I’ve never been good with finding stuff. In the shop, in the store, at work, I can’t find anything anywhere. I make a bad go-fer. I always hate it when somebody asks me if I’d go to such-and-such a place and get the whatever right there beside the who-knows-what, oh it’s right there, you’ll find it. Sure.
I went in to get some groceries at Walmart this morning, and Jewel gave me a list of some things she wanted. I got everything but the Cool Whip, and I thought I must have missed it. So I went clear way back to the rear of the store looking for the dumb stuff. I found a friendly associate who told me it was in aisle 1. Great.
I went clear back up front to where I was and found it, sure enough. Literally two feet from where I had just gotten some frozen fruit.

Hey Tom,
Was it really that important to hyperlink the words “cool whip”? I mean, did you really visit that site during the time you were writing that post “Finding Stuff”. LOL
Just a curious ITF constituent.

I sure did. I thought it was neat. I like Cool Whip, if I can find it.

Does anybody click on those links? Sometimes, sure, but like Shipshewana, Cool Whip, Almond Joy Swoops, and Daylight Savings Time?
Funny, I agree. But it’s all proof that Tom is dedicated to his blog, whether it’s profitable or not! 8-)

That’s what the internet is all about, Dave. Links. That’s how hyper-text got its start.

Don’t feel to bad Tom–my husband of 14+ yrs goes to the store w/ detailed list in hand(aisle # and appr. placement onthat aisle) and I still get calls asking “where is….” Often hes standing in front of it!!!!I’ve also been know to abbr. and that can really throw a kink in the mix!!!!
