I Always Smell Like Poo, Lemme Tell You All About It In Sharing 432

[The Purple Fuzzy]

[MsJennJenn]

seriously we're going on 9 minutes now....she's giving me a play-by-play of her issue...

I dunno why she's telling me all this - I can't help her.

[MsJennJenn]

12 minutes later and she finally stopped for a breath...I said well I can't really help you, I don't deal with pharmacy issues...

[Roscoe]

oh my word - I hate listening to a customer complaint who can barely talk....they use "umm" every other word...arg!

*snore*

Hey Jennn....ummmm....Did you really, ummmm, make that poor woman......ummmmm....go through like twelve minutes of.....ummmm....talking, just to tell her.....ummmm.....that you couldn't,like, help her?

That's, ummmm....like, so wrong!    

[MsJennJenn]

Well it's not like I could get a word in otherwise...and I stated to her upfront that Rob (the person she asked for at the beginning of the call) wasn't in the office today and she chose to keep talking to me.

[MelodyB]

I cleaned the kitchen, ate toast and strawberries, (Yum!) did a load of laundry, cleaned out the fridge, took out the trash, cleaned the litterbox, and took a shower. Now I'm drinking orange juice and waiting for dad to call so I can go with him to the grocery store.

So far, today has been productive!

[MelodyB]

Oh! I also cleaned out the spices, and I'm giving away everything we have that has high sodium. And I put a roast in the crockpot.

[MelodyB]

Triple post. I keep thinking of stuff to say....

While I'm waiting on Dad to call, I'm gonna go thru the rest of the cabinets and get rid of the stuff we can't eat anymore.

Stacey, (a woman at church who is a widowed mother of 5, and has it kinda hard most times) is gonna LOVE this box I'm gonna give her of this stuff I'm cleaning out of the cabinets!

[Roscoe]

 That's great, Mel. I can't imagine what that lady goes through, having five kids and being a single parent. God has blessed me so, I'm SO thankful that I wasn't dealt that hand in life thus far.

Sharing- I've done absolutely nothing productive today, unless you count consuming the left over meatloaf from last night as productive. In another rare event, Lou's off today as well, and we're headed to the nearby town of Russellville to get chey's pictures made. We've gotten her pics made every year, from newborn until now, and just realized that we're only three months or so from her being five and we hadn't gotten her 4 year old pics made yet.

Ta-ta, ya'll!

Speaking of customers calling - have you ever called a restaurant or somewhere, asked to speak to the manager, and complimented the staff for the great job they did last night?  The only time a customer calls it's to complain, so calling to express how good your meal and the service was will throw them for a loop.   Try it sometime, it's fun! 

[The Purple Fuzzy]

My hubby likes to do that, Isaac.  It's amazing to hear the change in their voice when it's a compliment.  He also does it AT the restaurant.  Asks for the manager then gives a complement instead of a complaint.

OK, this is strange. I spell checked this cause I couldn't remember the correct spelling for compliment/complement and it acted like both were correct... so I just wanted y'all to know I tried.

[MsJennJenn]

Sooo, I had it right the first time.
Thanks, Jenn.

[Lynx]

Well we can have a full complement of compliments, and it will complement the compliments your husband gives them in person. 

[Newsman]

To compliment a Lady who needs no complement to her beauty!

I cooked breakfast today. Chocolate gravy, biscuits, eggs, and meat! Yum.

[MelodyB]

Grocery store trip is done. I have all the groceries put away, and I need to clean out one more cabinet before I put this box for Stacey in the truck. I might take it over there later.

I need to find some lunch vittles now.

[Chseeads]

I think I'd make a fine rich man, with more money than brains.

You mean you have less than 25 cents? 




Went to the funeral.  A pretty decent crowd...not many church people though, just lots of heathens.   

Stopped at Menards and got some nails.

Stopped at Sam's Club and got some bottled water for church, and a battery for my car....they charge a "core charge" when you buy a battery, that they'll give back if you give them your old battery.  Stinkin' buzzards.    I'll either drop it back by there when I'm over that way again, or else see if it matters which Club you go to...may have to be the same one though, dunno....or if the salvage yard takes them I'll see how much they give and if they give more I'd take it there, dunno....anyways...  Also signed up for a Sam's credit card, just to get $20 off.  lol  So I'll pay it off when I get the card, and probably never use it again.  It was a bit of a pain in the patootey to get it set up, but worth $20 I guess. lol

Eating breakfast for lunch.

[MsJennJenn]

I'm eating a tuna fish sandwich and SunChips...oh and I went downstairs to get a cream soda..and it's SO good.

[Chseeads]

Gonna go resume shed/pen/building thingy construction.

[Chseeads]

Looked on the salvage yard website, they give $8 for old car batteries...I may just take it there, got some other stuff that needs to go there.....at some point....we'll see....  The Sam's charge thing was $9. 

*Shrug*

Anyways, that's entertainment for another moment in time, I need to go get my Amish beard and hat on and build this stupid pen.

I sure hope there are no Mennonites reading this thread. 

[Chseeads]

Well I guarantee there's no Amish reading it, unless they're running wild on Rumspringa or something.

Meatloaf.  You are surely a man after my own heart.  I love meatloaf.  And leftover meatloaf WILL surely be at the marriage supper of the lamb...

[Chseeads]

Did an egg drop. 

On dinner break from construction now.
