The northeast has Sam's Clubs, actually, but they aren't exactly common. In fact, I used to live literally 5 minutes by car away from a Sam's Club. We did a lot of shopping there.

We only have like 1 Sam's Club in Delaware and that's down in Dover. My mom loves Sam's. We mostly have BJ's when it comes to wholesale stores.

Having written the last exam and later relaxing with ice cream is what I really like at the moment. And being here after having studied over the weekend.

No no no no no. Trader Joe's is NOT a bulk food store, nor is it all organic (though most of their products are natural, kosher, OR organic in content). It is simply the BEST gourmet food store ever invented. And it's everywhere, just about...

http://www.traderjoes.com/index.asp

I don't usually plug stores...but this one is worth it. Their prices are quite a bit below what other gourmet/natural foods places go for, and the ones here are usually below regular grocery-store prices, too. They have an amazing sweets section, great cheap wine, fantastic frozen foods...etc. Honestly, you could tell me I couldn't shop anywhere else again for food and I'd be fine with that!

Speculoos are Dutch spice cookies. Cookie butter is ground up cookies, with the consistency of peanut butter. And when robed in chocolate...maaaan.

End plug. I simply cannot stand misinformation, especially about something I adore!

You know what I've recently realized? There's an interesting balance that goes on within my own circle of friends as far as social skills are concerned... for example, I have some friends who have grown catarpillars that will hardly talk into quite the social butterflies, but then conversely, I actually also have some friends who turned out quite the reverse, and were a lot more talkative and socialable in the beginning than they are now.

I can see how the first can occur, considering improving one's social skills is something of a natural growth, but I wonder what makes some people actually experience just the opposite.

Some people might think that their talkative, younger days were indicative of being less mature. I've known someone who said they talked a lot during their high school days because they just felt the need to fill up the spaces, but learned in social interactions in college that there was value to silence and not always speaking up. I think people's social skills can mature in different ways.

That's a bit of an eye-opener, actually.

Bowling a strike. The sound of the ball rolling down the alley and hitting all ten pins is like sonic crack to me. That would be the ultimate ringtone.
