Crime Fighters R Us

Posted on July 18, 2009 by halalamama

I’m less angry today.  More resigned.

At times Ismael really amuses me.

His first action after getting home was to take care of the business that is necessary after you are robbed.

  1. Go to the license branch and the social security office.
  2. Call the bank and cancel debit card.
  3. Go to store and purchase Magic Jack so that when my cell phone shuts off magically at night he can still call home. (huh?)
  4. Get on the Internet, activate Sprint Family Locator and track the criminals who took his cell phone, accurate within a square mile.  (apparently somewhere near 86th street by the refinery)
  5. Tell me he is going to call 911 and tell the police where the robbers are within a square mile. (what?)

I didn’t stick around for the police call.  He’s a real crime fighter that one.

Just like my new eyedrops.

After getting an emergency pair of contacts over the Fourth of July weekend, because oh Lord, my left eye was killing me, my optometrist declared that I have a bit of allergy which was causing my raging pain irritation.

My left eye, apparently, is allergic to life. Not my right eye.  Just my left.

To combat this irritation she gave me a sample of eyedrops which retail at $14.  (Oh goodie! A sample. No way in hell am I paying fourteen bucks for eyedrops.  I’ll just use the sample sparingly.)

Given the size of the sample, then yes, I will have to use them sparingly before I lose them. DSC02805

Isn’t that teeny tiny bottle just the cutest, most ridiculous thing you have ever seen?

What was that about crime fighting?  Yeah, check out the name of the drops.

Zaditor.

Doesn’t that totally sound like a super hero?  Zaditor:  Super Hero, erasing left eye allergy one woman at a time…for as long as three tenths of a single ounce will last.

    I went to buy some laxatives the other day (you know cause i’m pregnant and all the problems that come along with that). One little bottle of 50 pills as big as one of those little micro ants cost me 16 bucks. You take them 2 at a time twice a dya if needed. The biggest surprise came when i read the label and discovered that the are all natural made with fruits and veggies. My husband and I got a good laugh out of how much fruit and veggies i could have bought with $16.

    Hope all is ok and that the police can track down the dumb criminals who robbed you!
