We Disclose So Much About Ourselves

In the ad, (Name) is a hungry guy with no (Name) Card. Apparently either he does without his meal or the girl behind the counter is going to get fired. Does this ad run before or after the Support the Homeless Shelter Food Program ad? Which one should jack us up the most?

Granny types apparently lay in bed and with a flourish of control, clap twice, commanding the lights to go off. How many times does she have to clap to get help on her electric bill?

It used to be some retail places were hesitant to take your check. Now they want it, run it through a reader, do some electronic voodoo and then give it back to you, telling you again they don't want it, or even need it.

By acting like a bank, they now trust you. Why on earth should you trust them? What were those promises the bank made you when they trusted you with checks good for?
Apparently you only have to HAVE a check. Why not write it in pencil and erase it afterward, so you can use it over and over again?

The grocery store sells out of something they had on sale and rather than restock, they move higher price things sideways into that spot, so you can get home to find you paid not only too much, but got a different item than you reached for based on the shelf label.

Chain stores that stock based on local sales patterns will not all even carry the items they have on sale. Why then do they put the sale price tag on the shelf in front of nothing that even relates to that tag? Are they telling us that since we didn't buy it there in the past, we are to be teased with the empty opportunity to buy it now, on sale?

What about the car in traffic that has his park lites only on, even half an hour after sunset when he's supposed to have headlites on half an hour before that event. Is he saving battery energy, therefore using less fuel charging the battery? By making himself difficult to see, is he risking our safety in lieu of saving the planet? He'd be more successful at saving the planet and our lives if he'd just stay home and never drive at all.

The spritzy gal on the news that had sunken cheeks and painted eyes, fancy hair and the latest attire is trying to distort her face into the grimace or distaste or surprise she deems appropriate to the story being told as news. Remember when the face making and judgement of the content of the news was OUR job, not hers? Is she the leader of the lambs, or just the sheep dog?

A friend tells me that the young person is incapable of independent thought until approximately age 25, when their brain finally jells. That reminds me of what my sister told of Rainbow (G)ell(itan). Where the color could be anything in any portion served at any point in the serving. It DOES look like all the leftovers were put back in a bowl and regelled. Doesn't THAT sound yummy!

People with blogs sometimes appear to have more time and money than good sense. I resemble that.
