boofae, I am so sorry. Sometimes life just isn’t fair.
That is bad. I was always really nervous with shared cash registers because I didn’t want to get blamed for someone else’s mistake/theft. I’m glad it got sorted and hope you had some weed at home to help unjangle your nerves.
Hurray! Good on you for making yourself clear without hurting feelings. That can be hard at times.
30 years back, I was very involved in cat rescue. So much so that I was at the vet’s office at least a couple of times a week and paid full price for our housecats while also paying their discounted rate for the strays and ferals I was dealing with. Lots of time, lots of money.
One day I brought a couple of traps in and the receptionist called me over to look at paint and fabric swatches. They were remodeling the reception area and thought that because I was there as often as time while paying for the privilege, they thought I deserved some input in my new surroundings.
Happy birthday dear Ace. I hope your day was stress free and that you got cake.
I’m going to be serious before I joke about the lesson I learned at Cracker Barrel. Before my hip blew, I was a hardcore kickboxer. I competed for a while and won against men twice my size because I was quick and fierce and smart enough to know that if I didn’t put my opponent down right away, I was going to get hurt because a small woman doesn’t stand a chance against a man in a real fight.
My self defense plan has always been “Blow up like a firecracker, and then run away as fast as I can because I cannot beat an unarmed man in a fair fight.” That’s why I used the cane!
The lesson I learned at Cracker Barrel was to always carry a freezer bag when we are out with the guys. That way, if we can’t finish our food, we can put the bacon and toast in the bag and eat it when we get down the road!
We still go to CB at times when our housekeeper is here. Their menu has changed quite a bit and they don’t have the highly advertised fake sausage or cheesecake stuffed pancakes. We like going to the little Mexican place for cactus and eggs better.
I used to live in Hawaii and got a speeding ticket I thought was very unfair so I went to court to protest it. When the judge asked one young man before me in the line what he did for a living, his reply was “I’m the moose.” Everyone in the room except the judge understood that he was the guy in the moose costume who handed out flyers for the Fuddruckers in Waikiki.
Fingers crossed. Serious question here…have you tried weed? Pot doesn’t stop my pain, it makes it so I don’t care about it as much. I have honestly been smoking some really good weed and felt an itch somewhere difficult to reach without taking boots off and spent so much time thinking about how much effort that be that I managed to forget about it. Nobody gets the same effects from weed, but the not caring thing is pretty real if you do it right.
Well, that looks all nice and stuff, but how can we tell that it was really quality approved!!!
Honestly, I am amazed at your work. I’m pretty sure Ralphy isn’t in the picture because he had already signed off on it.
Yep. Five years ago, I would have soldiered on but then the world ended and I realized how little tolerance I had for people. I loved social distancing and wish it would come back post haste.
I am SO happy to hear this.
Our housekeeper was here today, at not normal day or time which kinda messed up the kitties. They are used to her in the mornings, not at nap time. She got us in just before her month long cruise to Tahiti and locations around there. She said she wanted to cancel it after she got so sick the last cruise but it was non-refundable and it was something she really wanted to do so she is doing it.
I hope she wins another 10 grand prize because her last prize (covid and pneumonia) kinda sucked.
Hubs wanted sliders at the diner in Black Canyon which worked out so I could deliver the rest of the butter shamrocks and cream cheese balls. Someone here suggested mint for the cream cheese which I thought was disgusting. I didn’t say so and pitched it to my buyer and she thought it was a wonderful idea, so I made a bakers dozen mint flavored (hated to use flavoring but I didn’t have time to grow mint) green cream cheese balls. I thought it was disgusting but my buyer thinks we are going to die rich. I have my doubts but as long as her checks clear, I’m all good. I make vegan cheese and you all know how I feel about that, LOL!
As long as we were on that side of the mountain, we went to the dispensary where I learned that they were now recycling their plastic containers and have a handy-dandy bin right there in the reception area. That made me super happy.
I saw the first turkey buzzard of the year today. That means it’s spring, they don’t start migrating until it will be warm enough for them and I trust them much more than the weather guessers.
