Black Floss Frustration

I discovered yesterday that I'm running out of DMC black floss, which I need for the project I'm working on right this minute. Silly me, I figured no big deal. I'll just pick it up at Wal-Mart on my way out to dinner.

Not one skein of black in the store. When I questioned how they could run out of black, the answer was I don't know, I guess we didn't order enough.

AAARRRGGGHHH !!!!

I have heard that all Wal Marts are going from DMC to Anchor, a few stores at a time. So perhaps they are not re-ordering in the transition.

Lucille,

I will put some in the mail to you in the morning. You should have it the next day, seeing that we are both in the same state!

Is there mail delivery on Tuesday????? 'Tis Election Day here in the US, as if you haven't been reminded every 15-20 minutes via (highly annoying and aggravating) TV & radio ads!

Thanks for the nice offer, but I'll be able to get it during the week and the project can wait. We do still have a Michaels and a Jo-Ann's within driving distance, as well as another Wal-Mart, so I'm sure to be able to get it somewhere. This time I'll pick up a lot of black and white just to have it on hand. I wonder if I can get it cheap on E-Bay???

I just got annoyed with them...............................again.

One of the many reasons I don't shop at Wal-Mart.

My only other choices, Jo-Anns and Michaels really aren't very much better.

Too late, Lucille!! I just got back from our village store, and dropped the floss in the the box at the Post office at the same time. For just this once, I was *efficient*!

Words can't describe my admiration for your efficiency. Now, let's just see if the post office is as well.

Thanks ever so much.

Oh thank goodness I'm not the only one losing my patience over the "all politics all the time" mode.... I shred more political BS than regular junk mail right now....

Funny - when I went to vote last year, it was at a school, and there was school in session.... at least there were kids there... maybe it was daycare????

And this year I'm working at one of the polling centers, which is at another school... And I just looked up our school systems web site, and it lists no school on election day.

We have early voting, which I did last Tuesday. It's great fun to scream into the phone for the fifteenth time every night since then that they should leave me alone, I already voted.

I live in an area with lots of seniors and we seem to be a target for every candidate, both the real ones and some that are just there to be annoyances, and no one seems to worry about party affiliation.

It's not a federal holiday, so yes the banks are open, and there is mail delivery. That's why the polls are open early and late - so that most people can both work and vote (we have to be at our polling staion to work at 5 am, and don't leave til about 8:30, after polls close at 7).

The holiday - day off for Veteran's Day is on Friday for federal workers - though the day is Nov 11.
