LOL, pickled okra? Please tell me that's a true story. And just for you (until its appearance in my uber-post later) I shall share my RadioShack story in which the man I was buying speakers from not only tried to tell me that I couldn't buy the speakers without an account with RadioShack and he couldn't make me one because Alaska isn't...wait, is Alaska a state? (I'm not kidding, he actually asked me) THEN, after I had convinced him that Alaska had indeed been a state for nearly 50 years, he proceeded to ask me if there was actually...wait for it...LAND in Alaska. Cuz, you know, all those pictures just show ice and snow and stuff. This earned him a "look" (you know the look I have for dumbasses who've succeeded in shocking me speechless) and the statement, "No. There's no land at all in Alaska. It's just a floating icecap. Did you pass 3rd grade?" OK, so I didn't say it, but I REALLY wanted to. :D Miss you! MuaH!! PS. At least you'll never send me anything addressed to Anchorage, AL, which is another abbreviation most people try. Unfortunately for Alaska, Alabama joined the union first, so they had dibs on that one ;)

Yes, he really did buy pickled okra.
Did you get my wedding announcement? I am starting to be afraid that I addressed it wrong! Oh--nope, in the address book it's AK. LOL! Whew.
