Or do you just dump everything out?

In our store, the checkout person actually removes stuff from your cart, scans it, and sends it down the belt to the bagger at the far end.

I ushered tonight for the 249th birthday of the Army. It was a last-minute gig. Afterwards, they were showing the original Hairspray on the Plaza. The movie wasn’t supposed to start until 9, but by the time I got out there, there was only 30 minutes left. Gleefully perverse. Perfect cast. Divine, Ricki Lake, Debbie Harry, Ruth Brown, Pia Zadora. So good.

Now visiting Shake Shack for the first time.

The burger was decent. The bacon on it was excellent. It came in a lettuce wrap. The shake is only okay.

So you're telling us that the Shake Shack's shake was shaky?

singdaw · « **Reply #127 on:** June 14, 2024, 07:18:21 PM »

Shade!

I don't have it in me to take us to the next page, I'm afraid.

Tomorrow I have to attend a wedding I don't want to go to.

singdaw · « **Reply #130 on:** June 14, 2024, 07:20:10 PM »

In a location an hour and half away.

singdaw · « **Reply #131 on:** June 14, 2024, 07:20:34 PM »

The only saving grace is that I'm not invited to the reception.

singdaw · « **Reply #132 on:** June 14, 2024, 07:21:05 PM »

So, apart from the driving time, it won't be a big commitment.

singdaw · « **Reply #133 on:** June 14, 2024, 07:21:17 PM »

At least, that's what I'm telling myself.

singdaw · « **Reply #134 on:** June 14, 2024, 07:21:35 PM »

And I am telling you, I'm ~~not~~ going.

singdaw · « **Reply #135 on:** June 14, 2024, 07:21:57 PM »

Good night, friends.

If someone has invited you to a wedding that requires you to drive for more than an hour, but doesn't think enough of you to invite you to the reception, is it truly mandatory that you go? And since you're not invited to the reception, wouldn't that make it all right to ignore giving a wedding gift?

If I don't want to go to something my conscience makes me believe I should, rationalizing the situation as I did above would guarantee my absenteeism.

"Oh! We so want you to see us get married, and we know it's a 'drive' for you, but we won't detain you with the reception because we are doing a small one with selected friends/relatives. You understand, I'm sure!"

No...no punch, no cake, no mingling? NO GOING.

I cast shade on the Shake Shack shake.

The right decision. Miss Manners suggests a handwritten note wishing the couple all the best. If you feel do inclined.

I’m reclined right now.

Rehearsal went very well - much smoother and everyone knew their words. The way we like it.

Only eighteen seats left for the show.

Good evening

I just finished enjoying far too many potato chips with onion dip

In totally unrelated news I seem to be having difficulty losing unwanted pounds

We still have no landline telephone

The phone company is sending a guy tomorrow

It was a beautiful day today, high 80’s with a slight breeze

vixmom · « **Reply #148 on:** June 14, 2024, 08:24:53 PM »

I was asked to do a closing “out east” so I had a lovely drive if about an hour or so each way with the radio playin* and the window open

Five seats.
