My Kingdom for a Barcode...

I have more than my share of "it seemed like a good idea at the time" moments. Today at the market was my latest. Think twice if you are considering using the "scan it yourself checkout" with any of these in your basket (the bok choy didn't make it out of the market)... This healthy eating is challenging on so many fronts... I never had a problem scanning a chocolate bar... I'm just saying...

She Said...He Said...

the grapevine... the backyard fence... nothing more, for the most part, than harmless bits of sophisticated note passing... until you stumble across a malicious gossip... flitting from person to person... gathering, embellishing and dispensing whatever juicy morsel she comes across... should you patiently wait for karma to intervene... or just silently root for her clueless victims to suddenly compare notes and rise up in a united rage... in the end, you invariably curse the fact that you were raised to behave like a lady and that violence (even on the behalf of others and for a just cause) never really solves anything... (it's a shame though... because you suspect you just might possess a mean right hook.)
