Pet Store
I am a "stickler" for always trying to do what is right. I'm not always good at it, but I really do try.
Wednesday after work I stopped at the local pet food store to get some cat food and some "Mugsy" treats (the Beagle next door is "my" dog... I spoil him rotten with dog treats and ear scratches and my friend gets to do all the rest - LOL). I have a "green" bag which means I don't have to get a plastic bag for the food. I usually take everything out of the bag with the exception of the 24 cans of Fancy Feast. I only take one of those out and tell the girl I have 24 cans.
It was a total zoo in there. Birds were screeching, there were a lot of people in there and I think everyone was talking at once. When it was my turn at the register I did my usual thing. The girl rang me up, and I left. When I went to check the bill and write down how much it was I noticed that she had charged me for all the items I put on the counter but only charged me for 4 cans of Fancy Feast. I figured she must have only heard the "four" part of the twenty-four.
Well, after work on Thursday I went back. I asked for the manager and explained what had happened and that I would like to pay for the 20 cans of food that I wasn't charged for. I thought that woman was going to cry. She could not believe that I would come back in there and admit I got more than I paid for. I was overwhelmed when she said to me that being in the retail business had really lessened her faith in people and that I had restored her faith that there really are honest people out there. I already felt better when I paid for the food, but that really made me feel good -- that I could restore someone's faith in humankind. I guess there must have been a reason that I didn't get charged for all of the food.
In this day and age, there are so many businesses going by the wayside. There aren't enough customers, or there are too many dishonest customers. Maybe that $10 wasn't a big deal to some people, but it was a big deal to me. When I think of all the people that slip things into their pockets and walk out of a store with them for whatever reason, it makes me very sad. They are doing a great injustice to the store owner who is working very hard to make a living, and the cost of that kind of thing is eventually passed on to the customer in the way of higher prices because they are literally losing money out the door. Not only that, but maybe the manager might not be able to give anyone a raise, or they to have let a worker go because they are losing money, or it comes to closing the store.
Now that I think about it, there are all kinds of ways people steal from stores. A lot of people don't think that what they are doing is stealing, I'm sure. There's the person who puts a bunch of bananas in their basket and then lets the child eat one. That's stealing. It might not seem like it, but it is.
Well, I had better get off my soap box. I could probably stand here all day! LOL! Thanks for listening.

1955
Comments made in the year 1955! (That's only 54 years ago!)
'I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it's going to be impossible to buy a week's groceries for $20.00.'
'Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long before $2, 000.00 will only buy a used one.'
'If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous.'
'Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter?'
'If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store.'
'When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon.
Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage.'
'I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying DAMN in GONE WITH THE WIND, it seems every new movie has either HELL or DAMN in it.'
'I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas .'
'Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll be making more than the President.'
'I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters now.'
'It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women are having to work to make ends meet. It won't be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work.'
'I'm afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business.'
'Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the Government takes half our income in taxes.
I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to congress.'
'The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.'
'There is no sense going to Lincoln or Omaha anymore for a weekend, it costs nearly $15.00 a night to stay in a hotel.'
'No one can afford to be sick anymore, at $35.00 a day in the hospital it's too rich for my blood.'
'If they think I'll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget it.'
Know any friends who would get a kick out of these? Pass this on!

Casualty
Sigh. On the way out the door yesterday morning I thought, "Gosh, this spot looks funny." And then I figured out why. One of my 41 year old cedar trees was lying across the front. Pulled right out of the ground. There was just one snow storm too many for the poor thing. That was some heavy-*ss snow. Three inches of the stuff. It felt like I was moving cement when I cleaned the car off.
I was going to see about having it put back in the ground. So much for that thought. The hubs called me at work.
Hubs: "I got almost all of it cut up."
Me: "Got what almost cut up."
Hubs: "The cedar tree."
Me: "I was thinking about having it put back in the ground."
Hubs: "It's a little too late for that."
Apparently. Sigh. The birds were very unhappy when I came home. They were chattering at me from the Oak tree in the front yard. What can you do?
I miss it already. I wonder if I make him put what's left of it in the ground if it would come back. He hasn't hacked the roots off of it yet. There's still hope! Of course, it will be about 2 feet tall instead of being taller than the house. And it won't have any green stuff on it. Really big sigh.
On the bright side, he was bowling last night, so he couldn't hack at it any more.

It's Spring!
All the Robins are back. The red-winged blackbirds are back. My hyacinths have bloomed. My daffodils are ready to bloom. I can handle the April showers. Honest, I can. It's SPRING, for Pete's sake! So what's with the snow and the 45 mph winds? Yep. That's what I said. Snow and 45 mph winds... tomorrow.... Argggggggggg!!!

As You Slide Down the Banister of Life, Remember
1. Jim Baker and Jimmy Swaggert have written
An impressive new book. It's called .........
'Ministers Do More Than Lay People'
2. Transvestite: A guy who likes to eat, drink
And be Mary.
3. The difference between the Pope and
Your boss, the Pope only expects you
To kiss his ring.
4. My mind works like lightning, One brilliant
Flash and it is gone.
5. The only time the world beats a path to
Your door is if you're in the bathroom.
6. I hate sex in the movies. Tried it once.
The seat folded up, the drink spilled and
That ice, well, it really chilled the mood.
7. It used to be only death and taxes
Now, of course, there's
shipping and handling, too.
8. A husband is someone who, after taking
the trash out, gives the impression that
he just cleaned the whole house.
9. My next house will have no kitchen - just
Vending machines and a large trash can.
10. A blonde said, 'I was worried that my
Mechanic might try to rip me off.
I was relieved when he told me all
I needed was turn signal fluid.'
11. Definition of a teenager?
God's punishment...for enjoying sex.
12. As you slide down the banister of life, may
the splinters never point the wrong way.

The Sneeze
They walked in tandem, each of the ninety-two students filing into the already crowded auditorium. With their rich maroon gowns flowing .. and the traditional caps, they looked almost as grown up as they felt. Dads swallowed hard behind broad smiles, and Moms freely brushed away tears.
This class would NOT pray during the commencements----not by choice, but because of a recent court ruling prohibiting it. The principal and several students were careful to stay within the guidelines allowed by the ruling. They gave inspirational and challenging speeches, but no one mentioned divine guidance and no one asked for blessings on the graduates or their families. The speeches were nice, but they were routine.....until the final speech received a standing ovation.
A solitary student walked proudly to the microphone. He stood still and silent for just a moment, and then, it happened. All 92 students, every single one of them, suddenly SNEEZED!!!! The student on stage simply looked at the audience and said 'GOD BLESS YOU, each and every one of you!' And he walked off stage... The audience exploded into applause.
This graduating class had found a unique way to invoke God's blessing on their future with or without the court's approval. Isn't this a wonderful story? Pass it on to all your friends and GOD BLESS YOU!!!!
This is a true story; it happened at the University of Maryland. Oh, how I wish THIS one would take off and FILL the whole Country!!!

In The Way
A man was being tailgated by a stressed- out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.
The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup.
As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a holding cell. After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.
He said, 'I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him.' I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'Follow Me to Sunday School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally... I assumed you had stolen the car.'

Puzzle Answer
Answer: No, it is not that they all have at least 2 doubleletters.
Answer: In all of the words listed, if you take the first letter, place it at the end of the word, and then spell the word backwards, it will be the same word.
Did you figure it out? No? Then send it to more people and stump them as well. Then you'll feel better, too.
Pretty neat, huh?!

Better Than a Flu Shot!
Miss Beatrice, the church organist, was in her eighties and had never been married. She was admired for her sweetness and kindness to all.
One afternoon the pastor came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sitting room.. She invited him to have a seat while she prepared tea. As he sat facing her old Hammond organ, the young minister noticed a cute glass bowl sitting on top of it. The bowl was filled with water, and in the water floated, of all things, a condom!
When she returned with tea and scones, they began to chat. The pastor tried to stifle his curiosity about the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the better of him and he could no longer resist.
'Miss Beatrice', he said, 'I wonder if you would tell me about this?' pointing to the bowl.
'Oh, yes,' she replied, 'Isn't it wonderful? I was walking through the park a few months ago and I found this little package on the ground. The directions said to place it on the organ, keep it wet and that it would prevent the spread of disease. Do you know I haven't had the flu all winter.'

Tech support: That's not an anti-virus program.
Customer: Oh, sorry... Internet Explorer.
===============
Customer: I have a huge problem. A friend has placed a screen saver on my computer, but every time I move the mouse, it disappears.
===============
Tech support: How may I help you?
Customer: I'm writing my first email.
Tech support: OK, and what seems to be the problem?
Customer: Well, I have the letter 'a' in the address, but how do I get the little circle around it?
===============
A woman customer called the Canon help desk with a problem with her printer.
Tech support: Are you running it under windows?
Customer: 'No, my desk is next to the door, but that is a good point. The man sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a window, and his printer is working fine.'
===============
And last but not least...
Tech support: 'Okay Bob, let's press the control and escape keys at the same time. That brings up a task list in the middle of the screen. Now type the letter 'P' to bring up the Program Manager.'
Customer: I don't have a P.
Tech support: On your keyboard, Bob.
Customer: What do you mean?
Tech support: 'P' ..... on your keyboard, Bob.
Customer: I'M NOT GOING TO DO THAT!

Meet Sydney and Blake! Aren't they adorable? I certainly think so!!

March
This month is quite busy for us. Let's see: There's our great niece who turned 18, our step-grandson who turned 18, my brother who turned 78, our great-grandson who turned 3, my best friend's birthday is today, and I just know we're leaving someone out... oh, it finally became spring and we had to endure a time change. Whew!
