Soon I'm going to start my halloween bows. Does anyone else here make hairbows?
Yay, I think it worked....have to resize all of my extra-large files for everything though....
My DH is one of those individuals that forget every special occasion... which irks the bleep out of me... he forgets our anniversary even when I tell him... ok no problem... every year for his birthday and Christmas I make a huge play and ONLY way I get anything is if I go out and buy it for myself and wrap it... so I have something to open up... errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...... this is for the past 8 years... WTF!?! So I make mention of it and he continues to say well I don't know what to buy for you... yada, yada, yada... but yet makes sure his mom gets her birthday gift on her birthday... whatever.. Even on his b-day I ordered an Ipad, case, and keyboard for it... without prompting from him... what the hell!! Sorry off my soapbox...

Maybe I can try while on vacation... Last year when I was here, I had a few good runs at this target.. Went this morning and there was only 1 cashier.. she wasn't very friendly, but I was really just getting some food stuff.. Went by the KM here to use some toy coupons.. Cashiers freaked out with them. Read every word and then verified that they could take them.. it was a hassle I tell ya.
That's Mavis's birthday!!
otherwise, I'll be having all kinds of thoughts... and we don't own any durex, and the doc said that if I'm not on "full pelvic rest"for 6 weeks, there'd be a high likelihood that theyd see me back in 9 mos!!
So DS ended up with some chipped paint, very bruised feelings, a $210 ticket and 2 points off his license. He is such a tender heart, was crying when we got home. The gal that called the cops? No damage, actually told the officer that her car must be made of steel, this was her third accident, and still no damage! Twatwaffle.
Ank-Sorry Mavis is congested-my kids were total snot factories when they were babies and the only thing that helped were the Vicks plug-in vaporizer things. They are waterless things that look just like a nightlight and you just plug them in and put a little menthol strip thing inside it. They last all night and make a huge difference!
Somebody was looking for book rec's?? Sorry I can't remember who-I got distracted by twatwaffles. I just finished Nick Hornby's A Long Way Down and LOVED it!! Very entertaining/funny book about 5 people all trying to kill themselves. Trust me, it's fantastic.
Teacher supplies-You guys all know I'm a teacher, so I'm biased. Let me just say this: when you hear about teachers spending money out of their own pockets for classroom supplies, it's not pocket change they're spending--it's easily in the hundreds. That is all.
I didn't realize last night's drama was about posting links to coupons. I foolishly thought the hammer was falling on the beggars. Silly me.
I've had 4 Sobes today (trying to drink up the ones with black lids before the promo ends)---Now I'm a little worried about high concentrations of the vitamins in those things. Am I going to wake up with a second head?
Yay, I think it worked....have to resize all of my extra-large files for everything though....
I got 1 box of apples (in the toy story box), 1 bag of MP russett potatoes, 1 bag of salad, 2 containers with the grapes & cheese, etc. Now, I know that may not be necessarily "produce" but it does have grapes in it so I figured I'd try.
So I go to checkout and there's only one cashier in the entire store and she's this old witchy looking woman. I hand her my 1/2 dr. pepper coupon and she's like "I don't know if I can accept this because it has two sides." What?
So then she sets it aside and scans my first two produce coupons, then voids them off, and tells me she doesn't remember produce in my order. I remind her of the apples and she says "that isn't produce cause it was in a box." Well exactly what does that mean?
I ended up telling her forget it, total me out, let me pay, and I am going to GS for a missed stack of coupons. I pay and head over there. This young guy is working and he says "yeah, sometimes our cashiers don't know what to do so I'll set you up. Now, on these bath coupons, you bought towel racks at 3.00?" I sad "yeah" and I KNEW I was busted. I knew he would adjust them down. He scanned my produce but wouldn't take the last 3 (only the first two) because he said that's the policy on those. ???? Whatever. I'm just standing there waiting for him to finish thinking about how I wasted all that ink for nothing and I was mad cause I wanted my overage.
He's done and hands me 43.xx
He let the home bath go through at 10 each.
It was just too good to be true:

Oh, I'm sorry that must feel awful....maybe around those days you could ut out pics of what you would like and leave them in strategic places.
Sounds like a cop out excuse to me., on his part Have you tried explaining to him on on a non event time how much it means to you and how hurt you are ?
Only other thing I can think of is give him a dose of his own medicine.
I am up to 7 towels now and I need moooooore.

I do! Love making them!! Wish my girls loved wearing them as much as I like making them...
My DH gives me the same lame excuse. Claims I never give him any ideas. So I did it up big for him and DIDN'T get myself anything (which I normally do, same as you). I think that sunk in more than anything!!!

LIFE IN THE 1500's *
The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s:
Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.
Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water.The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water.
Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying.. It's raining cats and dogs.
There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house.This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.
< b> The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying, Dirt poor. The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entranceway. Hence the saying a thresh hold.
(Getting quite an education, aren't you?)
In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme, Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old..
Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could bring home the bacon. They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and chew the fat.
Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.
Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the upper crust.
Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a wake.
England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard sh ift.) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be, saved by the bell or was considered a ...dead ringer.
And that's the truth. Now, whoever said History was boring ! ! !

I failed at target, no towels for me, I couldn't find any for $9.99 and didn't think I'd get away with the cheaper ones
