I'm not PMSing.....I Pinkie Swear


Let me just start by telling you how much I HATE Wal~Mart. Yup, I'm probably one of the few people on the planet who will admit this....and while I'm coming clean, I will admit to...
Not liking IN N Out Burgers, New Car smell, Disliking Elvis with a passion and any board game whatsoever....WHEW!...OK, Now that that's off my chest I can get back to freakin' Wal~Mart.

Yes, I went there today...I didn't want to, I tried to think of another store that offered what I needed to get, but what store offers milk, band-aids, fruit and storage units...All under one roof?
First of all, when you are hired at the ripe old age of 75 to be a greeter, shouldn't you be greeting people with a smile? I'm really not trying to be sarcastic (although you know that's my M.O.) but the greeter looked at me, I smiled and she looked at me like she was constipated, I mean, come one, you work in Wal~Mart....go to the laxative aisle for gawd sakes. That's her job....smiling, saying hello and offering you a shopping cart...how hard could it be? It's not like she'sPMSing and even if she had a bad day (it was 11 am )...pretend smile...I do it all the time...even when I'm PMSing.

And all you people who seem to think that shopping in Wal~Mart is an amusement park for your unruly children....TAKE THEM TO THE PARK...OR LEAVE THEM AT HOME! I don't feel like scolding, yelling or tactfully teaching your children how to behave (although I have) out in public. And I certainly do not like it when little kidlets jump out at me from the center of a clothes rack.
And people...Answer your children when they say MOM for the umpteenth time....or I will.

And lastly, this is the main reason I balk at going into this store....It ALWAYS looks like a tornado hit it. Clothes strewn on the floor, clearance items in disarray and so on and so on...

But.....

There I go, cruising the parking lot and dodging slow walkers who have not a care in the world because THEIR the only person on the planet and their kids can't wait to attack the store.
I guess you can say I have a Love/Hate Relationship with Wal~Mart....I don't wanna go, but I'm drawn to it...like passing a car wreak I guess....I'm Just Sayin'

MOVE IT!

I am a people person. I always have been, but sometimes people just hit a nerve with me So, having said that, I think once in a while I'm gonna write about my pet peeves. I'm not gonna go on and on, I'm just gonna mention it in the hopes of someone I don't know will stumble on to this blog and think twice before they do that dumb thing I'm ranting about. There aren't that many so it's not like I gonna constantly write about them. So here goes...



Not pulling over when there is an ambulance, fire engine,police, paramedic or anyone that could virtually save a life. Come on people....move it! When did people stop doing this? When I hear or see a vehicle like the above mentioned....I pull over. It's that easy! It is a life and death situation and how would you feel if it was your loved one inside an ambulance or a fire engine on it's way to your home? Think about it. Have we gotten so self centered that we can't think beyond ourselves? Do we not care? Are we so wrapped up in our lives that we no longer think of others and try to do the right thing? Are we in such a hurry that pulling over for 20 seconds can throw our busy lives into a spiral? Next time....pull over. I would do it for you. I'm just say'n!
