Overheard and Shout Outs

OVERHEARD

Are there tid-bits of conversations you’ve heard while standing in line at the grocery store, serving a table, or walking down the sidewalk that make you smile, cringe or laugh out loud?

“He’s often confused by words.”

“You know who is untrustworthy? Anyone who eats chewy Chips Ahoy.”

“He’s going to do some heavy duty, magical cleaning.”

“And of course there aren’t any smiley people to help – they’re all busy in their scary, troll-like way.”

“It’s just getting redneckier.”

“Maybe I’ll fall in love with a male Thumbelina.”

“Deodorant. He LOVES that!”

“I love making power-tripping retail jerks cry.”

“The Master of Plaster Disaster is rip-roaring and ready to go!”

“THIS ISN’T A GAME, THIS IS LIFE!”

SHOUT OUTS

Is there someone or something that deserves a pat on the back or a slap on the wrist?

Thank you to the CVS clerk who went above and beyond the call of duty to help an elderly gentleman who was the target of a phone scam.

Shout out to The Ridges for another great Natural Christmas event, and to the volunteers who taught participants how to make a beautiful wreath!

Slap on the wrist to time for zipping by the past few weeks, especially given that Christmas is less than a week away and I still have some gift purchasing to do.

Shout out to all of the businesses and organizations planning great ways for families to get together and enjoy the county over the holidays!
