I feel vindicated...and it's rather nice.

Have this unfortunate habit of picking up pretty things now and then if they're on sale...stuff I won't/can't use, but "it'll come in handy if....".

About a month ago, I'd both my vacuum cleaner AND my steam cleaner to the local fix-it store.
Despite the "We no longer work on (my particular machines)" sign on the wall, the guy behind the counter not only fixed them, he didn't charge me a penny, for his time OR a belt and filter.
:wow:
I was brought up to be courteous, and felt obligated to buy SOMETHING from his store, so I bought a very nice cinnamon-flavored deodorizing candle-in-a-jar. Very attractive it was, too...

It came in handy yesterday. I'd been invited to a Thanksgiving potluck (my part: the appetizers), and I wanted to bring a hostess gift. Our hostess doesn't drink (lets out a bottle of my best), flowers not a good idea for various reasons...what to do, what to do...then my eye fell on the candle I'd purchased.
PERFECT.:thumbsup:

Not only does she like scented candles for their own sake, she has a couple of elderly dogs who sometimes forget about going outside...so the odor-removal properties will come in very useful.

I love it when stuff like that happens...:)

1. Excellent ...

Also, how good is it that they didn't charge a penny?

Go back and buy something else for yourself, now! :-)
