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

Today's Discussion is on...My Favorite and Least Favorite Pokemon! Part 1 - Favorite Pokemon As a disclosure, my "least favorite" Pokemon, that I may totally bash on for their looks, use, moveset, etc. are just because of my history with that Pokemon. If your favorite makes the list - I'm sorry! This is just an opinion of mine. I also, personally believe that, as there are some flawed designs for Pokemon out there, no one generation should be looked at in a bad light. As a creator myself, I understand that coming with brand new ideas isn't always easy and some ideas may be generally loved (example: Mimikyu) and some may be generally hated (example: Garbador). As the saying goes - "you win some, you lose some.' Here we go! Let's start with the positives! Be sure to check out my twitter page for a bigger look at the image above. If you are interested in taking the quiz yourself, I will link it in this text right here! First off, the two ...

Today's Discussion is on..National Something Or Other Day! Part 1 - National Toasted Marshmallow Day So, I have a calendar in my room that my ex's mother gave to me for a birthday or Christmas and it tells me what the National day is today! I absolutely love it, even though it does bring up some mixed feelings to type about it right now to the public...Anyways! I will probably post many days for us to discuss. This day in particular made me think of my old days in Girl Scouts, camping and of course, the main topic, roasted outdoor treats. I went from loving S'mores, to disliking them, to loving them again, then to eating only the roasted marshmallow out of them. What do I prefer today? I'm not really sure! It has probably been a good 5+ years since I had a S'more. I will tell you all the stories of my past and the times I remember those sugary good nights. A long time ago, your girl glimmer was in Girl Scouts. Honestly, I was a pretty good follower and...

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...
