Sex and Prunes

I just went grocery shopping and I saw the cutest thing.
2 people, older than God, were canoodling. I say canoodling because it sounds appropriate when describing 80 year olds making out in public. At first they were holding hands when i occasionally crossed them in the aisles. They ended up behind me in line and the gentleman started nuzzling her neck. She giggled like a little girl and the cashier and i both smiled. Then, I shit you not, the lady grabbed his bum.
At this point, I am thinking......weird. They must not be married. No couple married that long acts like that in public. Most old people i see are cranky and pissy all the time. From bursitis or whatever it is that old people get. So I figured that either or both of them are married, but not to each other. This is their 'dalliance'. They go shopping for prunes and ovaltine together.

Another lady, and i hate to use the term 'low class' but it applies here, was out with her friend shopping. They pretty much followed me on my trek and I learned these things about her:
-she can only eat roma tomatoes cuz the other kinds give her gas (produce)
-she has a bad shoulder so she had to get anyone in her vicinity to reach stuff for her
-her daughter is in school for nursing and she thinks its a waste of time (medicine aisle)
-her cat is shedding hair like crazy (pet aisle)
-she is lactose intolerant and doesnt like the soy milk (dairy)
-she just got her check in and thinks she is getting ripped off by her case worker (check out)
All these things were said loudly and in great detail. At one point she ran into me with her cart. When i yelped she looked at me and continued on talking about her cat. She was dressed in 1980's. Very chic.

My car is completely dead now. I have to go and gather all my shit out of it and get a wreckers to come and pick it up. I have learned very valuable lessons from this. I spent $2500 on it one year ago and was told it would last for at least 3 years. In the past year i have spent about $1500 fixing crap on it.
-don't trust people when they say "Oh its a great car! Will last you long time!"
-When the radiator blows up it smells really bad and things start smoking
-when your struts and cv joint go, the car shudders and it feels like the wheel is about to fall off.
-if there is a leak in the exhaust, the car smells like ass
-I cant live without a car. The transit system blows and cabs smell funny.
