I say this because my wife works for Hobby Lobby and even though we live in East Texas, their A/C controls are run from somewhere in Oklahoma. Don't ask me why, but it's true. I would not be surprised to find that other major corporations do the same thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-61824484029456822222011-02-08T13:13:30.423-05:002011-02-08T13:13:30.423-05:00Dru, I absolutely adore parsnips too!

Ick. <br />Apparently the temperatures of interiors are substantially higher than they used to be, either in consequence of or as the reason for people to wear fewer clothes around the house. Younk G wears v skimpy stuff and keeps the damn heater on full blast, despite my parsimonious and vociferous objections...Dru Marlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697874363783821382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-81933679480340305812011-02-08T03:25:42.259-05:002011-02-08T03:25:42.259-05:00Don't get me started about supermarkets, they ...Don't get me started about supermarkets, they are run by idiots who usually do the exact opposite of anything sensible, ANYTHING!<br /><br />Love your sister.<br /><br />Caroline xxxCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133031265351841626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-5972549107360957782011-02-08T03:14:15.612-05:002011-02-08T03:14:15.612-05:00I feel sorry for those people working the checkout...I feel sorry for those people working the checkouts...<br /><br />When I worked for Tesco's to get through Uni I was always way to hot behind the till (which made you terribly sleepy in the afternoon - not appriciated by customers or management...)<br /><br />We complained about the heat, customers complained about the heat. Nothing.<br /><br />In our local supermarket (that I use only in emergencies) it's the opposite. The place is so cold that the extra virgin olive oil goes solid, and is unusable for a good couple of days when you take it home!<br /><br />StaceStacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.com
