Why is it so impossible to find popsicle sticks for sale?

Everywhere I go, they just say "try a craft store/try a dollar store", but those places only sell craft sticks, which are generally not food-safe and are in no way guaranteed not to be dirty, splintery, and/or treated with chemicals that do not belong in a human mouth.

I've had this popsicle mould for over a year and have not been able to use it, because in all that time I have not found a single store that carries sticks intended for making popsicles with. It's hot outside and it's making me sad that homemade frozen treats are beyond my grasp. :'(

Why not use disposable plastic forks/knives/spoons? Or your own silverware, if you don't mind losing them for a while?

The thought did cross my mind, but the moulds I want to use are a bit small for a spoon or fork work, and I have some doubts about how well it would adhere to a plastic knife...

I think I'm actually going to try checking the drug store for some medical tongue depressors. They're pretty close to popsicle sticks, and should at least be designed to go in a mouth, right?

I really really don't handle heat well.  I bought and installed a nice window AC.  Everything is great.

Except, oh wait, my apartment only has one circuit breaker.  So every time anyone runs the microwave at the same time as my AC, there's a chance the breaker will trip.  Now I'm the bad guy just because I put us over the limit, even tho the fridge + the microwave really should be almost tripping the circuit on their own (our microwave is ridiculous, 1250 watts).

Dove too deep in the internet hole, and again had the thought that people really are just dumb meat puppets doing dumb things to themselves and eachother.

Reddit is seriously bad for me...

People are meat automata, but the application of the attribute "dumb" to them is inaccurate, as that's just a random emotional response made by said meat automata and really can't objectively apply to anything.

Heard a song I loved. It reminded me of my ex...we broke up over a year ago and I'm dating someone else. I'm still heart broken and sad. I really liked that song too...I've ruined my day.

I got up from the couch and a vicious pain struck my back. Ouch. I'm getting too old to sleep on couches. Ouch. It still hurts 30 min later, can barely move my back.
It has to get better fast though, it's my mom's birthday, my assistance is required.

Today in summer, I am being plagued by ants. I don't know where they're coming from, I just feel a pinch on my legs, groin or feet and find one of the vicious fucks crawling on me. My shins and feet are covered in bites and itchy spots. I thought I knew terror; I did not know terror until I pulled an angry red insect out of my pubes while dressing for work.

Nothing, nothing good has ever happened in my life as a result of summer. Everything awful, painful or inconvenient in my life happens because of, or during, the summer season. "Summer fun" is an invention of Hallmark and Sam Walton to market cheap crap you don't need, much like Valentine's Day and Black Friday. Summer is when Nurgle and Khorne are at their strongest, with a side of tyranids. Why can't it just be fall, all day, all month, every year until the end of time.

Realy irritating scratchy sensation in the back of my mouth/upper throat that i cannot for the life of me alleviate. Making me want to cough, gag, or vomit. Just a little bit painful

This isn't so much sad as it is introspective, but we don't have a thread for that.

I feel like I've been drifting away from the community here lately. I used to be super active and post constantly, but over the past year or so my PPD has dropped from like 20 to an average of ~13. But I generally feel like I've experienced sort of a loss of identity with the board culture, which is a shame, because I genuinely think that Bay12 has one of the best communities I've seen on the internet and remember with fondness my early days here when I proudly considered myself a Bay12er.

I thought maybe it was people disappearing and/or getting replaced with new ones, so I looked at the last two pages of posts in the Happy Thread and compared it with those from a year and a half ago, as a test, but it's not that different. A couple of missing faces (namely OW, but also, what happened to KosS? He hasn't shown up in like half a year,) a few returned ones, a couple of new ones. I still like you guys a lot and don't really have any outstanding problems with the community, so it's not a distaste for the boards. It's not just me coming off of the obsession with posting constantly and making weird, random "jokes" all the time that I had when I was younger, because I dropped that way before I stopped checking back often. And it wasn't school, because my senior year was easily the least stressful year of high school I had (at least overall. I had some of the most stressful individual weeks or days in my life thus far last year, but one week doesn't stop me from posting.)

Upon closer inspection, I blame Reddit. I joined about a year ago, right when I stopped using Bay12 so much. It doesn't feel like it because it's far more interactive, but I've realized that place is a TVTropes-level browser narcotic, with pervasive cynicism where TVTropes has tongue-in-cheek self-awareness. So I'm going to cut down on that a lot and try to integrate myself into the community here again, because I really do love this forum (and I think its organization is a lot better, as well.)

I've realized this after spending some time thinking and realizing that my life has felt a lot duller and more monotonous over the past year or so, something that I hope to rectify by cutting the crap (both on the internet and off of it) that made those days so dull.

Eh, people change. Forums aren't exactly something that a person stay permanently on. I mean, not even Toady One can call himself a Bay12er these days.

Have just found out Photobucked had fucked most of my old forum games up. No use necroing them though, but ugh. Even the newest one only has few updates done with imgur. No idea on what to do now. Maybe start all over.
