SPENDING LIMITS
In these difficult financial times there are ways to limit spending. One way is to avoid purchasing items that make you feel remorse, guilt, or shame after purchase. Hiding purchases from a spouse is an example of such a behavior. Also, don’t go shopping to make yourself feel better. You may find you won’t even use the item you purchased.
RESTAURANT VIOLATIONS
The city of Cleveland’s health department sent notices to four Cleveland businesses for violating the Coronavirus measures as directed by the State of Ohio, such as employees not wearing masks and overcrowding. They were Lago (East Bank of the Flats); Harry Buffalo downtown; Mullberry’s (volleyball place on the West Bank of the Flats), and TownHall on W. 25th Street. Some just let people jam in without restricting them to spaced tables or spots at the bar.
Some of the restaurants used lame excuses. We’re in unprecedented times and that means we have to do things that are to the benefit of the common good. Profits shouldn’t be put ahead of people’s health and putting on a mask isn’t going to kill anyone. After all, doctors and nurses are putting their lives on the line with every new patient. The least we can do is lessen the toll and their risk, besides for ourselves, friends, and family.
I did stop at some restaurants and witnessed most were doing their best to keep everyone at a safe distance and had all workers wearing masks, so if others can do it, so can they. There are some that aren’t taking all this seriously, even though the whole world is. Whatever your stance is on all this, stay safe!
SLIGHTLY IRREGULAR
In Ollie’s Bargain Outlet ad this week they have some items on sale at a great price. One is a t-shirt for $1.99 and the other is underwear at $9.99 for a 5 pack. One problem. They list them as being “slightly irregular”. The inner 10-year-old in me is giggling.
I’ve bought “slightly irregular” clothes in the past and usually I can’t tell the difference. I’ve never bought underwear labeled as such. If it fits, I’m not sure that is a good thing. If it fits real well, do I need to see my primary physician? I can just see how that visit would go. I have a female doctor, so that will make it that much more uncomfortable.
Me: Yeah, doc. I have an issue and it’s not an easy one to spit out. I’ll come clean. I’m irregular. By that, I mean I’m not sure all my parts are right. You get what I mean?
Doc: No, please explain.
Me: Well, I bought some underwear and it fits well.
Doc: Go on.
Me: It’s slightly irregular underwear (this is where I expect the Doctor to gasp and almost faint).
Doc: So you are saying… (I put my hand on her mouth).
Me: Yes, yes…I’m slightly irregular (I look away in shame, not making any eye contact).
Doc: It’s ok.
Me: It was on sale at a much better price than regular ol’ undewear and I thought I would get a pair figuring I could use the saving to buy a tri-colored Rocket popsicle that the ice cream truck sells. You know the one that plays Music Box Dancer to lure kids to buy ice cream using it’s lilting trance-like music that wafts through the summer air like the Pied-Piper of ice cream. I digress…
Doc: Here’s $6 and get yourself some regular underwear and let me know how they fit. Get yourself that popsicle too with the change.
Me: Doc, you’re the best!
That’s how I envision it to go. Plus a $40 co-pay.
GET A HAIRCUT, HIPPIE!
After over two months without a haircut I finally had my lasses trimmed. I got tired of hearing “Get a haircut, Hippie!” accompanied by a finger wag. After my haircut it was also nice that I was not going to have to use an extra dollop of shampoo just to clean my luxurious mane of hair.
I went to Great Clips. They didn’t have a ‘check-in’ appointment time available online, so I stopped in to make an appointment. They said it would be around 50 minutes or so and took my phone number to call me. It worked out because I had to do some shopping. After around 50 minutes I pulled into the parking lot. I figured I would walk in to see how much longer I had to wait. Good thing I did because they said they had called me. I checked my phone and saw that the volume was all the way down. I got scolded nonetheless and apologized.
The gal that cut my hair wasn’t one I’ve been to before. I peppered her with lots of questions. Not a good thing to distract someone with scissors into answering questions when they should be concentrating on cutting inches of my tresses.
She had been working part-time. She made enough to qualify for unemployment. All but one worker came back. Has an 11 year old. Her favorite color is purple and likes butterscotch.
As far as the sanitizing, they had to wait two minutes between cuts to let the products they use to kill everything. I smelled alcohol in the air, so they used enough or maybe the gal cutting my hair hit the sauce before she clocked in.
I had to wear a mask and unloop one ear while she trimmed that area. No temperature checks. No questions about if I had been in contact with a Covid patient either. They didn’t check for rabies, scurvy or passive aggressive tendencies either. Not that those mattered, but it’s good to get a perspective as to how much they were feeling me out.
At the end of the haircut I get asked the obligatory, do you want powder on your neck. I think it’s a ruse for an extra tip. I politely say no, mostly because I’m wearing a black shirt and I don’t want a puff of white on it that will make me look like I had an avalanche of dandruff. I look like hell enough on a Sunday morning as it is.
I paid using a discounted haircut card I bought at the end of last year. I tip her quite well, knowing that all service workers are struggling. A pound lighter, I grabbed a lollipop and run out the door.
