A Trip to the Grocery Store

OK, so sometimes I rant a little. Here goes for any who cares.

I still haven't got my Obama Check! Sure my liberal friend says he's probably writing out that check right now! But I haven't seen it yet! I bought a house in 2009 and followed the rules but still NO CHECK!! Local property taxes are due the end of the month and here again I am about to run outta' month before I get more money. My current retirement plan (playing Powerball) hasn't paid off yet so guess I have to keep my day job!
And, to top it all off we needed groceries. So, we made a list and made sure to eat before our trip to the grocery. NEVER, NEVER go grocery shopping on an empty stomach! We decided to go to the BIG W. It was late and that was one of about 2 solutions to our grocery needs.

It gets pretty weird at the BIG W late at night for those who have never ventured out at that time. The things you can see will make you understand why our country is going down the tubes! Where do all these people come from? I REALLY think there are aliens among us!

So, we start on our list going down the appropriate aisles. Hey GUESS WHAT! They actually have BIG signs on each aisle telling you what's in that aisle. It's a good thing because you can't find anyone who works there! Once I did, but he told me that wasn't his department, he was only on his way to the break-room.

So we get our bread, eggs, milk, lunch meat, and splurge and get a roast! And then we picked up our bottled water. I was trying to remember when I first started buying water. My grandfather once laughed me out of the house for buying water. Next thing you know they'll be charging for air he said! If he were only alive today! I think that's what the CRAP AND TRADE bill is about isn't it! Funny thing about my liberal friend, he's really tight with his money but he's very free with mine. I think we need to remind our politicians that our money is ours and not there for them to spend as they see fit. I believe I know better how to spend my own money. So anyway, I go ahead and get a case of water and head for the checkout. As luck would have it, there was only one lane with a real person checking people out. I really don't like the self scan registers, but I'll save that for another day. The lady in front of me must have been shopping for an ARMY! She had two buggies(shopping carts for you northerners) and they were filled to the brim with any and everything you could imagine. After I had thumbed thru every tabloid available(did you know Brad and Angelina are gonna break up? And Jennifer will take him back?) she was finally ready to pay. What is this SNAP card thingie anyway? I gotta get me one of those! Who paid for all those groceries? I think we all just did..... and still no Obama check.....
