The True Treasure

So I've found myself a new obsession (I am my mother's daughter)... Netflix instant play! I love Netflix and all the choices that they have - and now I just can't get enough of watching TV on my computer. So I think I mentioned a while back that my newest favorite show is NCIS - great characters, great show and just a lot of fun. Over the last several months I've been watching Season's 1 - 5. Season 6 was on this last year - but haven't really been keeping up - well, on Netflix I can watch Season 6 instantly - very cool! But even better - there are other shows from when I was a kid that I can watch instantly - like the Hardy Boys / Nancy Drew Mysteries - they weren't quite as good as I remember - but the true treasure that I found... the adventures of Roy DeSoto and John Gage - and of course, nurse Dixie... Emergency! It was one of my favorite shows as a kid and I don't think I realized back then how campy and melodramatic the show is - but I have been enjoying it! And the clothing - hilarious!

You Want To Use This?

So check it out... kids today... I went to Chronic Taco at lunch today - mmmm - yummy! And the bill was $8.69 - so I gave the kid $10.70. I gave him the change first and started to hand him the 10 dollar bill and he just looked at me all confused and said 'this is 70 cents.' So then I was confused and asked how much the total was - maybe I didn't hear it correctly - I did - $8.69. At this point, I wasn't really sure how to respond - so I handed him the 10 and he still looked at me confused and said ' you want to use this?' - referring to the change - and all I could think to say was - just type it into the computer and it will help you make change - which I didn't, of course - all I could say in my 'are you kidding' stupor was - Yes. So he typed it in and lo and behold it must have told him I needed $2.01 back - at least he was able to comprehend and count that out for me... I just had to laugh as I left the place. God Bless Him!
