Excuse me, you there, you standing behind the counter,you on the other end of the line,you at the checkout,and you sitting at the table behind me, got a minute? You do not, under any circumstances say to a woman as heavy with child as I am, “You mean you haven’t had that baby yet?”Nor do you [...]

Excuse me, you there in the brown shorts, could I have a moment?And you, over there bounding from the white truck, can you spare a minute? I know you are in a real hurry, or at least it would appear that way from the way you leave the ass end of your rides oh, I don’t [...]

Me: I’ll take a grande coffee light frappaccino. Him: Uhhhh…(long silence while his fingers draw big air circles over the register in search of the right button). What flavor? Me: Coffee. Him: (More air signaling and searching) What size? Me: Grande. Him: (Pained look followed by what was almost drooling, then a grunt and then this:) Kind? Me: Excuse me? Him: [...]

A while back I posted about Macy’s carrying “Junior’s Maternity.” I had been trying to find maternity clothes and was coming up empty. Many of you suggested Old Navy and Ebay. I’ve got some swell Old Navy stuff and am currently getting a whooping on Ebay with those devilish last minute bidders. I’m not sure [...]
