Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) Glad you snagged it, Lagie! Back when I was in college (maybe 1984?), I went to some kind of Sci Fi convention--one of the early ones, I guess, in Denver, I bought a Tardis tshirt. Just the Tardis--no explanation, no logo, no words. Light gray--I wore it for years! Ah--memories! 35 years ago? Not possible!

I started high school in 1983. A year ahead of trystan. And no, it said Police Box clearly across the base of the toque, and was TARDIS blue with a white pompom. Kind of hard to miss. Mind you, they put the onesie out too. Share this post Link to post

You're a young whippersnapper, too! The Tardis said police box, the right color blue etc.--it was the t-shirt that was light gray. I graduated high school in 1982! Share this post Link to post

I do with the end figure and the percentage but the adding up is in my head (except for one customer who always tries to argue the price down and who, thankfully, has not been by in a couple of weeks - for her, I do a written very big numbers tally).

Posted July 19, 2020 Hope everyone is having a good evening! I didn't get much done today. Did some light reading and light cleaning. It was blisteringly hot today, so I had to stay in mostly. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 19, 2020 so it's about 20 after midnight, bedtime soon i think. had an insane busy day at work, it's like a mini-Black Friday every day i work since we reopened at the beginning of june. the manager on duty this morning brought up some items to be maked as clearance. i didn't get to it. honestly, i didn't even really have time to do the cleaning/sanitizing of even my register we had so many customers. it's been like this since the beginning of june Share this post Link to post
Posted July 19, 2020 huh........is it a good or bad thing that it's busy though? I think that's interesting though cuz even when I went to the dentist today, the person working on my teeth actually said today was his busiest day since coming back; I'd have thought the mad rush to go out and get things done already happened.

Posted July 19, 2020 That does sound busy, @trystan! I guess people are desperate for things to do at home (and probably not as desperate for the dentist, @WaterScorpion ). It's hot again here, too, @subwoofer. Stay cool if you can! Good morning, CPA! *sets out Belgian waffles with strawberries and whipped cream* Our Prime Minister will be making a national address later today. Most people are expecting him to put in place another lockdown since our case numbers are rising again. I figure he'll probably be lecturing Bahamians about their behaviour since so many haven't been following the rules. Share this post Link to post

I guess people are desperate for things to do at home crafting supplies are the new "bread, milk, and eggs" way back at the beginning of the year, the weather was suggesting a winter storm of sorts (that never ended up happening, but still...). whenever a winter storm is predicted, people tend to run out to the store to get bread, milk, and eggs - never sure why, because those items can go bad if your power goes out.... but we were quite busy when the weather suggested that storm, so i said that crafting supplies were the new bread, milk, and eggs! and in lockdown, people have been crafting, so now they have to frame it, or replenish their supplies. 👍 must be nice to have a leader of your country care about their peoples. last time we had that was 4 years ago, but it feels forever ago.....

Posted July 19, 2020 It is nice, though some of the 'peoples' don't see it that way, nor does the opposition, of course. It's raining. The wind picked up about two, the clouds moved in, and now we have rain. At least I have nowhere I need to be, and it's not a shop day. And for your afternoon giggle - Share this post Link to post
