SOME THINGS WE PAID FOR AND SOME THINGS WERE FREE

It was a day of errands and we ended up with 16  stops altogether in Goderich today.  Luckily, the weather was fine (except for the cold) so we all piled into the Subaru, and off we went.  Errands are not always my favorite thing to do but sometimes one just has to get out there and get them done.  Here, in order, were our stops....The Bayfield Library, Goderich's Re-Use-It Store, Medi-E-Ox Medical Equipment, MicroAge Basics, Cait's Cafe, A Jewellery Store, Goderich Post Office, Banter and McEwen Insc. for a 2024 calendar, the harbor and beach area, the Post Office again, Parson's Used Furniture, St. Vincent de Paul (used furniture & medical etc.) Medi-Ox again, Zehr's Supermarket, and the Canadian Tire Store.  To say we were both relieved to be home again hours later would be an understatement.  But, our necessary browsing was fruitful and we ended up with a carload of stuff.  Some things we paid for and some things were free.  St. Vincent de Paul definitely is a good place to go for free medical aides.

Why did the smartphone go to the dentist?

It had a Bluetooth.

Why did the donut go to the dentist?
To get a filling!

What does an orthodontist do on a roller coaster?  She braces herself.

My teeth were stained, so the dentist asked me, “do you smoke or drink coffee?”  I told him I drink it.

Patient: How much does it cost to have a tooth pulled?
Dentist: $100.
Patient: All that for only a few minutes of work? That’s expensive.
Dentist: Don’t worry, I can pull it out slower if you’d like.
