Funny story for your Sunday afternoon.

[William769]

I live in S.W. Florida and when I woke up this morning the temperature was in the low 40's. When I went to bed last night it was comfortable temperature in my home (side note, I take blood thinners). I woke up this morning I thought I was literally freezing to death.

I am not a coffee or tea drinker so I had nothing to warm my body up so I decided to drive to the local Circle K for a cup of hot coffee (the last time I bought a cup of coffee it was simple, you went in got a cup and poured from the pot that was sitting there). I couldn't find the pot. So I stood there in dismay trying to understand my surroundings when one of the clerks noticed I was just standing there doing nothing & she came up to me & ask em what was wrong. I thought a second on whether I should tell her in the moment I couldn't figure out to get a cup of coffee. I wanted coffee! So I told her pretty much what I have just written. She didn't laugh at me she just smiled & said I'll show you how these machines work (there were 5 of them). I thanked her fr her help (even tipped her) paid for my coffee & left.

The moral of this story is your never to old to learn something new.

I got home my house was warm & toasty from turning the heat on earlier.

Have a happy Sunday everyone!

1. Another part of the process these days is getting your name wrong on the order.

So I hear. I'm a tea drinker and make it at home. Happy that you got warmed up.

2. Thanks.

One thing I forgot to add to the story was don't even get me started on the different creamers!

Glad you like tea. Being a hillbilly from kentucky if I drink tea it's got to be sweet tea. Not good for a diabetic.

Love ya.

3. I put real cream in my tea. Too many of the creamers are highly processed and have bad stuff in them.

My preference is for strong tea, no sweetener.

Love ya back!

4. I am on a blood thinner too -

but I pretty much live on coffee. I'm so glad the attendant was kind. And happy to see you are here again

[William769]

5. Glad to see you too!

I am always here, whether I speak all the time is a different story.

I know we go back a long time and I am a better person for it.

6. Some of the kindest and most helpful

people I’ve encountered have been working in convenience stores, and in Denver they’re mostly immigrants.

[William769]

7. Agreed.

8. I am glad you finally got warmed up! That is pretty cold for SW Fla. 😬

And kudos to the clerk that helped you out. The kindness of strangers is still alive and well.

I won’t even tell you how cold it was here last night and today and lucky us, it will be the same tonight and tomorrow. 🥶🥶🥶

Stay warm.

9. I can only imagine.

Another one of my dear sweet friends. So many memories.

10. Jeez, color me dumb. I'm on blood thinners for the last three years and never connected that.....

......with freezing my butt off at night.

12. No blood thinners

But I spend about 6 months of the year with freezing feet. I’m diabetic and have peripheral neuropathy. I use a hot water bottle at night to keep my feet warm.
