Sad

Seen at my doctor's office recently...

Is this the future of America? 

PS) This person was not too sick to get dressed as they clearly weren't seeing the doctor for any treatment. I know this because I was at an ob-gyne office.

Lesson

Ignoring a person comes in many forms. Whether it's losing contact (intentional or not), or ignoring someone's feelings or ignoring the things they say...it all hurts and teaches the recipient of the cold shoulder how to move along in life without being able to depend on others. Be careful of how you do, or don't, interact with others. You could be teaching them lessons you don't want them to learn.

CVS

My recent encounter when visiting a local CVS Minute Clinic...

Lady Standing at Registration Kiosk: ***doing nothing ***

Me: Hi, are you registering? (points to kiosk)

Lady Standing at Registration Kiosk: No, go ahead.

Me: Ok, thanks! (proceeds to sign in and then heads to the next aisle over to peruse store items)

Lady Standing at Registration Kiosk: (griping to the doctor) I got cut in front of but I was next in line, you should see me next!

Me: (returning to the kiosk area and give immediate look of disgust) Really?

Lady Standing at Registration Kiosk: (gives look of shame) I have to have my child back to school by 3:30, do you mind if I go next? I registered elsewhere and thought I was registered here.

Doctor: (confused)

Me: Sure, you were indeed here first however I didn't "cut" in front of you. So, since you can't understand basic instructions, go ahead.

Doctor: (still confused)

Lady Standing at Registration Kiosk: (upon leaving exam room and walking by) Thank you so much!

Me: Whatever idiot.

Wordless Wednesday

~ Welcome Weekend Visitor! ~ 

59

This coming weekend I will be tackling my 59th movie from the American Film Institute's Top 100 American Films! Can't wait to watch this block buster, the first movie with stop motion animation! I know by today's standards this movie will appear completely antiquated and cheesy, but I will try to mentally set my anticipation to that of a mind seeing this film for the first time in 1933. 

Once again, I am thankful to Fathom Events for hosting the classics for me to see on the big screen, where they belong! King Kong has endured not only the ages of time, but much racial criticism and censorship along the way. Despite it's varied re-releases and editing over the years, including a colorized version for TV, I will be happy to see this in it's original format. 

Having visited New York last year along with the top of the Empire State Building, it will be neat to see the New York of 1933. Fingers crossed and popcorn buttered for a great movie date ahead! 

Monday

I struggle with this, and not just on Mondays. To all my warrior friends, keep your chin up and keep moving forward! Sometimes, you must fight the same battle more than once in order to win.
