I didn't walk into a Publix for most of  that time.  One day, while I had an order pending mind you, they simply shut down the service with "sorry, it wasn't profitable". 
Maybe they didn't realize I (and most others I know) would have paid triple the service fee..
Yep.  That was a very, very sad day for me..
.
Btw, my dad did our grocery shopping for most of our lives and to this day has no problem going to the grocery store for me if I need a favor..

I can only speak for myself, but I jettisoned the suit goon job and got one where I wash my work clothes once a year whether they are dirty or not.

Problem?  I dont see a problem.

Status: offline 		I've gone shopping for my mom numerous times, because she's busy enough as it is.  She's already raising her nephew, so it's the least I can do to help out.  Personally, I don't understand why anyone would have a problem shopping.  You bring a list, buy what's on the list, use any coupons you might have, and if one or more items aren't there, find a suitable replacement for the time being.

As for buying feminine products, it's obvious I'm not buying them for myself (no, I'm not into tampon training).  Most of the time, any women who happen to be in that aisle at the time seem to find it humerous, though. *shrugs*  Whatever floats their boat.

I use the Ganges method to wash my clothes, you know the river in India.
I get some hot water, put the clothes and some Bio powder in a plastic bucket.
When I can remember I grab the old fashiioned, we say dollys. a copper thingy with holes in on the end of a wooden pole. Give the clothes 50 / 60 hard presses with the copper thingy and bingo after about a week , nice clean undies or shirt.

Never fails !

Yeah, but...YOU are a most unusual man, Einz.  Young, bright, assertive AND submissive.    I suspect what I was talking about has more to do with the old farts who grew up when I did.  LOL   They'd just refuse!  <shakes head>

There is a reason I am no longer married.

Submissives are capable of purchasing their own feminine products in a way that spouses are not.

Sinergy

p.s.  I am joking around, really.  I am not shy about buying Kotex and Tampons and whatever.  Stuff is stuff.

Obviously, you've never asked one to go to the store and buy a large cucumber and a jar of Vaseline

i don't have any shyness/awkwardness problem with feminine products, but i'll admit that they're a foreign world to me... i happened to see "Security" tampons in the store one day, and my mind immediately went to chastity devices It'd be like asking an Amish to buy you a new gaming PC.

I once went to a "Come As Your Favorite Sexual Fetish" party back in High School.

My best buddy wore a diaper, had a cucumber, and a bottle of Wesson oil.

Not sure he ever told his wife, though.

p.s.  Dont even ask, he and I have been engaged in a "How to Out-Weird the other" contest since Kindergarten.

*smiles*  Thank you, Bearlee, but I'm not sure youth is such a strong point anymore, lol.  If anything, it seems to be holding me back, much as it did when I got my second job.  I can still remember the conversation in the service office like it happened five minutes ago... *blurry wavy transition to black and white here*

Manager: "Ok, if you'll hand the technician (me) the keys, he'll take your car inside and he'll pull it around front for you as soon as he's done."

Customer: "Are...you sure?"

Me: "Sure, it's no problem, it'll only take me about 10 minutes."

He hesitantly handed me the keys to his Z8 Roadster (and for good reason; he just handed a 16 year old male the keys to a $120,000 supercar), and as I walked out of the office, I heard him whisper, in a concerned voice to the service manager, "...I've got socks older than that boy!" *laughs*

But when he allows me around his dock clothes they end up "clean" (whatever that means when we are dealing with clothes so greasy that they could technically be given over to oil recycling).

As far as shopping...

.. the last time I went shopping with Daddy was on Mother's Day. I went to pick out a card for my own mom, and I was reading them with a lady that was searching high and low for her own mom... I walked off with the wrong cart with this lady's purse in it... Daddy commented how he cannot take me anywhere. So I have been avoiding this thread, seeing as I have proven how clueless I can be the last time we went grocery shopping together.
