Good morning Everybody
Barbie, thanks for the update on Lyn’s latest move.
I went to buy Ban deodorant and it’s under lock and key at the store!!! Apparently people are stealing deodorant…. The Rolling Steel Tent ( a blog I read) said that socks were under lock and key at a Walmart he visited. What’s going on…is it some sort of game on social media Have you experienced this where you live? Enjoy today. Peggy

I am seeing that here too at the WM's. Altho it depends on the area. The one nearest me has a lot of stuff locked up now but it is a lower income area so probably higher shoplifting. There is one across town in a much better area and I don't see many locked cabinets in there. The problem I have is finding someone to unlock them when I need something. Then if/when I do, they have an attitude like I am bothering them.

I can verify that. I went to buy a 10-Pack of socks at my local Walmart. They were under lock and key, it took a while for someone to come to unlock the socks, and then they wanted me to immediately check out (I had other shopping to do!) with the socks. Add to that, the person doing the unlocking had very poor English skills, so I really couldn't understand what she was talking about.

I live in a somewhat low-income area, and I am finding that trying to shop for just about anything in my local Walmart is becoming a MAJOR pain. There is just now so many individual items under lock and key that it takes about forever to get any shopping done. I have just about given up going into my local Walmart.

I will still do shipping form Walmart, and - maybe - pickup (with pickup the people bringing you your stuff act annoyed, and seem to expect a tip!) but setting foot in the store is becoming problematic.

Hey, Karen, where are you? I'm missing your posts. Hope you are ok.

Socks seems to be a strange thing that needs to be locked up. A lot of things at the Walmart here are behind the plastic doors that have an alarm. Like any one at Walmart is going to come see what you are doing. If you want to get something that is locked up they want to bring it to a register and then you have to figure out where it's at when you want to check out. They recently locked up the dog and cat medicine and flea treatments. Try to find someone in that department with a key. I have a couple of things on my list that I need to get at Walmart but just don't feel like going there. I think I'll see if Tractor Supply has what I want.

I went to town, mostly to get a lunch and go to the post office. It had rained going into town and the temperature dropped 10 degrees. It's not quite as hot as yesterday. It's 96.

Peggy, I'll have to look up the blog you read. There are a few blogs I read every night.

I agree with you, Martha. But the 10-pack of socks was a fast $14.00.

Still makes a person wonder - are socks some kind of hot item these days? Do thieves shoplift ten-packs to resell on Ebay or something?

Seems strange.

I actually made it to the dr's office on time oh not for the check in but 4 minutes before I was suppose to be there I accidentally turned off the alarm instead of snoozing it... thankfully dd hadn't left for work woke me up what time is your appointment this was like 8:20 oops threw on clothes tried explaining to mom where I was going... made it there .... according to the x-rays I don't have pneumonia the NP that I saw today feels like its a inflamed airway so ordered steroids... which I will start tomorrow 6 pills the first day then down one each day also more inhaler and a z-pack on hold just in case but he really doesn't think it's a bacterial and to continue muscanuex I have a feeling what happened was the atv ride part of it was in a very fine sand and I just used a handkerchief next time I do any atv rides I will have to either for go the really dusty area or have a better ventilation system tried one but felt like I was being smothered it was so tight.... must be a in between one and it either turned into bronchitis or mimicked it but maybe not I think today was the first day I've not slept a long time....
it has been awhile since Karen has been on... wasn't she going to the coast for a few days??? or was it a thought??
it's 11 I forgot that I wanted to have hot chocolate tonight.... it was cooler today just in the high 60's went out and took care of the hummingbird feeder rehung it and the hummer came in flutter about a bit and lit on the feeder... guess it was hungry as I was still standing there be it a bit still but there it was pretty neat... hopefully will hear that bird again now that I have the app on the phone....
think I need to give mom her pain pill a bit earlier tonight she has been saying she hurts a lot... haven't figured out why some nights she isn't and others she hurts not sure it has to do with the weather... it's been cooler windy and cloudy today
Barbie have you heard yet if you can get disability or just SS?
anyone have great plans for tomorrow?
oh I copied something down for you Judy and any one else that has a lot of mosquitos think I saw it on FB and they always make things look so good but perhaps this is worth researching Mossguard... get.ozzihome.com

I have wondered if that fire was close to you Anne when I've heard the news
