"The way I see it you are either a Hot Wheels or Matchbox person, so which is it??" We were in the local Walmart earlier today and I was walking by the overstock section of the store and they had a Hot Wheels "Angry Birds" track thing.. And it reminds me so much of the Legos brick things they have that are models of things.. I don't think I would like those that way, I mean it would be a little fun, but I'm sure you would have to stay to the diagram or whatever they give you to put it together with.. I always liked the idea of opening that box of bricks and making what would come to mind.. And the same thing goes with the Hot Wheels track we had.. We would put the starting "grid" thing in the desk and push the button and the cars would go down the track and around the curves and then hit the finish line.. We would build a fairly big set up.. Sometimes the tracks would work, sometimes they were failures but we had a lot of fun trying different ideas.. I got a drag strip one year that had a loop in the center... Two lane thing and I think it even had drag racing cars one year.. Oh the fun.. But it was the matchbox cars & trucks that were the most fun.. They were the imagination on overdrive.. So many different play ideas..
Yes going to the doctor was more than likely a waste of time but.. Mom had her run in with the sinus situation just about four years ago, and when she blew a nasty chunk of goo out her nose last week she was more than a little leery that this could be bad news.. Having to see the doctor might seem logical but when they told her to just call and they would refill the prescription (antibiotic) she has the last few times and it seems like every time they say well come on in.. Seems a bit of a racket to me but.. So we get there and they don't have you check in at the out patient/visiting physician area now. Now you have to check in at the front and the lady at the desk said it is "new and improved" and I heard this and knew I had to say something.. I said "Oh I'm sure it really isn't better". Don't lob a soft pitch in my direction, I have had family get screwed royally at your facility, I know better than to think you have a first rate care facility.. Grandest joke out there is that they are going to build a new hospital and.. Well I have the name for you.. Sidney memorial staging center.. They aren't a hospital.. Not in the regular sense of you go there to be cured.. The knowledge is you go to that hospital knowing you will be sent to any number of other hospitals in the area.. They are kind of a MASH unit type of thing.. You go in, get some sort of first stage medical help and if you are really in good shape they might keep you in the hospital.. If there's a chance you might die shortly, they keep you in the hospital, especially if lacking care is what they can do to insure of this.. I read a sign on the wall at the doctors office that read if you attack the doctors physically that it would be counted as a felony.. And I thought .. but it is still ok to be verbally abusive... That I can and will continue to do.. How much better will the care be in a brand spanking ass new hospital?? I can only guess...
While we were at the walmart mom talked to a checkout lady who mom works with her daughter at the Mc.D and asked her how things were going for her, yesterday being the new owners first day and she told mom it was interesting.. They all have to reapply for their jobs.. I heard that and thought what a load of shit and mom thought that as well, but as I thought about it, it only makes sense.. They are probably following the way that they are supposed to do things.. They are the proud owners of three semiwrecked Mc.D stores (called stores way back when mom first started working there).. I say semi wrecked because even though the one in the burg has been remodeled it is still essentially the same store and there are many problems with it.. I guess they didn't mind.. So what will happen with mom?? Well she still wants to do what she is doing but might not have that job.. Depends on how things go.. How about Jeff (the GM)?? Well he has that nice company truck, is that going to still be his?? Will he be the GM at the store or move south and GM a store in Colorado if things go to shit here?? Hard to say.. I thought about how I would have felt if I were still there and I think I would have felt like good, maybe someone will get it right.. Then I thought "meet the new boss, same as the old boss"... just like before..
