I try real hard not to get excited about the small crap in everyday life. The real big stuff like, "God did it," swears Mary, I leave to others. However, I do get off on sneaky charges added to something I buy. Heading home from Sam's Club today, I stopped at Filibertos for a burrito and a coke. No big deal as I fumble out my debit card and hand it over. When the slip comes back to me there is a $.60 processing fee added on> Hmmm, that's 9% vig on top of the bill. Considering that I paid 8.8% tax to the city and state, I now have paid about 17% more for my food. My point is: If you are buying something the charges levied should be stated up-front. Kinda the honest thing to do, don't you think?
On the ankle issue, had to put off the final surgery. Had noone to drive me home and 'watch me' for the ensuing 24 hours after anesthetic. Life goes on.
