I accidentally ingested garlic, which I can't properly digest (too many fructans). My poor stomach has been making some very odd noises for several hours now.

I remember many years ago, taking Sue out for supper are then a show; I think it was Les Miserables. We'd gone to one of her favourite places then, Red Lobster and she'd had some of their biscuits which I can't recall if she'd requested them to be garlic free or had just forgotten they had garlic.

Suffice it to say we didn't make it the whole way through the show; her digestive system reacted rather poorly to the garlic

I was looking up adult bibs on Amazon (because the amount of spillage is getting ridiculous) and I think every single one of them were advertised 'for elderly.' I ... am not elderly.

It reminds me a bit of those 'as made on TV' products that are obviously disability aids but since they're too afraid to show a disabled person in an advertisement they instead have some random abled throwing food all over the place or getting into an intense wrestling match with a blanket.

I choose this one because I can push it, so my posture while walking is better than having the arm twisted behind me to pull it, and the swiveling wells are great, I find that the heavier it is the easiest it is to push, and I find it easier to make the transition from the road to the sidewalk pushing then pulling.

Two additional things I like about it , the wells are soft rubber so they make less noise then the ones that are hard plastic, and it folds nicely so it can be stored easily and I can take it inside the store hanging on my shopping cart.

They are not cheap but they are totally worth the money, in my opinion.

This looks like the bags they sell at Whole Foods for $36. I see a lot of people with them, but I I've only seen them pull them.

I could push my metal shopping cart that I use to take laundry in, but it's very slow and the sidewalks here are very uneven and bumpy. I find it easier to pull. I had a few accidents where even the empty cart fell behind me.

The real URL is even shorter:

There are many models of that kind of shopping cart, they are popular in Europe, here pretty much every supermarket has a cheap version on sale for under 20 euros, but they can’t compare to the rolser one, they only have 2 hells, so can only be pulled and only go strait, as opposed to the one I showed that can turn in every direction and is very easy to maneuver.
