How about that?<br /><br />I had some guess-the-race try to steal my liquor in the check out line. I'd already paid for my hooch in the liquor store, and I passed the bag to the cashier who put it aside. The guy in front of me had been casually screwing around, and when he reached over to collect his bagged up groceries, he went for my liquor first.<br /><br />The cashier and I spoke in unison, "That's not yours!" He left my booze and left the store. The cashier smiled at me, and said, "He knew that wasn't his."<br /><br />I laughed it off, and when I got home I scanned my receipt and sent a letter of recommendation to the store manager, explaining what happened.<br />Mad Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190137186843630543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531929769862216250.post-6666556687926613032018-05-04T16:32:34.954-04:002018-05-04T16:32:34.954-04:00Mad Jack:

I prefer CCs, but have certain cards for certain purchases with different credit limits.<br />(technically, I could get a new car on credit, but...)<br />You have some good tips listed.<br />A shame when you go "paperless", THIS becomes an all-too-common result.<br /><br />For what it's worth, I'm relieved that you got things sorted out.<br />And YES, we have parents who have NO FRIGGIN IDEA how to raise up a child.<br /><br />Roll safe (and have a snort on me) out there.Bob G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09222203353717749897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531929769862216250.post-72645828442603624612018-05-04T11:42:25.802-04:002018-05-04T11:42:25.802-04:00Ain't that the truth.

A pile of deer hides was sitting just outside the processing facility, and appeared to be unwanted castoffs. Albert wanted to take a few, tan 'em, and sew a deerskin jacket. Shotgun Bob nixed it.<br /><br />"Why? Nobody wants 'em."<br /><br />"Because we don't take things that don't belong to us. I'll bring you back when the plant's open and we can ask the owner if he wants those hides or not."<br /><br />I can see Albert's point, but Shotgun Bob is right. I don't believe enough parents are raising their children the way my brother is raising Albert.<br />Mad Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190137186843630543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531929769862216250.post-49782729635440540512018-05-03T18:40:32.656-04:002018-05-03T18:40:32.656-04:00Sorry to hear this.
