g1immer's Pet Peeves in No Particular Order
Number 1 - Setting Your Child Down Where You SHOULDN'T


Sorry, not sorry lady - you are today's featured topic. Well, I guess I should say you and your child. Today I'm starting off my series by saying I have a million and one pet peeves I'm just itching to complain about! I took the above picture yesterday while waiting for my donuts to be made at a place called Duck Donuts. I was really lucky because after I ordered my dozen cake donuts (no there were no crazy toppings - see my post on foods I hate at iHob), like four different customers arrived in line after me. There were only two ladies working behind the counter, so one at the cash register and one topping the bakery goods. Glad my timing was perfect!

My timing was also perfect to take a screenshot of this lady propping her toddler up on the counter where, as you can see if you look close enough, the employees set the donuts down for people to pick them up. Talk about YUCK. Sure, the donuts are boxed, but that is still the same counter where a baby's butt has been. You can also see in the photo that there is a perfectly well-constructed bench where the lady and her child could take a seat at. I'm not a fan of kids, so maybe a little bit of my bias is seeping through in this post, but I don't find it at all sanitary to place your child on the counter of a place where food is consumed and made.

This is not the first time I've seen this either. Sure, it isn't a super common occurance, but parents will put their kid anywhere as long as its "safe." I am not a parent and don't plan on being one soon, but I do know that I wouldn't set my kid down on a surface that is not intended for their, or my own, butt. I've seen parents plop down their youngsters on counters at Starbucks, game stores, Nordstrom's and other retail stores. To me, a retail store is just as bad as a place where food is served, but seriously, this lady deserved to have a picture of her taken for the world to see. Don't put your kid on a counter where people need to pick something up from. Find somewhere else to sit. Just don't do it.

Love,
glimmer

glimmer's Super Duper Analysis on "Is it Worth it?" Collection series Part 1: Crash Crate - Box Today we will be discussing the Crash Bandicoot Loot Box from numskull and Activision, known as the "Crash Crate". In articular, we are looking at the box itself. After all, all the goodies had to come in something fun and Crash Bandicoot-related, right? As you can see from the above image, the crate fits all of the items inside perfectly. When first opened, the mug was wrapped in bubble wrap. The piece of thick paper with a jungle image was combined with the Crash bottle opener, wrapped in a thin layer of plastic. Besides the missing plastic and bubble wrap, the above image does a good job of showing you all what it looked like when first opening the box. Now, let's talk about the design (my favorite part of the discussion). I pulled the above image off the fan-made Crash Bandicoot Wiki,  Bandipedia . God, you gotta love the names of these wikipe...

Today's Discussion is on Therapists I had my first ever therapist visit. Let's go over it together! Looking for a therapist is as stressful as applying for a job. I had to call my insurance, double check my plan, search on different websites, read their bios, check their location to make sure it isn't too far away from work or home, call them, get an appointment, figure out my co-pay, figure out my deductibles, fill out their forms, print out their forms and...ugh! But, I did it! Here we are. Luckily my insurance pulled a rabbit out of their hat and I only had a co-pay of $5.00. That's much cheaper than my sister or dad's therapists. As I have said before, my sisters and dad see a therapist. This was my first ever visit to a therapist, so I was quite nervous. Throughout the week I kept plotting in my head what could go horribly wrong. Would I just abruptly leave? What if the chair was not comfy? What if I started crying? Luckily none of those questions en...

g1immer's 3-Day Video Game Review! Shenmue 1 Re-Release Hi everyone! If you follow me on twitch, you may be aware that I picked up a physical copy of Shenmue 1+2 for the Playstation 4 on its release date (this Tuesday, 8/21/18). I will go over my experience with the game, pros and cons, memories it brings up, etc! I hope this won't be too scatter-brained, but let's dive right in! First off, this was a re-release, NOT a re-master or a re-make. The difference, to put it simply, is that a re-master has increased graphics and that is it. A re-make would be everything looks way more shiny and new. A re-release is basically just the game and all its bugs and quirks, slapped on the new system. Graphics may still look like they are from the 2000's, but that era always gives me the heart flutters (you are talking to a girl who loved her Nintendo GameCube so go figure)! The box came with a poster with the cover art and the image on the back of it, with some girl an...
