When an option is not an option

I stopped into my local Wawa this morning to pick up some cash and some milk. Wawa offers free-of-charge ATM withdrawals, which pleases me greatly. However, the ATM, managed by PNC Bank, needs some edits to its software.

Please study the image below.

You will note that a withdrawal of $10, $30, or $50 are all listed as possible options for obtaining cash.

When I asked for $50 earlier this morning, I ran into the following notice.

Wait! What? Withdrawals have to be in multiples of $20? Then why even give me the other options? Arggghhh …

Your daily dose of cheese

Don't annoy the crazy person staring at the computer ...

Upon receiving a book that I ordered through the post the other day, I was surprised to find a small collection of business cards with cheesy little saying written on them. I thought I would share them with the world, so we can all enjoy this cheesefest.

TREAT EACH DAY AS YOUR LAST … Someday you’ll be right!

THE FOUR RULES FOR SUCCESS

#1– Show up.
#2– Pay attention.
#3– Ask questions.
#4– Repeat the above!

THIS ONLY LOOKS LIKE A DESK … It’s actually a large trash can with drawers and four legs!

IT’S NICE TO BE IMPORTANT … But more important to be nice!

WISDOM IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS:
(1) having a great deal to say;
(2) not saying it.

A GOOD EXERCISE FOR THE HEART … Is to bend down and help another up!

And my personal favorite of the lot …

THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE … Aren’t really things at all.

Now, go into the world and be inspired!

The sickish yellow of decaying food

Teeth cleaning toolsFor the record, I brush my teeth. I floss too. Regularly. I am told by dentistry professionals that I have nice chompers. No cavities. (I thought I should start this post with this declaration.)

When I floss my teeth, I notice that the little bits of food that get pulled out from their hiding places by the dental floss are always a sallow, gross yellow. Whether I had burgers, chicken, pasta, or soup, the stuck bits of food are always a similarly disgusting hue of yellow.

Why is that? It’s pretty gross.

Over-stuffed, but under-filled

Wrapping up my time abroad, I faced a problem that so many travelers do. So much more to bring home than I brought there.

I like to travel light, so I only had one big bag and one small bag. It took hours of arranging, squeezing and cajoling to pack everything into these two bags.  I even had to ask my friend to lend me a hand to close the zipper.

And at the end of it all, what do I discover?

I’d left one of the outside pockets completely empty! Oh the joys of packing. Wah-wah-wah.
