Anyone with a Costco card?

Hello,

I am a college kid who does not possess a car or a Costco card. I really really love their pesto and am wondering if there are any adults in the main city area who make trips there who would be open to picking up a jar for me sporadically and I will pay you both the cost of the jar and whatever you feel is reasonable for the favor and your time. I can pick it up from you as well.

Thank you

the past is eating me alive and I can’t run from it

Essentially the summer I was 12 I met these guys at a party I shouldn’t have been at who offered me a job and 33% of their profits being the middle man in drug sales in my state. They knew these Mexicans who would supply us the stuff and then we would sell to the plugs in the state. I largely did sales and finding and getting the plugs to want to work with us out of all suppliers.
Yes I know that’s very young. I lied to them about my age. They were 16-17.

It would be an oversight to neglect mentioning I learned a lot from the whole thing that I am grateful for and has helped me immensely to this day. Primarily the skill of communication. I am now excellent and gifted at talking to all ages and all sorts of people and extracting from them what I want. As well as getting them to trust and feel connected with me. I can turn charisma off and on. I have about 6 streams of income now, none of which are drug related but also none of which would be remotely possible to be successful in without having had that experience. Additionally I am extremely calm. I dont get worked up ever at all. In high pressure or dangerous situations I stay completely calm. It is a little odd and feels unnatural because i know fear has a purpose biologically but has helped me at times. I am also cold as a person. I love animals and stuff but I have a cold heart. I dont get attached to guys and I don’t really feel emotions for people to an abnormal level for a 20 year old girl. Uncomfortable to say this but I’ve noticed I don’t really care for or about anyone other than my family. I have a ton of friends and enjoy them but that’s the way I feel.

I was in that operation for about 6 years until I walked away. It was amazing money for a kid, enough for an adult to live on. Not only that but surprisingly excellent connections and networking.
I also got free drugs that whole time. Psychedelics, weed, stimulants. Whatever I wanted.

Sometimes we would front the dealers and they would pay us back. Sometimes they wouldn’t pay us back. The guys I did this with were kind of strange and acted like what we were doing was some type of action movie. There was this abandoned silo we kept the stuff at. When certain plugs fucked us over and didn’t pay they would bring them to the location and inflict pain on them until they agreed to pay. I would stand there and watch. This happened over 10 times. I didn’t feel anything at the time watching. Just nothing.

Recently though I’ve been having nightmares of being back there and watching. Waking up with my bed soaked and forgetting where I am. No matter what country I’m in or whether or not I’m sober it’s happening a couple times a week now. I feel nauseous in the dreams when i am back there watching. But I never do anything different I just stand there while it happens.

I dont know why it’s only starting to happen now. I feel like I’ve come a long long way from that life and it scares me. Feels you can run as far as you want but you can never really get away from your past. I feel like a psychopath for having witnessed those things and just feeling nothing as though it’s watching a sunset. I feel like a really really messed up person. Im 20 now and it’s really consuming me. I can’t tell anyone in my life any of this and I wouldn’t even know the point of it honestly

Hi everyone and happy summer!

I’m currently working on a research project regarding the value equity of our campus dining options. This is a multi year performance audit of Twisted Taco since its arrival in the SAC 4 years ago.

Would love to collect data and insight from everyone who has ever held a meal plan since fall ‘22. I am curious if this vendor holds the standard we were originally promised.

If you have or had a meal plan, please take 60 seconds to fill this out. Would be super cool of you.

Also, feel free to send to your friends, roommates, acquaintances, or any recent alumni you know who may have an opinion on this.

Have a short section at the end specifically for those with more than 1 semester of meal plan usage and alumni who remember it back in ‘22. Interested in if the quality has dropped off.

Thank you all for your time.
