It's Late at Night - Do You Know Where... *you* shouldn't be? I bet that place that you shouldn't be is RIGHT HERE! Hahahahahaha ---------- Written 8 years ago. A slice of life essay. ---------- Seriously folks, unless you have no one in your life or no place to go with them, you shouldn't be on here! I have just returned from supermarket shopping and have quite a tale to tell - as always  I so love being out there interacting with Humans.... You should try it sometime! It's fun So, I go out to hit the bus - figuratively, although if you remember the Supermarket Saga Part 1, I actually *did* hit the bus, literally I stopped at the office to get My mail and say hello to the manager. She wasn't in, but the Guardian of the candy was....  She looked at Me and said: ONE PIECE! ONE PIECE! That's all you get.... And don't go complaining to the manager, either. If you do, my pretty, there will be NO candy for You. HAHAHAHAHAHA... As she rubbed her hands together with glee. I checked to see if I still had on My ruby slippers, did, and escaped her, her cackle and her winged monkeys and got to the bus.... Sigh. I get into the supermarket and My counseling '' who was in the Martial Arts tournement is back but not back at work. So I still have no way to know what happened there I got some stamps and one of the '' said: Hey, Doc. Is that a coupon? I said: Yes, but I didn't get enough stuff last week to use it. He takes the coupon and hands Me some money. I just smile and say thanks. I go to the produce department. And there I see another of My - one that I haven't seen in a while. I have known him and his twin brother for years. His twin is now a front end manager, but he stayed in produce. We talked about school and parents - the usual stuff... He sees the salad stuff in My cart and says: No, no, not for *You*! And gets Me all new stuff approved by *him*! Hahahahaha Ok, I move on. Stop at the pharmacy and talk to the pharmacist that I know well about some new programs that they will be offering soon. Walmart started this $4 prescription program. They have a list of generics and if your prescription meds are on it, you get a months supply for $4! This program has now spread to Target, Costco and soon to Krogers, as well. It will really help alot of people. So we chatted about how the program will be implemented and what meds are on the list. She gave Me a handful of chocolate calcium chews - for the calcium, naturally! Then off to the bakery. Now here is a great young man that I have known for years. He gave Me some cookies and we talked about Chinese Medicine and Reiki healing energy - both of which I know quite well. He is thinking of learning them and trying to work with them as a profession. So, I talked to him about all that and he kept feeding Me cookies It was an equitable exchange.... Then, as I started to go, he said: Hey, wait. You like chocolate brownies with walnuts, right? And I said: Of course! So he takes a bunch of them - 8 in all - and packaged them up and said: What do you think? 75 cents sound about right to You? And I replied: Well, don't do anything you will get in trouble for. So he marks the package 80 cents and smiles as he hands them to Me. I found that they had fudge stick cookies on sale, 10 boxes for 10 bucks I found a manager and asked him if he could eliminate the sale so I wasn't tempted to buy them. He said: There are a lot of things I can do for you, but that isn't one of them So, naturally, I just *had* to buy them Hahahahaha Then I went to check out. One of My '' was the only one on the registers. So we talked for a while - it was slow. She had had a baby boy about 4 months ago and we talked about how big he was getting and how healthy he was. She finished ringing Me up and told Me the total and asked Me if I had any coupons. I said: No, not today. She looked at Me and said: It's ok, I got You covered. All of a sudden, the bill was 5 bucks less. I said: Um, I don't want you to get in trouble and she replied: Don't worry about it, with a smile on her face. I just said: Ok So, now I am getting ready to bundle up and brave the cold on the way to the bus 2 blocks away. I decide to get a can of diet cola and sit and ponder the voyage home. I used to buy bottles and bottles of that stuff until the docs said the Nutrasweet is not good for anyone. So I get a can here and there and I am happy with that. I put in My quarter - yes, Krogers can cola in the machine is only a quarter - and .... nothing I banged the machine and nothing. So I saw one of the managers and said: This damned machine just ate My quarter! She gave me a quarter and said here try again. I did. The quarter came back, the can of soda and another one for good measure! I offered her back her quarter and she said: keep it for your trouble. So, I got two cans of soda and a quarter all for 25 cents. Can't beat that I bundled up, headed for the bus and made it home in one piece - with a lot of bags All in all a good shopping experience! Everyone asleep yet? Hahahahaha |
