CVS: Por favor! Please!
El Guapo in DC
Dennis writes about this post: One of the funniest entries I read in a while. El Guapo has a problem with the fact that his local CVS locks up certain popular yet private products … An excerpt:
DemonsUnfriendly customer service? Yes, but not my top issue.
Long lines? Yes, but not my top issue.
Handwritten “No cash back for Debit” notes? Yes, but not my top issue.
Not enough religious candles? Yes, I’d like a larger assortment, but not my top issue.
My top issue?

This is a distressing yet courageous post. Thanks to Velvet for the recommendation, who wrote this about it: I'm totally moved by this post from Stef, and I'm rarely moved by anything. The extent of the humiliation she has been made to feel due to her appearance not being what other people deemed was right - it's heartbreaking. An excerpt:
I've been overweight all of my life. What has come with that is the fact that I have been the victim of some pretty cruel comments for as long as I can remember. They've come fromstrangers, from classmates, from those who are supposed to care about me...

A Naval officer in town for a conference writes: My bed in Bethesda is as uncomfortable as my room is poorly appointed. The government-issue, fire-retardant mattress is covered by only a thin sheet that forced me to repress the thought of when last it was changed. I slept moderately last night and awoke at reveille. Water pressure in the shower is so low that I have to run around just to get wet …. From a Corner of the Cosmos.

I ate at Galileo for Restaurant Week. VERY disappointing meal.

This post of hers bothered me as well. Thanks God I've been dieting since I gained weight after the Holidays. I'm now to my ideal weight after tedious dieting, going to the gym, ignoring my favorite junk foods.
How are you KOB? Haven't seen you for awhile...
Looking for information and found it at this great site... »
