10-2-09...YOU AINT SO GREAT!!!!!
I was told this fact in no uncertain terms once when I got too big for my britches and my Mamma had enough of me. HE HE
She didn't say it in exactly these words but I wanted it to rhyme.
Sometimes you feel so portant' and you think you're
natures only bloom.
You get to thinkin' my dear, that you're the best in the room.
You might think the earth without you would leave a big ol' hole'.
Honey just do what I tell you,
you'll see how it humbles your soul.
Draw up a bucket of water and stick your hand in
up to your wrist.
Take your hand out and look at the hole remaining,
and measure how much you'll be missed.
Just splash round all that you want to,
and stir up that water some more.
When you stop you'll find in a second,
the water is the same as before.
Now honey I just wanna tell you,
do the very best you can.
I'm proud of you, but remember,
There's no indispensable man!!! (OR GIRL)
NOPE!!!!!

CRAZY SHOPPING TRIP
10-2-09...CRAZY SHOPPING TRIP
I should not! I repeat, Should Not!! attempt to go shopping. Especially on Friday. The stores are always packed and people are getting more rude everyday. Good Grief! What has happened to people. Everyone is in such a hurry that they don't even see you as they speed by pushing those carts. They'll mow you down if you don't get out of their way.
I had ordered some shoes on line from WalMart so I could stay out of the store as much as possible. The shoes came yesterday. Three pairs of them. Heck Fire, They were too big. I had to take them to our local store to return or exchange them. Of course they didn't have the shoes in the store but they returned my money.
I lugged them in the store and to the service desk. OMG was that whole store packed and the lines at the service desk were long. I had to wait for almost 30 minutes for my turn. One couple ahead of me was told they couldn't return their stuff for some reason. They argued with the lady. She called the Manager who took her sweet time getting there. The couple was mad as hornets but took their stuff out. The Manager left and went back to where ever she came from. Twice more she had to be called up and twice more she took her time getting there.
The lady behind me in line just kept bumping me with her cart. Never an excuse me. I finally had enough of that so I said very politely, "Honey you are going to wear my backside off with that cart. Now it wouldn't hurt me a bit to lose some of my backside but I'd rather not do it this way". She looked at me like I was from Mars or somewhere and never said a word but at least she quit bumping my poor fanny.
When I was next in line the Manager was called again and again took her time getting there. She came sauntering up there like a snails crawl. When she was getting ready to leave again I said, "Honey would you please just stay here till I get my shoes returned? If I have to wait on you to come back again I do believe I am going to wet my britches. And besides I am worn to a frazzle and hurting like crazy from standing here". She flipped her bleached hair and said, "I guess I can do that". I thanked her and finally got my money back.
I decided I'd go see if they had the shoes in the store and of course they didn't. On the way back to the shoe department something swished by me and right back in front of me and stopped. There was a little man strutting around like a bannie rooster pushing a cart. Now he was struck on him self or something I guess. All dressed in a white shirt and tie with a employee badge on his shirt. He was returning things to the aisles from somewhere. Probably things that were brought back in that darn line I just came out of. I almost run in to him when he stopped in front of me. He looked at me like I was a worm under his feet and never said excuse me, I'm sorry, or kiss my butt! Two aisles over he did the same thing to me. By now I didn't want to kiss his butt but I wanted to kick it. I said, "Well Good Grief you are going to knock me down if you don't be more careful". That sucker looked at me like I was stupid and just and kept swishing up the aisle. My cool was gone by then. I came unglued at the seams. I went up that aisle griping and fuming and everyone was looking at me then. But that's OK because I came upon on the bannie rooster and bumped right in to his butt. He was bent down putting something on a shelf close to the bottom. I said, "Well Good Grief, I wish they would stop leaving trash in these aisles for us to have to dodge". Then I went on my merry way not looking back. NOPE! I don't need to go in a store, I get too emotional. TEE HEE HEE!!!!
