    TMS, I am sending you all best wishes, vibes, and prayer for your strength and comfort.
    My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!

    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.
    At the convention I went to in February the bag had very little but a couple of the vendors had cool stuff. A really nice charger plug, a great reusable bag (similar to BAGGU), and of course, I always take a pen or two.

    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...

    I’m sick of importers (customers) keeping asking us to commit customs fraud so they play less duty on China stuff. Some of this is on air freight, so departed well after the increases went into effect. You knew what was going on and you still chose to ship it? One customer who didn’t ask for fraud brought in a shipment worth $1.2 million. Total duties and fees were $1.8 million.

    And people still actually wonder aloud why prices are increasing. It's mind-blowing. Yet my BIL is still blaming all price increases on Biden and Obama. (Of course he's an idiot)
