Help !!! I am a battered husband !! For the past two weeks I have been "MALLED " daily. unmercifally, from one place to the other with no respite. My only reason for being there in the first place was the fact that I was elected the designated shlepper. My back is out. my muscles ache and my wallet sadly depleted. The last straw was today, whilst in a Dollar store ( the only place where I can afford to shop) a customer was haggling over a price. Tonight, when all are asleep, I will immerse ( not drown ) myself in "Walden Pond ", a simpler place, when names like Home Depot, Filene's, Sam's Club, K-Mart were unheard of. Tomorrow, I shall arise early and hie myself into the deep woods before anyone discovers that things don't fit or of the wrong color or fabric... I don't know if this is the proper thread to post this on... but I don't much care and if my spelling, punctuation or grammar is out of order...tough....and any split infinitives, if there be any, will remain split!!! If Y2k shuts down all store computers and if the banks do not open...so be it !!! At this stage, I would welcome it. Thanks for listening...anyone !!!.........nysebob |
