I was working nights at a 7-11 by myself (F, 18-19 at the time, late 90's Canada). I had a kid come in and buy a bunch of stuff who paid with a credit card. As I ALWAYS DID, I flipped the card over while the kid signed. He noticed that I was checking out his signature and said something flippant about it being his card. I replied that it was my job to check. He left.

About half an hour goes by and I haven't thought about it at all and all of a sudden the kid comes storming in followed reluctantly by an older man. The kid heatedly explained that I checked the signature on the back of his card and his dad snaps at him "YEAH, to protect YOU, you moron!" I couldn't help but smile

If you go to the global Geiger counter map https://www.gmcmap.com/ and look at the northeast of Illinois, you'll find McHenry. Now click on the counter there and look at the history. It's got some data points over a million CPM (counts per minute)!! This doesn't look good at all! What's going on there?

And honestly, it’s the best part. Not the planning (that comes in a close second though), not the buying of fabric or cutting it up or the hours and hours spent sewing it all back together. The best part about any quilt is the moment when the giftee sees the masterpiece you’ve created. My personal favourite was when my niece laid down on her new quilt and pretended to nap (she was almost one year old)

I’ve been wearing reading glasses for the past year. They are becoming more and more necessary every month. I just bought a pack of three reading glasses from Costco because they were on sale. They won’t stay perched on my head when I’m not using them, they fall off way too easily. The only other option I can think of is to use an old lady chain on them and I just don’t think I’m ready for that!! I’m only 45!!
