Default Re: Geez! I hate that!

pasty weekend coming up for Poppa and grandkids (every weekend we do something together).

up to Cole's to buy beef mince, celery, parsnips, potatoes, onion's, pumpkin, and those long white things the name of which has fell out the gap between my two remaining braincells and will keep me awake tonight until I bloody well remember the name of the damnable things.

now where was I........oh yeah!......waiting in line at the checkout having a yak with the folks around me waiting for the lovely elderly lady in front to pay for her goods, turns out she was $0.50c short for full payment.

bloody checkout chick wouldn't let her go with out the $0.50c...."company policy" say's she......."if it was me, I wouldn't mind, but they have it all on camera".....

"bugger this, thieving mongrels aren't winning this day" say's I and dug into my wallet (dodging the assorted escaping moths) to pull said coinage from said holder...........

well bugger me if all the other 5 folks (a couple of young buggers in there as well) in line, in front and behind, all doing the same, what's more they were quicker on the draw than me so I got to keep me penny's.

just when you think you got the world sorted out and pigeon holed they surprise you every bloody time.

AH! AH! got it ......SWEDE'S........I can sleep now.

may your day's be filled with smiles, your life be filled with love, may your children know nothing but happiness and joy, cherish the memory of those who strove before us for they cleared the way, spare a thought for those who serve we owe so much to so many, life and the freedom to enjoy it is a special gift that can be taken away far too soon!
