2. Christmas decorations in department stores when it's not even Halloween yet, for crying out loud! True. I had to exchange some jeans at Penney's today and when I walked in the decorations were there, in-your-face. Do they really think that people won't shop for Christmas gifts in their store if it isn't decorated three months before the holiday? I suppose I should just shut up and be glad that at least they take them down during the summer.
3. This:
This is in the waiting room of the place where I got my car inspected this morning (cha-ching! Another $63 for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I can only hope they'll use it wisely but I doubt it.) Is it just me or is anyone else sick of seeing televisions everywhere? Car place - TV. Airport - TV. Doctor's office - TV. My dentist's office has a TV mounted above the chair but it's never been on when I've been there; if it were, I'd ask them to turn it off. I assume maybe it's to keep little ones distracted while the dentist is working on their teeth. Even the place where I go for my mammograms has a large screen TV in the waiting area. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an anti-TV fanatic. I do my share of TV watching. But does it have to be in every public place imaginable? I'd much rather read in waiting rooms, and it's difficult to do that with a TV blaring, especially if it's blaring something annoying - like the local news broadcasting the same stories over and over and over - or something that I really have no interest in watching (that covers quite a bit). TVs belong in homes and sports bars, not in waiting rooms. Just a little peace and quiet in a public place, that's all I want.Stepping off soap box and going to bed.
