Another Car Dealer

mar 15

steps 10,500

Before the car dealer yesterday, we stopped by another dealer. I could not get out of there fast enough. We drove around the lot and no one came out to us. Finally a guy not a salesman walked by and said he would go get someone and told us to park 'up there' pointing to the building.

We drove up to the building and waited. A man came out and walked right past us and stood on passenger side of the car facing away from us. Finally, I rolled down the window and spoke to him. He said he was looking for us. That seemed weird since he passed us and stood near us. 

He was handing me a card and called me "Baby." I said sternly, "Don't call me "Baby." "Oh, I am a Christian and I just luuuv everybody." I started yelling at him--Yeah, I know your kind, preaching or going to church and then going out and loving everyone you can! Go away!" We drove away to the young lady with whom we talked next at another dealership. 

I asked Tommy if my reaction was wrong. He said no that the guy should have kept his mouth shut. His response was all kinds of wrong.

We told the young woman we would come back today. She gave me a card and told me it was her personal cell. Now, I cannot find it. I suppose it is in the car. But, it is too windy to go out. It was too windy to go to the car dealer. I suppose she figured it out. 

Tommy finally woke at 4:30 pm. I thought maybe he had not slept all night, so I didn't turn on tv or disturb him. No, he had a sinus headache but refuses to do anything for it. These headaches usually last three days. 

Tommy must have a haircut before he leaves the house again! Mine needs color!

We are trying to watch TV. Weather has been on all stations. Everyone is looking at tornado possibilities. It looks grim. I suppose we will know in the morning what happened. 

Tommy may not feel like car shopping on Sunday. Car lots may not be open on Sunday. I still do not feel well at all. Yesterday, I could barely pedal. Today is a bit better. 

A bag of the opened Black Kow fell off another one. The black was escaping in the wind! My deer even though still on the porch were blown around on the porch. I was surprised they were still there.

Okay, we are clear of weather danger, but some of the state is still being watched.  

How has the weather been at your house? Wind? Tornadoes? Flooding? 

Car Shopping

 We had something to do today which was cancelled, maybe because of impending storms. I said to Tommy, "Why don't we go to the car place and look at cars?" After we finally figured out where I was talking about, we went there. 

As we were talking to saleswoman, she asked if we were interested in a hybrid I said no as Tommy said yes. I was shocked. So, we tried a hybrid. Well, I test it for ease of entry and if it hurts my back. 

There were brilliant blue like we wanted, new cars. Tommy was willing to buy that for me! I want a light car for safety reasons. I said wistfully that I wished they were pink. She said I could 'wrap' it. Like Saran Wrap? 

Is this wrapping sturdy? I never heard of it.

She said to come back tomorrow and they would get one like we wanted. I think we cannot buy a newer car since the seat backs have changed. 

This woman was doing a good job helping us. She was black, but when she went back inside for something, a very stern-looking black man came back out with her. He was looking very stern. He quickly came and leaned on the window on passenger side and said, "Now, what is it you are looking for? I looked him dead in the eye without a bit of friendliness in my demeanor and said, "We have already told her what we want. She knows, and she is doing a very good job helping us." He said he was just trying to help her. I said something to the effect that it did not appear she needed any help. Finally, he asked her what we wanted. He treated her so nasty. I told her I hated he talked down to her. She said the guys in there always treated her that way. 

I told her she should get some fuzzy slippers instead of the heels she was wearing. She said she was required to wear heels, and bitterly said the guys could wear sneakers. I would hate to be in the workforce this day and age. Flat shoes are okay for teachers and researchers, thankfully. My neighbor had to wear a longline bra and a girdle and heels and hose to teach first grade! She taught 80 years ago.

We came home after picking up bread bogo at Publix. Shopping for cars is exhausting. 

We tried to pick up a prescription for me, but it was not ready for the third day. Finally, after returning and sitting in line for over 45 minutes, we got both. There were only two people/cars ahead of us. Eventually, there were 8 behind and 5 of them left. This was the cream for me to rub on my endometriosis. NOT Thankfully, there were directions on the tube. 

Chances are great we will have an outbreak of tornadoes. I will sleep here in my chair in the living room until I cannot sleep. I would hate to lose all my possessions again. The tree in the backyard will come down in the wind one day. It is so weak and large that it would come through my bedroom in the front of the house. Yikes. Lights are in place. We both have our chargers on our chairs. We won't be stuck in the reclining position...lol. 

Tommy went into the kitchen to get his dinner as I wanted none. After 30 minutes and little noise, I went there to see what was happening. He was making a pizza! I had  bought a package of three pizza crusts on sale. He said he could not make pizza because he had no pizza pan. I do think there are round pizza pans, but he was having none of it. I told him the crust would work on the big rectangular pan, and if it did not, just fold up two of the sides. 

Finally, today, I told him to remember the crusts, the pizza sauce, cheese, and the hamburger meat he had cooked. And that he could put anything on it that he wanted. So, he was making pizza. He got a huge salad and looked happy. I wonder why he pushes so about some simple things.

At this point, we are watching the weather for a possible tornado. The wind made it hard to walk up the ramp, but the wind is down now. 

Are you in danger of violent weather according to the television? 

Pizza Deal; Celery Deal; Tomato Deal

It was very late and I gave in to my urge for pizza that had continued unabated for weeks. As I headed home from WM, I decided to stop in and get a pizza. Since all the lights were on, including the drive up window light, I thought they were open.

Well, no they were not open. The guy unlocked the window and told me they were closed and about to go out the door. I asked if he did not have even one pizza. "Well, we have one large pepperoni pizza that is cold and not very good." "How much does a cold and not very good pizza cost."  "$2."

I never ever eat pepperoni since I am allergic to pepperoni. I thought I would do like everyone suggests and just pick the pepperoni off. By the way, I never do that. Now, I know why. I had a bad reaction to the pizza even with the pepperoni picked off and tossed.

Now, there are three packages of pizza in the freezer for exbf. Boo! I still want a Dominos pizza. What I had was just a poor substitute that leaves me still unsatisfied.

Why do people think picking out the part to which you are allergic will work? No, it does not.

Celery is $0.50/head. A pint of grape tomatoes is $0.98/pt. I bought seven pints of tomatoes and five of celery. Both are destined for the dehydrator.

Your turn
Have you found any pizza deals after hours? Do people ever suggest picking out things that you are allergic to as though nothing will be left behind that affects you adversely? Are there any celery or grape tomato deals in your area? What are the deals where you live?
