Today Pam had the milk out of the refrigerator and was smelling it. She had the screw lid off if it and her nose was right over the top. (The lid off the milk not off the refrigerator.) That is not a good sign. It usually means it has gone bad (the milk not the refrigerator).
I needed some milk for my cereal and she said it was okay. And it did seem okay.
We buy milk in those plastic jugs. As you know the best jugs are the ones you can see the milk inside. It is rewarding and comforting to see your milk. But the jug we were dealing with this morning was opaque white. You couldn't see the milk. It's like they want to hide something. You are pretty sure milk is in there but there is no way to know for sure because you can't see your own milk.
So everyone knows the best jugs are the clearer ones. Okay, maybe you don't know that but everyone else knows it so that's why I can say "everyone knows this".
But sometimes you get what you get when it comes to the milk game.
Then later in the day Pam said we will have company tomorrow and we need new milk. New milk. Fresh Milk. Good Milk. We didn't need new milk for me, but for company... people who don't even live here... we need better milk.
So what do you make of that? What is the meaning of this? There is some deep psychological issue here that needs to be uncovered on an unconscious level.
On the list I knew the first word was "herseys". You can see it there on the list for yourself. You don't know this, but I know that this means chocolate in the bottle. So although it is "shorthand" I was very proud of myself to figure that one out on my own.
Milk was the second one, and it was easy to figure out because she told me I had to go get milk because the milk we have is bad for company, (but not bad for me).
I knew I need help with this third item, because I had no clue what it said.
The store is usually not real busy. I had to get help to read the list. I asked a young clerk for help.
She thought it is "1 uranium - 2". One uranium dash 2.
So I asked her if they sold "One uranium dash 2" and she said no, they do not.
I asked if they had ever sold anything that had uranium in it's name and she said she didn't think so.
So we mutually concluded that the writing probably didn't say "uranium anything".
It looks like "- I U neam 2". What does it look like to you? And if it really is "- I U neam 2" what aisle would that be in?
The last item looks like instructions to go to a baseball game and spray a batter. Okay, but what if they object to being sprayed? And sprayed with what?
Or maybe it says 5 pray batter.
Not on the list is my favorite dip. So I wasn't able to buy it because she didn't put it on the list and I forgot I wanted it.
I'm wondering if the grocery store reported us to the government of the USofA for wanting to buy "1 uranium - 2". I wonder if "1 uranium - 2" it is dangerous. I bet the Iranians would love to have some. And maybe even typing it in this little... this... whateverthisis could put us on the radar of some clandestine operative.
If he comes to visit during the night I hope he brings my dip.
