Don't get me started! Passwords are truly the devil's work. "Make it unique" ... just so I can order a pair of slippers!

Great writing, my friend!!!

I know, right! For the slippers! It's not like you're working on military codes or whatever! Sigh. Thank you for reading and encouraging! Hope you're staying warm out there on the farm.

Loved your Aldi comment! Reminds me of when the credit card machine starts honking at you if you don't take your card out RIGHT WHEN THEY TELL YOU TO!

Or how about when you realize you've added a tip to your bill AFTER they've already added a "service fee?" And I also hate giving up my bra size!! :)

Oh man, yes! And tipping in general is so stressful these days! If I don't add something to the person who just took my order at Panera... will she spit in my food? And of course I want to tip anyone who is waiting on me. They deserve it. But part of the whole reason I went for "fast" food was to cut down on spending.... sigh... dilemmas dilemmas!

I considered it a Christmas miracle that ONE TIME the HyVee self-check didn't scream "Have you used your HyVee Fuel Saver Card? HAVE YOU?"
