  (smiles) Awwwwwwwww, that is what I love too about supermarkets above all else, it's not just a market but a social convention too almost, and just the sight of asmile coming back at you brightens my experience there! (kiss on cheek) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, your words always make me smile, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lyra, thank you for sharing!   May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Thanks for your reply, Noah... I have always enjoyed grocery shopping...and its probably because of the social interactions. I always meet all of my friends at the supermarket...  ~Easter Bunny hugs~copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

If I had my own supermarket I know what I'd do I'd fashion it to give myself A hearty laugh or two. I'd sit there in my office Surveillance cameras everywhere With rows of buttons in my hands And "Shoppers - please beware!" I'd have a mic in produce and If someone squeezed a melon The hidden mic would scream out "OUCH!" And they would run out yellin'!  In Beauty Aids, amid the gunk And all that wrinkle creme When ugly gals would shop, I'd play The Mission Impossible theme!!  I'd put all items marked half-price Down on the bottom row And, when the ladies bent to get them I would watch the show!  If someone had eleven items In the "10 or less" line They could give their soul to God But their butt would be mine! I'd have a spotlight shine on them Alarm bells ring like mad And cashiers screaming "Shame on you!" To make them feel bad.  I've many more ideas but For now I better stop. Next time you need some grosseries Come by my place and shop!!  |

Thanks Maureen... That happens to me also...if I talk to myself in the supermarket, which happens quite often......someone else will invariably come over and join the conversation....and then, well...I've made a new friend!  ~super hugs~copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

Rofl.....this is a much better poem than mine is, Micheal... I especially love I'd have a mic in produce and If someone squeezed a melon The hidden mic would scream out "OUCH!" And they would run out yellin'! But I also thought the part about the ugly girls was cute Ouch!!!!!!!!to that one, I would be afraid to shop in your supermarket. You are pure evil  I think you should post this as a poem...its so ****Good! copyright2002 Lyra Nesius "poetry is life distilled" Gwendolyn Brooks [This message has been edited by Madame Chipmunk (03-30-2002 01:29 PM).] |

Barry, thanks so much for your reply... I am trying hard to keep my spirits up, but it looks like I have a long road ahead of me towards recovery... But I am happy that at least there IS a road. For a while, I wasn't even sure that there would be one But of course...nothing is ever guaranteed. We can only do our best. Have a great Easter ~ hugs ~ copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

I forgot the fake severed fingers Mixed in with the meat And a butcher with a bandaged hand.. Now wouldn't that be neat!?!?! |

And Michael...some more for you, Mr. Manager a D-con Mouseproof box with pellets scattered about by the mice who were outfoxed and the birds of the produce section across the ceiling, take wing their droppings all over the fruit and the veggies, as they sing copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |
