Cancer, Mrs. Fix It & The Sam's Club Nazi

Yesterday was a busy day. I not only got everything on my "to do list" done, but I went further than that.

Let's make this as short and sweet as I can, otherwise this will bore you to tears.

1. The Sam's Club Nazi.
I went shopping. On the list...laminate floor to finish bedroom, a new garbage disposal to replace the one that cracked this morning, baseboards, cat food...blah, blah, blah...
I learned the hard way that Sam's Club doesn't open for regular folks like me until 10am. The old Nazi at the door took one look at my Advantage Club Member card and said, "You can't come in yet!"
I looked at my cell phone for the time. 9:53. "Can I just go to the bathroom?"
"NO!" he snapped at me. "You'll have to wait outside until 10:00"
There were two customers behind me, a man and a woman, who apparently were also "plain jane" folks. At first they turned around and the man said, "Dang I don't want to get chopped up like that!" Then a light bulb popped on above his head.
"Hey, I want to talk to your manager" he screamed at the Nazi.
I went outside and waited.
At 4 minutes left to go, I walked back in to talk with him again. "So, it's only business owners that can come in before 10?"
"Yes, business owners. You are just a regular customer."
"But I pay more for my membership" pointing to the words "advantage member". "No you don't."
"Well, they've always let me in early when I lived in Sacramento."
"Then they were violating the rules!! They shouldn't have..."
The manager and the regular guy was approaching. "You could just be a little nicer." I urged the Nazi.
It was 9:57. "I assume I can go in now." barked the man who came in behind me as he stomped into the store. "NO, you still have 3 minutes!!" I shouted sarcastically pointing to my phone.
The manager rested his hand on my shoulder and said in an embarresed tone- "Uh, you can go in now ma'am."
As I took my cart I noticed the manager starting his repremand with The Sam's Club Nazi.
20 minutes later, as I was leaving...a nice young lady checked my reciept at the door.

2. Mrs. Fix It.
My garbage disposal was leaking all over the floor anytime water went down the drain. Not good. Since I didn't really know much about them, I hopped on the internet and found out. I discovered that from where it's leaking- you can't fix it. You have to replace it. Fine. Looks easy.
So I bought one ($68.00) and dove right in. Remove old disposal. No problem. If old flange is same size as new one, skip steps 1-6 and continue on to step 8. It is, Yippee!!! Now supply power to your new disposal. WHAT??
This thing doesn't come with it's own cord already wired to it? How stupid is that??? I have to buy a kit? Well folks, I don't live that close and I'm not going back to buy the kit. So I took apart the old disposal and unhooked the wires so I could use that cord. No problem. I'm back on track.
Now twist on disposal and hook up the drain. Make sure you do not place your body underneath the unit or it can fall on you. DAHHH.
I hooked it up and whoa! No leaks...works like a charm. That was easy.

3. Cancer
My daughter has an arch enemy at school. Alexis. She is very athletic, dramatic, smart, sweet, cute and loves to show off. Sound like anyone you know? Yep, she's just like my Katie. In fact, I told Katie that the only reason she doesn't like Alexis is because they are so similiar. Katie grunted and denied the obvious truth.
Alexis has been out of school for a while with a "broken knee". However, we learned yesterday that Alexis has a tumor in her knee. I'm very concerned for this little girl. I hope she will be okay.
