What did you buy this week?

[MoKelly]

Thank goodness for cashiers that can't do math.
Went to Mark's Work Warehouse, guessing only in Kanuckistan, to get a coat, big sale going on.
Found one for $69.99 less 25%. We have 13% sales tax. In my head I had calculated just under $60. I have my 3 $20 in my hand She says $79 and change.
What? No.
It's on sale. She goes checks the rack. Sign in wrong place but she'll let me have it with discount.
She comes up with$75 dollars.
Wrong.
Give me a pen and paper. I show her it's $59.32.
Back to the till. Comes up with a different number. Blames the computer.
Lineup behind me building.
She's flustered, admits she can't do math.
Re-enters the jacket again. Now it's coming up $38 taxes in.
She lets me have it.
Bonus today is every purchase gets a free pair of copper sole polar socks that sell for $15 a pair.
She wasn't even blonde.
I also got a $5 credit on my points card for purchases over $60.

Great story.

No doubt the cashier should be paid a “living wage” for all her hard work.

Picked up a pressure washer at TSC, it was on sale, made in USA.

Expanded the shop by adding a 12' X 20' office/stained glass design studio (she-shed). Added a sink with hot/cold water for cleaning the glass projects after soldering and a heater for the 30' X 40' main shop to keep the new plumbing from freezing. Plus side is now my small part of the shop is heated.

Humph!!! Bought my Christmas present two days ago. Oral surgery - had a wisdom tooth removed. It was quick - it's completely painless - it's expensive.

I'm now in the recovery phase. However - it's certainly nice to no longer have all that pain.

Thank goodness - that was my last one. Over the last ten years they have all given me trouble and have been removed. I had just settled in for a long gruesome bought on this last one. The oral surgeon looked down at me and said - " ALL DONE". Was I EVER surprised. He had showed me the x-ray and this tooth had a very twisted, gnarly root system. It took him LESS THAN three minuets to get that tooth out. Money well spent.

I have four teeth left TOTAL. I'll be glad when they're gone.
Dentures are great...until I sneeze!
