You all have pre-approved cards from the Banque de Wormz. No deposit needed, but I wouldn’t want to go too deep in dept. Cause we all know what happens to worms who can’t pay their debts? this happens.

\*\*I was lucky enough to meet all 4 of my grandparents, but I only have Granny left now. Yeah, I love a Super-Walmart…although I hate shopping there. The prices are low and you can get everything in one place, but it’s always crowded and the checkout lines are long and the checkerpersons are slow. I also don’t like unloading my cart onto the belt. I like to fill it up and have the cashier unload it and check it.\*\* ---

\*\*I’ve met three-quarters of my grandparents However, I’ve never shopped at Wal-mart. If the statement had been ‘never been to Wal-mart’, I would have lost another worm, though, since I went there with a friend once while she returned a camera\*\* ---

Let’s bring on the next two statements: **Mahaloth** says: **Never Have I Ever worked or attended school on my birthday** **Which I have, pretty much since I started school** And **notfrommensa** says: **Never Have I Ever owned a houseplant** **I’ve had a few; they’re all dead now ☹** ---

Mahaloth must have been born on a holiday, like Dec 24 or 25th. **I have worked, gone to work, and gone to school on my birthday.** FTR, I have gone to work on Xmas day, and xmas eve. Being single, I often substituted for co-workers (w/ families) who had to work on those days. Holidays are just another day for me. ---

\*\*Yes, I’ve spent plenty of B-days in school or at work. Yes, I’ve owned several houseplants over the years\*\* ---

\*\*I’ve met my grandparents I’ve shopped at Walmart\*\* **I’m not sure if I’ve had a birthday before on a day I went to school** I’ll have to ask my mom, she’d probably know. I was born on November 22nd…which, in the US, in the year 1979 (when I was born) was Thanksgiving. Since then my birthday has fallen on Thanksgiving a few times, but other times it’s off that holiday from anywhere to one or two days to even a week. However most schools, around that time, let out for the holiday. Again, I’ll ask today and get back to you. **Never bought or owned a houseplant** ---

\*\*Yes, I’ve often worked or gone to school on my birthday. Yes, I’ve owned a houseplant\*\*, although just two, an English ivy and an aloe that survived even my less-than-green thumb. ---
