Monday, February 15

You know, I think sometimes its a good idea if we all step back and kind of try to "observe" our own selves.  I mention this because I was leavin the mall the morning ( after a vigourous mall walk with the other retirees) and was walking to my car within ear shot of this younger couple.  You could tell that they were really not agreeing about what they were talking about.  The topic was - wait for it - the proper way to handle the dog's poop.  The girl wanted to go to pet smart to get little dog poop bags.  The boy said that those bags were not very ecological ( seriously?  people actually worry about this?) and suggested that they just use the plastic bags from the grocery store.  This back and forth seriously went on until I had to leave them to get into the safety of my car.  I wish my biggest concern was how to dispose of dog shit ecologically.  So just think about it, as you are going through your day and other people can overhear you, how important is the dog poop anyway?

I also got new tires today.  I explained to them no less that 4 times that I had no job and I was only getting new tires today, but of course my car needs an alignment too,because aparently the $500 dollars I was spending wasn't enough.  I looked the guy dead in the eye and said I have no job. I just want the tires.  You would have thought that would have stopped him.  But no, he offered me a credit card.  That is wrong on so many different levels I don't even know where to start. What kind of person suggests a credit card to someone with no real way to pay it???  Would he really make that much commission for suggesting I spend another $60?
