my local supermarket is bringing back that irritating 'benefit' of the 1950s--stamps you are given with a certain amount of money spent, stamps which will go, as i recall, either to one specific item or to one of a series of items. Anyway, Shaw's is giving customers stamps toward some sort of dinnerware set. i have yet to accept a single stamp; it's too complicated and my dishes are ancient melmac which never breaks so why do i need a perky new set?
at the same supermarket, you can also buy your monthly transit set, something i do use, so today i dropped by to get my october pass. as i was about to recycle my receipt, i glanced at the bottom of it.
surrounded by asterisk stars was a lovely announcement, which read as follows:
****************************************
Congratulations!
You have earned 0
Racheal Ray Dinnerware Stamps

i wonder when i'll have time to redeem them, and exactly what i'll get for that many?

You didn't read the fine print! You can trade your 0 Rachael Ray Dinnerware Stamps for any of the following:
0 complete sets of 1962 Topps baseball cards
0 complete sets of the 1956 edition of the World Book Encyclopedia
or
0 records (33 1/3 speed) of "Great Movie Theme Songs of 1957"
But you'd better hurry. Others could trade for these gifts before you. There is a limited supply.
thanks, bob! i'd really love to have 0 records fo 1957 theme songs....though actually, i'll have to check my files----i may have that many already...
Actually, Karen, if you find you already have 0 records for 1957 TV theme songs, I can complete your collection for the late 1950s by giving you 0 records of 1958 TV theme songs and 0 records of 1959 TV theme songs. I'd be happy to do this as a gift. Absolutely 0 charge.
