Went to Walmart this morning and bought coffee flavored nutritional shakes with protein.  I'm thinking this will be perfect with Kalua and vodka for a refreshing slushie.  What could be better?  Nutritional drinks with alcohol!

 

The rant:

Why is it that at 6:10am, just a few minutes after opening, the parking lot is littered with shopping carts.  Half of the prime parking spaces had empty carts in them.  Not only are the workers at the store not doing their job, but the people that are shopping are just plain lazy.  At least push your cart into the cart bin.  :ranting:

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

If Apple made a car, would it have windows?

Ban shredded cheese. Make America Grate Again .

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that may be why.

Oh no.  Poor kid.🤮

 

I think someone at our Walmart must be on VJ.  This morning at opening all the carts that were scattered in the parking lot were neatly lined up invery long rows, and very few were occupying parking spaces.  Finally.

The rant:

Why is it that at 6:10am, just a few minutes after opening, the parking lot is littered with shopping carts.  Half of the prime parking spaces had empty carts in them.  Not only are the workers at the store not doing their job, but the people that are shopping are just plain lazy.  At least push your cart into the cart bin.  :ranting:
