Someone made a boo-boo and left a nasty ring on the table. As for myself, I know nothing about spices and could not name one in this picture. Martha Stewart I am not!
My husband and I went to a dealership --- interested in a new car. We wanted to trade in my car which I bought a few years before we were married.
All the important facts about the new car were directed (solely) to my husband. When the salesman was finished with that he looked at me and said, "Mrs. P-----, what color do you like? "
My husband said very pointedly to him, "You just made a big mistake. I think we'll be going." And we did!
Thank God! I have had a less than good morning. I had to deal with the Toyota dealer for my "unstartable" Prius and instead of helping me with a tow truck they told me I would have to call a towing service. When my husband called, they said they had a towing service they work with and would call them so the towing service could call my husband and set up a pick-up time. Really?????? I am so angry I could scream. We have come a long way, but there is a ways to go!!! AAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!! I had to scream. Have a blessed day, everyone!

Nborchardt, I know what you mean. I used to work on my own cars, so when I went into a dealership for something that was beyond my tools/knowledge, it was always a hassle when I told them what was wrong. "Lady, how do YOU know? " "Because I took it apart in my garage last night." That was in the 70s and I still occasionally have the problem...doesn't last long. I just stare them down until I get a manager...

Those days are VERY frustating and I would scream too! How dare they be less helpful because you are a woman?!?
Praying your day gets very much better and rapidly.

I feel your pain nborchardt, and I'd write a letter to Toyota Headquarters (naming names at your dealership) for the way they treated you...channel your energy into action- it's the only way we can bring about change. I know from experience- it works! Good luck.

Thanks, Aussie! They got the car and it was the battery THEY had put in a year ago, put in a new battery, no charge since the battery is under warranty. I am a happy camper today as opposed to the raging witch I was yesterday! Time, we just need to let time figure things out......why is that so hard?? Blessings and loving hugs to you my friend.

And with me, a constant smile would definitely discombobulate many people!! Thank, aknan!
Talk about the spice of life!!! Wow. I have an appointment with my host school tomorrow at 10 AM. I am super excited and nervous. It is with a Christian school and I am hoping to work with 1st graders in a diverse classroom with students who have different disabilities, especially autism. Please pray that everything goes okay. I will let ya'll know as soon as I can. Please be safe and God bless.
I am praying. Scripture says He wants you to have the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4) Go into the interview believing.

Thank ya'll so much!!! I should be hearing from my host school today or tomorrow. I will be working, however, in the 5th-grade class. It is still okay with me. I just can't wait to get back into a classroom.
I see poppy seeds and pepper corms, maybe tumreic and chilli powder and rosebuds? What are those green things? These kind of puzzles often have those star shaped spices. Is that cardomom?
Have a flavorful day.
