    Did you guys ever have to dissect worms in school? :?:
    Talk about boring :rolleyes:
    We did a worm, and a frog. I think 7th grade. Miss Williams Biology.
    They did baby pigs in high school (Biology II), I specifically didn't take that class because I didn't want to have to do it. :cry: Was bad enough looking at them in the jars.

    It can be a bit rough seeing that, we have gotten pregnant animals at the butcher shop before.
    Kind of sad to discover those.

    So, I had a guy from AirGas call today looking for a past due invoice from Oct. 2015.
    LMBO!!! For like $20.
    I told him, hang on while I get out my violin....he started laughing.
    I said..."seriously, you're not calling on an invoice that old?"
    He said yep...something like 529 days out.
    We got a big laugh.

    I pulled my paid files, and had Nov, Dec. of 2015, stapled to Jan. of 2016.
    They'd had a lease with them, the lease was up, and the tanks returned. The svc. mgr. had been holding the invoices going back and forth over the lease renewal, and finally just gave up. I paid the invoices, and they returned the tanks.
    Now they think we owe for Oct. of 2015. I told him lots of luck... he agreed and marked it disputed, and put it through for further investigation on their end. (aka PTB)

    He could see on his end that we'd been charged incorrectly on the Oct. invoice, he figured Nov., Dec., and Jan were incorrect too.
    Just stupid how people do their receivables these days.

    This guy was super nice. He basically agreed that it was silly.
    I think we've done business with CK too. Trying to think who we get it from now, can't remember to save my life...that will bug me now.
    It's for acetylene and oxygen.

    Oh, that's terrible.
    It happens too often at Carlyle Lake, which isn't too far.
    The lake is HUGE with undercurrents, and well, sadly, often alcohol plays a part.
