Walgreens.

hmmmm what should I whine and complain about today!

Gilda's Club - I'm a little pissed of at Gilda's Club as they are changing the name from Gilda's Club to CANCER SUPPORT COMMUNITY!

I'm a cancer survivor as I had a malignant melanoma so I can talk about this with a little knowledge.

I think it is a travesty how they can use Gilda Radner's name for their group but THEN come out and say, well, some people don't know who Gilda is so we're going to dump her.   WOW!  So they are basically famous name whores. Use'm up and throw it out!
  
I sent an email to info@GildasClubMadison.org saying

So once you have used up a woman's personality and name and she is no longer relevant and making money for you you just toss her out?  Even though she lost her life to cancer and helped your organization you just say "you are no longer needed"? 

I can't believe you are so uncaring at using Gilda's name but now just dump her.

I'm a cancer survivor and now I see your true colors.

I never used Gilda's Club. When I had cancer they sent me to a therapist and after 3 sessions I was sort of fired because I was not worried and depressed enough. Seriously, they kept telling me how I was blocking my feelings and not being all depressed and so forth.   I kept telling them that geez, I had the best technique (MOHS Chemo Surgery) in the world and they said they got 100% . . .why should I be worried and depressed??

Life is way to short to worry about something that I have no control of (basically). 

ANYWAY - back on topic.  If I was talking to someone about my cancer I would MUCH rather say I was attending Gilda's Club rather then saying I go to THE CANCER SUPPORT COMMUNITY!  I think they want people to be depressed and make them say the word cancer over and over and over again.

Send Gilda's Club an email.  Let's not forget Gilda.

OH - Summit Credit Union now charges you to exchange dollars for pennies!   F U Summit

Walgreen's - first I have to jump through hoops to sell postcards to Walgreen's.  Then they never actually get paid for those postcards (although they say they did but you would think I would remember getting two $80 checks) and then they cancel my account and I go to Walgreen' to get my postcard rack and they threw it out!


Sharrow Drugs left downtown Columbus because insurance companies were starting to drop small town drugstores and it was getting harder and harder to deal with them.  So when ShopKo said we will work with you and want Sharrow to be inside our store Nick was all for it.  All employees were be hired and so forth.

What did Walgreens do?  They put up a big sign saying WE WILL ACCEPT ALL SHARROW DRUG CUSTOMERS.

WOW -   Stealing Nicks customers?   Really?  Not very town friendly are you.  Nick Sharrow said (getting this like 12th hand) that he would have have gone out of business rather then work with Walgreens.

Had a little rain this weekend - finally.  Here is the race so far.  Remember - for NOAA the Water year begins October 1st. It's around that date when evapotranspiration diminishes and ground water starts to reload for next summer.   Here is the 4 year graph from October 1st for Columbus.

In case you are wondering - November was 3.3 degrees above the average high and 0.6 degrees above the average low.  1.49 inches below average in precipitation.

I brewed my Double Chocolate Stout Friday and watched Snow White and the Huntsmen.  Good movie.  Not really a mind bending plot twisty adventure but it was OK. 

I might be getting a man crush on Chris Hemsworth. 

Everything I have seen him in he seems to be a perfect fit.  Although I can't remember him in Star Trek as Jim Kirks dad.  









So I seem to be watching a lot TV shows where the characters have big accents.  In Copper all the actors have a huge Irish accent and in Hell On Wheels there are all sorts of conversation where I don't have a clue what they just said.   Is it me?  Have I lost the ability to hear the nuances of different dialects?  

Am I getting old?? WHAT DID YOU SAY SONNY??

On this day in 1818 Illinois became the 21st State . . . .sigh . . . .so so many things I could say.

Our refrigerator continues to rot the floor under it.  I believe it is the defrost heater that melts ice and the melted ice drips onto our floor. 

I THINK.  We had a Sears repairman come out when it was still under warranty and he basically threw his arms up and said I DON'T KNOW.   It only does this at like midnight and by the time I get around to looking for the problem, no sign of water.  

I can't figure out how to find the problem. The back for the frig does not come off. How can I get in there to look for anything loose. 

And our dishwasher is not dripping water every so often.  

No water coming out of our stove . . . yet!!

BTW - Packer fans should now be worried about Russel Wilson and the Seahawks because they have the tie breaker.
