My neighbors told me to quickly get my bag with identification. My son had been hitby a small truck and we were off in the ambulance.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246929075812590204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-88041856137865695802008-09-23T23:15:00.000-07:002008-09-23T23:15:00.000-07:00We always left the store with at least one, usuall...<I>We always left the store with at least one, usually two, different kinds of nuts and candy.

They leave them IN the parking spaces. <BR/><BR/>Looking back, I remember when I was a kid going to Sears with my parents. My daddy would always end up by the candy and nuts counter. Sears had a huge selection, took up almost one entire isle. We always left the store with at least one, usually two, different kinds of nuts and candy. Ummmmm. Hot cashews, coconut balls, yum yum.<BR/><BR/> <BR/>Debbie Hamilton<BR/><A HREF="http://www.righttruth.typepad.com" REL="nofollow">Right Truth</A>Right Truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18274108313586611205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-3476409502590847662008-09-23T08:01:00.000-07:002008-09-23T08:01:00.000-07:00Kate,The way people treat the carts irks me.FP,Lit...Kate,<BR/><BR/>The way people treat the carts irks me.<BR/><BR/>FP,<BR/><BR/>Little things help.Jack Steinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625864271071630940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-36227775697835860442008-09-22T23:04:00.000-07:002008-09-22T23:04:00.000-07:00I try to return 2 or 3 carts that are blocking par...I try to return 2 or 3 carts that are blocking parking places in congested parking lots, especially at Costco.

I do think that they should maybe put a cart corral thingy near the handicap spaces, where I see the majority of them, but for the most part - I glare at people and make rude comments under my breath. <BR/><BR/>I hate that common courtesy seems so less common.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389879944956211197noreply@blogger.com
