I was really craving ham hocks, lima beans, and cornbread for a long time, it’s one of those hot meals that hits you in a good spot especially when it’s cold outside it keeps you feeling warm all night. I used to work for a guy that bought me dinner all the time, he and his wife liked to watch me eat. It wasn’t one of those weird things, I did it fully clothed. One of the foods he bought me was ham hocks, lima beans, and cornbread. I could slam down 3/4 of a pot of that stuff, good and hot with chili’s and a few pitchers of brew. Now, of course, those pitchers would be water but then I was still drinking. I have been thinking about lima beans and ham hocks so much I could almost taste it until yesterday when I was walking through thy blessed MILPAS UNDERPANTS and saw a huge pile of Lima Beans and bits of Ham splattered on the sidewalk in front of a camp. Now I cannot get that odor out of my nose and I almost added to it. I think I will stay on this side of my MILPAS UNDERPANTS a while. I just thought I’d share in case there are other Lima Bean and Ham Hock lovers out there.
I had a little experience with one of those passive-aggressive folks a couple of weeks back in a store, it was an employee. I won’t Identify what store where this happened, but I bought a case of water in gallons to the counter. There are 6 gallons of water to a case in a cardboard box, the box is really hard to open and it’s a heavy box so I put it on my walker. When I got to the counter the clerk wanted me to open the box put a gallon out making it easier for her to ring it up, but it isn’t required of the customer to do it. I mentioned that to the clerk along with the fact that there was a code on top of the box she could just put in the register making it easier for me also. She said she did not do it that way. I asked her if her way was store policy she said “Yes.” I said well that is a real pain in the ass, and added “If I hurt my back I could sue the store.” She said, “Some people are just sue-happy.” It just went back and forth finally I took a gallon out she rang it up bitching and moaning the whole time. As I was leaving I said once again the store policy is a pain in the ass and she said clear as day “You are a pain in the ass.” I contacted the manager she lied it wasn’t stored policy for me to have to take a gallon out of the box, nor was it store policy for her to call me a pain in the ass. Yes I snitched her ass out, she had it coming now she gives me dirty looks all the time and I must say I like that better than her waiting on me. HERE are YOUR SCANNER REPORTS…
