Earlier today I had a really nice lunch with a friend and did a lot of walking in a botanical garden. I didn't get lost (much), though it was very convenient that they had maps available. Even with the map, sometimes I wasn't always sure where we were: not everything is on the map.

This friend's cat ate a string and she's worried about the guy. Anybody have cats that ate string? Do they poop it out ok?

I worked tonight. My friends are jealous that I have a job. Tonight's show was the summer-school algebra class graduation. I have no idea what it was about except that they gave certificates and coffee mugs. They didn't need us to pay attention, so we didn't.

Coming home, my husband isn't here. Huh. He's always here. Sent a text asking where he was and a few minutes later I remembered tonight he was at softball and it's a late game. It's odd to not have him here. He's home now.

This is true.

That said, nothing qualifies me to have a successful business except for the fact that I have a unique product and good presentation. Unqualified doesn't mean disqualified. Make some cupcakes - or whatever you like making - try them out on friends. Try a farmer's mkt. See if people will give you money for them. Hire someone else to make them and spend all the money you make. (I've done all but the second part of the last step - HA!)

Spoiled for gross factor -

Spoiler:
From experience, it will pass. However, it might need a bit of help, because it won't pass all at once, depending on the length. They might, um, drag it behind 'em a bit until ya grab hold and pull while trying not to gag. If there is too much resistance, then trim it off and repeat as each section passes. It is really not a pleasant experience, especially for the unfortunate human. Oh, and I will also say that it's not exactly clean either - ya know how rock candy made??? I'll leave it at that.

Wear rubber gloves.

Be careful too. It can get caught in their intestines.

And also ask the SO to take care of it. ;)

Ken just remarked, "That was not a good day..."

LOL!!

From experience with dogs who eat the stuffing from their toys, and kleenex, and..

It passes. Sometimes grossly intact.

By the time I got a printed receipt the error had already been corrected. With the numbers involved I have to assume that a glass got scanned twice, but it was nowhere to be seen on the summary screen. That's the weirdest part, I looked at his screen and saw two lines - $39.80 and $32.95 with $82.70 as the total on the bottom. That's what made it so fishy.

They were in my handbag last I looked. Now where did I leave it? And where did I leave that Phillip chap?

Last year sometime I posted about a problem I was having getting a refund from Sprint. I finally gave up. Then I found an interview with Sprint's CEO and he mentioned the name of the executive in charge of customer service. A few weeks ago I sent a letter to the customer service guy and copied the CEO. I explained that even though I was happy with my phone and my phone service I didn't plan to renew my contract because I'd been unable to resolve the refund issue. Well, now they're calling me. Ha! The woman who's working on it even apologized when she called me Tuesday for not calling Monday because she was on jury duty.
