Stopped shopping here about a year ago. Had to go to hyvee last night bc my first choice closed at 5.
Produce - had to throw away 3/4 of my strawberries bc there was a mold clump in the middle. Wasn’t visible when I looked at them. Cut open an organic nectarine and it was bad.
Deli - I asked the Deli person to cut fresh turkey bc I like it shaved rather than thicker slices. I also don’t know how long that pre sliced shit has been in the cooler. It has also been open and closed all day long. When I asked, the deli person gave me a horrible look, audibly sighed, and tells me they’re trying to clean up (even though they were open for another 2 hours). So I caved and got the pre sliced meat that had been in the cooler for who knows how long. Got home and attempted to make a turkey sandwich. The meat was slimy and didn’t smell fresh. Threw it out.
Meat Counter - got 1 marinaded chicken breast. Since the turkey sandwich didn’t work out, decided to cook this. Again, awful. The actual meat was tough and flavorless inside. Yet somehow, the outside where the marinade was, tasted sour. Not sure how garlic butter can taste sour, but it did.
Prices - I don’t think I even need to go into that. Ridiculous. The only true sales were all junk food. A box of cheez-it are $2 but 1 organic apple is $3.

I had to throw out $20 in food that was moldy and/or past its prime. Fuck off HyVee and I hope you keep upping your prices while lowering your quality and fucking close! This is NOT the HyVee I grew up with. Even the employees seem miserable and there actually used to be a smile in every aisle. As an adult, I’ve waited on HyVee founders and CEO’s…HyVee is not hurting for money. Pure greed. I see this corporate greed everywhere and I guess I was naive to think HyVee would stay true to the community.

I saw that the company got bought out and is closing. Ulta has been out for a while and Sephora doesn’t carry that brand. I’ve seen some for sale on eBay but I’m not willing to take the chance that it isn’t the real product or is expired. I liked this product bc my skin is on the sensitive side and it didn’t irritate or dry out my skin too much. I’ve seen others that are similar but have hyaluronic (sp?) acid as a main ingredient and that irritates my skin. Does anyone have suggestions for a similar peel pad or toner? Thank you in advance!

I decided to rewatch with the Diana Jenkins being a madam thing in the media again. I entertained the rumor in first watch, but second watch, I’m pretty convinced. She is the producer of the book, which is not a common thing. She wasn’t the photographer, copy writer, or publisher. I didn’t pick up on that first time around. IMO, it’s absolutely a sex work catalog disguised by some legit photos of celebrities. I also thought it was strange Diana said the book only had 1 pressing, limited copies, and it will not go to press again. That’s very strange. If Diana were some type of literary icon, I could see doing a limited release, but why wouldn’t this book be reprinted if it’s just celebrity photos? Bc Diana is so litigious, I don’t believe we’ll really ever know the truth.
Also, things Diana said didn’t match up. At one point she said she went to London at 19 and she struggled for 10 years working low wage jobs. She had her first kid at 25/26, so she had to have known the billionaire ex for at least 9 months before that. So that would mean she was on her own for 5-6 years, not 10.
And, any searches I’ve done say that she met her ex husband at a gym. I don’t know many hotel housekeepers (a job she said she had) who go to the same gyms as billionaires. It’s fishy. I make an ok living and I can’t afford membership at any of the top tier gyms in my area.
My conclusion, and it’s just my opinion, but here goes….I think Diana may have been a victim of sex trafficking herself. Considering it was the early 90’s, communism was falling, Eastern European countries were in economic turmoil, and of course predators took advantage of the situation and vulnerable women. I think Diana is very smart and manipulative. I could absolutely see her learning the ropes of sex trafficking from being a victim and used that to become a madam/trafficker herself. I absolutely think she had something on her ex to be able to have such a lucrative and “amicable” divorce. Now I’m convinced what she had on him was that this guy was involved (at the least) with hiring sex workers or (at the worst) he was actually involved in trafficking women out of Eastern Europe and former USSR in the early 90’s.
Sorry this was long winded. Just curious if anyone else has same opinions? I’d love to know everyone else’s take on it.
***Just want to make it clear this is 100% speculation and an opinion. I’m not claiming this theory to be fact.
