Walmart Delivery


 

I had my groceries delivered from Walmart again today.  The last time, I saw that my bill included at $10 tip to the driver.  It seems to me that tips should be something that I give, not that Walmart automatically takes from me.  Today I had a more expensive order,  I suppose because I bought ground chuck and some other pricey groceries.  I was shocked to see my bill with a $25 tip on it that I didn't authorize.   Also, I had ordered potato chips, which I have done a couple of times.  It was the same experience.  Potato chips that were completely crunched into tiny bits.  The whole bag!  That's it.  I called Walmart's 800 number to complain.  "Never in my life have I given anyone a $25 tip!"  They removed the tip from my bill.  Also, they refunded the charge for the potato chips.  Do I give UPS a tip for delivering packages?  FedEx?  The Post Office?  Maybe if I ordered pizza delivery.  Do they think customers should tip the cashier at the register?

My Youtube Fantasy


 

I've been watching videos about cooking on Youtube.  Some of these chefs amaze me.  I thought I knew a lot.  They make me look like a beginner.  Anyway, what I do know is pretty good.  Therefore I need to make a Youtube cooking channel.  


What secret recipes would I share?  JalapeƱo poppers.  Beef stroganoff.  Oh there are so many.   One of the differences in what I see in most of these videos and what I make is that I usually eat a low carb diet, or some would say ketogenic.  I have seen keto recipe books, so it's not unexplored territory.  I would call it, "Helene - The Keto Chef Baby!"

Disturbing Runner


 

Today I drove down the road in the afternoon.  As I drove around a curve, the sun was in my eyes, blinding me.  I did the best I could, but I was horrified to realize that someone had just run out in front of me  to cross the road.  They just barely made it across the road without me hitting them.  No doubt they assumed I would slow down for them.  I would have, but they were completely invisible because of the glare of the sun right in front of me.   I only saw them on my left side after their escape from my reckless driving.

Pizza


 

I ordered pizza today.  I can't remember the last time I ordered pizza.  Usually if I want pizza I make Chef Boyardee.  I just don't much like Pizza Hut or any of the others around here.  But I decided to try one I haven't been to before.  Was it good?  It was OK.  I like the ones I make better.  I ordered large, supposing that would last today and tomorrow.  It was 10".  That's large?  Well, I think that was the only size they made.  Not going back.   




At the Beauty Shop

  Today was beauty shop day.  It's amazing the way the beauty shop causes ladies to chatter.   I suppose it's the way so many ladies...
