Awkward

So for the most part working at the video store is pretty good. The people that rent and the staff/owner are all really great.
That being said I had a really awkward experience yesterday evening. So we have an adult room at the store. This guy come in and asks where it is... he goes in and is in there for like an HOUR and then come ups to the front with his selections. The Conversation goes like this

Me: Hi there, how are you today?
Guy:Good thanks.
Me:So you are purchasing these ones then(there was 3 there)
Guy: Well I want you to tell me about them first.

WTF what would I know about your selections... I stay away from that room as much as possible... it ended up that he wanted to know about costs and stuff but still....

He ended up being in the "happy room" for a good 2 Hours before making his final selections and leaving....

I find it hard with situations like these... I don't think of myself as a prude or anything... but I also would rather not have anything to do with those movies....

I find it funny when people with these type of movies leave the store as well, What does one say? If you were renting a normal movie I would say something like have a good night or enjoy your movie.... but I can't bring myself to say that to people renting from the "happy room" without it becoming something different.

Hope you can smile at my awkward moment

Remembered

I have been curious lately about life and how we choose to live our lives and I want to ask this question. So if you have stopped by this blog for any reason or for no reason, I would really like you to let me know what you think.
What is it that you wish to be remembered for? Do you think that you have achieved that or do you think that it is something that you are trying to obtain still?
Thanks

Strength Surrendered

As long as I can remember I have pictured my Great Aunt Willa as a small but mighty woman. She has had numerous bouts of cancer and treatments. I would say that for at least the last decade or more of her life she has battled with or been in remission from one form of cancer or another and has won. She has fought it off and lived to tell the tale of survival of a hideous desease that hits hundrends of thousands of people. That was until Sunday. I got the email a few weeks ago that she wasn't doing well and that it was just a matter of time... I guess that this time... it was time...her strength just simply surrendered.
Peace be with her finally, peace be with my cousins, as they say goodby to their mom, my Uncle Fred as he says goodbye to his wife and my Grandmother and Aunt Grace as they remember their sister; one of the bravest and strongest women I know.
