I Am Angry Today Because . . .

[AnnaMarie]

I guess I've been forgiven. DS is still really stressed and grumpy over school, but I went out to do some shopping yesterday, and when I got home he had washed up the dirty dishes. I had not asked him to, and there were enough clean for his breakfast, but he just did it. I did thank him.

~~~

And now something that I really am angry about.

I went to Michael's to buy some craft supplies. One thing rang up at $1.89 instead of 29 cents. I said I'd pay and then go check the shelf, rather than hold the line up. ($1.89 is not a lot of money, but it's 4x the price.)

The way it was marked on the shelf was very misleading. When I checked, I could now see the correct price, but it was an easy mistake to make. I wanted to request they make it clear. But nobody works in that department.

The one employee I found said it wasn't her department. She tried to call a manager, but they responded that they were busy. (THEY meaning more than one) I left and I will be sending an e-mail, including telling them what craft store will become my new regular craft supply store.

I am angrier about nobody caring to help an employee than I am over the price.

Is the activation of our modes dependent on others?

It can be. Say your'e in a good mood at home, so there's nothing to ruin that unless you see something that makes you mad on the TV or something. Unfortunately, we cant' live in a vacuum. Good nature and happiness these days, I think, are seen as weakness. And the politicinas go "Oh, we don't understand why people are so aggressive even though they don't give a stuff about if you might have fought for your country and because of circumstances they don't give a stuff. Dog eat Dog.

A Michael's opened here recently. I had a 40% off coupon from a flyer, so I decided to check it out. Wasn't impressed - I didn't think the selection was very good. Unfortunately, the best local craft store we have is Hobby Lobby. It is about six times the size of the Michael's store.

Michael's is selling less and less of my craft supplies. And ordering on-line is such a hassle for me. I'm going to check out Mary Maxim. Where it is, we may not be able to park though.

I try hard not to shop at my local hobby lobby. I don't want to give them my money but I will if it is an item I just can't find anywhere else. They do have a lot of great supplies. But if I can find them elsewhere conveniently, I will buy it elsewhere.

I have never heard of Hobby Lobby but it sounds like my kind of store. There is a huge Michael's in Kelowna but it
is very expensive. Once in awhile there is a 50% off coupon in their flyer. They sell the best card stock and envelopes
that I have been able to find so far. But they are pricey $40. for 50 cards and envelopes.

go online to their website and print coupons. You can walk in there every time with at least a 40% off coupon.

I've actually printed two coupons before and made my husband go through the line with something I needed.

No, we made it out unscathed!

The one near me has free wifi, so if you forget you can show a coupon on a smart phone.

I don't think Hobby Lobby is in Canada.

If it was here, I would likely avoid it over political reasons. (Not wanting to argue or debate. Just saying ME. )

I am a couponaholic. I know it's not a real word but definitely describes me. Twice a week free local newspapers are delivered and
put in the lobby. I take 6 of em, remove the coupon books and put the newspapers back at the bottom of the pile. Finally have a
printer and now I can print multi copies of coupons too. Especially the B1G1 free product coupons

Well, this is cool other than you are taking someone's coupon book! Just go to their web sites and print coupons, these companies always have printable coupons.

I've been missing some coupons lately in my daily.....

No I made sure I wasn't taking someone else's. They bring 50 newspapers each time and there is 36 apts. I put the ones I have
taken from at the bottom so no one gets a newspaper without a coupon book. But I don't think anyone uses them because I
see all kinds of them in the recycling bin. (No, I don't dumpster dive, I have my limits. )
