Damn, everything is dusty and musty in here. I guess if we drink enough, it won't be so bad.

Bartender!

Our Mayor Jack Conrad passed away, not sure if you seen that post, Some folks going through some hard times with loss of family. I myself am not to fond of the new page design. As with anything new though one tends to get use to it I guess.

Ewok - I saw JackBunny's daughter post on FB 😪. It's part of what gave me the urge to touch base with folks in a couple other places.

Delta - I say that no one has the right to tell me whether or not I'm actually lol-ing when I type lol. I may be very reserved and refrain from outward displays of emotion whilst inwardly hooting like a howler monkey...silence can be "loud" too, if you're a sensitive sort! Or, I may be in midway through a complete nervous breakdown and prone to sporadic giggling fits. Or I may burst into Joker-like maniacal laughter for no discernible reason...well...not discernible to *you* MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Or, it may be my equivalent of a sardonic "haaaa." Or I may be chuckling inwardly. Or I may be chuckling outwardly. Or it may have been one of those really embarassing grimace sneezes and I'm trying to salvage my dignity by saying I was laughing. YOU DON'T KNOW ME! YOU DON'T KNOW MY STRUGGLE!
Lol.

I'll take a refill on that Bordeaux, though...thank you!

NapalmMan - snow a couple of times, but nothing that stuck or stayed past noon. Getting colder, though - we're in that weird part of the back half of fall...finter? The part where you don't know from one day to the next if you are going to need your down parka or just a nice warm sweater.

I have watched the early encroachment of Christmas, and thought a line was crossed when Christmas was promoted before Thanksgiving...my reaction to your mention was merely reflexive...apologies


And I have shunned da Wally...I never agreed with any of Wally George's rants on the Hot Seat...in my opinion, da Wally is a blowhard...

Right???
(I have a little Hindu kiddo in my class, actually. His mom is just about the sweetest person Ive ever met - she introduced me to Diwali this year.)

I'd actually love to shun da Wallys, but it's pretty much that or Costco, and I just don't always NEED fifty pounds of baking soda, six heads of romaine lettuce and a pumpkin pie the size of a truck hubcap. I mean, I could pick up DirecTv on the last apple pie I bought there, but once the ice cream went on, the signal went to poo.

What kind of tequila do you guys stock here? I'm in a Patrón silver kind of mood...no lime please. I like it with orange.

Don't judge me.

Years ago I was moonlighting for a Neurologist in Asheville NC. Dr Gupta. She was the one that introduced me to Diwali. It became the subject one night while she and I was having a conversation about culture and cuisine. Man that woman could cook and I will have to admit out of the many neuro docs I have worked with across the US she was one of the few nice ones.

Tequila, I make my own Reposado by aging in my oak barrels. I can only have a drop or two due to meds I take but my wife dearly loves it. I decanted my one liter barrel a few weeks back and have a 5 liter barrel that is due to be decanted but holding off until I have something else to put in the barrel so as not to dry it out. I hope it comes out as good as what was in the one liter because OMG it was so buttery good.

That sounds like it would hit the spot on a madhouse Monday, Ewok!

"Take that out of your mouth."
"Get your hand out of your pants."
Followed by
"Go wash your hands."
"Get your finger out of your nose."
"Do NOT eat that booger, go get a Klee..."
"Seeetheart, we're headed to lunch. I promise you can have chicken nuggets very soon, but I don't want to see another booger go into your mouth between here and the lunch room."
"Why did you lick him? That made your friend sad - you need to apologize now."
"Bobby, what on EARTH are you doing?"
"What is in your hand?"
"What is in your mouth?"
"What is in your nose?"
"Take that out of your nose. Crayons do not belong there."
"Bobby, stop screaming, you are not stuck - you have to unzip your coat to take it off,"
"I'm sorry you don't have a purple crayon. You have eaten one and a half boxes of crayons already - I'm not giving you any more. Choose another color. Pink is a nice color - use pink" (not a joke)
"Jane, did you eat that pink crayon? Go spit that in the garbage - you're going to use colored pencils today."
"I know she said you're not her best friend anymore, but Jesus is everyone's best friend and everyone else is just regular friends so we all have the same best friend and He's way nicer than Ashley."
"I did NOT tell you to tell Ashley that she wasn't a nice friend. Go apologize."
"Bobby, where are your pants?"(yup. Same kid.)
"You need a drink? Honey, you're on the toilet. One thing at a time."
"You need a drink? You just barely walked away from the water fountain. Give it time to soak in."
"You need a drink? We don't get drinks in the middle of the Pledge of Allegiance. We're going to start over, and you need to wait until we're finished."
"You need a drink?
.
.
.
.
.
Me too."

(Names have been changed to protect the "innocent.")

Kracken and coke, please.
And a brownie.

Thank you.

For the first time in 35 years I went to work yesterday without a suit on. No beautiful silk ties, no French cuffs.

I am now the first to great you or the last to thank you for shopping at my local Costco. Less then 10 minutes from home!

Member Service a great job for someone that likes smoozing with people. I don't like people but there're fun to look at and talk to a bit.

No doubt I don't have to put much brain power into it but it's my dream retirement job 3-4 years earlier then planned.

Mrs. Waldo still wants me to find a more lucrative job but I'm going to bust my butt and see if I can get into management. Maybe find a home to take me into retirement.

Woo woo, stop by and I'll draw a cigar smoking smilie on your receipt.

Congrats, man. Costco in CA pays decent, from what I understand.

If you're bored in retirement, you couldn't find a better gig. If you need the income... your aspirations for a management job are well placed.

I've been #3 on the corporal promotion list for 11 months. No corporals have been promoted. I was #16 on the sergeant list... but since they've promoted 10... now I'm #6!!

I'm not sure whether to be happy or depressed at that... I choose happy.

Naperville, most labor intensive day since I was a contractor.
Loading carts at check out.
JD is working on my aching back as I type, best part was the 20 yo female cashier I worked with, I had to ring all the booze so she liked having me close, lol.
By break time she was telling some customers I was her grandpa. Too funny.

Day 4

Because I flew quite a bit I thought airports were great for people watching. They got nothing on Costco.

What a social-economic-race and religion too mix of consumers. I don't care I make them all smile as they leave.

Outside of my right knee still complaining (I seem to be trying to rotate on it) I'm alive and feeling pretty dang well for a 63yo standing all day.

Managers often look a bit intense but just about everyone else looks to be happy there.

Let's see how I feel after this weekend!
