Did the Do shopping earlier. Ralph's parking lot was very full but I got lucky and got a space right near the doors.

Happily, they had all checkout lines open so once I had everything I got out of there in two minutes. I had a list to make sure I didn't forget anything. Unfortunately, I forgot to put two things on the list, so I'll either go back tonight so I don't have to go out tomorrow at all, or tomorrow when I get up. I'm thinking tonight. Stop at the mail place and see if either important envelope arrived.

While interesting, and great in the dark, I really don't like either lid up on a toilet

Yes, but then you wouldn't have seen the "glow."

I sense a classic DR vixmom story coming on.

Meantime the1st customer was still.on a call at one of the counters

DR vixmom, when you win the Powerball tonight, the wait will seem insignificant.

vixmom · « **Reply #192 on:** December 30, 2023, 07:15:15 PM »

And the woman employee was still working with the same customer as when we arrived

vixmom · « **Reply #193 on:** December 30, 2023, 07:16:35 PM »

Finally the couple in front of us left but the rest of the people were still doing what they were doing

I was starting to think it was a reality TV show or something and they were just pretending to be busy to see how long we would wait before complaining

Pretending to be Bush is the title of my next memoir.

But we can be patient people, so other than checking the time periodically and looking at one another we didnt say a word the whole time about the wait

It is a merry, madcap tale of confused identities.

Finally it was our turn.

Brits are famous for their ability to patiently queue.

vixmom · « **Reply #204 on:** December 30, 2023, 07:21:09 PM »

The guy took back the main box and checked it in .

singdaw · « **Reply #205 on:** December 30, 2023, 07:21:13 PM »

I like the word "queue."

singdaw · « **Reply #206 on:** December 30, 2023, 07:21:26 PM »

Actually doing it, not so much.

We told him we wanted to just return the bedroom box, but he said it was not affected by the 2024 software changes and we could just use it instead of the main box.

We were finished with out transaction, including opening and closing pleasantries in about 7 minutes.
