Just did a run out after lunch to grab a chocolate bar at the local general shop near the library. Got to the front of the queue and the nice man behind the counter said:
Oh we're about to put those ones on special. I'll charge you the reduced price seeing as you are here most lunch times.
I'm not! Am I ??? Oh dear .....

For everything BUT chocolate, Mel!
Isn't it nice though, when you become a regular somewhere and you're recognised?
Just cos you're a regular doesn't mean it's always for chocolate LOL...poor Mel..now nice to get a discount:)
{blush} Unfortunately the only thing I go in there to buy is my fortnightly bus pass and the chocolate ....
So other than once a fortnight - all the other times are purely chocolate runs .....
Ah....oh well....
Ouch. It wasn't chocolate, but there have been a couple times that I was well know enough to be asked if I was getting 'the usual'. And no, it was not alcohol related, LOL.
Ok, spill...what was/is "the usual"? LOL
My "usual" is a hot chocolate and Health Florentine (GF muesli bar type thing) from the Coffee Cart on the way into work ..
OK, when I was 14, 'the usual' was a bag of cheese popcorn and 2 cans of Mountain Dew on my lunch break every day at the greenhouse. It got to where the store clerk would have it waiting at the register when I came in. When I was 18 'the usual' was a triple decker grilled cheese sandwich at the cafeteria at work, they would start making it as soon as I walked in, I never even had to order. When I was 19 ' the usual' was a Whopper with Cheese and a chicken sandwich at Burger King every Friday after work. I stopped doing 'the usual' after that because one of my co-workers was abducted from the parking lot and murdered after our shift was over one night. The police told us that you should never have a 'routine' because the man who killed her was specifically waiting for her. He knew just where she parked and when she got off work. The officer said, don't even drive the same way home every night if you can avoid it.
Yikes, Sisu!
And Mel, chocolate is full of antioxidants, which are good for you. I wish I liked it more, to be honest.
(given enough time and swewed study results, I can rationalize just about anything :) )
Oh my Sisu - that's awful! My usual was unfortunately alcohol related when I was younger. I could really use a diet to if you need support.
I'd have said "yay! thanks mate, I'll take five in that case...."
Life's too short for diet and exercise; you're safer sticking to sex and chocolate...
Why didn't you tell me that 20 years ago?
I thats the problem Vamps - I'm overcompensating on the chocolate because I'm not getting enough of the sex ....
Anyone have a spare Cabana boy they can lend me?
Hmmm - oh this is sad - but I'm wondering if anyone could chart up Vamps little saying there! It would look perfect at work :) :) )
what kind of font would you like it in??
Email me with the sort of size you want and font ideas and i'll do it tomorrow...bedtime here for the weary..
You want to actually "think" about it ????
Ok - will do so tomorrow - am at work now ... {sigh}
Sisu - again I am thankful I live in my country not yours.
I am also thankful that I am too old, too fat and too plain to be stalked.
Mel, I fit into the too old, too fat and too plain to be stalked category now as well, but back then, I was skinny, young, and had big boobs. Yeah, I was a weirdo magnet.
Oh, I am not the one dieting. I refuse to diet. I don't need to slow down my metabolism by eating less, I need to rev it up by being more active. That is my problem. Hmm, I can spend an hour on the treadmill or I can stitch for an hour. Needle and thread, here I come.
I freely admit, my excess weight has a little to do with the meds I took trying to get pregnant, a little to do with actually having kids, and mostly to do with just being lazy. I can't do aerobic exercise due to my anemia, but I could easily walk for calorie burn and use weights for muscle tone. I just enjoy things like reading, stitching, and video games more than I enjoy exercise.
That's my problem too - I could exercise, but I also could use that time to get dinner made and cleaned up so afterwords I can stitch the night away
Ditto! I can't find enough time to stitch during the weeknights - let alone exercise as well .....
Gotta love a shopowner with a good memory, right? hehehe So, dieting yet?
