TMS, prayers your way and your mom, too.
TMS, I am sending you all best wishes, vibes, and prayer for your strength and comfort.
I am a petty, petty person. OK I admit it. Now with that out-of-the-way…
I’ll be attending 2 conventions this year. The first one is over. As usual, at the registration desk, they shove a bag full of crap at you. Usually, I take out the conference program and my name badge and hand the bag of crap back to the registration desk people because I just don’t want it, it irritates me.
But this time, oh no! The bags were personalized with our names on them. Sigh. So I sucked it up and took home the bag. And this bag will go down in conference history as THE WORST bag o’crap ever.
people actually crafted things for this bag. There’s a crocheted bookmark. Somebody sewed a fabric container for little Kleenex packages. And etc., I was going to count the number of items in the bag, but then I thought why should I spend my time doing that? I need to get over to the Simple Living Forums to register my complaint! Ha ha.
so here’s a picture of it all. It will all go into the trash later today so I don’t have to think about it anymore.

Next weekend there’s another convention. They are giving information about where to register and where to “pick up your goodie bag.” Oh joy, another bag full of crap.
I think this obsession with tiny things in a bag is tied to the female sex. I would like to stop in at a convention of engineers and see what’s in their registration packet. I suspect there’s not 42 little bitsy items.
That does look like a lot of crap.Quote:

Yep, that’s a lot of crap. Into the trash it would go with me.
Ugh! That is a horrific amount of crap and many people's wasted time when they could be doing something way more useful with that money and time like reading to children, or helping adults with literacy, helping in a food kitchen and on and on...
Thanks for confirming this haul was over the top!Quote:
