disturbing trend seen shopping

wake, nap, eat 50 eggs, nap, wake, see GI specialist, surgery, check out, cocktails, night-night

You forgot check LDL and HDL's.

How about the trend of tourists that feel the entire group must go shopping? I understand a couple of people with perhaps a list of likes/dislikes much like my family did years ago, but an entire family of 10-20 people clogging Publix on a Saturday afternoon? I guess the reason this came to mind is that most all of them have cell phones, couldn't a smaller group go and text/call on a cell phone with any questions?

I hate that. I know what you are talking about. We are tourists there but it is just my husband and myself. And you cannot get to anything down any aisle in Publix hardly on a Saturday afternoon for what you said, you see everyone in the vacation party together in the store. Two could be shopping while the others are unpacking at the place they are staying or are out on the beach, etc. And saying excuse me does absolutely no good, they totally don't pay attention to you wanting to get a loaf of bread, etc. where they are standing and they aren't about to move.

Have you seen the motorized shopping carts with cupholders?

Here is a story --

Many many years ago, before Bdarg and I were married, he challenged me on several of my shortcomings. :roll:

Anyway, apparently I used the word "can't" quite a bit, when actually "won't" was more appropriate. There were certain things that I didn't want to do due to laziness, apathy, whatever.

So - he told me that my "can't" attitude would someday manifest itself inside of me and turn me into a big fat lazy woman who would have to use the motorized cart at the grocery store.

I immediately had the mental picture of me, with my butt hanging off either side of the seat, throwing that motorized shopping cart in reverse, and backing up like a big ol' dump truck. Beep beep beep. :shock: Loading my cart full of cookies and soda pop, and endruing the scorn of the skinny workout moms in their cute workout clothes. It was truly a come to Jesus moment.

I know that at some point in my life I may need some motorized wheels in the grocery store, but it will only be if I am injured or ill. Just shoot me if my only reason to ride is because I am a lazy larda$$.

Thank you Bdarg.;-)

Skunky is reading over my shoulder and doubting the validity of this story. "There is no way BDarg said that," says Skunky.

I was thinking the exact same thing... punzy (is that you?).

um. no comment on this one...



BTW, I have had to use a motorized thingy in the grocery store with one leg in a cast and carrying an infant in a sling. everyone stares even though they try not to. "poor woman with an infant". pleeeze. I was just tired of NOT getting out, so I just starting going and doing my own dang shopping. BUT, I cannot imagine trying to shop in an electric cart while talking on the cell phone - VERY dangerous. much like people driving cars, I might add.

Bobby-baby - it ain't the cart. its the cell phone. people are out of control with them. why do they need to talk on the phone while shopping anyway? pleeeeeeeeeeeeeZe. I can understanding needing to call and check on an item with your partner. but otherwise, just driving the cart down aisles is difficult enough.
