I can resist everything except temptation. - Anonymous

REALLY! Still eating everything!
Not smoking though!

When I got my last Stamp Club goodies, the instructor had cleaned off her desk and tossed the cast offs my way!
So far I've made these.


This one says "U, to have a Happy Birthday" on the inside.

This next one, I tried out my Large Classic Inverted Scalloped Square Nestabilities!
Lovin the nestabilities!
Did I mention I got them  HERE  for all you Canadian readers!?
This place rocks!
I ordered Thursday, my stuff was here Monday!
Gotta love that! 


It says 'Better Get Better" on the inside!
Of course I just had to scrunch up the ribbon, and slap on the biggest button I could find,
so it will. never. fit. through. Canada Posts. Normal. mail. slot!!
Cha ching!

Then, this evening I got fuel, at the bulk place....you know, one where you put your gas card in, punch in the pump # etc., it's after hours, there's no one in the office.....
Well, it's not -30, I had nothin better to do than stare at the pump.


Then I checked out my receipt!
Lets have our lesson of the day.
The pump says 57.43 litres.


My receipt says 67.43 litres.
HUH!?
I took the pump picture after I got the receipt!

But see, I think I got 57.43 litres in my vehicle, but my receipt says I'm paying for 67.43 litres!
I'm wondering how long something's been out, cause not everyone is anal like me and gets a receipt.
Most people fuel up, and drive away!
I WILL be calling Monday morning to take on Corporate America...ok Canada; and let me tell you that I'm batting about 0-5 right now!

But somethin ain't right!

Better go.
Am planning on going to the 'Material Girls' quilt show tomorrow.
Meeting my friend P there for the show, and lunch!
Gotta support the small town functions!
Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!

I found out the same lesson, if you don't look you'll get fleeced. Mind you it was only Sobey's and they refunded on the spot, but still---

Great creations Gail! I'd do the same as you and as anal about getting those receipts. Congrats on the not smoking, boy, I wish I could quit. Thanks so much for the kind comment on CCAYR. I really enjoyed being a GD for them. "Hugs" Carol

Give 'em hell girl! That is a big discrepancy! And with gas prices where they are now. . .Great cards, however I must be slowing down mentally, because I couldn't figure out what the sentiment meant on the first one. I kept saying it over and over again and kept thinking. . ."what?" then I read the front of the card again and went "duh!" Thanks for showing me it is time for bed. . .which by the way I'm going to probably have nightmares because of that face in the picture!!!!! Best, Curt

PS - I'm so proud of you for the stopping smoking! You can do it! I did it and can't believe I haven't smoked in almost 7 years now! It really does get easier! Best, Curt
