Here is a great quote supposed attributed to Lewis Caroll:
I fear I agree with your friend in not liking all sermons. Some of them, one has to confess, are rubbish: but then I release my attention from the preacher, and go ahead in any line of thought he may have started: and his after-eloquence acts as a kind of accompaniment—like music while one is reading poetry, which often, to me, adds to the effect.
Since Sunday I’ve not had an “at home – sit down – lunch time – on time” meal (OK, Monday was close!). Unfortunately that has meant that Jill has been dragged along for some of the meal times.
Now, I enjoy fasting – my wife becomes jittery and has headaches. Better to eat on time than to explore life on the “past noon” side!
Resolved – that tomorrow’s lunch hour will be “at home – sit down – lunch time – on time”!
Food is best shared with others. So today we headed over to a seniors complex and ate with some friends. More friends were there with whom we conversed. The hour passed so quickly we felt as though we had just arrived.
My recommendation? Find a place to eat with someone else this week. At your home, a restaurant, a picnic lunch. The setting is not so much the important part, as the company.
Oh, and we happened to get the meal free of charge – a perk which we enjoyed!
So, as mentioned previously, we had been charged to use our own bags at Extra Foods. Not a happy camper – or shopper!
Today we took our bags in, and went through the till with a cashier we know. We told her of our previous adventure. The manager was standing nearby as we heard the cashier explain that things were now corrected.
Oh, back up a day or two. We had sent off our complaint to Extra Foods via the internet. An automatic response was returned mentioning that there had been an extraordinary volume of emails recently and they would get back to us as soon as possible. Perhaps others had noted the same complaint.
Back to the manager overhearing our conversation. He immediately pointed out how the computer/till now accommodated the “free bags” and even gave us PC points.
So, thanks for those who listen and make changes work!
