thanks

 I had a nice experience today


    Took my new cellphone back to  the X finite people, then I went to Good Friday services.

    Jackie stayed home.  She wasn't comfortable going out with the threat of storms and all.

    After church, I stopped at Popeye's in DeKalb for some shrimp.

    The lady ahead of me asked several questions, to which I half listened.

    Then it was my turn to order.

    The conversation went something like this like this:

    M. I would like 2 orders of the shrimp, please.

    Soft speaking girl with the thick accent:  So you just want the shrimp.  That's all?

    Me : Yes.

    Her. That's 4.99

    Me:  4.99?  I thought it was more than that.

    Her:  No sir.  4.99

    Me:   What comes with that?

    Her.  Nothing.  It's just the shrimp.

    Me:  I'd like rice and beans too.

    Her::  So you want an order of shrimp and rice and beans.

    Me :   No......

    The customer in front stepped up and said:  What he wants is 2 of the shrimp  baskets.  One with rice and beans and one with fries.  Isn't that right?

    I said yes, and thank you very much.

    She then told me she works with a lot of people, helping them in her role  with a home  caregiving group in Rockford.

    So I asked her if her group allows employees to lift patients.  She said no, they have a 20 pound weight limit.  

    We then talked about various machines that could help and then her order came and she left.

    Mine took a while, and after I got it I. realized I did not get cocktail sauce.  So I asked the guy now at the counter and he said they were out of cocktail sauce.

    I got home and looking at the shrimp realized they were the smallest jumbo shrimp I have seen. 

    In fact, they looked like popcorn shrimp, which were not on the menu.

    Anyway, we were both happy with the food.

    And I guess that is all that counts these days....being happy with something.

Peace and Love

    Especially Peace
