Life Lesson

Walmart

I always buy ‘el cheapo’ mens’ digital watches at Wal-Mart. I can see them better – and that’s the whole point as far as I’m concerned – and I don’t have to slit my throat if I mess one up.

I learned a life lesson after watching fireworks from our deck Wednesday night – DON’T spray your watch with Deep Woods Off!

I didn’t notice I had a problem until Thursday morning when I started to put my watch on. It was smeary with the residue of the Off. I got a Kleenex and wiped it off, but then the smear turned to sticky, awful STUFF. I took the watch downstairs and used Goo Gone on it. That helped some, but not enough. I followed that with a bit of Windex on a Kleenex and voila! the face of my digital watch was SO messed up I couldn’t see through it. I tried other things, but to no avail.

When we went shopping later in the day, I got another watch, much like the one above, so I’m fixed again until the NEXT time I learn a life lesson.
