I tried to follow that there saga, but I now look a little like this:

Funny story time.

I have a soda stream... I LOVE my soda stream... and usually my neighbour picks up the C02 cartridges from Canadian Tire because there are none available in my neighbourhood.

A few weeks ago... I discovered that Shopper's Drug Mart carries them... so... YEAH... I don't have to bother my neighbour anymore.

I picked up a C02 tank... I thought it was strange that the wrapper colour was pink instead of blue... but because I am NOT observant.... I went ahead and purchased it. When you buy a new tank and bring your old refill bottle... you do NOT have to pay a deposit fee... so usually... I pay 19.99 for a full tank plus tax. Without the empty bottle... full price is around 35.00. ( Are you confused yet?? ).

A C02 tank without an empty refill is anywhere from 35.00 to 40.00.
A C02 tank with the empty refill is 19.99. Makes no sense to me. That's the math on it.

So.... I come to find out that the PINK bottle does NOT fit my Soda Stream... and NOPE... I don't have my receipt.
I went back to Shopper's Drug Mart with my full pink C02 tank... with the hope that they would remember me.
Luckily... they were able to scan the bottle and bring up my receipt... so they gave me the money back for the full bottle.

I forgot to ask for my EMPTY TANK back.... so... this morning... I went back to Shoppers Drug Mart to see if I could retrieve my blue tank back.

The lady came from the back of the store with a blue bottle with lid on it... and she said... Sorry mam... we do not have any empty tanks... but I am just going to GIVE you this full one.

I should have noticed that there was NO plastic on the lid.... and I did not notice that she was rather on the light side.
Low and behold... I got home.... SO EXCITED for a FIZZY DRINK..... only to discover that she had given me back my basically empty tank. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I went from SHEER JOY.... to UTTER DISAPPOINTMENT...to SHEER JOY AGAIN.... BECAUSE the lady really meant to give me what she thought was a full tank with the blue wrapper that she only found ONE of.... HAHAHA.

I did the same thing. I bought my sister one for Christmas last year. I got her replacement tanks and got the wrong ones. Lucky, Canadian Tire replaced the open one and refunded my money to buy the right ones.

Well, I started off trying to EXTORT and I got in trouble.
Then, I tried to EXPORT and I got lost.
Then, I went for EXERT, and I got EXHURT.
So now I am working on my EXHORTING. We'll see what happens. Could be entertaining.........

While you were EXPORTING.... BEFORE you got EXHURTED..... Did you happen to notice what happened to Bob's CHAIR??
Someone mentioned it looked like someone SAT on it... but I can't even FIND it. BOB's CHAIR is GONE.

Well.....the snails were having a dance party......so I helped out and moved the furniture around for them. I don't know where I moved any of the furniture to......as I have my head DOWN while PUSHING the furniture. I did hear some crashing......
Those snails can dance though......

Well..... What an exciting time for the SNAILS.... The SPRING FLING Dine n' Dance was a HUGE success.
A big thank you to Mr. Moose for "Clearing the dance floor"... and losing Bob's chair.

I contacted our friend Bubba who lives in Kentucky... He is related to Pastor Gary ( it's always a wonderful thing when you KNOW someone who knows someone )... Anyways.... apparently... Bubba knows someone who has a spare chair... and so.... Bob will be getting a FREE chair. It should be arriving this afternoon.

I cannot believe it is May 9th already. It seems like April and so far May has been zooming by.
My plants are so READY to go outside into their summer homes... however... the problem is that we are still experiencing harsher temps. It's as if the COLD button is STUCK and won't release. HA

My neighbour delivered my bags of potting soil and one bag of cow manure. Whatever I don't use for my pots... will go directly into the garden.

I have yet to clean up all the leaves and pine needles.... but it's been cold and I want them to be bone dry before I rake. It makes bagging them so much easier and "lighter".... so I am thinking that this week-end... I will get that done.

Happy Friday everyone... I love you all.

This is a public announcement and important REMINDER.... It's time for the SPRING anti- owl- possession shot.
I have contacted the health nurse and she is willing to come to the CABIN for a brief lecture on how to avoid this AWFUL virus.... as well as offer free vaccinations... to those interested. :D

Snacks and fizzy drinks will be served.
