My Trip To Walmart

 Ok I am writing a little differently today. I thought I would try and do a period piece lol. Well tomorrow I have a birthday party to go to ( my granddaughter's ) so I needed to pick up a  card. I also have a three gallon fish tank at home waiting for some fish! I have decided to go back to my old way of relaxing by having some of those enjoy full creatures around. Well the closest place to go here is Walmart.

 My Son needed to get a birthday gift as well so I went by Burger King where he works to pick him up. I got there a little early and decided to try their new fries called "Sater", now I don't know if it was the fries or the sprite I had but one of them played havoc with my intestines! You see I only drink water, sometimes milk but have cut soda out for a long time. So I don't know if that is what hit me wrong of those new fries. I will have to try them again without soda to be sure.

 We get to Walmart and I figure I would go to the pet department first and what do I see but the same sign I had seen for three days "At This Time We Can Not Sell Any Fish" . Well I decided to go to the service desk and find out what is going on . I asked a person there and they did not know so I had them ask a store manager. Well come to find out all of their fish are sick and they are waiting on medicine for them. I tell you that is not good business. I know what probably happen. They probably got some sick fish and only used one net for all the tanks and now all the fish are sick. Having helped build the live animal department in the Berkshire Museum and then worked in there for a year even I know you should use separate nets for each tank you have.

 Ok so that idea was shot down. I went and got a card for my granddaughter which I think she would like and ended up bumping into my other daughter and her daughter as well. I love my grandkids and always love to see them. My granddaughter came running up to me and gave me a big hug. That is one of the best feelings in the world to have a little one give you a sincere hug. I told her about the fish and what I thought happened and she agreed with me ( my daughter that is ). As we were walking thru the store my daughter ended up tripping on the floor, it had bubbled up. This is a Walmart which is being expanded to a super center! I am just glad she did not fall and hurt herself.

 So I guess some time this week it will be time to go to another store to get some fish ( maybe petco? ) I will not get any fish from Walmart now that is for sure.
