It was so sad. She was crying. I started tearing up. The owner then took her aside and stood with her for ten minutes going over some things she can do to cook the meat. He then stood with her as she paid too. Still upset.

What a deep feeling of loneliness.

I don't get the punchline.

Don't open the door in the first place.

Appreciation, Scrooge

I was out on the road watching my runners the other day and and a group of about 20 young schoolkids was going house to house caroling. How cute, and what an awful racket. I'd suggest having Christmas cookies ready, and make sure they take them before they start to sing.

No punchline.

It was just a sad thing coupled with a very kind thing. Lots of feelings.

Delis are different where you live than here. We have to go to bars for that kind of thing.

yeah.... the butcher shops here are all business, they talk in pounds and other than a restaurant with a small market/deli, it's supermarket deli... which are usually manned by some kids who won't lose a finger in the slicer. no one who really gives a damn one way or the other. the bank tellers out here... different story. they really try to get you to open up and tell them your life story. nine times out of ten, i get a hug after a wire transfer.

Really wish people would stop with this "end of a decade" crap since, ya know, it's not the end of a decade.

Is there some conspiracy theory about sanding the paint off your pa plate or just mysteriously bad manufacturing? Saw at least a half dozen plate without any paint on the numbers and letters, but the word Pennsylvania was clearly painted in all cases. In VA that would be a code violation and the plate would need to be replaced.

An entire Louisiana town was dusted with holy water for Christmas...

Sadly it was not purchased by outsiders to remedy a scourge or kill vampires.

Kinda scary. If any of my exes were standing outside they'd be melted!
