I think that would be worse.<br /><br />Edith: That comment made me laugh so hard, because he really does look like he's holding a vacuum! That one bit is a scoop full of sand that he was using to sift through everything. <br /><br />I wish he did have a vacuum. Get rid of all the nasty cigarette butts people stick on the beach, because they think it's just one giant ashtray. Bastards.<br /><br />Bub; Pimm's, eh? Never had it, sounds delicious. I was telling Chuck what Pimm's was, and he said there was something similar here, called something else. Can't remember now.<br /><br />Kimberly: Everytime something weird happens, I can always think of a Seinfeld episode to go along with it. And I never really counted myself as a crazed Seinfeld fan, but I always go to it for quotes...<br /><br />Dirt Girl: During the summer I think it's more fun to watch other people getting really drunk at the beach lol. Tourists are like, 'I'm on vacation. Beer at 9am? Hell yes!' We went the other morning and it was like that.<br /><br />Naked Man Fitter: I really need to find out what your name is so that I don't have to call you that lol.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed it!<br /><br />Clare: Chuck got that at the Tir na nOg pub in Raliegh last year. It's so him lol.<br /><br />Prairie: I can't even think of what my fave Seinfeld was. There are just too many moments...<br /><br />Al: We had 1 and 2 dollar coins in Canada too. My handbag was always super-heavy. I didn't think about the jewelry thing. Since I'm Canadian, I'd probably feel guilty about making money off of valuables that people lost. We're like that :P<br /><br />RG: Yep, I had a dude that parked himself on the end of my music counter and was asking what answers were good to put down, like it was a test. Well, I guess it is sort of a test isn't it? If you can't figure out that admitting to your assault and battery charge isn't smart to put on an application...<br /><br /><br />Shrinky: Nice to meet you! :D<br /><br />And yes I do love to see people put personal touches in their blogs. I started this as a gardening blog, and I LOVE flower pictures...but I really like it when people throw in regular old fashioned rants or 'I saw this crazy thing happen today...' sort of stuff.<br /><br />Jayne: I'm sure things will get easier. I'm just one of those really impatient people who just want to know everything NOW, screw learning! My brain should just absorb it all, like osmosis! :P<br /><br />Laura: That's why I don't understand the kind of people that seem to have a new job every week. Why would you want to put yourself through all that over and over? <br /><br />Shyrlene: I am lucky to be living so close to the beach. I'm actually only a mile away from the water through the trees behind our house, but maybe...20 minutes away from an actual (nice) public beach access. I do miss mountains though. I'd pick mountains over beach. I lived a couple hours away from the Rockies, and I took them for granted. I thought I'd always live in Edmonton, till death do us part. And here I am in the States lol.Kynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222304237028745181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-26472819438880115142010-08-08T17:15:05.587-04:002010-08-08T17:15:05.587-04:00Kyna - I have to be honest...

I actually know...What's a flushing toilet? :-)<br /><br />I actually know someone who finances his holidays by running along tourist beaches with a metal detector after dark.<br />It helps that we have $1 and $2 coins in Oz, so he picks up a surprising amount of cash. What he makes most of his money from is gold jewellery that gets lost on the beach. He says it is amazing how many people take quite valuable jewellery to the beach.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625543235578144620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-48753853321427901442010-08-06T23:57:20.941-04:002010-08-06T23:57:20.941-04:00Festivus for the rest of us! best Seinfeld ever!Festivus for the rest of us! best Seinfeld ever!Prairie Chicken...https://www.blogger.com/profile/06669918949264861271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-26973044795999295082010-08-06T23:10:47.182-04:002010-08-06T23:10:47.182-04:00LOL, nice shirt Chuck!

Yeah, we're really going to hire them. :P <br /><br />Also, my B&N is attached to a mall, so there are people who will come in with a fist full of applications from other places and ask for one for B&N. Because you REALLY want to work only for B&N. <br /><br />Or the apps with spelling mistakes. <br /><br />Or the apps from convicted felons.<br /><br />I could go on ALL day having a conversation with you about it, 'cause you understand :D<br /><br />IG: 9am? Bah! What is a little thing like 'time' in the grand scheme of things? I'm guessing you go top shelf? *pours*<br /><br /><br />Liz: Actually, it's funny because we weren't drunk at all LOL. I was exaggerating, we'd only had a couple of small ones ;) . It's hard to be drunk with all that alcohol absorbing Mexican food in your gullet. We were pretty full though, and laid out on chairs like a couple of beached whales. Oh so attractive. <br /><br />Hmm...maybe bookshops are different in England?
