...for some good old-fashioned soap box venting. I think that I will periodically revisit this topic whenever the need arises.
Vent #1 What's really sad about this particular vent is that I blogged about it on my pre-baby blog which I have since deleted. But it's become SO much worse that I have to revisit the subject. What exactly is the deal with the current hostage situation between fast food restaurants and their precious, precious condiments? Why am I being forced to beg for condiments? Is there some sort of ketchup crisis that I am not aware of? I had to physically shove my bag back to the lady at the window today and ask for a lot of ketchup and she then gave me 2 packets. So then I shoved it back and asked for more. I can't decide if this is a money saving thing or a time saving thing but I am making it my mission to make sure that it takes twice the amount of time then if they had just asked if I wanted condiments in the first place!!! Do people not eat ketchup up with fries any more? Have I missed this development? This is the United States of Sweet America and I am not going to take it any more!
Vent #2 What's with the dead sea salt people at the mall? I don't want your lotion!!! Now they have decided to get sneaky and instead of asking if you'd like to try the lotion they say "Can I ask you something?" to which I happily reply Nope! and keep on walking.
Vent #3 Rick Mitchell. Rick, I know that it's going to possibly rain 6 days from now in Northern Kansas and that this information is vitally important to our continued existence, but does this information necessitate interrupting Miss Oprah everyday? I don't think it does Rick. The other two weathermen break into programming when there is actually bad weather. Why don't we try that on for size? A new season of Lost is about to start and I will hurt you if you interrupt it to tell me it's windy outside.

HA! WE have dead sea salt people at OUR mall too! Their method is to ask if you'd like a free mini-manicure. And their little kiosk is RIGHT in the middle of the mall. I've gotten to where I just avoid eye contact and breeze on by.
RicK Mitchell's a liar!! (Oh, an sorry about the noisier child. I think we encourage each other.)
Oh I cannot handle those Dead Sea salt people. I don't ever look at them or respond when they speak to me. Also regarding fast food drive-thrus, why don't they ever put napkins in the bag?? If you need a napkin anyway, it's in the car!
Yes the Dead Sea Salt people are maddening!! Brad and I now play a game to see just how far against the wall and how much we can avoid eye contact with that stupid kiosk!
And I totally agree on the ketchup...used to we'd have a drawer full of packets in the fridge because you get so many...
ha ha so funny! I can't stand when they break into good TV either
