I have to drive 15 minutes (on a good, low-traffic day) to get to a decent (i.e. clean, decent selection) supermarket. If 15 minutes is such a hardship to get some overpriced frozen-and-microwaved prepackaged sodium-and-fat bomb chain Italian food, then she needs, desperately, to get some perspective. I'm pretty sure that there are people making that trip to and from Lynnwood every single day for work, and she's whining about doing it what, once a month, for some freaking Olive Garden crap?

	This+another 15 minutes, to nearest Wal-Mart, unless we need a real grocery store, in which case, that's another 30 minutes. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Hell, I live in Lynnwood and work in Bellevue, because the rent is way too high in Bellevue to live there. 15 minutes ain't nothing but a thing when you commute 45 mins each way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And you know, for an optional thing like dining in your restaurant of preference, it's a really privileged, selfish, whiny thing to complain about. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	My parents live in this teeny tiny town in North Carolina, and my mom will drive 45 minutes to Wilmington to go to the Harris Teeter there. She will also drive the hour and a half to Raleigh to go to Olive Garden with me (she LOOOOVVVES her some Olive Garden. I prefer the nearby Sweet Tomatoes, which we eat at almost as often.)
