Overheard and Shout Outs: Dec. 2, 2016

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?

 

“So that’s what turkey love looks like…”

 

“High Life is the Thanksgiving beer.”

 

“I didn’t kill your self-esteem…it took a sabbatical is all.”

 

“I don’t know, maybe I was 5’5” in middle school but I’m only 5’1” now.”

 

“Maybe try not to rub your butt on everyone.”

 

“I want to be the drunken DJ!”

 

“I love selfies at the feed mill.”

 

“Nothing worse than a blind barber.”

 

SHOUT OUTS

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

 

A shout-out to everyone who shopped Small Business Saturday and then doubled that generosity with Giving Tuesday.

 

A slap on the wrist to dog owners who don’t clean up their dog’s waste or who bag the waste but toss it on the lawn for someone else to clean up!

 

Shout-out to the folks behind all of the community holiday displays. Thank you for sharing your Christmas spirit with the rest of us!
