    About that... ^^^^^

    Pat shows up a bout 2:30 this afternoon. Grass is too wet to mow so Barb and I are going to paint the corral. Pat asked what we are doing. I tell him we are painting the corral. Pat asks why and are you joking. The place will sell itself so why waste time and money on paint and painting. I tell him by doing something that is cheap, a little effort and makes the farmstead look better will help sell itself for more.

    My two other sisters take a break from in the house and come out to help us paint. We keep getting tiny sprinkles that didn't amount to anything. Pat whines a little. I am trying really hard not to call him a puss. He whines a little more. My one sister looks at him, rolls her eyes and says," Pat it's mom looking down from heaven and crying because we all are making her place look pretty. She is so happy she is showing us with her tears.".

    I said, " Hey Pat doesn't that make you feel warm and fuzzy inside knowing you are making mom happy. Every day off from work, you should be out here doing something that would make mom happy.". Pat looks at me and says," If you guys aren't here, I am not coming out here to work by myself.".

    So much for not seeing a problem and fixing it. Much easier to not even look for a problem. Life is bliss that way.

    We did have a good time though. Lots of laughs.

    Son and friend do the right thing last night and now are party of a homicide investigation.
    They are leaving the lake and notice a person slumped over in their car. Go to see if they are OK., nope! Call 911. Until a cause is found on an unusual death it's automatically a homicide. It was a middle aged person and looked to be well off. It unnervered him a bit,the person looked like someone he had known that passed.

    I drank coffee for years without an issue till last year, it was on an empty stomach and then it was real empty. Sucks to get old when a cup of coffee kicks your ass.

    Drop wife off at Ollie's. Then I go to Sam's Club & Best Buy to drop off some returns and purchase a few things (I intentionally take my time). Come back to get wife...and she's still shopping... ugh! Drives me nuts!!!

    When you need two luggage carts to get your luggage to your room, get your dumb ass back out there and return the luggage carts to the lobby.

    Make a choice- your coupons or the self-check out lanes. It's one or the other, you twat.

    At Schnucks you can do both, clip digital coupons from their app on items you wish to buy. Enter phone number at self-check out, select yes and they are automatically applied then pay.

    I rarely use coupons though, I usually go for specific items, rather than let coupons dictate what I want to buy.

    yeah but there are store coupons and then there are manufacturer coupons.
    I just wanted to buy some whiskey and I had to wait 5 minutes while the 'cashier' that oversees all the self checks had to manually enter in about 20 coupons.

    I'd have been complaining about a half empty bottle of whiskey and needing to grab a different one. :lol:
