Chik-Fil-A is fast becoming the newest target of my disdain.

I like their breakfast offerings, but the place is simply slammed with customers when I go to get a meal. I downloaded their app, which promises an ability to order through your phone, walk-in, pickup the order and leave. Panera seems to have the right idea with this, btw.

Oh, but Chik-Fil-A cannot be kind enough just to offer you the service. Noooooooo. They force you to purchase one of their gift cards to be able to order online.

Jerks.

At our "supermarket" here, not allowed to take the carts out to the parking lot. You have to transfer to a different "cart", if you can find one. The plastic bags are all stuck together! You have to show your receipt to a guard when you leave....

My dog hates wearing her sweater and tries to rub it off against walls and such, if I'm not paying attention to tell her to knock it off.

So, I wasn't paying attention and she rubbed big holes in her sweater and now my dog looks like a ghetto dog when I put it on her and take her for walks.

If you own it and feel you might use it, don't you need to get a license?

Not all states require a license to own a gun. Oregon, where that person is from, does not require a license to own a gun.

This is so timely - the other evening, I had a few girlfriends over to watch Calendar Girls and talk smack, and I opened my cabinet to see Thanksgiving napkins with autumn leaves on them, beckoning me to use them.

I also had some cute napkins that said, "It's not a party unless there's cake," and I would have liked to use those, but we didn't have any cake so they didn't seem to quite fit the occasion.

But now I'm worried that both types of napkins are just going to get wrinkled up and be unused and unusable within a few months.

But hope springs eternal, because I also found some really cute Peter Rabbit napkins left over from last Easter and they still looked good - and it's almost time to break those out again.

I had never bothered counting before because it was done sort of piecemeal but, due to a number of reasons, yesterday was Christmas Breakdown Day done all at once so I counted the crates.

Mrs. NBP has 18 crates of decorations she puts out. Eighteen (18) crates of that crap. Half of the shed is filled with them with the rest having to be stored off site taking up 1/3 of the storage locker.

And she wonders why I hate Christmas.

And today is Spring Decorating Day, which entails more crates.

Ha!

Apparently I rashly gave away my huge bag of Mardi Gras beads and now I wish I had them back because I am Mardi Gras decorating and I need to throw them in my bushes.
