Happy birthday, Zen.

{{sj}} I'm so sorry for your loss and your sadness. Blessings on your aunt's spirit, and on all the good love she gave everyone in your family.

JZ said this so beautifully, I am just going to nod and offer my sympathies.

My uncle took me to brunch and just moved my tv out onto the landing so it's listed as free on Craigslist now. I expect it'll be gone today. Either way, it's out of my way finally.

sj I'm so sorry for your loss.

Happy birthday Zen.

And ita, decapitation has a 100% success rate with curing migraines and all other illnesses, though the side effects are generally not considered worth it.

I've broken down and gotten a window a/c. Well Will got it for me.

I have a narrow window so I have to find a small unit. We went to ACE and no luck. Then we went to Sears. We walk in and both salesmen were busy, one on the phone a nd the other in person.

Neither greets us or acknowledges us.

Will and I are looking trying to figure out dimensions and we were there for awhile. Another customer walks in and the sales guy on the phone ends the call and walks over to get an a/c unit.

Doesn't acknowledge us AND starts helping the customer who just got there. We were totally ignored. We ended up leaving and I asked Will if we were ignored of if I was being sensitive. He agreed, we were ignored.

So we went to another hardware store and got service.

Will also said he wanted to go and buy out their entire stock of a/c units and then sell them by the side of the road at a discount as revenge.

so why do you think you were ignored?

btw, I always contact the corporate office when this occurs. I had no one in a Honda Office ask me if I would like service. I waited there as a curiosity and it took 45 minutes before anyone asked me if I needed assistance. This was some years ago, but I certainly contacted Honda corporate about that.

You were ignored. Sears is absolutely the worst. NoiseDesign and Pix have lots of bad things to say about them.

I called T to tell her about my aunt and found out that the nephews are in town. I have no idea if anyone would have bothered to tell me if I hadn't called her. I am going out with friends tonight for a belated birthday celebration, which is good because otherwise this would end up being a night of wallowing.

It's not a case of being ignored, but I got someone fired once for saying to me "You've got to stop beating your husband" when Hubby was on crutches once. Granted, the manager came over on his own recognizance as I was laying into said worker, but when manager got the gist of my diatribe, he agreed with me.

And we have walked out of restaurants after being seated when no waitress has shown up after people have been served who arrived after us.

I am usually ignored when I actually want to give someone money and hovered over when I'm just looking.

This chemo makes me sleep 12 hours one day and vibrate with unfocused energy the next. Today is a vibrating day. If I could just focus, it would be a good thing.

I am sorry you didn't know the nephews were in town, sj. I'm glad you're going out tonight with friends. Sucks to feel ignored.

He agreed, we were ignored.

Different kind of sucking to be ignored there. I am glad you spent your money elsewhere.

I think most people on Craigslist are screwing off at work. I swear, I list something free during the week and hear back in two minutes usually. I'm not worried, just amused.

I started taking biotin a couple of months ago and my nails are massively stronger. I hope that translates to less chance of losing hair from stress. My nails have never been particularly strong.

Sudden summer is playing heck on my allergies. Sneezes everywhere.

That sounds frustrating, Ginger. I hate when my brain has that squirrel feeling. Totally running but aimless and pointless. How are you feeling overall?
