I love your strategy about looking at all appliances while disregarding the price, the cough being the determining factor. That could be applied to a lot of purchases. Very handy.
Great anecdote about your father doing errands while the police pondered the ticket. Very smart of him!
The DWG and all its tactics cracked me up. I drive in California where I don't have to dye my hair gray because people are easy-going and considerate. And, suprisingly, drivers in the last place I sat behind the wheel, Texas, we're REALLY nice. Must have been because we didn't have any political bumper stickers on the car that showed our true colors.
Oh…ohhhh… I have embraced the grey but haven’t elevated it to DWG yet. Thanks for the tip!
I am on my way though, I park with reckless abandon. I’m barely able to see those white lines anymore. I see now I haven’t achieved full mastery of my grey; I will get on it!
This one killed me......a true delight. It's rare for me to actually laugh out loud at something but it happened twice in this one. I'm thinking there could be a longer piece for both of those topics: the shopping and the DWG.
This post was a lovely start to the day, and I love there is a name for what I have in fact found myself doing recently. I drive so infrequently that even a 15 minute drive, almost always to the doctor's office at this point, has become a big adventure. Not the kind that gets my heart pumping so much out of fear, as from the excitement of not quite knowing what's going to happen since I am not in control of all the other people and their machines on the road.
I think elderberry fruit and herbs may mean berries and leaves of the elderberry. Wouldn't it be listed under ingredients? I made both elderberry and elderflower wines when I lived in London. Good stuff but dandelion was better.

Great post AGAIN. Thank you for the good laugh.

My friend, Jill, directed me to your adventure. Very funny and oh so true!

"And your father smells of elderberries!" was a punchline in Monty Python and the Holy Grail for a reason.
