I'm exhausted, and we haven't even bought anything yet! That's okay. I'm just grateful for the time Roo and I had together.
My favourite part of the whole day was when Roo would politely call the salesmen liars. Poor buggers. Too bad they feel the need. If they only didn't lie, they wouldn't have to tun all red and start stuttering. lmao
And I can't figure out how a couch turned into a couch, a loveseat, a recliner, a coffee table, and an occasional table for under the TV?? Damn lying salesmen!
And speaking of liars, I tried to donate $.01 to the Donald Trump campaign today just because I thought it would be funny, but apparently they are not allowed to take foreign contributions. Besides, the minimum donation was $1.00 and that's $0.99 too rich for me.
It occurs to me that all furniture sales people and all politicians have the same problem with the truth.
And I feel really crappy physically today so it's damn good to know that that's exactly what I want....it's a Byron Katie thing...
And although I decided against the top ten symptoms of what's wrong with the world I may still try to throw one in every once in a while. Here's todays.
Did you know that the US navy is about to launch a new boat. Yup! A brand spanking new aircraft carrier. They've been working on it for more than 10 years now, but she's just about ready. Would you like to know how much it cost, this machine of war. This machine that serves absolutely no other purpose. Well I'm gonna tell you! 13 billion USD or about 16.5 billion CAD!
That looks like this ----13,000,000,000.00 USD!!!
Thats about 40 bucks for every american, man, woman and child!
Or about 2 bucks for every living human being!!
Oh, and they can put about 75 airplanes on this boat....they're extra though!

I initially thought you were shopping from the couch, not for a couch! Pics please!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I want pics too! What kind of couch are you looking for? Presumably you left empty handed because you didn't find something you liked, or you didn't get the price you wanted. Or maybe just because they were lying salesmen?

I want to know what the salesmen were lying about, in case it can help me next time I'm shopping.
