IKEA

I spent an entire day (almost) at the new Ikea store in Tampa. What a charming and tiring experience. It started in the parking lot and ended at the exit. Drive your car right up to the exit door and load up your goodies.
Lunch was very, very good and inexpensive. Free refills on soda. OOOHHHH - wonderful.
Two floors and acres and acres of STUFF. All kinds of STUFF. Stuff you need, stuff you don't need and fluffy stuff. After all that walking try out one of their comfy chairs - sit a spell - play a game of cards, balance your checkbook, let the kids run wild ( a little), swoon over the fabulous kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms.
Go back to the cafe for desert or snag an ice cream cone. Try out one of their couches, kick back put your feet up. Then get lost in the self service warehouse. And there is no admission charge.
Ikea has a great idea. And I spent a grand total of $4.23.

Fecal Matter - matters

It was bad enough when I found out that lemons are encrusted with tons of fecal matter. I promptly asked for my water without any lemons. Most wait staff have a difficult time remembering my request. So, I am left to fish out the fecal encrusted lemon from my water and hope for the best.
NOW!!! I have heard that the University of Arizona did a study on - shopping carts. I wish I could be hired for these types of positions. The findings are disgusting, revolting and vomit provoking!!! 2/3 of ALL shopping carts are riddled with fecal matter. OMG!!!
I bring my own (recycled cotton) bags to the grocery store - to save the environment and my small part of the world. I guess I will have to purchase my own little shopping cart, like the one's those little old ladies use.
Where is all this CRAP coming from?
