My husband needed a part for one of his projects and said it was in stock at Home Depot in Brookhaven. He asked me it I wanted to ride with him. I said, "today?" He said, "Yes." I decided to compromise and negotiated going the following day, which was today. I proposed that we go in the late evening and eat at Cracker Barrel on the way home. Bingo! He took the bait and I didn't have to cook tonight! Win-Win! He stopped for his part before we went to eat. I decided to wait for him in the car. He came back empty handed. I asked him what happened and he said out of stock. Their website said they had like 26 in stock. We continued on to dinner at Cracker Barrel. I told him he should stop at Lowe's in McComb on the way home. That was better than making a special trip back for the part. He agreed to that and we made it in plenty of time before the store closed. They also had the part in stock. That was our excitement for the day. How did your day go?

Win-win, indeed! Haha. I am currently feeling sick, so I can’t move around much.

When it comes to websites, I have to check if they mean in general or on store shelves. An easy mistake to make.

Yep! He usually gets it right, but this time may not have. That is a lot to have been sold today (26) unless to a contractor.

@kareng Could of been, or the website counted their online stock not what was actually at the store.

Oh, aren’t you sneaky. Yesterday was a doctor’s appointment, which went very well. Today is occupational therapy for the arthritis in my hands, which will also hopefully go well.

He loves food and to eat, so I can always manipulate getting him to go somewhere with the enticement of good food! Next on the list is a nice seafood restaurant in January. I am due some good oysters! Oh arthritis in hands is horrible. My mom complained all the time about that. I have it in one finger on one hand. It is amazing at how bad that one finger can hurt. It's my middle finger...haha.

@kareng — my middle finger is bent slightly. It’s rather embarrassing to show to the doctors…..

That's annoying when you expect a part to be there and it isn't. But at least you found it somewhere else.

He did, but ended up having to go back to town today to get something else. We have been to town every day this week I believe. That's a first!

Yes, and took care of his Christmas present to boot. I had already found the perfect birthday gift for him. A new reel for a fishing pole he had picked up a few weeks ago.
