1. There is this street I sometimes walk down that has a gigantic sign on it on one side window that says PAIN. On the other side window is a sign that flashes ARE YOU IN PAIN?
Then the store is kind of empty and strange.
But they sell shoe inserts of some kind.
2. I am an awful person because Mimi Smartypants linked to a murder story because some block near her house was cordoned off while the murderer committed suicide and I looked up the murderer on Facebook. Yes, he's on there and more awful is that someone with the last name as his victim (who was his girlfriend) is right there among his friends. (I didn't click on the friends--it just sort of shows up next to him.)
Why do I do things like that? Such rubbernecking.
I'm going to say three Hail Marys right now.
The thing about the pain store is that if they just branched out and sold everything for everyone in pain they would make a mint. We need to have a PAIN STORE that is just for people in every kind of pain. They could sell Advil, Jack Daniels, backrubs. That store would never go out of business.
Please don't steal this idea. I may need a job soon.
(By the way I have no idea where those ads came from. They just appeared the other day. I do not know why or how.)
Ahhhh... Ozma, she is back.

That idea is genius, ozma. You could make an absurd amount of money opening one in midtown Manhattan. Tourists, businesspeople, cab-drivers, students---they'd all come in and you could offer a clean comfortable bathroom, relaxing music, a little room with a cot for naps, a counselor to hear out the heartbroken, etc. I imagine someone willing to sew up a torn hem could be in there, offering the Jack and Advil. Visitors could spend $10 just to have an hour alone with the holy book of their choice. A killing, ozma. A killing.

Sorry, forgot to tell you about the ads. I did that.

Yer hubby's messing with you. I'm kind of appalled that they're all ads for police or law enforcement school. I guess it's the murder reference.

I have a pain store! It's at www.thepainstore.com - imagine that! The thing is, having been in pain myself since 1999, I know pain - and my lovely pain doc is helping me make this happen. Please, by all means, check it out and tell me what you think. :) Opening a store in midtown would be great, but unfortunately, I am a little far away to do that just yet. Maybe one day, and I'd for sure consider you for manager! :) Heather
