Bling Ring
Leggings
Ringworm Cream
-Tinactin
-Micatin
-Monistat
Which of these things don't belong? I know you're thinking Ringworm cream and you would be right. It sticks out like a nun requesting birth control or valtex.
So who knew Ringworm is not actually caused by Worms. I didn't. When someone commented on a 1/2 inch diameter rash on my arm and said it looked like ringworm I was mortified. What were they accusing me of? Improper contact with animals? not getting vaccinated as a child?
No turns out it's sorta like athletes foot and very common. It just has the worst sounding name. But it itches like crazy and I don't want it to get any larger, so I need to treat it with one of the above.
I bought a dress for the Murder Mystery at Value Village. It's very Marilyn and the tag said only $6.99. I was ecstatic. Until the lady rung me up and I guess I had read the tag wrong. I hate being one of those confrontational people at the cash register so I just went along with it and acted like I always spend 20 buck for dresses at Value village (Pretty sure that was the first time).
On Wednesday I worked at Costco--long story (It was just a two day thing) But while manning my booth I bought a fountain drink and set it at one end. This lady comes up and is looking at the merchandise, she walks all the way around, and then while chatting with her daughter she picks up my coke, takes a long grandpa length guzzle and carries it to the other side. Then she pauses, looks down at the drink and to no one in particular says out loud "Oh...this isn't mine." She walks over to where she picked it up, sets it down and quickly walks away.
What would you do in this situation? I'll be honest I was torn. Not about confronting the sipping thief, but about finishing the drink. I had just bought it. It was still full. And I was thirsty and in for a long night of working retail. I needed caffeine.
I'll confess. I got a new straw and totally finished the drink. Soon after that I broke out in ringworm--ha ha just kidding.

tough call on the drink...I too would have felt torn and yes would have thrown out the straw and enjoyed my drink. When you need a drink you need a drink. You have so many posts all of a sudden. I'm a bit overwhelmed trying to catch up!
I would have drank it too. but this coming from the girl who seriously contemplated eating a piece of chocolate off the road...hey, it was dark chocolate and it was still in the wrapper!!
