Information- Best to Worst

 I have two topics I would like to discuss today.

Where I shop... and the best house I ever lived in and the worst house I ever lived in.

So, the best house I ever lived in was my 90 Forest Cove Drive house... almost 29 years.

The worst house I ever lived in was what Warren termed a 'chicken coop,' his words, not mine; until he named it so. I don't know if Warren still calls it the 'chicken coop' after all the labour intensive jobs I did there.

Now, where I shopped in Dauphin... a lot of thrifting... garage sales and the local thrift store.

Where I shop in Winnipeg... almost all thrifting.

I have applied at the thrift store, where I shop, but I have not heard back from them yet. I would love to work there.

So, organizing receipts is a task many of us do, I'm sure, and this morning I have a question about my receipts where I have spent money for the items I have been forced to purchase since being forced to leave all my belongings at 225 5th Avenue, N.E., in Dauphin until I am allowed to go back to my home, there, and make sure not even one thing that I own has been touched by a person in my forced absence. I will be taking legal action if any of my 'life estate belongings' has been 'touched or looked at (all my private papers)' by anyone.

Now, talking about receipts from a store where I have shopped a lot... 

As with many stores, I don't know why the names of employees has to be on receipts. Is this a certain law or why do companies do this? So, as I was organizing receipts this morning to see how much I have been forced to spend when I have all my life belongings in my Dauphin home... I noticed that there are 'Christian' names on some receipts but then, on another receipt it said 'House Account.' All of the receipts are from the same store. I've never seen that before.

I used to get mad at a young salesman who was a quick learner and a quick study. He would listen to me selling something and then he had this super sharp brain that could then memorize what I was saying in order to use it for the people he sold something to. We sold the same product at the same location, employed by the same company owner. One day, I confronted him on the fact that it seemed he had learned quite a bit from my sales technique but he hadn't gone to school for interior design. He was in school for commerce. He smiled at me in his smug manner and said, 'Information is king.' which, of course, in his world, meant that 'information,' literally brought him 'capital,' more money in his paycheck.

I was very annoyed that I had spent a lot of money from 2003-2007 in interior design education and he was 'getting it for free,' from me, because he was this super learner.

I have essays that I cannot replace, at 225 5th Avenue, N.E., in Dauphin, that I would like to use, for money, to apply for jobs. What if my essays are not all  intact and in the perfect white woven basket, inside my 'Co-op' bag, when I finally get to go through all my 'household estate belongings?' How much would I get to charge for any items that may be missing? Whom do I give that bill to? How quickly can I get paid for all that? 

I still have not been given the 'go ahead' to make sure I can go through all my 'life belongings' which cannot be touched by anyone... I own them all... my novels, my inventory, my schoolwork, my Bibles, my books, my kitchen everything, my garden everything, my bathroom everything, my clothes and boots and shoes and winter mitts and scarves everything, my supplies everything, my renovation labour everything, my personal information everything... well, everything.

So, the only 'insurance' against all this possible theft is a birth certificate and a marriage certificate which I applied for and had to pay for since I arrived back in Winnipeg in early September. I am very worried about all my 'life belongings.' I have contacted a few lawyers to see how to proceed.
