·5 years agoFinally, there was the day you could go to the new ice cream parlor. You bought a delightful ice cream tower cone. You are walking and licking it when... a mother passes next to you and her twister baby had to wave his arms and destroy your ice cream tower. The mother gets mad at you for not paying attention where do you walk.
You buy a second ice cream tower cone. This time, a bird flies fast and blows your ice cream cone. The third time, a girl with long hair walks next to you and the wind blows her hair on your ice cream tower. Well, is that a "bad hair day?"

I was in elementary school. We went out to recess, after a rain. There were two merry go rounds. I walked over to the stand up one; the safety squad girl said, "It's closed" (rather snooty tone). I backed up and quickly stuck my tongue out (she didn't see).
I walked over to the sit down merry go round (other kids were on it). The principal came up to me and SQEEEEZED my cheeks. Said she saw me stick my tongue out (must have had eyes like an eagle; I did it quickly). I was grounded for a week. (I was a very good kid; just didn't think anyone saw me stick out my tongue, but wanted the satisfaction of KNOWING I did it....WRONG).

·5 years agoBack in the high school years... you had to read a book and write a report about it. You procrastinated the reading. The day before you started to read the book at the speed of light, aunt Non-of-your-business had to visit for extended hours, the next door neighbor dropped her cyclone kid in order you baby sit the kid -the neighbor did not even ask, she just drop the kid, your mother made you to do certain housework you were not supposed to do, the drama queen classmate had to call you at the evening. Finally, everybody left, there is peace and quiet to continue the book reading at night and... there was a power failure.

You try to nail a spider who turns out to be a "jumper". He's on the wall, you go to get him, and he skittles down or falls off the wall. Then on the floor, he's one step ahead of you when you try to squish him with a paper towel.

Just when there is a snow storm, temperatures almost below zero, the whole planet has to buy at your Etsy store. And even get messages like, "Can you rush my order, it's for birthday."

I sometimes get requests to make styles I've run out of; sometimes I can do it, other times not. And there are some styles I just won't do after a certain point.
But it can get a little hairy at times; I won't make promises to Customers unless I'm positive I can make what they ask for (re: a style I've run out of). If I can, then the person who asks first gets theirs, and the second one gets theirs next and so on.
Then I feel badly when I have to say no; but I can't overshoot myself.

·5 years agoDon't you love it when playing Scrabble, you often forget the same words every single time (words you wouldn't normally use): nu, ag, za, jo, qi, azo; and others. But they are in the Scrabble Dictionary and can be worth a lot of points IF you remember them.
SwissZahlerArt
·5 years agoMy husband had lady friends who were too mathematicians playing scrabble. Oh boy, they held the game counting and counting points, analyzing which letter to play. I learned you can get up to 40 points just with the word ho, BUT WATCH OUT WHERE DO YOU PUT THE LETTERS to get the points.
ChillwolfArt
·5 years ago@SwissZahlerArt
You're right, Ana. Some letters are worth a lot of points. If you can, it's good to make a word where those letters fall on a triple or quadruple letter score. Or a triple or quadruple word score.
It's a lot of fun, but I have trouble remembering certain words; those which I wouldn't normally use.
And as long as they are in the Scrabble Dictionary, they're good. Words like: za, azo, qi, xi (many others as well).

·5 years agoDon't you just love it when you need a vacation, and you can't go on one because you are afraid of getting Covid???!!!! I am ready for this virus to be over. I don't feel safe anywhere. What have you all done to cope with the the virus? Is everyone on board to get the vaccine or no? I live in West Central Illinois in a small, rural area, and we didn't get hit hard until the end of September. Our means of income include three "non essentail" businesses (two bars and a video gaming room), farming, and rental properties, so we are have difficulty, as you can imagine. Sorry I have laid such a dark post on everyone, but this is what is happening to many folks. It is constantly on my mind.

·5 years ago"Welcome to the club." We had everything canceled this year since St. Patrick's Day. To coupe with the adversity, I look for positive results. This time is worst than the WWII years.
I tell the grand kids, let us pretend we are in a sophisticated spaceship that resembles our house on Earth, like in the Star Trek old TV program. Because we are flying in a spaceship, we can't go out, but at least e-communicate with friends, relatives and neighbors.

·5 years ago@ChillwolfArt Good afternoon: that's another nowadays customs. Decades ago, if you needed anything, you would call the waitress and let her know, for example, you wanted more coffee, another glass of water, warm your meal, the check. And talking about the check, nowadays, the check lands at the table before the meal, like "pay now or forever hold your your peace."
ChillwolfArt
·5 years ago@SwissZahlerArt
Hi Ana!
I do think it's nice they come back to check on you. It's just that every time they ask a question, you're in the process of chewing and can't speak:)
Now with the check, I can't recall that happening to us (getting it before the meal comes).
Have a great weekend!

·5 years agoNo sales. Black Friday, Cyber Monday, no sales. Christmas Eve, literally, everybody has to empty your online store.
SwissZahlerArt
·5 years agoPre pandemic times at the restaurant. You are eating, your dish is half full, you are holding the silverware on your hands... and a waitress has to pass by and take your dish. My husband and I got another "don't you love it" experience. We ordered pasta, but never got the silverware. It was requested to other waitresses, but nop, no silverware. Were people suppose to eat with their hands like in ancient times?
ChillwolfArt
·5 years ago@SwissZahlerArt
Or (this has happened before the pandemic, quite a few times); you have a mouthful of food and that is the moment the waitress will come by and ask, "How is everything"? So you smile and nod.

·5 years ago(For example.) You are at the hamburger join drive thru. You order a hamburger like this and that, and you keep getting a fish sandwich. With courtesy, you explain the clerk that's not your order, for sure, because you are allergic to seafood. Once again, the clerk apologizes. You wait to receive your order... and you get anooooother fish sandwich. Then, you remember the forum finding Nemo.
