People are messed upI was at Walgreen's at Hertel & Parkside late (9:50) tonight. While I was standing in line at the checkout, I saw a woman stuffing her jacket full of candy in the candy isle. She then gets in line behind me to pay for 1 or 2 things. I couldn't believe it! I think the lady maybe was intoxicated, but that certainly doesn't excuse her. I don't know why I was so stunned, except that, I'm guessing the woman was at least in her mid to late 30's (not exactly a kid anymore) and stealing candy, of all things. I could maybe understand it better if she was swiping some medicine she needed or baby formula or diapers or even real food, but candy? It was too weird.

you wouldn't believe what people steal at my store. Dryer Balls are popular, beef jerky, aspirin (not necessarily the whole box/bottle, but i'll find it opened with a few taken out) it's really ridiculous. Pay for your shit, people.

Yes (e:James) I can confirm that see she is new to this area of the country and she wanted to get Halloween stuff but then she remembered About Sweetest day had just passed so she felt Guilty so she took as much as she could to make up for it.
I know there is a street market for all kinds of things, and there is something with baby formula but I doubt there is one for candy.

It seriously could be someone with a split personality. I think a lot of times split personality types has a child within. Remember Sybil?

Maybe she's diabetic? I dunno. You're right, it is a bit off.

The way people behave often makes me feel sad. I get mad sometimes when i see stuff like this too. Then i wonder what might be wrong with them and start to feel guilty and sorry for them.
But today, seeing some chick driving down the Thruway TEXTING and eating... at 60mph! Well, i wished for a cop... for a change!

There is too much weirdness around sometimes. It sometimes completely catches me off guard as well.

Comic ReliefOK - time for a little comic relief - albeit twisted...
Next year's dancing with the stars duo to watch for:
Also, the chili I made last night - it turned out really good. I used cumin in it, which I've never done before, along with the other spices I usually use. I like it.

Too bad that pair is not to be. One will be running the world and the other will be shoveling snow in Alaska.

Work, home, stuff, etc.My union at work is supposed to be in negotiations tomorrow a.m. with administration. Should be interesting to see how that goes. Would be really nice to get a raise - anything would be better than nothing at this point. The old contract was negotiated through 2003, so we’ve just been operating on that contract since then. I’m not generally a huge union fan but can see that they have their place and I will, of course, be glad if they happen to get me to where I’m at least just a little less behind. Unfortunately, the rules and rigidity often removes some of the opportunity for flexibility you might find in a non-union place.
Took my daughter to get her braces off today - she’s so excited. Her teeth look strangely large without them. Supposed I’ll get used to it again. And, wow, only four more payments to make. Dropped her off at school, went downtown to work, and, I swear, I actually saw a flake of snow while I was still in the parking lot - say it isn’t so... It sure got a whole heck of a lot colder.
Came home from work (late of course), made a big pot of chili (no beans) that we’ll have for dinner tomorrow. Turned up the heat a couple of degrees (all the way to 67); I just couldn’t seem to get the chill out of the air. It usually doesn’t bother me much but today it seems to be going right through me - bbbbuuuuurrrrr.
My mom stopped over, had a bandage on her pinky finger. Asked her what happened; she said she cut herself with some (garden) clippers and had to get 6 stitches - yikes! She makes me nuts sometimes, but I love her. This “sandwich generation†thing is kind of tough. Trying to keep track of your kids and your parents can be challenging. I sometimes think the parents are harder to handle than the kids. The parents tend to be much more unruly and stubborn.
Well, guess that was mostly my exciting day. I have an idea for a Halloween costume but don’t know if I can pull it off, or even if I’ll be able to attend the party. Guess I’ll just have to wait and see.
