  • I completely understand.

    I spent a semester of college working at Home Depot. It was a terrible experience and awful in so many different ways that I consider it my second worst job experience, only slightly behind the holier than thou “Christian business” that didn’t pay its employees and actively committed fraud against employees, clients, and the government. 25+ years later, I still don’t like to shop at Home Depot, it was so bad.












  • Did anyone else get in school suspension?

    Yes, though my memory of it is kind of limited all these years later.

    It was a case of collective punishment. At least that third and final time the bus was late, it was because a number of the kids on the same route took too long to get on the bus and get settled, which caused us to be late. Some kids would wait to leave their house until they saw the bus or heard the horn beep. So, I guess they decided to punish everyone, for reasons.

    I don’t even think it was literally everybody that rode the bus, because some of the kids’ parents would/could drop them off at school any time the bus was late or not running. But that wasn’t an option for me.

    Tastes just the same.

    It loses some of its crispness, so you wouldn’t necessarily substitute frozen / thawed celery in a recipe that calls for raw / uncooked celery. Though, I have used the thawed stuff for things like potato salad and chicken salad before, which are things that typically use raw celery, and it still added enough texture and crunch to make it worthwhile.

    But for things that involve cooking celery, like in soups, stir fries, and things along those lines, frozen works just fine for me. I don’t find any difference in taste or texture in the finished product, assuming that the frozen celery didn’t get freezer burned or go through multiple freeze/thaw cycles.

    Most grocery stores in my part of the world sell frozen celery or at least frozen veggie mixes that include celery, so I’d say it’s a fairly common practice.
