I hate those HUGE irrigation pipe sized straws that they give you with cokes now at most places. Really? I don't need the entire drink to be consumed with one pull on the straw~argh!!! <strong>THEY WERE ABOUT TO POP OUT ... FOR REAL. IT WAS THE EQUIVALENT OF DRINKING THROUGH A STIR STRAW. I'M CONVINCED THAT THE THEORY BEHIND THE BIG STRAWS IS THAT YOU DRINK MORE SO YOU'LL BUY MORE. WHEN I HAVE A SMALLER STRAW MY COKE LASTS A LOT LONGER.

Funny and then again not funny. Maybe you shouldn't have TV for a little while. Hey you can go swimming now since you do not have TV. :) Hope it gets better. Cyndi <strong>I'VE BEEN WITHOUT TV FOR A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AND IT FEELS LIKE FOREVER. IF I HAVE ANYMORE PROBLEMS I'M CONSIDERING DITCHING THE DISH AND JUST GOING WITH LOCAL CHANNELS.

I am sorry...I have laughed very much over all of this stuff. I know it is frustrating and not really funny. But you know me. I laugh. It is what I do! :) Maybe we need to get out in the parking lot and do a sacrifice of some kind to erase the curse. Maybe start a big bonfire and throw some laptops in it. I have a HUGE printer that is making me absolutely insane at work right now...it would probably serve as an appeasement for the technology gods. No wait...since it isn't working that would probably just make them even more angry. Hmmm.... I need to rethink this! ;-) I thought November would be a better month...guess we'll aim for December now instead! <strong>YOU'RE GOING TO THINK I'M LYING, BUT ... I GOT HOME TONIGHT AND HAD YET ANOTHER RECEIVER WAITING ON MY DOORSTEP. I START GOING THROUGH THE SET UP PROCESS AND EVERYTHING IS GOING GREAT ... AND SUDDENLY ... IT SHUTS OFF AND REBOOTS ITSELF. EXACTLY WHAT THE FIRST OF 4 REPLACEMENTS WAS DOING. SO ... FINALLY THEY DETERMINED MAYBE THEY NEED TO SEND A TECHNICIAN OUT HERE. I WAS ABOUT TO TELL THEM TO JUST FORGET IT.

One day the sweetest girl gave me a dollar too much change. I couldn't get her attention to give it back to her right then so I left, but knew I would see her again. The next time she was my carhop, I gave her the dollar and told her she had given me too much change awhile back. She looked at me with a strange expression and said "I did?" I said "Yep, but I knew I'd see you eventually to make it right". She walked off with the same flabbergasted expression on her face. The "you must be crazy" expression. <strong>THAT'S FUNNY. I'M SURE SHE WAS SHOCKED THAT YOU STILL GAVE IT BACK AFTER ALL THAT TIME, ESPECIALLY OVER $1.

I had a basket full of groceries and paid out. When I got to my car I realized that I had Addy's dog food on the bottom of the cart and forgot to pay for it. I was annoyed at having to go back, but knew it was the only thing I could really do. The greeter at the door looked at me like I was a freak as did the lady at the check out counter. You almost expect people to thank you for doing the right thing, but when you get the "You're a freak" look it's kind of a let down! <strong>I GUESS IF WE'RE GOING TO BE FREAKS IT MIGHT AS WELL BE FOR DOING SOMETHING GOOD, RIGHT? </strong> That happened to me only a few weeks ago at Wal-Mart.
