[bladeweave]

i do hate to have a loyalty to a corporation but my family has been cvs purists my whole life so when i go to walgreens or god forbid walmart and look at the packaging for their generic medications it feels. wrong. like hearing someone speak a language with the incorrect intonation. this isnt how its supposed to work.

[glittter-vamp]

I use the flex cup! You can find them at Walmart, target & Walgreens. My periods are heavy and it last me my entire 8 hour shift when I work. You also pull it out like a tampon so it’s easier than the diva cup. I also used the DC and hated it 😊

Thanks so much for the rec! I'll def look into that one 🖤

PBS anon here!

AAAH I'VE SEEN THE TAGS UNDER THAT FANART YES I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT ABOUT YOUR DRABBLE THANK YOU HE'S SO HOT 😩

Sorry for not writing sooner, I hate that I can't get notifications about answered asks if I send them in anon (I heard you could recieve notifs for these too years ago) and also timezones.

And about the headcanons: I only sent the licking confession, I don't know who would have sent the headcanons 🤷‍♀️ And I feel you about the request part, I have requests too (tho in aesthetics) and I am also a big procastinator so yeah it's awkward :_D

Sending you lots of love!

Also here is something I found on pinterest, I print it one day (I only have black and white printer 🥲) and assemble it.

UGH I know right? 🔥 dreamsfulblues literally makes some of the best Bruno fanart I’ve had the pleasure of looking at.

YEAH I feel like I vaguely remember that. I don’t know why you can’t get notified. It’s silly.

Omg, I want to print this out too. I know a lot of stores like walgreens, rite aid, walmart, staples, etc… have photo departments and you can get a bunch of photos printed in high quality for a pretty good price. (I don’t even know if you’re in a country that has one of these stores—I still wanted to give these examples though in case you don’t have these stores and can find your country’s equivalents). Anyways, what I’m imagining is getting this printed on high quality paper and then cutting it out and assembling it. It would be so cute!!

[help-help-i-need-an-adult]

I was the youngest kid (by a lot) and I’m in my 30’s now. This was already a thing.

I remember my siblings would just leave the house to go see friends. My brother had a bus pass and would go all over the city with that and a bike. My sister would take herself to her church of choice, a job, choir rehearsals, and piano lessons.

This was all accomplished by mom just refusing to let us stay inside if it wasn’t literally storming.

So she did the same thing to me. I was in the same house, same neighborhood, plenty of kids in the area, but no where to go.

None of the other kids my age were allowed outside without an adult to supervise them, which there wasn’t one due to work schedules, so my neighborhood was a ghost town.

The country roads with one nearby bus stop my brother used to frequent were now busy city streets without a shoulder or sidewalk. I walked a few of them occasionally when I needed an adult and the Walgreens was the closets option, but it sure as hell wasn’t safe, especially if the sun went down. I’m amazed no one called the cops to get me.

There wasn’t a park nearby I could access without crossing one of those dangerous roads. I wasn’t allowed in to use that neighborhood’s park anyway because I lived in the neighborhood across the street. The nearest public park was outside the city and required money to get in and a car to reach.

The nearest mall was in another county.

The library was several miles away. Also, dangerous roads. No sidewalks.

The school wasn’t within walking distance so I had to ensure I caught the buss because I couldn’t rely on mom to come get me if I stayed late for an activity. My friends and I would have been arrested if we’d hung out in the parking lot after hours on our own.

I’d end up walking around the neighborhood, alone, or riding my bike, alone. For hours. No one to talk to. No where to go. Not allowed in my own fucking house unless mom couldn’t deny it was physically dangerous to be outside. If I was in my own backyard alone doing nothing, mom would come harass me.

I didn’t like basketball, but the driveway was now full of cars because mom had filled up the garage by the time playing basketball by myself might have been acceptable. So that wasn’t an option like it was for my brother. The hoop was there. The ball was in the garage. But the play space was taken away.

I used to climb the backyard tree so mom couldn’t see me, but then puberty hit and now I couldn’t hoist myself up there like I used to. Also, this only worked when there were trees so the majority of the school year it wasn’t an option.

My parents couldn’t afford movie tickets and I couldn’t afford movie tickets because my parents took all my money. I couldn’t walk to a theater anyway. The nearest one was in a different county. My friends would occasionally buy me a ticket if they really wanted me there too. I can count those occasions on one hand.

There wasn’t a skate park in my city at all.

I could safely walk to a Walmart or McDonald’s but just wandering around those places got the cops called. Also, I had to walk through several forested areas and fields to reach them. Navigation was tricky. I got lost for hours in that space as a 7-10 year old before I could reliably navigate it.

I had choir rehearsal once or twice a week for most of my childhood and mom was always late to pick me up by like 45 minutes to an hour. (This started as young as 10 years old but I’d been left alone at churches for just as long at much earlier ages). So I was alone on a college campus at night in the dark on a regular basis. It wasn’t till I was 16 when someone noticed that some parents were shitty and one kid was being left alone unsupervised and they made a policy to have an adult wait with us. This adult hated me that year. It was my last year because I was tired of being blamed for mom and dad’s neglect. But before that, I was alone, no transport, no friends. That was my 1 third space and it was still a lonely wasteland when rehearsal wasn’t actively happening. (This also doesn’t mention the times I’d be dropped off early to be alone or on a day where choir wasn’t happening and I had no way to call my ride back. Once my dad just dropped me off in the wrong fucking spot because he saw kids who were clearly older than me and not in my uniform outside and didn’t listen when I insisted it was the wrong spot. I had to find my own way to the correct location.)

All of this was without a cell phone.

Third spaces were nonexistent and boomer mom wouldn’t listen so I’m honestly surprised I wasn’t in danger in a way that made her regret not listening to me.

In high school I also started college and used that to claim I had so much homework that I didn’t have time to go outside. THATS when I was finally online. Finally had friends after school I could communicate with. Finally had some kind of 3rd space.

And I had to lie to get it.

3/23/24

4:08 p.m Updated and Edited

Today I woke up at 3:40 p.m. I took only a chunky half at the start of my night. I took it at 5:25 a.m and my eyes got so heavy by 6:25 I skipped using mouth wash. I time when i use it. You should brush and let the fluoride set in for 30 minutes and then use mouth wash. That's something I learned from chrest whitening strips.

Anyways, I woke up at 10:40 a.m with a full bladder. I tried like hell to ignore it. However it got to the point that I knew I was sabotaging myself. So I got up and peed. I laid back down. My stomach hurt... and I couldn't fall back to sleep for 15 minutes. I didn't have any mental pictures. Mental pictures that randomly pop are how I know I'm falling asleep I know that sounds weird, but they randomly pop and it's all kinds of things. And once they are in motion I know I'm about to get put down.

I try not to make the mental images as I can make an elephant right now squirt water out of his trunk. I try to have them happen naturally and randomly cause when I make them it doesn't seem to work in terms of passing back out. I also try to think of my last dream or other dreams I had and I remember vividly as that helps a little.When I lay there with my eyes closed I just listen to American dad or whatever.

So after 15 minutes I decided to pop a Benadryl. Just 1 Benadryl... they are at every store in America almost and you may have a cap of how many bottles you can buy a day at say Walmart. You can't buy like thousands at one place... I think anyways. But if you needed thousands, you could go to Walmart, cvs, walgreens, target, stop and shop and buy like 200-300 pills. So I figured to make sure I got more than 4 hours of sleep, it was worth it.

I didn't touch the hydroxyzine. It's not a controlled substance but it's a prescription and I'd like to stock up and only touch it when I really need it.

I'm disappointed that I couldn't ignore needing to pee. I'm even more disappointed that I have/had to resort to more drugs to fall back asleep...

If i had woken up at like 12-2 I would have not take the Benadryl... even if I hadn't gotten my 7 hours as it will knock me out longer and I'm trying to make sure my half doses stay effective...

Today marks 3 days on the half doses knocking me out without any other drugs... I HATE that I had to take the Benadryl 4 hours later.. but it's whatever I got to sleep. I especially had to today cause I was supposed to be going to my dad's house for Lori's Birthday..

When I woke up at 1040 skye was like trying to chase me down and I was like I can't talk, I kept my eyes closed as I walked down the hallway and as I peeded. I try very hard to not lose the ability to fall back to sleep... either way she said dad needs us to be there by 430 and no later...I said okay..

And by the time I woke up it was 340 and Skye was already on her way... I assumed skye was being a bitch cause maybe she wanted to leave earlier, later tonight or something but come to find out some of our family would be there and they didn't want to wait around... it def makes me feel better about skye.. not so much dad. Just schedule it at 5 or 5:30...

I told him my circadian rhythm is fucked up and getting my 7 hours is critical to my recovery and just my ability to function... and beyond that I told them I was on benzos not sedative hypnotics and that's why I can't fix my circadian rhythm or take the drug at a normal person sleeping time. Either way I'm not going now. I'm upset but I guess I get to stay in the house for 2 days and not do much of anything. My body needs it...

Anyways I had a series of dreams but one of them was very distinct... I was in prison working in the prison and we had to go to this underground part with lots of hallways and it went on for miles, we had to dig out the hallways or something but we were exposed to toxic gas and had to wear these face mask breathing things... I barely wore mine, I often was standing near the two guys I was with and I realized I didn't have my mask on and I would put it back on but nonetheless not too long after it wasn't on anymore...

I remember going deeper and deeper with these 2 other guys... as we dug it out and revealed many long hallways... I believe we were using night vision...

The weird part about it is, we traveled from our prison to the underground one on a roller coaster... there have been a lot of roller coasters in my dreams recently.. a lot a lot.... I assume it is symbolic of being stuck on this ride of psychosis and having no choice but to finish it until it ends. I dreamt about meeting a girl at this mall/college who liked me and we hit it off two nights ago... and we had to take a roller coaster in our college/mall to get to a certain floor and I got off at an earlier stop cause I was scared and didn't want to go the whole way..

Either way back to the important dream, we road in on a roller coaster and I remember the deeper we got in that prison as we found our way back I was like where I am when I looked at the roller coaster and the guys were like this is how we got down here....

Also I noticed that despite the fact that we came down with an entire crew, me and the 2 other guys were the only people working....

Another key factor was the prison lied and told us we were clearing it out for paranormal investigators.. when I was alone with the two other boys I said I don't think this is haunted and one of them, "no duh" and the other said, "the prison system is over crowded, people are actually going to have to live here and we could be forced to be enprisoned underground once they fix the toxic air quality issue."

When we went back to the roller coaster once again I was confused as to where we were and they said the entrance. Everyone was sitting at table benches in what was like a lunch room. other than us 3. There were prob 20 people sitting there. There was a woman above us in what looked like a baseball field but it was the only part of the prison that showed grass and had natural light.. the only window per say. Like an above sky light.

And I guess we all started talking about how we might end up living in the underground prison... and the woman above screamed this out in terror, "when I'm down there, I forget my name!" The dream ended there.

I know why I dreamed it, I know why she was the end of it... it was about the psych ward again... being trapped. Losing your personhood there. You know I walked around shirtless exposing my trans identity the entire time I was at the psych ward cause they couldn't take my scars away from me. I felt like I was a number and no longer a person.

If somehow they got me to stay at an institution long term, I would have turned into a zombie and forgotten my name.

I mentioned I dream often of roller coasters.. I always get off the ride and I'm okay, whether I get off them early or when I'm supposed to... I really think it's symbolic of being stuck on this ride of psychosis... in the other dream I had there were like multiple floors to get to mine in this mall/college and I got off at the first stop cause I was scared...in this prison dream there were only two stops one at the bottom and one at the top and we were being forced to be down there..

Also I guess I'll go back over ptsd:

1) I have flashbacks constantly. Everyday.

2) I have insomnia but obv psychosis triggered it without my weed... but nonetheless I have found ways to make living/sleeping with this auditory hallucination more copable... its it is easier and actually possible to sleep with drugs but I can't sleep without them, and TV at a certain volume. Etc.. I do have sleep disturbances. I wake myself up talking now..... legit saying full sentences... I wake up frequently. I can't stay asleep for more than 3 or 4 hours... when i used to stay asleep for like 5-8 hours straight sometimes 10... I've been falling asleep quickly recently that's why I want to kick myself for taking Benadryl... but it's whatever. I got 8 hours and feel great. And I didn't take it at the same time... hopefully it doesn't fuck anything up. Also I could pee back in the day and pass right back out...

Either way i have sleep disturbances.

3) lastly repeated dreams of the event. I may not qualify for really having ptsd... but the symptom list grows. The reoccurring dreams of me sliding down that hill with water with the Marijuana plant at top which is clearly symbolic of weed being why I'm at rock bottom. As well as psych ward dreams. Roller coasters to locations where I lose control. I'm never scared. However I always know I'm stuck. And can't get out.. the prison was a psych ward. Even though it wasn't.

My skincare routine

making a post about this mainly because I've had a huge improvement in acne over the past few months and I'm really happy about it and just want to share the products that helped me because I've struggled for YEARS to get it under control. I'm still not sure if my all this progress would be reversed if I were to go off of birth control because a lot of it is hormonal but bc alone has only done *so* much, you know?

All links are provided are just for your reference, I don't get any money from anything (I wish I would as I could use it but lol). Target is going to be the main source for most things as that's my preferred store but there are like 2 things that will be at Amazon. Products could be available at other retailers like Walmart, Walgreens, etc but generally Target has the best coupons and Amazon in general has best prices for things that you can only find at Ulta/Sephora otherwise.

Step 1: Cleanser

Garnier's micellar water was basically the vehicle that enabled me to get started with a skincare routine. Past cleansers I only ever used in the shower or sparsely because I hated having to wash my face in the sink, getting water/chemicals in my eyes and also everywhere else. Not to mention a lot of cleansers are really drying. Not micellar water! You just put some on a cotton pad and wipe your face and done. I've been using the mattifying one for oily/sensitive skin for a long time but I recently switched to the vitamin C version as I have some stubborn acne scars that don't want to go away. There's a variety of versions so you can find the kind that matches your needs!

Step 2: Toner

I recently got this rice based toner and I love it. It's thick, smells great & is moisturizing. Tbh I didn't realize I got a scented version but there's also a scent free version!

Step 3 for AM: Acne based treatment

Cerave Acne Control Gel is my daily acne treatment. I feel like it's more gentle than the general spot treatments you buy because you're supposed to put it all over your face but because you're using it daily it's helping to prevent new acne from forming which is a big deal. So it may feel like it's "not working/taking forever" but its working behind the scenes. Also tbh if I have really bad spots I'll use spot treatments on top of this lol.

Step 3 for PM: Acne Scar Treatment

So I got this Stubborn Marks treatment like a month ago and tbh the verdict is still out for me as to whether its really helping or not? I have old acne marks above my lip that are taking forever to go away so idk. But it feels nice and I feel like the retinol at the very least is helping with any sort of wrinkles or whatever else I have going on so lmao.

Step 4: Serum (I only use this in the AM because I feel like there's not much of a point in using it at night and because I'm trying to save product due to money even though this is only like $6)

This serum by the Ordinary helps you produce less oil so if that's a thing for you, it's a great choice. Again, The Ordinary has hella options for serums and they're all really affordable so you can find whatever fits you the best.

Step 5 for AM: Moisturizer

So I use the neutrogena hydroboost if I plan to go outside because it has sunscreen built into it. It feels like regular moisturizer but this way you don't have to worry about sunscreen too. My sister borrowed it one day and complained about the smell of the sunscreen I guess but I don't really notice it personally. If I'm being a homebody (aka most days) I use Rael barrier cream. Even though it's kind of a small jar a little goes a long way! Also to note, even though this is on Target's website it's only available for shipping for whatever reason so I also buy it on amazon a lot.

Step 5 for PM: Moisturizer

The Cosrx Snail Mucin Cream I posted about the other day; it kind legit feels like mucus but it is really refreshing lmao. But because it is kind of sticky-ish in terms of texture I only use it at night.

Bonus acne/blackhead steps:

Hydrocolloid patches are the holy grail for acne; I'm so glad they've become a thing in recent years. Honestly the brand doesn't really matter, just find the type that's best for your situation. The general patches are best for white heads but there's also some for acne that's still under the skin, etc. In my opinion, stay away from expensive brands for these; spending extra money literally makes no difference in the quality unlike other skincare products. Earlier this year I got zitsticka killa deep zit microdart patches for like $16 for 4 patches for a deep deep zit that hurt very badly and would not go away and it didn't do anything more than cheaper brands. Really the only difference was it came with like a 'prep pad' to cleanse the area.

After you've used a hydrocolloid patch and your acne has leaked out all of its gross goo, use some Hero rescue balm! Lately I've just been buying the travel size since I don't have many zits anymore but if you have more acne going on, the medium & jumbo sizes are worth the money because they last for a long time. There's also the red correct version but I only recommend it if you want a balm that's more of a like medicine and makeup in one? It starts off green but then morphs into your skin color as it sits. When you wipe it off at the end of the day it'll pretty much look like you applied makeup as well.

Tonymoly's Tako blackhead scrub stick; it's viral for a reason. I use this lil guy on my nose/the sides of it after I get out of the shower. I've also had this for forever now and it doesn't seem to be low either so lol.

Last bonus tips from me: As someone who suffers with acne, I've found the "acne focused" products are kind of the worst? Like I tried Hero's acne focused moisturizer as well as ELF's acne focused moisturizer. Hero's was like anti-bacterial which sounded great and ELF's just had more acne medicine built into the moisturizer and neither helped me. I also tried out Rael's miracle clear toner since I really liked the barrier cream but that also didn't work as well for me as tonymoly's mochi toner (which I also recommend; it's pricey but it's a giant ass bottle so it lasts forever).

Lastly & most importantly: give each new product you've never tried before at least a month. Especially when you're just starting out. Your skin has to do a "purge" which generally means things get worse before they get better which I thankfully read about before I started my process. A lot of things also just take time. Of course if you have a reaction, stop ASAP.

It’s absolutely insane!

I take meds where generics are available, but my insurance wont cover them, so I’m forced to buy designer.

Without insurance, they are around $300-$400. With insurance, they run me around $200. If I go to GoodRx, on average, they cost about $150 ($175 at Walgreens specifically). If I use GoodRx at Walmart, they cost me THIRTY-FIVE DOLLARS

I hate walmart (no hate against anyone who works or shops there), but there is no way in hell I am not taking advantage of that insane price jump for drugs that keep me alive 💀

Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!

[momsgotabudget]

Welcome

Welcome to my blog, Moms Got A Budget! I wanted to start out and introduce myself and what I hope to bring you in this blog!

My name is Ashley, I am a stay-at-home mom or homemaker, all my kids are in school so I'm not sure what that makes my title anymore. Anyways, I have three kids and a fur baby. I am also married to my baby daddy, yes, I call him baby daddy and he hates it. We've been married for 12 years now. We are also a very huge scouting family. Both of my big kids are in Scouts BSA and our littlest is in Cub Scouts. I am the committee chair for both our Cub Scout Pack and our daughters BSA troop. I also sit on the district in Membership chair. While my husband is Assistant Scout Master of both our sons BSA Troop and our daughters BSA Troop. We love to do the camping and the hikes, and it keeps us busy, but we do it as a family!

I started couponing about 8-9 years ago, right before I got pregnant with our littlest and I couponed all the way until shortly after giving birth to her. Since then, things in the coupon world have definitely changed but I've managed to adapt. I've taken a lot of time off and while I don't heavily coupon like I used to, I still find ways to save money. My goal is to get back into, but overtime.

I also try to find the best little side hustles to help us get some extra cash. (That isn't MLM related.) Nothing against MLM's, a few years ago I did Paparazzi Accessories and was semi successful with it, however then we moved, and I no longer had the space, so I let it go. Since then, my views on MLM's have changed, if you can make it work, amazing for you and I applaud you, however I just don't feel that it's for me anymore, unless I can find a product, I am absolutely thrilled with that also has an amazing business structure. Now, enough about that.

So overall, my goal here is to hopefully help you save some money (and time) by finding deals for you. And maybe even find a decent little side hustle for you to make some money from. I'll look for deals from Amazon, TEMU, and In-store deals from CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Dollar Tree, & Dollar General. I'll also try any side hustle I come across and try it out and review it, so you can see if it really worth it or not. Plus, any other tips and tricks to save you some cash, I'll throw in here also.

Now, let's find those deals!

me staring at my total at walgreens like i wasn’t the one to put all that shit in my basket

[incorrectzukka]

hey it's the anon who eats crocs I'm gonna be eating my crocs at walmart now because you made me feel too bad for the target workers and i don't have the heart to cause chaos they'll have to deal with. walmart, however, is already a hub of mayhem and i can strike fear into the mortal heart without consequence because walmart employees are also very chaotic i know from experience

i’m not american i don’t know what any of this means

[eva-knits12]

HI, nonnie,

This is what I've been saying for a while. Chris is in this, and he's in it deeper than we think. He did sign on the dotted line, and given the options that were available to him at the time, it was either sign and get the SMA and the Gene Kelly project, or be blacklisted. The first option looked good at the time.

He wanted to help someone who wasn't known, help her achieve IT girl status, and he would have more marketability. Captain America actor Chris Evans, 41, dates 26 year old-see the exclusive pics-sells more copy than See Chris Evans, 41, do his weekly grocery shopping. See Chris Evans, 41, walk with his dog Dodger, and play with Dodger at a local dog park, won't sell any copy-at all. But put AB in the middle of those headlines, it sells copy. Put a wedding or engagement story on the cover vs. a breakup article; a wedding or engagement story sells copy. There's a reason why People magazine put the" wedding" story on the cover, vs one page or blurb in that issue-it was to sell copy. The story was debunked by team PR, yet still sold copy. It's the same with the engagement rumor, the goal was to sell copy. Put Captain America Marries AB-see the exclusive pics (which there were none of) sells more copy than Captain America throws 10-year-old niece Her Dream Birthday Party.

He also wanted SMA and the Gene Kelly project, and even more work, and signing on the dotted line was the best option to keep the money flowing. Like everyone, Chris has bills to pay and has to put food on the table. So, this was a sure fire guaranteed way to keep the money flowing, and increase his marketability.

Unfortunately, this is backfiring. He's received nothing but undue hate and undue backlash. There's little left of his fandom, and the GP doesn't really give a crap about this girl. So what better way than to try to increase the love and get the GP to like him (and her) than to orchestrate a fake marriage that has violated immigration law and CA and MA marriage laws. There's a reason why fake marriage is illegal and there's a reason why immigration fraud is also illegal There's also a reason why marriage fraud is also illegal.

There's little holding this man together at this point. This pr stunt gone off the rails has drained him of any life that he has left, and being "tied" to a narcissist who's disgusting, vile, a Nazi sympathizer, racist, a white supremacist, fatphobic, bully doesn't help.

Chris still has a narrative that he needs to sell. This is the first rule of marketing and the first rule in PR-sell the product! The second rule of PR is to sell a narrative.

In the grocery store, or your local Target, Walmart, or any local big box, the products that they want you to buy is put in the center aisle, and also right at the entrance after you've gotten the cart or the hand basket-the store is hoping that you buy that product. If you buy Cover Girl's Lash Blast vs. Maybelline's Great Lash, which one are you more likely to buy? You're more likely to buy the Lash Blast because of where the store places it. Walgreens and CVS places the beauty department right at the entrance. Why? Because that main demographic is women. So, women are more likely to buy a new mascara, concealer, foundation, or any beauty product while they make a tampon run. There's also a reason why the gossip rags are placed directly in the checkout line rather than the news stand, those magazines are hoping that you buy it, even when you see the same exclusive article on each magazine that have been copied and pasted. Why? Because that main demographic is women, particularly housewives who are doing the weekly grocery shopping and need an escape from the mundane and daily routine of taking care of the kids, meal planning, and running errands.

So, who is Chris Evan's main demographic? It's women!

In other words, CE and AB-as much as I hate to put those initials on my blog-have a product to sell, and they are the products. Yes, those Cartier rings that were so ill fitting and worn wrong are still products that Cartier needs to sell. So, what better way to sell the product than to have her wear at the GQ MOTY Portugal awards, and a Cartier watch. Was that watch white gold or was it platinum? What better way to get Chris to sell Cartier's men's jewelry and watches than to have Chris wear an ill fitting wedding band and a Cartier watch. What better way to sell the designer duds, shoes, and jewelry than to place these two who have nothing to do with each other at the VF Oscars After Party? (That was supposed to be Scott's night!) They still had a narrative to sell us.

Yet, that didn't work for the other stars that deserved to be there. It was all about them, so what better way to get those likes and clicks and to sell copy than to cover them to death?

Chris is also the spokesperson and an investor in Jinx, so what better way for Jinx to sell product than to place Chris and Dodger on their packages, ads, and commercials. So, for all those getting pissed about Dodger being used in this PR stunt, think about it. The goal here is to sell product. Marketing and PR go hand in hand.

What better way to get more people to buy an Audi than to put a ringless Chris in their upcoming commercial. So, more people are likely to see that CE is indeed single (we knew that already), and to buy the Audi rather than a Lexus or a Mercedes. Why? Because Audi wants you to buy their car vs. a Mercedes. There's also a reason why Mercedes placed a Beemer in Knives Out. You buy the Audi, so now, Audi has achieved the goal of selling the product, and the salesman gets his commission.

Is this still PR at the end of the day? Yes, it's still PR. Yes, there is still a narrative to sell, and this will end.

Nobody was expecting the backlash and undue hate that he keeps receiving.

Is this ending? We see small glimpses here and there. Yes, they do still need to put on a show.

Chris is a kind, decent, gentle sweet man. If the opposite of this were true, we would have seen it come out years ago. Everyone that knows him says that he's a kind, sweet, decent, gentle man offscreen. Otherwise, 20 + years of a Hollywood career would go down the drain. His exes wouldn't be saying that Chris is a genuine, selfless, kind and decent man.

At the end of the day, there's only two people who know when this contract ends.

Random anon here, we’ll to those who are mad at Chris, let me ask you all, what should he have done?

It’s easy to say not gotten into This mess, duh, but he’s in it and deep in it.

It’s easy on the outside looking in to say just leave but umm like the marketing anon stated….it’s a business and one thing you don’t fuck with is people’s money especially those with more power and influence than you.

See I’m not making any excuses for Chris but I see people ragging on him but never stopping to realize we don’t have the full scope of this, huge missing pieces are left out and many are inserting their opinions and speculation as facts.

Be mad sure, but had Chris said no who’s to say this man wouldn’t have ended up blacklisted, lost everything he’s worked for etc. also he’s human and the pandemic scared at lot of people, even Scott stated Chris was worried about money during a podcast in 2020, Scott laughed but I never forgot that. Pr is easy money I’m sure. Things start out looking simple and then go left, again it’s easy to say well he would have said no, at least he’d had his integrity and morals, okay…..but if he ends up on a where are they now and homeless, severe drug addiction or mental issues due to losing everything then what.

My point is we don’t know shit and it’s easy to act like we do. Chris isn’t an idiot so I assume there’s more to this and he’s stuck because no way in hell things would be playing out the way they have nor would he be looking like a shell of his former self if he had power to end this or if this were real.

He’s human, be mad but don’t act like you haven’t ever fucked up in life either. I hate the high and mighty bullshit posts from people over shit you have no knowledge of.

Hollywood is a fucked up place and let me drop a bomb on you all, majority of the shit people sit online discussing is purposely created to keep people engaged from random headlines to bs from tv shows, news stories, movies, celeb drama, we’re all entangled in the web.

Example: Marketing is creating a story about two celebs fighting or dating and in reality the celebs never met but the rumor is now out there and they test to see the reactions.

Many feel Chris image is fake due to this mess but was it? I’m sure he would have revealed himself years before this mess if this was who he truly is.

Use your brains people, don’t fall for bullshit and don’t waste time fussing and cursing Chris everyday because you think this is some simple PR stunt he chose to do or that he’s actually with her.

Truth always come to light so don’t take anything personal and sit back and just watch until it all explodes. Lies can only last so long. 💅

An🫶n, you make an excellent point. And I wholeheartedly agree with you.

Chris may be a celebrity, but he's also a guy who needs to keep money flowing in order to live.

A big possibility, purely speculation, but the PR contract must have been tied to a lot of money. Money that post pandemic, he definitely needs. So, he's selling this, failing, but selling to get the check. And as shallow as that is, he definitely needs the money like any other grown up with bills.

So, let's cut Chris a little slack. And let's not wish him harm, because I heard from the grapevine that someone in the Fandom has wished him harm.

Not naming names. But that's fucked up, and you're no better than the people on the other side, whoever you are.

As for the fans that only want the best for Chris, let's ride the waves, hang in there, and continue to call 'em out! Or ignore certain tantrum-like antics. Whatever the occasion calls for 😌

hey kat it's sasha, you really like samurai jack a lot don't you :o no offense, but I liked the old version,

BLARHGH. Why did I reblog all this shit. I only reblog Maxie shit. Well whatever. Needed to consume a shitload of vodka due to my sis’ stating she plans to marry that psyhcopath she calls her fiancé (and it is a catch-22, if she is not with him, she will move back here EWWWW god so tired of getting yelled at for whatever she does, want a photo of the broken garage she crashed into that I got yelled at for? BECAUSE I FUCKING HAVE IT http://imgur.com/a/E0IFL  THIS IS WHAT I FUCKING HAVE TO DEAL WITH, MAN), she also plans to bring him over one of these days. Ew. God. He is like a barking rabid dog. Ewwww. I hate him. Having a sibling fucking sucks, especially if they are the favorite one and are just fucking stupid. Additionally, I usually hide my phone from myself so that I will not drunk text or drunk post while intoxicated, but my parents get pissy if I do not respond back asking if I went about my responsibilities. Oh… ew EW I ate… vegetables with cheese. That explains why my internal organs kind of hurt, at least my medication eliminates the pain. I like cheese, but it hurts me.I just grew so bored last night just sitting on the couch all day. Augh. At least my legs/ankles are healing. Finally.Thought playing pokemon would cheer me up, but I was sad that I was completing it. I hate endings. Euarghksjfkd. Thinking of starting commissions to buy Pokemon Black/white/sun or moon, but my drawing skills suck.EAURHGHH, and I have to step out today to attempt picking up my meds. Again. (Failed last time because AUUUUUGH.) FUUUUUCK. AUGHH ADULTING. AUUUUUUGH. fuuuuck.I am going to wait a few hours because fuck the early morning hours, it is always HUMID OUTSIDE and it burns my skin. My skin is highly intolerant towards water and the sun, oH OH YET I CAN CONSUME FUCKING GOD DAMN RAT POISON AND CYANIDE LIKE NOTHING. How fucked up is that? Aurghhhh.Adulting. Fuck my ass. Auguhskjfksjf.Pretend I have a proper Maxie response image for all this. Just going to lay flat on my face upon all my garbage… which I should really pick up.Also you should create a tumblr account… or something. Actually, I do not care. I am just fucked up right now due to barely waking up. Aughsljflskjf adulting. auuuugh. Going to chug down some coffee. auughh.

So 1) we were in a plaza with Walmart, then we go from there all the way to Walgreens wheich is kinda far then she says let’s go to Walmart and she drives all the way back

2)in Walmart I ask my mom what’s for dinner and she said idk and then I asked her again and proceeded to say how I’ve had yogurt and only the potatoes off of what I made (yk as a cry for “her I’m not eating again”) and she proceeds to make it a competition of how little she has eaten and then she buys herself a pizza to make herself tonight knowing I hate pizza

She’s literally letting me not eat and it’s getting to the point where I might just completely take advantage of it more than I already have

I can’t do this omg

[tartts]

yO the same thing happened to me re: toilet paper. i had to wait like 4 days before the store had any and it took over an hour to check out. i hate everything!

So I live pretty much on the edge of a city so there’s like quite a few places to get toilet paper but our go-to closest store has been out. We’ve went shopping in the afternoon like two times and they’ve never had any. Boyfriend went one morning right as they opened after he dropped me off for work and they still didn’t have any. We’ve checked Walgreens and CVS near us with no luck. We’ve woken up early and checked Walmart right as they opened TWICE (today being the second time) and they’ve not had any. It’s been fucking crazy. Like we weren’t on our last roll yet but we had like 4 rolls left and with my luck I was getting really anxious about it (especially because I have no family down here I could borrow from) so it’s been a couple weeks now of us checking and never finding any. We shopped again for other stuff and by then Target had just opened so we checked Target because it was on the way back home and finally found some....... but then re: “one guest” confusion. But I’m relieved that I have plenty now and won’t need to keep frantically checking. And hopefully by the time we get low again all this craziness will be over. I hate everything too

Target, Jewel Osco, Costco, Whole Foods, Walmart (never been to Walmart), ig Sam’s Club (never been there so no idea on its status as a supermarket)

Costco- 9.5/10. Had food samples when it was still safe(r) to take them. Has food and furniture and supplies and clothes. Huge, makes you feel like you’re in the belly of a beast.

Target- 8/10. Has food and clothing, smaller space. Lots of TMNT merch. I like it

Whole Foods- 8/10. Almost entirely food. There’s a lady at the bakery counter at the Whole Foods in my town that gives people free cookies.

Jewel Osco- 5/10. Like a glorified Walgreens.

Walmart- 2/10. Never been there. Parents hate it but heard funny things from friends.

Sam’s Club- 0/10. Never been there. Barely hear of it. Teacher brought in a cake from there once and it tasted weird.

This has been: Robbie’s Comprehensive Guide to 6 American Supermarkets
