Coffee anyone ?

[Blue Sky]

Yep...retail store planograms. Some are nicer than others! . Both stores & Pogs.

A better day, ate lunch! Stopped at 3:30 and came home. Delivered eggs to DD, put a big baking hen in oven, dishwasher going, did feeding early and I'm having a glass of wine, relaxing! Another hour or so and I'll eat. While oven on, put a pan of leftover fats from some country ribs in there to render. Waste not, want not. Cook meals and heat house all at once. . That chicken will be several meals, plus a carcass for broth. A pan of brownies might get tossed in there. Hey. I love chocolate.

Almost 6pm and still light out! Woohoo...love longer days! Still need to go close coops. No biggie.

Ah poga-tory. Not hell but you wish you were someplace else. Been there done that. Who needs 16 varieties of Tide?

When they move stuff around in the grocery store... I TRULY look like I lost half my IQ.

I will enter an isle and just stand there looking at a shelf... thinking... "but, but.. the cinnamon is supposed to be at eye height.. my hand should be able to touch it... right there... right there.... and.... and.... I see juice. But, that shouldn't be juice... it should be cinnamon. Juice is 2 isles down, West side, middle of row, below eye level.... this is juice... East side of row...AT eye level... the juice is at eye level, on the East side... I am facing East... and looking at juice..... that is wrong..."

And my mind spirals....

It is as if I lose the ability to read.....

I just stand there... looking at stuff that is where it shouldn't be....

And I am so bewildered .....

It takes me a few trips to get the new configuration set in my head.

Shot this pic eating breakfast on Saturday 0 out that morning.

I have learned and am learning to listen and read what others say more and enjoy what I have been given by God. Mentally and physically.

That is a pretty picture @Simpleterrier Zero degrees? That's COLD!!

 

[farmerjan]

Nice picture. Have see some 0 temps in my life... more in Ct than here in Va but there are some occasionally here. Yep, it's cold.... I try to be thankful for what I have here... But the weather has been really up and down and we get more ice/rain/snow mixes and honestly, having just snow is preferable. And as I get older, I like the warmth more and more. Couldn't handle the temps of the deep south; I like the 4 seasons... just don't want too much of the cold season anymore.

Or sizes! 5, 10,15, 25 capsules??? What? Why not 10, 50, 100! Plenty. And I go to various stores, so a bad set can "maka ya crazy" by end of week and 6th repeat.

Yeah, customers always ask questions because they think I work for the store. Nope, just come in and move things around so you can't find them!

When I worked for the garbage company as purchaser, I was in Lowes so much that customers thought I worked there. And the heck of it was that I could tell them where to find what they were looking for!

I’m right between two feed stores. Yikes it gets a little crazy, where chicken feed should be is castration tools and where needles are there’s actually hay. I think I have to just stick to one to keep my sanity.

I told off the mgr at the TSC a couple years ago.... We needed some tines for the side delivery rake and I ran in to get them so I could get home and put them in the rake and get on the tractor... NOPE... they had rearranged the store in the week or so since I had been there.... Couldn't find them, help didn't know where they were... mgr came back from lunch and had to get him and I told him just what I thought of all the stupid move everything... that was why REAL FARMERS were not coming in there to get stuff... because we wanted to come in get it and get out and get back to work. If it wasn't a Sunday... I never would have gone in there anyway.....
I understand that it is the store's way to get people to "BROWSE" more and then they buy more impulse stuff... but I told them that they needed to leave the actual FARM stuff alone so people would be willing to come in and get stuff because most of us did not have time for all that BS.... a year later when I was in there he just happened to be on the floor supervising and I went to get something and it was right where it had been... and he came by and said aren't you the lady that told me to not move the real farmers stuff around... and I said, yes,,,, and he said well, you were right... we have more farmers coming in for stuff because they said they can come in and get what they need and don't have to go looking or asking for stuff. I took alot of heat from the main office and I told them that I was trying to cater to both the weekend person and the full time farmer, and that I had increased sales so that was how I was going to run my store; and they have left me alone. So, I get some of their reset stuff... but those of us that deal with places want things to be where we can find the basics..... and we spend alot of money in these places over the course of the year....
