During my week off from the internet, I bought a new suit! It was the only one in 3 stores that fit and contained all that needs containing.
Good News! when I got to the cashier, she said it is marked down to $18.74! Wow! I would have bought another one, but they only had one. So what if people in the pool need to wear sun goggles.
Saturday AM, searching in WM for roach and ant bait, I was standing next to a man that LOOKED just like Mr. Magoo, below is from internet for those to young to know who he is. LOTS more wrinkles though.
I am thinking 90 years old, thick German Accent... He asked a passing employee if this was all the rat bait and traps. The answer was yes.
I asked "What are you looking for?"
He said "Rat Poison" .
Me: Oh NO! you don't want to use poison, the rats will die and get in your walls and stink for months"
He: " they can't get in my house it is tight"
Me: Even so, if you put it outside the rat will die painfully, the cats and dogs will eat it and they will die to"
He: I don't have any pets
Me: Well others do
He: I don't care about their pets
Me: The rat will die, the birds will eat it, the pets will die, the Vultures will eat it and die and it will go on and on and on, and all of them will die painfully.
He: I don't care, I want rat poison
ME: I don't think they have it here and I HOPE THEY Don't and if they do I will NOT help you find it and I turned an walked away.

So good to see you back. The suit was a great find. Glad you spoke your mind on the rat poison. Can you even buy that nasty stuff any more?

so glad to have you back on our screens - and that swimsuit is lovely! I too am glad you had the courage to speak the truth of poison to that fellow. YAM xx
Welcome back.
Oh you know I love bright vivid colors and patterns!!
Yikes on the rat poison. The mentality of worrying only about himself is very shortsighted. Ya for you giving him the facts.
Hugs and Many many welcomes back

Welcome back. I like the new suit and bonus that it was on sale. You got a good deal.
That was some conversation you had with Mr Magoo. He sounded like a very stubborn old man.
Hello,
Your new bathing suit is pretty. I am glad you tried to talk the man out of buying rat poison. It will kill other animals and birds. Maryland has seen some eagles die after farmers put out poison to kill some fox, the eagles ate the dead fox and died too. I am glad to see you back. Enjoy your day!
I love your new swim suit too. What an odd encounter at the store. Just has me shaking my head....shish!!!
The colors of your suit look like a coral reef … a peachy version of your header!
What a miserable old man; I'd probably have been tempted to say something unkind.
Soooo glad to 'see' you again! :)
So good to see you! Love your new suit! I wear swimsuits but I also wear cover ups over them and shorts under them!
I’m going to be very quiet about the rat poison.......
I sure have missed you ...so glad you are back.
Love the suit and the price was terrific too.
I love the way you speak your mind and I wish that Mr. Magoo would find an alternative to the poison.
Looks like a fun suit to wear.
GO SANDRA!!!!
...and a most beautimous new suit too :-)
Good for you, too bad he was a stubborn old man. I hope he doesn't find any, if it is still legal to buy.
Looking forward to hearing more about your week off.
Well, I see you are feisty as ever! Your suit is beautiful, and i love the colors and print. Last night, I began to be afraid that you would decide not to come back. So I am wildly happy to see you today!!
P.S. How did your experiment go? How do you fell, did you start to feel better and better? What did you do in the free time?
Good to see you back! I loved your swimming suit. I am glad that you spoke your mind on the rat poison. That is not good stuff! sandie
Good to see you! Love the swimsuit...
Welcome back and a good buy on the swimsuit. Last week, I bought 2 new swim trunks for Grenville as a birthday gift. He insisted that his 20-year old ones were "just fine" but he found a new pair for 1/2 price at the L.L. Bean outlet and said there was a second pair in his size. I told him that I would buy both and now he's set for another 20+ years! That was quite the story about the Magoo gent insisting on rat poison without regard to the after effects. One of Pat's cousins used it in their barn and sure enough the rats died and smelled up the place.
Loved Mr Magoo.
Coffee is on
What a nice surprise to see you back sweet Sandra. With all of your trying it seems you did not succeed in changing the man's mind. Sad that he doesn't care about killing pets and wildlife. Oh, I think your suit is nice and the colors are cheery, good purchase. Hugs
Cute suit!
That's pretty sad about that mans attitude.
HOLY MOOSEPOOPS!!! Not your bargain, which is adorable, BTW, but that man, a more than interesting character for sure...(I can't help but wonder just what he's like at home if he has rats!!)...:)jp
Glad to see you back! Love the swimsuit pattern. Enjoy!
Well GOOD FOR YOU!!! I don't understand the Mr. Magoos of the world who don't care about animals. We are so blessed that God put animals on this earth with us and we are to be GOOD STEWARDS of the earth, Mr. Magoo, not users and abusers of the earth and its creatures. Grrr. May Mr. Magoo never find his rat poison.
