For anyone bored enough to be following this, once we could go outside (power outage in the mall above), I couldn't remember where I parked. After about 20 min. I found it.
This experience didn't improve my overall feeling about shopping.
I had to guess where streets were open. Glad to have my phone charging and light again!

MSR - your parking mishap reminded me of my own parking mishap years ago. I was shopping at a huge shopping mall in downtown Toronto called the Eaton Center. It is a huge multi-story shopping mall with multi-story parking garages located on both sides of the mall. After we were done shopping we realized that not only did we not remember which level we had parked on, we couldn't even remember which side of the MALL we had parked on. Talk about a couple of goobers. It took hours to find the car.
It's Easy to Not Remember When Focused on Other Things. Can you repeat what you thought?

Great story, Juneau. I'm wondering if any special words were in your mind or coming out of your mouth? LOL
It's so easy to be thinking of important stuff and forget things we knew. I haven't been to that mall. I've bought some cool things in the Understreet/ Underground Mall in Montreal. It's a cool concept to anyone who hasn't been there.

Yes MSR, there were words spoken. None that I could repeat here though.
One more story about the Eaton Center. I was on my way with my two sons, to the Greyhound station not far from the mall in downtown Toronto. It was the day after Christmas (Boxing Day in Canada) and a VERY busy shopping day. We had taken the subway and gotten off at the Eaton Center stop.
As I was wading through wall-to-wall people with my two little boys (and just trying as quickly as possible to get the hell out of there), they suddenly bolted for a mens' restroom. So I'm standing outside the door of the mens' restroom and I wait and wait and wait. And wait. And while I'm standing there watching one guy after another enter, and two little boys not exiting, I finally grabbed the arm of some unsuspecting guy and forcibly told him that there were two little blond boys inside, and he better tell them to come out NOW, or I'm coming in after them.
They came out less than a minute later. Apparently playing with the hand dryers and flushing the urinals, and enjoying themselves immensely. This was when they were still at the age where they came into the Ladies with me when we were out in public, so they thought it was great fun to actually hit the Mens and play with all the Mens Room stuff.

Oh Juneau, you must post that story somewhere else so more will read it! Maybe in Let's Get Caught Up? I'll post a quick note there which will set the stage for you to copy and post the above, if you want to.
I think a lot avoid this thread as it isn't fun and no one can change events that happened. It served it's purpose as I wouldn't have opened a case otherwise. I learned from your posts, 3 Shepherds and others. I hope no one else here has to do the same.
So let's find a new local thread for you to share that gem of a story as I think it is really funny.

Sure I'll post the story in the Let's Get Caugt Up thread.
In the meantime, I was thinking about your dog today. I found this. Maybe it will bring a smile to you and other dog lovers:
Did anyone else see the news tonight about the female stopped for animal hoarding? There were 50 canines.
I think it was Cheyenne.
Please, if anyone sees that video post it here. One blonde Cocker-looking face looked familiar! I can't say for sure and there were two similar canines in the same cage.
I'll try to find this video elsewhere. The animals have not been processed yet. You can bet your last buck that shelter is getting a call from me. Who knows if they scan for Micro-Chips?
Kimi Page is the hoarder's name. I read an article of a woman in (now I'm blanking on the city-sorry), but she is from CA. Her two canines were abducted FIVE (5) yrs. ago. She was reunited with them over the weekend.
This Kimi Page traveled with 50+ dogs through many states.
Juneau and 3 Shepherds, you may find this video before I do (or others). PLEASE POST as this woman certainly answered one of the questions you asked me in a PM.
Thanks eveyone!

That's Hilarious!
