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...

This Too!

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...

The Political Thing

The political thing I hinted at in my first blog entry is over for now. The signatures have been safely delivered to Bismarck. Anyway, here it is, the North Dakota Shared Parenting Initiative, at http://ndspi.org. Go »

TV crushes

I need to apologize for the rather fangirlish reference in my last goo. I was having a little crush on Marcus Cole when I made the goo... that is my justification. Go »

Frustrated

I just get so frustrated. I want my husband to be happy but the things he's decided will make him happy are completely out of our control (success at music). I wish something good would happen for him finally. Go »

Found things, jerkishness, fuzziness

This morning I found my black pants that have been gone for nigh on a year. They weren't even anywhere weird. They were just on the floor in the closet. Go »

I love waking up early

I got up before 5, took a shower, did a bunch of my fun and addictive getting-free-stuff-on-the-internet activities, had breakfast, and went and found some treasures in Kameo, all before heading out to work at 7:50. That was awesome. We always go to bed before 10 anyway so what's the point hanging around in bed in the morning when I'm not tired. Go »

Weather - the most boring conversational topic?!?

Well, perhaps not if you live in ND, I dunno. There's snow on the ground *and* dandelions in the lawn right now. That's a first, at least in my memory. Go »
