Just kidding proviso, before even I say it- amazing he didn't have a heart attack when he saw the bill. Holy moly, that's a lot of money! At least he's alive, though.
My actual heart attack, ambulance ride, ER visit straight to the cath lab and two days, or maybe it was three, in ICU cost less.

With the rise of the "Karen" phenomenon, is there a chief Karen for the others to demand to see?

It's like the Santas in the malls. They are all over the place doing essentially the same thing.

Crawling around on the floor laying out a quilt and pinning the batting and back onto another has become something I put off for too long. Three hours of it today and now my back aches as does the broken rib that didn't heal quite right. I am going to have to accept that though I get down on the floor and back up just fine, I need to reduce the amount of time I am engaged in this part of my new quilting obsession. UGH

Delivered - your order of stuff - 1 item plus another item (Yep, got it.)
Arriving today - your order of stuff - 1 item plus another item
Shipped - another item
Shipped - 1 item
