*rolling eyes* I think the internet has turned us into a bunch of whiny, self important people. There are so many people in the world it's impossible to please everyone.

Target isn't the only place to carry this. I saw one at Cracker Barrel.

People are too sensitive and everyone else just lets them be. I'm so tired of it.

I just want to say "Yeah yeah it's serious. I get it your nuts, sorry about your luck."
