Random Shots of (POO)

 I left these items sitting on the counter overnight. I use CLUES to make myself remember things I want to do for just in case I forget to look at my list of  To- Do Today. Guess what 4 things it was to remind me to do. Answers below....SCROLL Baby Scroll  (POO) Perfectly Ordinary Objects

Peel and cook the apples for Bob. Cook Rice Pasta for Beau and Mama, Make Mama's Granola, Cornbread baked and put in freezer. ALL for the coming week. 

I SAW, I SNAPPPED! it looks like the glass cracked and is leaking liquid glass. What do you see?

  I found this homemade business card, in a snack bag, with a small rock. 

Tree Service Advertising. Cheap !! Glad it did not hit the window.

Received the above in my email, stating Bob's Calamine Lotion, 2 bottles for 5 dollars, was delivered by Walmart. No, I did not order just that, I twas part of this order, total cost $159.00

Default delivery on my orders say, leave in baskets under white bench on porch.

the white bench was moved, 4 months ago for the wheel chair bench, and the baskets stored under the bench, when I order I pull them out and sit in front of the wall. This time I forgot to move the basket,

The girl piled all the groceries in one spot. There is a 25 dollar ham, a pie, bread, eggs, a lot of things. 

I watched the young man, slide the basket out, gently place the package in and slide it back... which one do you think got 5 stars?

No, I did not give her a bad star, I just did not answer the email request. These people are saving my life driving my shopping items to me.

I am thankful for them, no matter where they place them.

Just because I had the app open I Instat toned his email photo.

Walmart Mystery

 

Created for all of you using PicMonkey

Walmart Mystery

At 10 minutes to 7, AM, still dark outside, I was Heading to the self check out with a cart full of expensive food in WM, I stood back and the doors burst open and a girl of maybe 25 rushed in the door ON A MISSION, she was nearly running, and FOCUSED.

I know you are thinking who cares? Aha! there is more. She was dressed in Pajamas, slippers and a Robe tied tightly around her middle.. 

As i drove home, I entertained myself by trying to come up with a scenario for WHY!

Sleeping in her car, potty run? If so, why put on PJ's?

Sleeping in an RV parked in the lot, lots of them do that. If so, was she buying milk for a baby? diapers for a baby? A sudden desire for a cold Starbucks Coffee in the cooler?

do you have a scenario? would you go in Walmart in PJ's, slippers and robe?

Can you come up with a reason you would do that? She was fine, decent, could see nothing but her hands and face..

The Crow and the MadMagpie

 

The sun was coming up when I walked out of Wal-Mart pushing my basket of groceries. The sky was full of crows, they were on the cars, parking lot, all the light fixtures and the fence that hold the baskets.

I love crows, no photo, it was too dark, and we were talking. I drew him for you out of my memory shows you how the biggest crow I have ever seen, was watching me as I talked to him in baby talk. (yes, I talk to crows)

He landed about 10 feet from me, and I stopped to see what he had in his mouth. He was fascinated by my talking to him, and he stared down at me much like Beau looks when I tell him a story. 

photos taken while I was telling him a story. he will sit as long as I talk, we get to laughing so hard I can hardly talk.

I asked Crow what he had in his beak, and he dropped it; I told him it looked just like the pigs' ears that dogs like to eat. I told him he is the biggest crow I have ever seen.

I turned to walk towards my car and a man about my age was standing watching me, He laughed and said I think that bird likes you! I laughed and said, I was asking him what he had in his beak. He said what was it? I answered I don't know; it looked like a Taco, but he did not tell me.

 do you talk to critters? birds? lizards? I do.

I always apologize to the lizards when I remove the poop bag AKA Lizard Buffett. The lizards listen to me just like Beau and the Crow.

the map above, the circle is Egmont Key and Islande that is 33 miles by car and 2 miles if I could fly like a bird. Egmont is a bird preserve and every morning when I am walking Beau, from the direct of the island, thousands of crows leave that island and fly to the east over our heads. They and the one I talked to, are fish crows. I came home to look up their name and dove down the internet HOLE for about an hour. 

I had no idea Crows are Corvids; I love that name. or that our local birds are Fish Crow and live on Egmont Key. Now I know why Beau and I see thousands of them in the air every day at daybreak and we see the sky filled from our backyard every evening at about 5;30 which is sundown

The most interesting Fact I found, is this...

In the family of Corvids is a MAGPIE. 

info found HERE

Crows, Magpies, and Ravens Talk! You may be surprised to learn crows, magpies, and ravens can talk. These birds can mimic other birds and human speech so accurately that people believe they are hearing a person.

Are you picking up what I am putting down? Crows and Magpies TALK! 

I may change my name to Mad Magpie. I talk so much that Birder, David G, commented that he hopes I never sit by him on a plane. 😉😉

I learned a lot, if you care at all the info in in the link or just type in Crows vs Magpies or Corvids

Dear Walmart, About the Remodel

 

The cockamamie drawing above is the Pharmacy at Wal-Mart Saturday morning shopping. 

Needed, 5 items from this department.  When they did the remodel they created an App, numbered the end caps, ( NOT ALL OF THEM) made smaller spaces, put less merchandise out and created a MESS!

Poking the App I asked where to find 2 items, one was on 29 the other 34. You can see the 34 but I could not. I asked a girl stocking shelves where was 34? she spoke no English. She waved a a woman who met me in the middle and she said oh its on 34. 

I walked to 28, and the 28 you see is a WALL, you can't see over it. The makeup and lotions are locked in side that box you see, with a narrow entrance. I have yet to see anyone at the HELP desk at the door.

She said oh that is on 34, I said I see NO 34, she said Oh, 34 is the whole back wall!  there was no number posted.

I was looking for a tiny bottle, I glared at the whole wall behind SIX aisles, and then found the woman again and told her the item could not be found. She said OH FOLLOW ME... and we walked to the 28and right where you see the word Theft, she stood on tiptoe and Pointed down behind the wall and said we moved it THERE... which is NOT 34 and also HAS NO NUMBER.

IT TOOK ME 20 MINUTES TO FIND 4 ITEMS USING YOU APP, WHICH IS PRETTY MUCH USELESS WITHOUT THE NUMBERS IN NUMERICAL ORDER AND POSTED IN PLAIN SIGHT 

To whom it probably doesn't concern, your useless numbers and app made my dog drive his dad crazy because I did not get home at the right time to take him for his walk. He never barks when i come home. Today he was running in circles and barking when he heard me drive in.

all This was Due to the idiot you must have hired to draw your remodel plan and also the one that approved them... Now that I think about it, I am thinking they did not speak English and neither did the creator of your app. How did the woman placing stock on the back wall no where to put the merchandise? that is what I am now pondering. WHY GIVE US NUMBERS IF WE CAN"T SEE THEM. 

Wal-Mart Caturday Art

In Wal- Mart, I found A glass globe for your garden. When it came up in the computer, I saw something that was not really there.

Before you scroll down, do you see anything in the globe? if so tell it to me.

I could see a fish, mouth open wide.

but I saw something else inside

 

Tell me what you see in this one...hint stare at the entire photo to see it best, before you guess as a guest.

Its a caterpillar, do  you see it now?

Almost Wordless Wed.. (par fore the course!)

 

This is what greeted me as I stepped into Wal-Mart Saturday Morning. Seems they are now selling. 

Electric Golf Carts....the price 1 penny under $8000.00 tax is 7 percent here in FL...  I provided the link in case any one or all of you want to go pick one up.  Make that drive one home?

I am at a loss fore words! As par as eye can see, this is a load of trap.

WalMart Personal Shoppers

One of the fastest growing jobs at Wal-Mart is the Personal Shopper Position. So says CNN in this article and also, I am told this by my friends that work in Wal-Mart.

At 6 AM on Saturday morning, my chosen shopping time, the aisles are full of Personal shoppers, madly rushing to keep up with their Pick Rates for all the Online Saturday Shoppers. The job pays well, but it comes with strenuous work, and they are timed, needing to scan the items, about 200 per hour is their pick rate per CNN. 

I stood staring at the top shelf of Non-Dairy Milk, the half gallons are 5 deep. I can tiptoe and reach three back. This time there were two, and I could not reach them. I usually ask a taller person, either employee or shopper to hand it to me and everyone is happy to do it. 

No one taller that I am, was in sight. I sighed loudly, and I heard behind me, a woman say, Can I help you with something?

Turning I saw a woman smaller than me with her personal shopper with her cart full of bags and boxes. I said, thank you, but I don't think you can reach the Vanilla Soy either. She smiled, turned to her cart, pulled out a hook, and said how many do you need. 

Thank you, Dear Shoppper for helping me and for volunteering to do it. I do hope you did not get behind in your pick rate. 

I thought you might like a giggle.  I typed this command in Bing

The one with the hook is ok, the other one still has me giggling.

Wal-Mart Vent Day

 

While washing my hands in the rest room at Wal-Mart, my face that tells all with my expressions, was screaming my aggravation out loud in the mirror.   28 years of shopping every Saturday, 15 of those years telling people who read this blog, that I am a huge fan of Walmart.

My love has dropped from 5 stars to 3 and will be a 2 this week if once again, my aggravation shows on my face again. The remodel has ruined the store, I despise the new baskets, the floor plan, the fact that nothing is where it should be, the stocking of shelves is crazy, they have dropped 9 of the things I have bought for years, and the prices are soaring. there is more, this is the tip of the iceberg.

Walking to my car with the weekly food stuff, I snapped the photos of the brewing storm. My face felt like the sky looked. I came home and filled out the survey on their website and it was not pretty. 

I took the photos because on the ground at 7:08 am, the parking lot was lit with odd lights and above was dark and threatening. 

 

I was sitting still at the red light, not driving

The store opens at 6 AM, I am at the door when they unlock it, and the reason is the store is empty of humans except a few of old people and the people stocking the shelves. 

Saturday, they put everything out over night to get ready for the week end. Sunday the shelves are stripped by Saturday shoppers

The other reason is, the traffic signal above with no traffic, changes and after 8 am looks like the below all day and into the evening. 

While chatting with a check out employee, I told her how unhappy I am with the store. Not a rant/rave, just chatting. She said there are 4 other stores, have you tried them? She was not being snarky; she was trying to help. I had told here 3rd week of 8 to 10 items that are not in stock, and each store is different.

See that traffic? the other 4 stores are several miles of worse traffic than this, and this one is 2 miles from my home, not 7 and 8 miles.

Excerpt from email received to acknowledge my complaint.

We will take your comments into consideration as we continue to improve our services and deliver the experience you deserve. We hope you shop with us again soon!

Sincerely,

COACH

FRONT END

 Coach? really? Coach? . this is not a football game.

He stated he entered my name in a 1000-dollar gift card lottery for a chance to win. 

This will change nothing, but the vent did help me.  

Chatty Cathy meets Chatty Carl

The Saturday I got paid for talking! 😉😉

Standing at the pump, I slid the debit card in the slot, and realized I was standing face to face with a much younger than me man. 

He said, good morning.

I said good morning. We both smiled.

While pumping gas face to face, 

He said, Got any big plans for today? (Saturday, 6 AM, Walmart)

I replied, I sure do, pump gas, go inside the store, buy food for the week go home put up the food, walk the dog. That's It!

He stared at me for a second, and reaching inside the back of his pickup truck, produced with a flourish the plant above. 

He said, while holding out the plant, how would you like a plant? as I took the plant, I said Thank you, it's beautiful and it is NOT a poinsettia. he laughed, I laughed. 

He said, I am a landscaper, yesterday I went to a place out east, and they had drained a pond of all the water because the county kept giving them warnings because they were not doing mosquito control in their pond. they drained it and I made a garden, planted it full of bushes and trees and flowers. This was left over.

When I told bob this story, he said, do you TALK to everybody???

 Now I ask you, what do you think my answer was?

4 sides are all different, I also SNAP PHOTOS
