Related: About this forumBuying rice in bulk
I'm posting this here because I put jasmine rice on my grocery list, by accident my friend brought me a 50 pound bag of rice instead of the 5 pound bag I wanted.
I will be leaving the unused rice to her in my will.

Donate it to food bank and start over.

Two old friends both over 65 should not keep acting as if we were in our 40s

I remember when this story first circulated - it was the wholesome content that made Twitter worthwhile, pre-Musk's takeover.
