One of life’s little pleasures ( treasures )
Do you know anyone who has been stricken with a condition known as OPBD? Now, just in case you are scurrying off to check The New England Journal of Medicine or The Lancet, this particular condition was only coined four days ago…. by me. I’m thinking I will set up a Wikipedia account and claim this as my own.
And what, pray tell, are the symptoms of this rare affliction? You can only get it a couple of times a year. That’s a good thing. You can avoid coming in contact with it if you keep your eyes and ears open. If you happen to find yourself in the middle of it, you can immediately remove yourself from the path of danger.
So, what is OPBD?
Optimum Points Bonus Day at a national pharmacy chain. Peggy, a good friend from Halifax, found herself in the lineup at SD in the middle of a feeding frenzy. She posted a few thoughts on FB and off to the races I went. Thanks, Peggy for the idea and some of the key phrases. Haven’t figured out a suitable title but so far it looks like “Nothing to Sneeze at.” Kleenex and toilet paper were on sale.
And thanks to another buddy from Halifax, Wendy, I was presented with the opportunity to write a piece on client service, or the lack thereof. Don’t you just love being ignored in a store or a restaurant? “The Invisible (Wo)Man” takes a major league rip at poor client service.
TICKETS FOR THE FUNDRAISER ARE NOW ON SALE.
I knew that would get your attention. I really believe and hope that this event will be a sellout. In addition to the ticket outlets ( Brendans, Brosha’s Short Stoppe and The Tall and Small ), you can get them from me. There are other groups who will be selling them as well.
I’m getting some great feedback on the story I wrote about Lent: “ I Give Up.” If you haven’t seen it yet, take a look… especially if you were brought up Catholic. And if you weren’t brought up Catholic, still read it and realize how lucky you have been that you haven’t had to give up single malt scotch or chocolates for 40 days and 40 nights.
Have a great weekend.
