OK, here’s the scenario. Last weekend, some friends and I were out to eat. I ordered a cheeseburger that looked amazing on the menu, and when it showed up, it looked equally amazing! My first bite seemed a little bit off, as I felt something tugging on my lower lip, I could instantly tell that what I felt was a hair. It was a long, bright, red hair, not naturally red either, this was red-red, and from a box. Not that it matters because any hair is equally disgusting. The waitress came over to ask if we were enjoying our food. I asked her if the cook has long red hair by chance. She laughed and said, “Yes, she’s not even supposed to be cooking today!” I think she automatically assumed that I knew who the cook was. The truth is, I did not know the cook, but I knew that she had long red hair….and I was hoping that she had showered that day because her hair was in my mouth. I showed the waitress the hair, and she apologized and said, “I’ll check back in later.” About 10 minutes later, she came back to the table and asked if there’s anything else we would like, as she dropped the check on the table. No discount, no coupon, no free dessert, no offer to bring me a different burger, just an apology. I guess it was good that I got the apology. I didn’t make a big deal about it. What would you have done?

Night Sweats!
I know it is summertime, and we have been dealing with some warm and humid weather conditions. I also know that the airflow in my house is subpar. Like many homes, the (cold) air conditioned air works its way to the basement, while the upstairs is much stuffier. Unfortunately, my bedroom is upstairs. I’ve actually […]

Woodstock 2029?
Netflix just released the new documentary highlighting the train wreck that was Woodstock 1999. Woodstock 1999 was commemorating 30 years since the original Woodstock in 1969. The two concert festivals were not held in the exact same location, which, according to the documentary, might have actually been part of the reason why it went so […]

Unread E-mails
I’m going to take a guess that most of us can relate to this topic. Having unread emails in our inbox. Maybe you have multiple email accounts with a bunch of unread messages. I have a handful of different accounts for different parts of my life, and right now the number of unread messages, in […]
