Musings for the week

*** New Glasses...again..... A few weeks ago I finally got my new glasses which took several weeks to arrive in the first place. It took only 4 days for the lens to fall out when a screw came loose. A trip back to the optometrist office led to a 30 minute wait as they wrestled with trying to fix them and an order for a new pair of frames. Another 4 days and the lens fell out again..... New frames are in, shall we see if the lenses stay in like they are supposed to...

*** License Renewal.... If you ran a company that sold something that everyone had to have wouldn't you want to make it easy to get? I had to renew my drivers license this year, the dreaded trip to the Drivers License Station..... Kansas has this new cell phone text "virtual line" system, where the systems text you with your position in "line" and an estimated wait time. My original wait time was 52 minutes, actual wait time was 150 minutes. If it was a private company running this place people would find a new place to shop, why can't government learn from the private sector...

*** Weddings.... Why is it that at weddings the "ODD" members of the family show up?

  Heather got it right when she gave Brandon this during the ceremony

*** Doctors visits.... When mom asked for a ride to the doctors office so she could get a flu shot I didn't hesitate in saying yes, no questions asked. And when we got there and it was at the research center in the same building as her doctors office I didn't ask questions. But it's a little unnerving as you sit in the waiting room for an hour after they take her back to a room "to get a flu shot".... I wanted to go to the desk and tell them to give me my mommy back.....

*** Blown tires.... It is never a good night when you hear a huge bang, look in the mirror and see nothing but dust, smoke and sparks....and it gets worse when the shop calls you back and says the tire guy is busy and won't be there for 2 hours. It's hard to get a "GOOD" nap in a drivers seat of 1 of our trucks but a nap can be achieved.

*** Phone surveys and telemarketers.... I thought when I signed up for both the Kansas and federal "No Call List" I would not get those annoying calls anymore..... And if you are going to call me at least say my name correctly.... Better yet, DON"T CALL ME, my credit cards are fine, I WILL NOT VOTE FOR YOU, and I don't want to take your survey or get the prize I "WON" for answering your questions

Take my rant with a grain of salt, better yet, salt the whole rim of the glass

and enjoy that margarita.....
