I've never been a leader but also don't follow the sheep. A different type of story... because I'm different. MY LAWYERS, PSYCHIATRISTS, THOSE MANY VOICES IN MY HEAD, AND WIFE MADE ME ADD THIS. You can't sue me, I'm legally insane and I may be an illegal alien. I have written that I believe in treating women as equals. Yes, that is true. But, we all ha...
Joyce had barely made it back to the apartment from the grocery store where she worked as a checkout clerk and tucked the ham she'd brought home—the last one in the store—before it was time to go pick up the Christmas cake she'd ordered from Gleesons before they closed. She had already been cutting her time short—she still had to go buy a tree and figure out...
My New People Watching Location in a Corn Field. After moving from the Midwest to Florida in 1994 we began shopping in the little town ten miles south. There were two grocery stores at first. The little Piggly Wiggly at the far south end of town was in the first tiny shopping center of the town in what was then the main part of town. We tried the Piggly Wi...
Fred enjoyed shopping late at night, there were no crowds, the staff was accessible and since they were kind of bored they were always very helpful. A normal forty five minute shopping trip would transform into an easy thirty minute stroll as long as you stopped in around midnight or so. The convenience of this late night shopping was always nice but that's...
Marcus never really understood his attraction to grocery shopping but once again he found himself wandering the chilly aisles well before lunch time on a Tuesday. Sure, the store wasn't very crowded at that time in the morning and with so few people in the store, it was extra cool at that time. Walking through the produce section he couldn't help but gaze at...
To: Kendra From: Adam Subject: Groceries Hi, honey, sorry I left before you got up this morning. I wanted to get to the office, and you were so sound asleep I didn't have the heart to wake you. You said last night you might go to the grocery store today. If you do, would you please pick me up some shaving cream? And I'd really like steak for supper. By t...
Mrs. Bisby's divorce case was getting uglier all the time. Her husband, Dave, a police officer, was looking for anything her could use to make himself look like less of an ass, and that ended any more late night swims. Her lawyer said she had to avoid anything that even looked improper to maintain the upper hand in any court actions, and with Mr. Bisby's pol...
I was sitting on the balcony of my condo with a cup of coffee and the morning newspaper while a steady rain provided a refreshing sound. I sipped my coffee and watched the concentric circles in the pond as the rain splattered the water. My golf day was a washout so I kicked back and relaxed. Reading the morning newspaper I came across the Daily Horoscope and...
Fred decided to head back to the grocery store as his two, breast-like melons finally got too ripe to use. In hopes of coming across a special deal on the "melons," he once again came back shopping a little after midnight. He had a few other items on his list but his prime goal was to score a couple more of those melons. If no one was around, he planned to t...
I always hated grocery stores, well let me be more precise, I hated grocery shopping. Yeah it seemed whenever I went shopping I ran into the same thing time after time. If I needed a certain type of bread, sure enough there was someone parked right in front of what I need. Now they were not just shopping, what they were doing was more akin to research. Never...
