Fun Show, No One Wants My $$$

Here are a couple of my entries for today’s model fun show.

The show went well. Basically there were only two adults showing, myself and Denise. The rest were kids.

But it was a sort of introduction to model showing and the such too. We demonstrated for the 4H kids and the littlest ones showed their dinosaurs and beat up old Barbie horses. Considering the age of some of these kids they were very well behaved and their adult caretakers were attentive to them so they weren’t going around knocking over horses and bumping into tables and the such.

I didn’t pay attention to placings. I was glad I brought a diverse group so the kids got to see different ideas.

I then helped clean up and chatted with Cindy awhile, something I rarely get to do anymore and really had me bummed out for a few years. You see she is the type of person who always has a lot of people taking up her attention or her husband is along. Years ago we used to have lots of girl talk but it’s been since before either of us had kids. Now her son has been in and out of the Marines and my last one is graduating. Like I said it has been a long time. It is like I don’t know her well anymore. But last year I said so be it and let it go.

Turns out the show was done early so I ran back to the bead store and had 1/2 hour to shop. I got what I was after and then browsed a bit. When I went to check out I wrote out a check but they have one of those stupid machines that instantly tell you if the check is any good or not. I told them that my checks don’t always work in them, they have to key the acct. number in and usually keep the check too. Well the old bat got all bucky about it and wanted a credit card. I said no, I already charged enough on it and I am not putting another $60 on it. She got ticked at me and said “I don’t even know where this >>>> (my town) is and if they don’t work you shouldn’t be using them all over the state.” OMG, I was about ready to say forget it, keep you stuff. Well lo and behold she keys the numbers in and it works just like I said it would. Idiot. I won’t be going back there. I never had trouble before and her attitude was just negative and sour. Excuse me! I told her I am 70 miles straight west. Get an education. They wanted to know if I wanted one of their punch cards. I said no. I won’t be back.

So I go to the feed store and they meet me at the door and say they are closing soon and would have to be quick. I said fine. C’ya. I came home. For such a crummy economy no one wants my money.
