Welcome To Case's Column
Let me say a big welcome to all of you for joining me here. I'm going to call these blog meetings Case's Column. I wanted to use "Corner", but that was already taken.
Since 2008, it's been a real privilege to come on here and share some of my life with you, and it's a big world where we live.
In these blogs, I'll just speak whatever is on my mind, but we will be playing within the rules here. I may pick a particular topic, point out an event, or shoot the breeze. I'm a little bit of an essayist at times, so I'll just speak what's on my mind, and I might tell a story or two. Or, I might spew out an opinion or three. There will be some serious moments, some tender, some poignant, but there will also be those moments that you'll just bust out laughing. But, hopefully, everything will be in good fun here. And, of course, there's a place below for your comments and thoughts as we go along here. So feel free to join me for the ride -- I sure as heck hope I'm doing this right and not making any mistakes.
Thanks for taking your time in reading Case's Column. Hopefully, you'll enjoy being entertained by it as much as I've enjoyed putting these writings together. And thanks for the time you spend in City-Data.com, where it's great to be alive!
Regards,

Bogus Dates On Coupons --- Can The Coupon Last Forever?
Posted 10-27-2017 at 09:47 PM by case44
In my mail, not too long ago, came some great things from the donut shop. I probably get something like this every other month or so, but in this latest offering, I saw something very unusual about these that no one else might have caught any other time.
Now, it takes human beings to type stuff in whenever coupons or any other printed material happen. And this had to be the work of a human being (Well, you know, we are human beings and not fake-oids), for these particular coupons had an expiration date of..............
Are you ready for this?
I checked out how long these coupons for the donut shop will last, and they read a date of November 31st. That's right. November the thirty-first!! Except there's a problem, and I'm pretty sure you'll venture a guess as to what it is. The last time any of us checked, there are only thirty (30) days in November. So, with that date printed on, does that mean that this writer, or anyone in possession of these coupons, can have discounts forever and never actually expire?? November 31 could be equated to the twelfth of Never. A bogus date might lend itself to a little flexibility or some type of validation of a never-ending offer for kolaches and donuts.
Nevertheless, while everybody ponders that eternal question, I might as well take advantage before a date occurring sometime before.
