The silly things in life. Guys might find this to be TMI lol

[Brokenbutglued]

So I've been a little down lately and when that happens I tend to find silly and sometimes rather stupid things that make me laugh. Like not long ago I was in Wal Mart stocking up on a few odds and ends when I went by the ummmm errrrrr feminine needs department since Aunt Flo was making her monthly visit. (TMI yet? lol) I stood there, lost in a sea of pads. I mean c'mon, they have 'em for THONGS! Overnighters, liners, ones that felt like they were 6" thick, medium obsorbency, heavy, super heavy, light, normal. Oh and then in 5 different brands. Ugh, dang and then they don't even have ones that I want. I'm small (draw a stick figure add a butt and breasts and theres me lol) so even the medium ones feel like I'm trying to wear a suitcase. While I was in my daze, an older man walked by and for no reason I asked him, "Does it really have to be this hard?". Bless his heart, I caught him off guard and his face turned red. I really have no idea why I asked him lol.
Anyway, my eyes finished scanning this overwhelming selection of flattened cottonballs only to let my eyes wonder over to the depends. Wow, a pack of depends...cheaper than pads...what the heck?!!!!! One day my sweet *cough cough* husband suggested that I do like the joke suggested and just buy a bunch of cotton balls and some string.....

Ok, here's another one. Ever hear of men complaining about a group of women standing in the middle of the isle chatting up storm? LOL ever see a bunch of men crowded around the bigscreen in Sears to watch" the game", In the middle of the isle? :P Hahahhehe.

There was one more on my mind but I forgot it at the moment.I'll post it when I remember. :)

Maybe they do make you run faster!!!  LOL

I am still back at the thong pads.....Are they just glorified Q-tips?

[jstntime]

Have you ever tried to see if the "sport" versions make you go faster???  Heck, I might try 'em if they work good.  

My son (3 at time) was palying the "flute" on the beach one day and I looked closer at his "flute" to see it was a tampon applicator. ha ha  I guess the good part is it was only the applicator.

Can I add one more to the "too many list"????  How about a coffee at Starbucks???  I end up getting confused and just point to coffee pots and hope they taste good!!!  They usually don't either!!!!  I now stick to places that don't ask ANY more questions after you say you want a coffee.

yeah lol just a little. its strange, i know :D.

Don't get me started on the tampons. How complicated does cotton on string have to be? They even make some sort of "sport" eddition. I feel like I'm shopping for a SUV. Oh then it's the compact and portable sizes....ugh compact? Does it get good gas mileage?

Ok here's a wacky suggestion. If the same insane people that put toys in the check out lane would only put chocolate by the pound in the pad/tampon section I'd be sure to at least visit Wal Mart once a month :) hehehe. Ooo and icecream.


Mangee,

Way to go on the table and chairs!!! Ha!! Wal Mart drives me batty for sure! I had an incident with a cashier in the last month that got frustrated with me when I asked her not to put my fruit in the same bag as the raw meat. I mean really, who doesn't like fresh E. Coli with their apple, right? :D

Wow I have to say I dont miss the trips to walmart for the tampon run .:)

What makesthis even worse is consulting a Wal-Mart employee who looks at you like you have lost your mind. They give you that,"This is not my department so why are you asking me," look. I was at the Wal-Mart with my wife yesterday looking for the Barbie table and chairs.  The girl never heard of it and when she called someone else to help we were told,"I don't think we have it but you might want to try some other stores." My immediate thought was ."What stores?" It never occurred to her to check the storeroom where the people who work there can say ,"Yes we have it or no we don't." Anyway. as we were walking out, guess what we see in someone else's cart. Yeah, the table and chairs. We did a U turn and went back to the department and told the first girl that we saw it in someone's cart. She looked astonished and then came out with the ridiculous comment, "Are you sure?"  My wife who, rarely gets angry, suddenly erupted with,"We are neither blind nor stupid, now get me someone who has a little intelligence and who understands the English language!"  The girl was not an immigrant but an english speaking( So it seemed) citizen.The girl disappeared and a short time later we found ourselves talking to a  grey haired woman who, when we explained the situation said,"Give me a moment and I will get you one if we still have any." Five minutes later she reappeared with the item. After apologizing, she asked us to wait a few minutes, disappeared again and came back with a 20 dollar gift certificate. So we got the table and chairs for a little over seven dollars.

Oh my goodness, is all this just driving you a little batty, Broken?

[dominosarah]

I will vote for you Jim but when it comes time for the feminine hygiene products please consult with us girls from the forum okay!!!  Please also do something about my Secret deodorant too....I am still chapped at them for discontinuing my scent.

It's back to a topic we had a few months ago how you could walk into a grocery store and just buy orange juice.  Now it's OJ with no pulp, some pulp, lots of pulp and a whole lot of pulp...calcium, no calcium, etc....I went to the store just to buy band aids.  you used to be able to walk in and grab a tin of Johnson and johnson variety bandaids..that was it...now they have at least 217 different choices to make..same with Bayer aspirin, tylenol and all that stuff.

This has got to stop and when I'm elected president, it will.  I guarantee it.

[dominosarah]

You forgot about the ones with wings!!!!!!!  Love the reference to it being a "suitcase"!!!  I have been out of that scene for many many years but i know when i have to get those for the teenages here i stand there and am just overwhelmed.  I have wanted to open up the box for the ones used with thongs.......i still cant figure them out!!!  Oh and now they have "scented" ones?  WTH??
