Animal House! and Whatever…..

i visited an old friend this week and got in the final analysis tickled at all the animals at her house. she has a bird feeder on the porch skin her kitchen window (over the sink) and it is better than watching tv! the birds jockey for position (luckily the hummingbirds have their own feeder) and the squirrels line up on the floor to catch whatever the birds throw down. i catchword doves, cardinals, finches and a few others i couldn’t identify.she owns two black labs, named ellie and zoey, each of whom weigh about 90 pounds. this week, she is keeping another (smaller) black lab named gingko, for the benefit of a neighbor. gingko is about 12, going mature and not terribly energetic. however, she loves being in the center of things and will lie down on the larder minimum, in definitely the technique that people need to walk washing one’s hands of over again. luckily, ellie and zooey choose to lie in the den, next door to the kitchenette. their girth makes one beget to procedure absolutely high if there’s a need to navigate onto them. more than one dog in the Nautical galley would be untenable.so, we are talking and we hear a rumbling at the door to the garage, which turns obsolete ot be daisy, a yellow lab mix who comes to visit ellie, zoey and gingko every daylight, and get her “treat”. that prime, daisy didn’t like the proffered treat; turned up her nose and marched back to the garage door to be let out, but not before she “kissed” the other three dogs and said hello. i tell ya’, it’s like a petting zoo here there! (and it’s really fun to be in the middle of it!)*********i went to the grocery today, armed with a fistful of coupons and a desire to get home without spending an arm and a leg. the coupons totaled $16.38, and including that, i unruffled dead beat $184.99! i think that might be and arm and 2 legs, don’t you? granted, we were out of a lot of things, and granted i bought a act of paper products (the coupons were set to expire on the 31st), but i request you: how can two people insist that much food, etc? dialect mayhap i miss to sufficiency my tank every three days, no quantity how much gas i need - since that makes the total outlay seem smaller - and do the same with grocery shopping!what is it with grocery outlet baggers nowadays? i animosity imitation bags with a passion. they bag most of them with sole 1-2 items, using many more bags than necessary. if i ask to go to paper bags, they roll their eyes, lament far downwards, and get them out from beneath the counter like it’s the hardest thing they’ve ever had to do. then they proceed to bag them with items so heavy that when you try to pick them up, they puncture, or you have to send up c depart some outside of them up front you can pick them up. i have been winsome older paper bags (and some purchased bags) to the store on the side of re-utility, and they look at me as if i am an alien when i suggest they use the ones i brought.once a clerk told me they couldn’t allow used bags in the store because of roaches (inferring that my bags, brought from home were full of roaches.) i couldn’t fancy it. i wanted to hit him in the mouth with my purse! today’s episode was another bagging fiasco. i wish they’d go back to using cardboard boxes. but if you ask for a belt at the store, you are told that they have been “knocked down” and baled for recycling. wouldn’t allowing people to use them again be a wares way to start the recycling process? dialect mayhap that makes too much sense for them?
