praises we sing

So I was talking to my friend, Jason, the other day, while we were watching General Conference. We were talking about how much we love The Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the hymns. Jason started to list off his top 5. When I thought about naming my top 5 I was completely stumped. I couldn't even dream of narrowing my list down to just 5. Impossible. I just love the hymns so much. Anyway, I thought about it some more and came up with my top 10. Then I also chose my 5 Runners Up. So technically, that is 15. Is that cheating? I don't care. I could list the Runners Up for the Runners Up list as well, but that might be going too far...I know, I'm a nerd.

separate, but not what i meant

So I was buying something for work and for myself the other day. I asked the cashier if I could make two, separate transactions. The cashier said yes.

He rang up the first pile, bagged it. I swiped my card. Then he quickly scanned in the second pile and gave me the new total. He placed the second pile in the bag as well. I reminded him that I had wanted separate transactions.

He said, "Oh," and pulled out the second pile of items, rebagged them, and placed them into the first bag. I didn't bother to clarify again.
