Walmart in Murphy, NC

      Warning... this is going to be a rant post. I know I don't look like a raving beauty, but I do not condone theft. If you cannot pay for items then you need to get a job and save up. With that being said, I can honestly say that I have never stolen anything from a store. 

    I was wearing farm gear that consisted of Carrhart gear and muddy boots. I probably had hay in my hair and looked like a hot mess, but that doesn't mean I would take items. Two women from the electronic department approached me asking if I needed help. It wasn't what they said, it was how they said it. Total strangers stopped to stare at the confrontation. I was looking for a HDMI cord. She glanced in my buggy which only had food in it. "Can I help you?" with all the sarcasm she could muster. Really, lady and you had to bring your fellow cashier over. 

    I wasn't rude. I told her I wasn't taking anything and that she could look through my stuff. I had a wearable wallet on so there wasn't any big bags or anything. She said we didn't think you were stealing, we just wanted to assist you. She embarrassed me to death. I didn't even finish looking for the cord and went to find my husband and child. What the heck? There was a whole line of customers and they left that to come swarm in on me. If they thought I was doing something suspicious they could have watched the cameras. I went and filed a complaint with customer services. 

    Do better people! I'm still beyond upset at their behavior. I told the manager that I had more money in my current clothing than that old lady made in a week. I'm still beyond livid.

LGFCU to Civic Bank

      This transition or merger has driven me absolutely crazy. I hate it and cannot even fathom how everything will work out. As a customer, I'm so annoyed and the lack of answers by actual people is ridiculous. So, I guess it will be only online banking? With school, a toddler, and a small farm I have not had the chance to move everything over to a different bank. It wouldn't matter anyway, because I have a loan through them that will transfer to the Civic bank.      Ahhhh!  Today, our cards stopped working and I was so upset. I had forgot and didn't get money out of the ATM beforehand. They forget that some of us are over 30 minutes away from the nearest town! I guess cash is really KING! I just home all my automatic withdrawals don't mess up along with everything else. I have no idea how older people will get through this phase. Both my mom and grandmother don't even use computers and can barely operate their phones. Both of them have never even us...

The Teacher's Lie by Brid Cummings

     A book review at its finest. I think every book is worthy of a review, so here goes nothing. I think the overall story is worth your time, however, I feel like the person who read it aloud on audible did the book dirty. Her accent and weird pausing in the middle of sentences really threw me off as a reader. I actually went back and purchased a paper copy. The author kept me guessing throughout each chapter, but the book was slow moving. I would put it down often to just take a break.      I would give this book a 3 out of a 5 due to the pacing and sequencing of events in the plot. Do not listen to it on  Audible, because it's terrible and dry.

Counting

      Counting on something is just another way to set yourself up. Each year I do this and you would think that I learned from the previous year's mistake, but NO I didn't. So here we are again sitting down here at the pout house thinking about how we are going to rebound from my expectations. Money can be made again and future planning will be taking place.           I will have to count my losses fully take responsibility for the fact that our egg production just cannot keep up with the demand. I will have to pay back a few people because I cannot fill their orders. Egg production drops during the winter months.  I know the ladies I work with will just want to barter for something else. Maybe once we get ducks that can be a trade off. I do not know a lot about ducks and will have to do some extensive research. We do have a small pond on the premises and that will fill some of the needs.          Any pointers o...
