Would you like the receipt with you, or in the bag?
by Denise Sawicki on November 8, 2006

I don't really understand why people ask this. Doesn't it take longer to ask this question and wait for the answer than to just let the person do what they please with the receipt? Oh well.
I will think about that in lieu of the local election results which have my husband pretty depressed. It seems like everything happens in this world specifically to depress him. I don't like it either but I was too busy working at my regular job to be able to spend too much time campaiging for this thing.

Well, you want to know where your receipt is in case you have to bring something back...

Another receipt pet peeve....happens to the best of us.

I never really noticed or minded until you mentioned this a few weeks ago, Denise, and now I notice and mind (just a little bit) every time. It happens a lot at the corner Walgreen's for me, and that's a place where people get curmudgeonly about their returns without receipts, so maybe the store has instituted a policy of forcing the clerk to ask such an awkward question every time so all parties present know where the receipt went. Or, maybe people are just dumb.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe Walgreen's actually has a full-refund-if-they-don't-offer-your-receipt-back-at-time-of-purchase policy...

Our dog is smart
Our sheltie, Philip, is really smart. Here is his latest Oscar-worthy film, where he shows off his ability to mimic Darrell doing the following actions: turn a circle, stretch, sneeze, lie down, roll over (partway), hop, and speak: link Philip also knows how to read a few words, kind of, though I think he gets bored with it :-). Currently he's in school for agility, which entails learning how to run around a course jumping hurdles and using tunnels and seesaws in a prescribed manner. Go »
Chair
Over the weekend we went to Mills Fleet Farm to pick up the specific present my dad wanted for his birthday. I doubt you have the Fleet Farm in the more "civilized" parts of the world but it is a bit like a Walmart with the addition of things like calf medicine, saddles, fence posts, and a huge amount of hardware, machinery, building supplies, etc. I mostly stick to the more Walmart-like areas of the store, except for that one time when I built a fence :).

D&D first impressions
So our books came yesterday and I've been reading the Dungeon Master's guide as scheduled while Darrell's been reading the Player's Handbook. It's quite obvious I am going to have to read the Player's Handbook too since there is not so much actual useful information in the DM guide. It has lots of pages about different playing styles, how to handle different personalities in your group, and weird stuff like how to write cryptograms, but not so much useful data on the actual rules.
