aggravations of recent days
Friday Feb 26 = Haven't been to walgreen's since a greeting card incident but in a weak moment went. there is a sale section which sometimes has interesting even now and then useful things so i got a supplement marked 4$. when I was told that my 2 bags, mostly easter candy came to 66$ or so i said that can't be right. so, after the salesperson checked, why yes the 40$ she put on 2x, took off 1x, was still there. 36$ saved there and then. several times at walgreen's it wasn't until getting home that i discovered wrong prices (excuse--the manager doesn't usually ring things up so he might make mistakes), no dog food treats because the manager was ringing and he set the bag on the floor (great place for it--maybe a counter would be better), etc
Sat Feb 27 = joann's where 2 items in the sale/damaged area went through at regular prices even though the sale price was right below, right tight below, the regular price. when the total was 62$ for my 1 bag and i was supposed to hit correct or incorrect i said i don't think it's correct. so looking at the screen the salesperson says why yes the 40$ item is really 9.50; i asked about another item and why yes that was also done incorrectly. saved about 32$. bet the line behind me either was angry or careful for their turn
Also Sat when i got to dad's house that is for sale i noticed the breezeway door was open, one i always try to remember to push close when i leave and i knew i had closed it that am. inside, the door to the house AGAIN OPEN--the THIRD time a realtor has shown the home and left the door open so i can heat the basement, breezeway, and garage i guess. Also bedroom light left on and blinds opened to the north. Being a slow study as they say, this time i took pictures to post, called the realtor again and suggested i be notified when someone came. am i to feel blessed that the home is being shown? should be. am i to feel pissed that people are incompetent? you bet. final irony? the 2nd time the place was left open, mike came and posted a sign on the door that again was left open to please lock and close it. maybe the realtors can't read or were never taught to put things back the way they were found. lazy ahs as i say. photos to follow
Sun while trying to open a bottle of sangria the corkscrew broke off in the cork. so what to use--a knife worked slowly to dig out cork, bottle opener large and small size worked somewhat, but the curved meat pick thing that goes with old fashioned nut cracker sets would go in and dig out cork. moral always have back up corkscrew?

week's rages
michigan bill to make it mandatory for schools to outsource ALL custodians, cooks, and bus drivers. What are they thinking? way to save money or way to hurt any unionized groups? basically a way to decrease take home pay. someone needs to find out who is behind this. certainly NOT a way to increase jobs is it? just like cutting police and firemen in Flint. saves money does it? helps raise unemployment too. by the way can they collect unemployment? let's hope. LEAVE MICHIGAN NOW--Let the republicans and tea party members continue to destroy the state. and be sure everyone knows that if you CUT TAXES you must CUT SERVICES. live and learn.
good reason to get a carrying concealed permit if you want to stay around the area.

“Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.”
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.”
Sprint
What can I say? at least 30 minutes to ask 3 questions on a connection that was static filled. maybe to a far and distant country? 3 different people in 3 departments. 2 questions were answered "Your next statement will reflect the discount and new contract price" but the on-line site does not as yet reflect that. holding my breath? nope, am a realist. this will need further investigation. and the fact that the wrong cell phone was pictured for 1 of our 3 phones with wrong data i assume since person 1 and 2 acted surprised and concerned. ignore the fact that 6 months ago all 3 phones were changed and all 3 were the same. undoubtedly a computer error.
