This is regarding the ignorant cashier at Walgreens who recently refused to wait on a man and his child because the child was wearing a mask over his mouth.  She made some comment about “how dare they” put her life at risk and began yelling at them.  Luckily her manager stepped in and forced her to check them out.  I hope the manager fired her sorry ass later on.

What this lady should have thought about before she went on her tirade was how she’d feel if the tables were turned.  What if she had been the one standing there with her child in Walgreens and the cashier refused to wait on her?  How would she have felt?

If we would all just stop and think before we react in certain situations, the world would be a much better place.

Wednesday marked the 40th anniversary of “Sesame Street”.  Now I feel really old!

Here’s hoping this classic kids show stays around for at least another 40 years, continuing to help youngsters in learning this ABCs and 123’s, preparing them for school, preparing them for life.  It’s no surprise it has won so many Emmy awards.  Even after all these years, I’m still watching it and I’m still being entertained (of course, having a preschool-age child does help!).

May Big Bird live forever…

Snow White and the seven dwarves were walking through the forest. 

Unfortunately the dwarves did not see a gaping hole in the ground and ended up falling in.  Snow White was distraught and was sure that her seven little friends had perished in their terrible fall.

Suddenly a voice shouted from the hole:  “Brett Favre is going to win this weekend!”

Snow White gasped.  “Well, Dopey’s still alive…”

DO YOU WANT FRIES WITH YOUR HOT DOG?

Imagine this scenario: you apply for a job, go for the initial interview, wait two weeks and then get an email from the manager that they want to meet with you for a half-an-hour regarding the position.  What would you think?  I think most would believe that it was a good sign they were going to be getting the job.

Well, this exact thing happened to me recently.  I anxiously waited for the manager to show up only for him to tell me that I did not get the job and that he had wanted to tell me personally. 

Although I felt it was somewhat more “personal” to tell me face-to-face than on the phone, I found it to be a total waste of my time and it was something he could have told me on the phone or even in the email he sent to me.

Some people just need to think….

and rightfully so.

I’m glad the hoax caved in for the Colorado balloon dude who thinks life is just one big reality show after another.  I don’t know what’s worse…the fact that he tried to scam everyone in believing his kid took off in a weather balloon or that he made his kids lie about it.

Gee, I wonder what those kids are going to be like as adults…

And I’ve already started seeing it in the stores! 

Ah, my favorite time of year.  Time to enjoy the sights, scents and sounds of the holidays…:)

The story about Letterman’s interoffice “fling” didn’t surprise me.  In the world of entertainment, you’d be shocked to learn who is doing who, when and where.  I don’t condone what he did but I don”t agree with him being blackmailed.

I’ve seen this same thing happen to an artist I knew.  Some celebrities seem to think they become invincible when they are given fame.  They feel all powerful, like they can have it all and not have to answer to anyone about what they do.  But they forget who put them where they are and they forget the ones they allegedly love.  A lot of people get hurt.

Letterman’s case is no exception.  And the most guilty party is Letterman himself.  No amount of apologies will ever erase what he did.

do you stay or do you go? 

I’ve enountered such an issue with the doctor I have been seeing for many years.  Although the thought has crossed my mind more than once to leave, I have stayed.  However, due to my latest poor treatment encounter with the doctor, I have finally made up my mind to leave.  For good.  Actually, I feel like never seeing another doctor ever again.  Nothing against any doctors out there.  I know there are good ones.  However, the ones I’ve been to, whether it be my primary care or a specialist, all seem to be a bunch of quacks who want your $20.00 and want you in and out as soon as possible.

I think we all know the medical field is a big joke in some ways.  And doctors make money based on their quota (the more in, the  more money…so they spend 30 seconds with you and you’re out).  Honestly, if I’m going to see the doctor and spend $20.00 to do it, I’m going to get my money’s worth.  I’m not just going to get my blood pressure checked and not have any of my other questions answered.  My doctor couldn’t even tell me how much the dosage was on the medication that she had prescribed me!  She couldn’t even find it listed in my chart!

So I’m hunting around for a new doctor, one who will listen to me, keep track of my medical chart, know how much my dosages are on my medications and will try to help me out with answers to my questions.

If I’m supposed to be getting what I’m paying for, why do I feel that my $20.00 is being wasted?

you know, the ones who are so stupid they really should not be behind the wheel…

I’m talking about the idiot sitting behind me at a red light, waiting for a red arrow to turn green.  You know the kind of light.  A left turn only kind of light, no turn on red, wait for the green light to turn kind of light.  There’s another factor here as well:  there is a very clearly posted “NO U-TURN” sign situated here.  You know the kind witha  picture of the letter “U” and a big red slash mark through it.

I’m patiently waiting for the left arrow to turn green so I can turn.  The stupid bitch behind me starts honking her horn.  I honk back.  She then proceeds to go around me (good thing the arrow didn’t turn green in the process as she would’ve caused a nice accident) and then did a U-turn, of course where it indicated no U-turn.  I honked at her again and gave her the finger as she sped by.  What a dumb bitch.  She’s probably one of many out there who wonder why they’re paying $3,000 for insurance on their piece of shit car.
