Argh. I sympathise. An empty stomach adds just the extra bit of YOU STAND BETWEEN ME AND A SANDWICH-crank to an annoying situation. That I faint with a low bloodsugar level adds to that.

I feel your pain. Today I had a guy literally cut in front of my boyfriend and I because he had been out of line talking with his wife, and then told us "excuse me." I assumed okay, he's just going the other way, BUT CUT IN FRONT OF US.

If my boyfriend hadn't calmed me down I would've shanked him with a letter opener too. He kept on giving us this weird glares, too, like it was OUR fault he wasn't in line or something.

Our transaction was like ten times faster than his though so whatever. :/

And this kind of thing is why I'm glad I cancelled Christmas a few years back.

I once got stuck in a Borders in Chicago behind a guy trying to pay with six francs and a travelers check, so I feel your pain.

AMEN.

I started giving friends and family presents on Groundhog's Day instead. Way less chaos.

In time gone by, that little item would have been called a bell-pull, and there would have been one in every room, for the summoning of servants. I suppose young ladies might have embroidered such things as part of their needleworking educations, though I don't know for sure. And I definitely don't know how they went from being an indoor functional thing to being a Christmas decoration.

Oh, and happy belated birthday. We share. :)

There was a brief vogue in the late 70s for needlepointing elaborate bellpulls. Nobody had bells to ring with them, of course, so they hung on the wall on little bits of specialty baroque hardware. Mom made a rather lovely, if completely pointless, bellpull backed with blue velvet.

Food deprivation rage is powerful, powerful stuff. They are lucky, those people. More than they will ever know.

True dat. When I'm hangry, people need to get out of my way, lest blood be shed.

I have a similar syndrome. We don't talk about the dirt floor in our basement anymore.
