    Smiles. I miss people’s smiles.

    Either their face is masked, or if not masked, they are so preoccupied they no longer smile.

    Same. I was just thinking about this today!

    Same place the sugar free lemon pudding is going. I haven’t been able to find it in stores for months. Finally had to order a case from a health food store of all places.

    Ditto cake mixes. They’re hard to find and sometimes I just like to have a yogurt cupcake.

    I can't find Diet Sprite in the store anymore. Who is buying up all the Diet Sprite???

    And why...?

    Shortage of cans. They are concentrating on packaging best sellers.

    Just now Googled it and you are correct! I would never have thought it, but then I buy more Diet Sprite than any other sodas. Amusingly, this has pushed me to buy Diet Ginger Ale for my lemon-lime fix and therefore Diet Pepsi for my cola fix. I prefer Diet Coke, but sodas are always on sale at Kroger and you have to buy 3-4 packs from the same distributor to get the sale price, so I have not bought any Coke products in months.

    ETA: And Canada Dry is owned by Dr. Pepper, so I'm not sure why it gets lumped in with Pepsi products in the sales.

    I miss the vibe of crowded, chattering yoga classes that suddenly get down to business, still with vibe.

    I don't think your reason is petty at all! No one wants to lose muscle mass. My petty reason is that there is nothing new to talk about, LOL. It wasn't too bad in the Spring when I started a home vegetable garden, and it was fun to plant and watch things grow. Now the last of the harvest is coming to bear, and there is a tinge of Autumn in the air. I think Fall and Winter are going to be MUCH harder to get through. I am definitely going to have to get a new hobby!

    Can i just say that i love this thread? A bit of a lighthearted acknowledgement of the irritations that, in the big picture are not that huge, but on the daily just kinda drive us nutso. lol

    My husband and I are travelers. Like - we move to a new country every few years and live from there. Spending 6 months in my home country makes me get the 'travel itch' . Now we can't travel, and we can't really even plan our next destination so life feels on hold. The upside is we've taken this 'down time' to get serious about our health. My husband gifted me a llama pinata full of gold coins last week on our anniversary. For each week we follow our fitness/diet plan, we earn coins, and when we collect them all, we get to plan our trip to Machu Pichu/South America. (hoping by then travel plans will be feasible)

    Y'all sound like some very cool people 😎 and what husband buys a llama pinata and then fills it with gold coins!?! I really hope your plans work out! In the meantime...enjoy getting healthy so you can better navigate Machu Pichu!
