I have always had a soft spot in my heart for military personel. Perhaps because I know what its like to be 9000 miles from home and being shot at and hated by people you don't even know for a cause you are not even sure of.
Last night while in Wal-Mart doing what I hate most {shopping at wal mart} I came to the check out line behind a young woman dressed in what looked like military clothes. As she emptied her cart she turned slightly towards me and I could see an insignia on her collar. I couldn't bear it any more. I had to ask "excuse me miss, are you in the military? "
"Air Force", she replied.
"Forgive me for not recognizing the insignia. I am not fimiliar with their ranks." I told her.
She smiled and paid for her goods with a debit card and fished in her pocket for cash to pay for something else. She kept digging for some change she was short and I handed her a dollar. She looked at me kinna shocked and I said "please take it, and also take my thanks"
"I don't understand" she replied
"thank you for your service to our country" was my answer. "and have a happy holiday too"
She accepted and went along with her buggy and I started getting my stuff.
Well, WTF, I may have some Christmas spirit left in me after all.
I have begun getting senior discounts at most places I frequent. I am not sure if this is a good thing or not but it puts extra money in my pocket.
Most places start giving discounts at 55. I am 53. Close enough? I think so.
I wonder if Steven Tyler and Joe Perry accept their senior discount?
I wonder if they have them in the UK? If so, I wonder if Mick jagger or Keith Richards accept theirs?
What scares me most is my generation is coming to power. Hell hath no fury like the generation that has been scorned. Look out D.C.. We are kicking your asses.
I spent all afternoon in the hot sun trying to get my Toyota pick-up to start. After finally getting that accomplished I spent 30 more minutes getting the presets back on my radio because I can't see the dial. I had to take the battery loose and caused the presets to be lost. So I took the pick-up for a test drive and stopped in a store for a cold drink. I didn't realize at the time but I was covered in dirt and grease not to mention sweat. So a guy with a bad New Yorker accent was coming out as I was going in. He asked me; "have you labored?" and I replied "no I didn't realize I was pregnant."
