This is more of a rant, but maybe some of you can relate. I've gotten a few items with very poor quality stitching lately, and was wondering if anyone else has, too. The blue item has a hole in the seam on the side, which I noticed a full one hour into the very first wear (greeeaat). The green item is a t-shirt that weirdly has fabric from the torso sewn into the sleeve seam, so that the whole shirt sits oddly lopsided on the body.

Torrid's quality in general has gone down, but it also looks like their quality control for the basic act of SEWING THE DANG CLOTHES TOGETHER is gone too. It's really disappointing, and it just feels like I'm throwing money out the window.

Anyway, rant over.

Who has the best Sauvignon Blanc in the area? I have family visiting from out of state who want to pick up a bottle as a gift to bring home.

I'm more of a red drinker, so I'm not sure which wineries would have a good sauv.

Bought my boyfriend birthday tickets to the Chargers/Pats game, which falls on Halloween. This may be a silly question, but is anyone dressing up in Halloween costumes, even if low-key?

I've got a Gandalf wig/beard, wizard hat, and football jersey that I want to use to dress up as "fantasy football."

Just got a full refund for a wrong item, and now I'm feeling guilty that a local business may be out the money, which I didn't think about before I reported the wrong item. Do restaurants who screw up an order lose the money from the order, or does DoorDash eat the cost?

It wasn't a grievous mistake--we ordered a calzone and got a pizza instead, but the toppings were correct at least. It's a local business we've ordered from before with no problems, and I'm hoping they aren't dinged for it. (Still gave the driver 5 stars because obviously it wasn't his fault.)

Add me to the list of people led to a place in their neighborhood they've never been to before. This attractor took me to a nearby park that I never paid attention to. The exact point was a haven for geese and two kind of ducks under this absolute unit of a palm tree:

Aforementioned unit:

This tree is so old that its branches have matted together to form a light- and water-proof canvas.

Along the way to our bird friends, I saw this sign. It looks like "Do Liver" to me, so maybe the universe is making a foie gras joke.
