Your Captain’s Latest Mini-Disaster<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Why, Oh Why, am I showing you the below mini-disaster?<\/p>\n

Because! <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Just because!<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Our local Circle K Gas Station and Convenience Store.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is where we buy our Frosters.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then we “pay for them” in the below slick, fully automated, payment device. I set the Froster down, enter my own “personal code” and Bingo I have paid for it because I am a member of the Circle K “Sip ‘N Save” Program. For $10.75 we get one Froster a Day for 30 days. Buying an individual Froster costs $1.30. So I “pay” for the first nine Frosters and all the rest are “no cost”. IF we were to get 30, they would cost $0.36 each. A nice deal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Out of 30 visits, we will enjoy 28 Frosters out in front and “people watch”. The other 2 we will take home and finish at home or .. once in awhile .. put what remains..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

into our refrigerator over night.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Well now you need to know something. I am constantly “dropping” things.<\/em><\/span> Things Captain? Yes THINGS!\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

IF something can be held. I can, and far too often, I will drop whatever it is I am holding. From my own kitchen utensils (forks, knives, spoons, vitamins, etc) to “you name it”.<\/p>\n

So the other day, in the early afternoon, I reached into our refrigerator to get a left over Froster and? I tipped it over and dropped it on the top shelf of our refrigerator!<\/p>\n

I created a Red,<\/span><\/p>\n

Sticky,<\/span><\/p>\n

Mess!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yes! The Froster I dropped was very full!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And liquids being liquids, the red sticky mess followed gravity!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So I had to completely unload our refrigerator!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I thought the top shelf above was clean. It was NOT clean. The red, sticky, mess got underneath its divider.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It took God Almighty, working with me, to remove the shelves. A real puzzle. NO! They didn’t just simply pull straight out! But I had to remove them to get them clean!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Well! All’s Well That Ends Well. From start to finish this took one very full hour. As a result of a lot of bending and wrestling with the shelves etc\u00a0 “FOR a few days, my leg and back muscles let me know they were not too pleased!”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I know other Senior Citizens who are experiencing the same issues that I am experiencing. Some of them are not at all happy. No! Not one of us is immune to the challenges of aging. Maybe, just maybe, one of you will feel just a little bit better knowing YOU<\/span> are not alone with this aging process.<\/p>\n

Over and out for this Post.<\/p>\n

Cap and the ever patient Patti who labors to read these Posts and “clean them up for me”!<\/p>\n
