buying these things for at least eight months. They cannot do this to me!

How much pain and frustration is one human being expected to bear!

Hibernation, Anti-nesting, and Snow Folly

I’ve been in hibernation mode lately, like an over wintering bear, only peaking out from time to time. Hibernation isn’t easy during the holidays but I did pretty well during Thanksgiving, making turkey for Steve and I and spending the rest of the day painting my office.

Manure Happens

Second round of layoffs today at work. The first round was in December, not that long ago. So far I’ve dodged the bullet. Seems like the first thought the people who remain employed have in a layoff is “Thank God it wasn’t me.” And there is a huge sense of relief. However, that’s…

How Did You Spend Your Labor Day Weekend?

Does this tell you anything about how I spent mine? I’m the one who fell off the bed and is laying out of sight. The gray fur ball on the floor is Shy. My latest household problem was another appliance failure, this time my kitchen range. It seized recognizing the oven temperature setting and just…

Clouds

A strange thing has happened in the last couple years. Well, one of many strange things — I’ve become perplexingly fascinated with clouds. Driving to work last week, at every red traffic light, I tried to capture a shot of the sky with my camera. Why are traffic lights never red long when you want…

I think this calls for an internet petition, to bring back your beloved cookies.
