I was re-reading Anne of Green Gables earlier and had to smile at her “White Way Of Delight” description of blossom trees lining a road as they drove along in a pony and trap. I spent a few happy minutes thinking how nice to describe places like that. Then I went out to the kitchen to get a Coke Zero – and slid straight through “The Golden Lake Of Dog Piss” on the floor. Thanks Milo. NOT.
For all of you grammar enthusiasts, the past tense of Decree Absolute is “I do”
Never let it be said you don’t learn shizz from me.
I won’t judge you for your politics, religion or football team but I will totally judge you by how you put your shopping cart in the car park corral. Someone has to be out there in all weathers collecting them. Don’t be a dick, put it away nicely.
People never believe me when I say expect the unexpected. They always underestimate me. It’s like when you put a sign on the door saying ‘beware of the cat’ and people laugh and think – how bad can a little cat be? Yeah dumbass. THAT bad
I feel like I should give out T shirts saying I Never Learn
Four things you should NEVER discuss:
Religion
Politics
Money
How to cook ribs
Hmm… it seems some of you think I’m being too hard on the subject of Marriage.
Yes okay, I’ll accept marriage CAN be fun some of the time..
Trouble is, you’re married ALL of the time *sigh*…
lol – marriage is where two people to agree to annoy each other exclusively to save the rest of us. In England there is the trolleys you have to put money in to be able to use them. Problem solved.

Yes and it’s a pound coin so a bit more of an investment! Here it’s only Aldi that have coin trollers and it’s only a quarter. Shopping cart corrals resemble the aftermath of a demolition derby.

What a great post! No matter if it’s snowing or raining, I always put my cart back and neatly I might add! Drives me crazy when I cant pull in to a parking space when some lazy ass has left their cart there!! I’ve never been to Aldi’s and we have one here in Webster! Do you get good stuff there?😊🎃💕 We had snow last night but luckily it didn’t stick……YET!!😂

Aldi’s can be surprisingly good. I buy Kerrygold and English cheeses there so it’s great for me! All of their veg is organic and it’s cheaper than everywhere else. There’s stuff I wouldn’t buy there but I buy a lot of stuff like sugar and flour there

Here is my marriage gripe this morning… Ryan makes our coffee, he likes dark roast and strong…I can roll with that, np. But he puts so much ground coffee in it overflows coffee grinds in our pot, likeEveryday. For 5 years I’ve asked him to just make a minor adjustment… he thinks I’m being bitchy and too particular. ??
Here I am after 5 years of putting up with it, he’s too stubborn to change anything and I make my separate batch of coffee for myself. So we are making two pots of coffee each morning. 😳🙄🤨🤪
Any thoughts on that? Anyone want a cup of coffee? 🤣we have plenty…

When I was younger I used to collect some of the stray carts and take them back to the shop. My Mum would tell me off for wasting time and also she pointed out that I was depriving someone of a job. I always take my own trolley back though. Most of our trolleys have pound coin deposits on them to deter people from leaving them around or stealing them now.

That’s a great idea but here they don’t do that. The only place that does is Aldi and it’s only a quarter there (largest coin) so it’s not much of a deterrent. I just think it shows very little regard for people who get stuck with those rotten jobs. It’s often people with special needs like my beloved Peter and I would take someone out of I saw them being rotten to him! All 5’1” of me! 😂

Can totally relate to shopping cart maniacs! “I know let’s just leave the cart here shall we Mavis, the next sap along can park it for us!” Except some of these morons never think about people in cars waiting to reverse out but because they are taking more space than needed and then leave their bloody cart behind your car …. and people think road rage is a problem??
