She told me she had lost her other shoe in a hole and her toes were suddenly very cold. <BR/><BR/>I believe she must have stepped in a time/dimension portal. <BR/><BR/>It all makes so much sense to me now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-79545070879771369702007-12-22T12:08:00.000-05:002007-12-22T12:08:00.000-05:00I went to Menards this morning to purchase earth s...I went to Menards this morning to purchase earth saving, electric bill reducing flourecent light bulbs. I'm officially green.<BR/><BR/>The sale paper said two packs of four for $15 but the total came up to $17 and I questioned it. The girl physically rang a bell and I was on hold. I apologized to the customer right behind me.<BR/><BR/>Another girl walked up with a sale paper and proved me wrong and I bent and just paid the asking price.<BR/><BR/>About 10 feet later on my way out the door I was accosted by some dork wearing a yellow Menards vest demanding to see the contents of my bag and my receipt.<BR/><BR/>Too bad I didn't have my camera.<BR/><BR/>Happy Happy, Erin!!!Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543709819692124443noreply@blogger.com
