I have so many things to say. So many things going through my head. Pardon the rambling. First. My sincerest thoughts and prayers go out to the people affected in today’s tragedy. I don’t know how these things happen. I…
Oh, The Places We Have Been
What is it about the places we used to live, that makes us go back and look at them? It’s something my mother does, each time she’s in Savannah, Georgia, her home town. It’s something my father used to do…
I Think It’s About Time
That some of these things became reality: A clothes folding machine. This can be the final cycle of my dryer, I don’t care. It’s the worst part of laundry. A pillow or pillowcase that stays cold. I’m sick of flipping…
Craft Store Oddities
A new Hobby Lobby opened near me today. This is exciting only in that my local Michaels is not one of the fancy stores; in fact, it’s pretty bad. I went to Hobby Lobby to see if there were any…
Health Care Estimates
We had to take our dog to the doggie ER at 4am Friday. He’s fine, but it was scary. Probably more so for us than for him. Once they thought about what treatment they wanted to do, they presented us…
File this under “WTF were they thinking”?
Do I have to bring my own memorabilia, or will they sell that to me as well?
Things that make you say “huh”.
I got this month’s issue of Real Simple in the mail over the weekend. Opened it last night and saw a small blurb about disposing of expired medication. It starts by stating that putting medicine down the drain, and therefore…
Are you a Taster or a Gambler?
I just got home from our local “farmer’s market” where I’ve lately been buying my produce for the week. I get a bag of cherries, then proceed to the bulk aisle. While I’m scooping some sushi style rice into my…
Why did I need a Referral?
We have a lovely HMO health insurance plan. We’re pretty healthy, so it’s fine. We pay a co-pay for the doctor and we get cheaper prescriptions. As long as it’s a prescription for a drug invented before 1970. Anyway, I’m…
Almost a Quart of Strawberries
I bought this “quart” of strawberries yesterday. It’s been a while since I’ve purchased a quart of strawberries. We’ve been getting the “bushel” from Costco. Since Robert’s away, I got a few less strawberries this time. I think I got…
Can You Hear Me, Sprint?
Guess what? Another Sprint “bill” in the mail. Again with the .08 credit. So now they’ve spent money and resources three times telling us “not to pay”. If only there was something they could do to catch these before they…
A Special Kind of Sprint Silliness
A few years back we used Sprint for our mobile phone service. Their customer service is the worst I’ve ever experienced. We ended up canceling, and paying the penalty for early cancellation, because I just couldn’t deal with them anymore….
