Wal Mart....the portal to hell...

            Every year at this time, we get a new movie to add to our horror collection. It's been a tradition for us to watch a scary movie each night to celebrate halloween. We love it. This year's selection was "The Conjuring". I had to have it. Well, No problem. Easy to find. I'll just pop over to wal mart and grab a copy. Huh. This store doesn't have it. No problem. I'm sure another store has one. I'll just call and have them hold one for me. Huh. Ok, don't panic. With all the wal marts around here, I know I can find it. Still no problem. Huh. This is bizarre. Did every person in the free world have to have the exact same movie I did at the exact same time I was trying to get it? just as I was about to give up, I called one last store. YAY! They have it! We drop what we're doing to go to the wal mart on the other side of town and use up our gas. Because wal mart is the portal to hell, you know how this ends. They don't have it. 2 hours, a tank of gas and 17 bad words later, this movie is STILL not in my possession. stupid wal mart wankers...bear in mind, this is also the same place that schedules only 3 people to work at any given time. You get 4 people on Saturday and when it's super busy. But one of them doesn't speak any english and hides in the back somewhere, and the other guy is riding around on that big floor ice rink cleaning machine. So that leaves 2 people who may or may not be minding the registers. But we put up with it because they're cheap. When you're poor, cheap is good.....sigh....

       One person selling cheap crap you need since 1962. Thank you for shopping with us....

                                          I know you're wondering if I ever got my movie. Yes. yes I did. Found it at Target with no problem. Ordered it online and they had it at the store ready for me to pick up. That'll learn me. Thank you target, for not being wankers....

buying a house...aka..paperwork

                 We're trying to buy our house. We were supposed to buy it months ago, but we've come to the realization that you can't buy a house. Ever. There's no such thing. Oh sure, they SAY you can buy a house no problem but it's a lie. When they say you can buy a house, what they really mean is paperwork. It's filling out forms, signing forms, faxing forms, getting forms to fill out more forms to give to people so they can give you more forms. And then you do it all over again....after you fill out those forms. So basically buying a house is just lots of paperwork. And this whole process takes about 9 years. But it's worth it...it's a happy, happy day when all the forms have been filled out and signed, tucked neatly inside a folder and handed to you...YAY! You are now the proud owner of 200 pages of forms and paperwork! Congratulations! Oh wait....you didn't want the house, did you? We didn't think so...here, fill this out...

                                I was in the hospital several years ago with gall stones and had to have my gallbladder out. One form...that was it...they removed body parts and it only took one form. So basically it's easier to have internal organs ripped from your body than it is to buy a house....go figure...
