Jag, you have no idea how much I LOVE Walgreens that store is the best. It's like the only place I can go and get "personal" items super late at night and no one gives me sh*t. Mainly because damn near everyone there is buying lube or condoms and refusing to make eye contact with each other. Mind you I don't go in there for that, I just like the atmosphere.
Piano, my addiction is actually Diet Dr. Pepper too! I was just being general. That stuff is like crack to me.
tofu, I know exactly what you're talking about and I feel the same way! The people that work there are SO unfazed by everything. Once you go in Walgreens after midnight, all your defenses are down. No point in being embarrassed about whatever you're getting, because there's always someone buying something worse!
ETA: that Lays Potato Chip commercial with the little redheaded girl and the song that goes "always be true..." INFURIATES me. I don't know what it is, but I feel murderous whenever it comes on. It's so schmaltzy and twee. UGH. Sorry, rant over, it just came on TV and I had to gripe.

I've always been a CVS person.
congrats JAG! You just had the 1000th post in this thread!
and I'm glad I'm not the only one addicted to Diet Dr. Pepper! I swear, I feel so weird but its SO amazing!
I did? Too bad it wasn't even a good one!
Maisie, my best guy friend worked in CVS for a few years and remains completely loyal to them. We got in actual shouting arguments when we were shacking up together over where to go for necessities...CVS does the job, but I just love Walgreens so much.
I think its because we had CVS here first...so I just got used to them
yeah, I like CVS too. I love the doors! Plus, I also think its a psychological thing for me. We have RiteAid and CVS and sometimes a Wallgreens, and RiteAid is blue whereas CVS is red, and red is my favorite color and so I dunno, I tend to gravitate towards red things lol

I frequent CVS as well. I've got one of those little discount key chain cards so I use that a lot. Rite Aide used to be my "place" but they went out of business.
Jag, have you seen that commercial for that kids' allergy medicine where that little boy is wearing some sort of sandwich board and he says: "...and grape tastes AWESOME!!!" I CANNOT stand that child!!! I want to punch him in the temple when I see him...so annoying. Maybe kids just piss me off anyway.
Oh and with regards to people's defense being down after 12 at Walgreens I could swear I saw a guy in there buying things that I could only describe as an introductory abduction kit. I spotted some soda, duct tape, condoms and what I thought was a sleep aid but I could be wrong. Either way that guy looked like a freak so I paid for my crap and left. Thank god I was parked directly under a light in the parking lot.
tofu, I hate that boy too! I already know kids piss me off (I mean, one of my jobs is working with them. SO OVER CHILDREN). I have very strict standards for when I'm ready to have them. They need to be boys. If I have a girl, I will put her in a basket and ship her away Moses-style. I LOATHE little girls. I loathed them when I WAS one. They need to be a certain amount of years apart, so I don't have more than one screaming toddler at a time. You know how in Sex and the City, when Miranda says "I only like my kid, I don't like anyone else's"? Yeah. I probably shouldn't be having them anyway based on my complete lack of maternal instinct, but I'm selfish and want to see if they look like me, and dress them up in little outfits.
Also, that Walgreens story is fantastic. If he had a hanger, you'd know for sure.

you know what other place is interesting to go to at, lets say, 2 am, is Walmart! We went last year after our afterprom and this was around 2 am and it was crowded! People were shopping for groceries and everything with their LITTLE KIDS! AT 2 AM! It was so bizarre!

LMFAO!!! Jag, leave it to you to make a biblical reference with regards to loathing children. I'd probably do the same thing except ship her to Abu Dhabi like Nermal on Garfield. Does anyone remember that? Just me? Ok. If I ever did have kids they'd have to be boys and *fingers crossed* for triplets. Cuz I'm not going through 3 separate pregnancies. It's gonna be pop,pop,pop and I'm done for life!!!
Piano, Walmart is the reason for the saying: "The freaks come out at night". That place after 1 am is so strange!!! I'm always afraid that I'll go down the wrong aisle in a part of the store that doesn't have too many customers around and I'll wind up with my throat slashed and no one will even hear me scream. They won't find my body until they do their morning clean up.
I have the craziest thoughts known to MAN!!!!
Hey, I went to Catholic school, biblical references are a given. I completely remember your Garfield reference though!
Walmart is indeed a circus at night...we actually don't have any near me though (the locals threw a huge fit when they tried to put one in), so I haven't been there really late in a LONG time.
We just had some major drama up in here involving a moth and my dog flipping his sh*t. The poor insect is traumatized and hiding behind a picture frame! Awww. I need to go to bed, badly, but I just found 'Scarface' on Encore, and I can't pass up Al Pacino overacting.
Geez you girls have been busy all night! I have two comments.
1. Whoever posted a picture of Zooey (I forget who did), I love you.
2. Walmart after 1am is a freakshow, but it's entertaining if you're drunk. I'm so classy.
God you miss alot on this thread if you pass out at 10:00....
That's what I was going to say, danmag!
What went on here last night?! lol..I missed a lot. I love when we go on a cute guy pic roll!
It was those crazy youngsters, Clever. Up till all hours.....
Oh damnag, you and your rhinestone reading glasses are so witty.
I'm wearing my curlers, too....
is there a bathrobe and grandma slippers in the mix?
You know it, honey!!! I'm also watching Lawrence Welk reruns on TV.
You should be watching Will and Grace reruns on Lifetime instead. But of course that would throw off the image you're going for.
