1-26-09 Monday (Necked a Ring?)

My 200th post and all I have for you today is: Walmart. Yes, that's it.

I got carried away with Facebook today and added tons of photos.

Ummmmm, did I mention Walmart?

Above: This was in the Asian section at Walmart and it just sounds gross to me.



Above: The Walmart we went to had a medical clinic. Do click on the photo to enlarge and checkout the price list. Aside from the ailments listed, it's just weird in general to see a price list, period. Below are a couple of blown up shots:

Above: This guy was pushing a baby stroller. Where's the baby? It's only plastic bottles in it, or so I hope. Should I have called the authorities?

I have some bitches about our room. Nothing major but it's more fun to complain.



Above: The bathroom faucet is stiff and makes a "oops I stepped on a puppy" sound effect.



Above: The foot of the bed makes a lot of noise. I'm too scared to see what's making the noise.






Above: The shower head is so bizarre but it's powerful!





Above: Worst things can happen than a simple spider web, but if I'm gonna bitch, I need to take it all the way.



By the way, I'm fruit and vegetable dumb. While at Walmart, I felt up some nectarines which seemed firm. I put several in a bag and approached an employee who was stocking vegetables with "Excuse me, how do you ripen nectarines". She didn't understand me, I repeated the question. Language barrier. She then seems to have an epiphany and takes me to the nectarines, points and smiles. Sigh. While I am tempted to ask my question louder, I resist knowing our world thinks that people who can't understand, are also deaf. I ask again slower and ready to give up. The woman gives me the finger... the wait a moment finger and returns with another employee. Awesome! I ask my question again. The newly arrived employee understood it less. I moved on.


I grabbed some other fruits and vegetables. Jim and I have decided to eat healthier. I'm not going to call it a diet because as soon as it's labeled as such, the psych takes over and immediately wants everything and anything that you've decided you CAN'T have. It's human nature.

In a previous post, I've mentioned my lust for Count Chocula cereal. At some point since then, I've evolved and have taken a liking to Special K Redberry. That equates to me eating the Walmart knock off. I like it, but why does it all have to have so much sugar? Today I bought regular corn flakes. Wish me luck!

Well, I guess I had some material for today after all....

  2. Those shrimp fry things scare me.

    Your room scares me- I'm not sure I could stay there without complaining a lot to management.

    Yay for fruits and veggies!!

    I've been on a hot cereal kick lately- much better for me than a fast food breakfast. Doesn't keep full through lunch but I manage to find healthy enough snacks to make it through the morning.

    So, how are the nectarines?

  3. I think putting them in a brown paper bag will speed thing up, but they should be fine in a day or two left on their own...while you're waiting, have some shrimp flavored fries!

  5. Congrats on 200th post!

    LOL at your farting bed and the "stepping on the puppy" faucet!

    My biggest laugh however, is the thought that I can get a pelvic exam at Walmart!

  6. Hi, Jim and Garrett--
    I don't know how much free time you guys have (when you're not walking or eating :-), but I'm reading your blog because the Fam Damily and I are travelers ourselves. I wanted to send you the link to our travel blog of traveling Route #66 a summer or two ago. I'm going to be taking it off soon and making it into a book. I haven't read enough of your back posts to see if we've been any of the same places, but I thought you might give it a peek... :-) http://web.mac.com/kidsplayinc/Schaefer_Family/Road_Trip_2007/Road_Trip_2007.html

    Sorry for the long link....
