So how was your day? glad you had a good end to the day Phil bought me a new bourbon, i'll have some tomorrow since i don't have to take Number One to work the car is in good hands, our mechanic actually rebuilt the engine and dropped in a new transmission, so it's in top shape but i don't think we did the brakes, lol! since his business is a mobile mechanic, he's got no real overhead so he doesn't charge a whole lot for work my day was OK, i have a confused customer i have to deal with tomorrow and another one who thinks i'm the best thing since sliced bread! 2

Which makes us feel very good. They are always dropping off baked goods - veggies from there garden and most Of us get at least 5 holiday cards from them. Most of the ladies are lonely and need a friend to talk to. So we will go the extra steps for them. Those few good customers make your job fun. 1 1

Fae Briona Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Glad your day ended on a positive note @rickproehl - always nice when that happens. I'm not in service, but try to approach things on the customer side in a similar way you treat the older customers. There are stores I frequent often and I treat the staff professionally but friendly. I've had friends surprised at the service I've received at some of those places, simple because I'm [gasp] treating the workers like actual people. Most amusing was a few years ago when the manager of a fast food place I went to most days for lunch (before the high blood pressure when I started to have to cut back on such things) gave me a birthday card. 💚 1 3

When dealing with any salespeople or waiters I treat them like I want to be treated. I know what it is like to on the receiving end of nasty customers. So a old saying you get more with honey then you do with vinegar. So Fae you feeling better? 2

Took two pain pills with breakfast then slept all morning -- just woke up a few min ago. Feeling better but that will only last as long as I keep weight off my hips (like laying down on sofa or in bed). Ordered pizza for lunch; will check work emails, read the newest chapter of Camp Refuge, then lay back down on the couch and before the joints start hurting too much again. 3 1

Reveal hidden contents obviously. I think your "Weird" comment is still the definitive reaction. Apparently the thumbs up wasn't bland enough.

After using it twice, I saw a huge improvement in my pain. Just did a third dose leading up to bedtime. Fingers crossed, I can finally get a good night’s sleep. Try: 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷 (just kidding, I hope you get some relief) 3 1
