HAIRCUT PAYBACK
A couple of years ago I was cutting Kenneth's hair.
I forgot to put the guard back on.
I put the clippers on the back of his neck, And proceeded to take a BIG chunk from the back of his head. I screamed, "OH NO." Hugged him and started to laugh nervously.
When I dared to tell him what I had done, he laughed too. I didn't think it was a laughing matter!
I plead with him to go get the Barber to fix it. "What would he look like with a crew cut?" I thought. I could just see it now.
We had a party that night, I didn't want go. Oh boy, he did.
He showed off his new hairdo, he was so proud.
The next morning was church, I was mortified when he walked right up to the stand and took his seat.
He did go to "Tom's Barber Shop" on Monday night, and he did a terrific job. Needless to say, I do not cut his hair, not even a trim. He got too much delight from it.
So, last week, I went to get my hair cut by a girl who has done it before and did a great job.
I should have gone with my gut feeling and said let's do it later. All though the cut she was talking to her husband on the cell phone. They were discussing
"The EX WIFE" and trying to fix a custody battle.
I have a very "Different" haircut, but I am trying to laugh about it.

Walgreens vs Costco, You decide, I did !
This story all began when,
"Our home town drugstore" sold out to Walgreen's.
I have been trying to get my husbands prescriptions since they opened the first part of November.
Just a few things that have happened: They say that the insurance will not pay for another 2 days. I say, "He doesn't have insurance."
Another day they give us Vaginal Cream. I say "This is not for us."
They say, "OK we will keep it on the shelf for 10 days if you decide you want it."
I think to myself, "Oh, my."
Another day, they say, "Oh we can do it after 3:00PM."
It is 1:30PM, I walk around the store, go the the library, pick up a book on tape that is being held for me. The CD is the new Richard Paul Evans book "Grace"
Come home for awhile, do the things you have to do when you have just finished your Diet Pepsi, then decide to go back to Walgreen's. It is now 4:30, plenty of time right? Go wait in line and guess what? They tell me it's not ready.
Are you still with me?
Here comes the clincher, last night at 5:30 I call and they say, "Yes, we have two ready for him."
I am happy, and he will be also. (You know how we all like to make brownie points?)
They ring it up and say "$225.98." and that they need to see his insurance card, remember he doesn't have one?
I am passing out and say, "It was never this much at David's."They say,"Well, you were getting a good deal."
What's the saying, you don't know what you have until it's gone? Did I realize how good he was to us? Maybe not. Thanks, Dave.
I am trying to be tough and ask them if I could have generic, they tell me that is what they are.
By this time, I am thinking, "We should have tried that vaginal cream on his nose, it was only $12.00 and the RX was $170.99.
I go home,
talk to my husband and we decide I should take them back.
This time I try the cool Drive-thru window.
The girl whom I do not know, says, " Once it leaves the store, you can't bring it back, we can't put it back on the shelf, we will have to send it back to the drug company."
I am thinking, "Do I really care?"
She is getting annoyed at me, and finally she says, "We can take it back this ONE time as a courtesy."
She goes to get a manager, who happens to be my friend.
I think she has been told about the "Mean lady" at the window.
My friend has a funny look on her face when sees me. She says to me, Are you OK?"
"Not really" I say, "I just can't believe that it costs this much."
I am a little shaking, try to calm myself down, I tell her thanks and Goodnight.
I turn on the key, click,click,click.
I can't believe it, the van will not start, a little tear falls down my cheek.
Thank goodness for my Knight in shinning armour who comes to the rescue. (after all, remember who this stuff is for?)
He jumps me right there in the parking lot. (I mean the van)
OK, Hooray for Costco!!!!!
The RX that was $170.99 at Walgreen's - $30.21 at Costco
2ND RX that was $ 54.99 at Walgreen's - $14.88 at Costco
Walgreens $225.98
Costco $ 45.09
Difference $180.89
Well, what do you think?
True story, I have the reciepts to prove it, and, yes, I feel better!!
