I had a truly weird 58th birthday today. I went to Walmart to pick up some things -- including prescriptions - but their computers were down & they said they couldn't just give me our prescriptions because they had to 'find them" on the computer -- well, hello? they are hanging on the wall just in back of you? They told me ALL of the registers were down & honestly? I started to just walk away from my basket - but I noticed a couple of cashiers were open & so I went & stood in line some more & finally got checked out - almost 2 hours after I'd walked in the store.

when I opened the Books-A-Million store here, years ago, those blasted computer cash registers went down - & they had to send the parts by BUS - yes, the OLD DAYS! - and in the meantime, I pulled out the cash drawers & gave each cashier & calculator, pen & pad & had them record every sale -- yeah. It wasn't fun, it wasn't 100% accurate, but we kept sales & customers flowing -- so don't tell me frickin' Walmart could not have a Plan B in place -- I am going to send district management my opinion, for what it's worth & I realize probably nothing.

Then I went to the Tobacco Plus to top off my car & their pumps were all out of order! -- So I guess there was some major computer issue on that side of town. In disgust, I went to PetSmart & Albertson's to finish what I could of the morning's errands. then I came home, unloaded groceries & went to work to finalize payroll for our 60+ employees. Got home around 1:00.

The man we periodically hire to do heavy yard work showed up at 2:00, so there went the entire afternoon - but wow the yard looks so nice now! he still has to come back tomorrow morning to finish up the fence line.

we had takeout fried chicken for supper -- not the "surf & turf" I bought -- but it'll still be here for hopefully tomorrow nights' supper.

Jim did an absolutely outstanding job on the new coop door -- I dont' even have to go into the pen to open or close it -- it's on a pulley so I can just stand outside & work it from there! So overall, not a totally lost birthday! -- maybe tomorrow I can get in a nap..

Happy birthday!! I just turned 29 on Wednesday. :D

I know, it is crazy that places like walmart do not have backup! When I worked in a drive thru daiquiri shop, we did the same thing with the calculator and a pen and paper.

Happy birthday also!!! Consider the kind of help that would be manning those calculators. And the amount of people. They would go bonkers.

Happy Birthday!! Sorry for the inconvences. It's funny that the stores didn't have computers for very long and they have a problem and the whole store can't function. Thats crazy. It's crazy that they can't use a calculator to check you out and they can't count back change either. Glad you got a better coop door. Happy Birthday again. Pam

I remember you. We totally lost Kuntrygirl. I called and texted her and even went to her house but didn't get a response. We miss her a lot. CatDaddy rarely comes on. MrsMagoo either. I miss our old group. I used to stay on line all day, too. We have some super newbies on here now. I hope you stay back on. You were missed.
 
Thats weird, yea kuntrygirl use to stay on.

Flypen what's up, that's a Sweater stag for my avatar. I have Sweaters, Asil, one Hatch cock to cross with. What lines do u have?

I've called & texted too & also no response. I don't get it. Something happened. I don't stay on as much as I used to but I'll try to get back on a more regular basis.
