My penance? 10 hail mary's, 10 our fathers and 5 glory be's. I didnt do those either.

Oh My, I would do the same thing, sit and think of something to tell him, cause you couldn't tell the Father the REAL stuff!
Oh and O worked at the Ohio BMV for 5 years,, EVERYONE lies about their weight, there were times when I'd ask " Is your height and weight the same?" and Oh yes.. I wanted to say " You didn't weigh 110 in grade school! ha , but I never did, I just rolled with it,,of course I lied on mine too. But the best part of that job,, I could take 10+ pictures, I always had thee best pictures on my license. Strangers would even comment " Oh,what a good picture." Oh Thanks! lol

Heres one-
Had a yard sale, Have alot of Guatamalens ( sp) well, had this old gross silver chain link belt for sale .25 cents.. this one guy was WAY into it,, he comes over not speaking much English,,he says " 20?!" I say "25" this goes on awhile, he leaves ( empty handed) almost closing time comes back and says " 20" I Again, say " 25" So, he hands me $25.00, and wraps the belt AROUND HIS NECK like a necklace, and away he went, happy as could be with his new necklace. I was so frickin' happy.

This a bad confession....when dh and I were in our twenties we knew someone who knew someone who was stealing tractor trailer loads of ten speed bikes from Walmart. That year 6 neices and nephews got brand spankin' new bikes for Christmas courtesy of their "receiving stolen property" aunt and uncle. Btw, we did not tell their parents where these bikes came from.

PS I am not writing a letter of apology or sending a check to any member of the Walton's either

That is probably the funniest thing that I have ever heard! You made a really good profit on that thing! I bet if you would have known in the beginning that he was offering you a 20 dollar bill than you would have given him that thing in a heart beat!

Halfway through I started to think " He thinks I mean DOLLARS." then it became a mission to see if I could get it.. and I DID, all my girlfriends were losing it, they were all " OH you're so mean" I said " hey, if you are that stupid to think that is worth 25.00 then.. you deserve it."

ENJOY.... I said, as he left!

You are so mean....LOL. Had a yard sale once....had an old comestic case suitcase... that when we were carrying stuff out....we'd stuck an old hair dryer in it. Now the hair dryer didn't even work....guy buys the comestic case....never mentions that hair dryer...friend asks if I'd taken it out....NOPE...but stoop-o just stole himself a broken hair dryer

Good! they don't deserve anything! I actually get tickled when I hear of bad stuff happening to Wal-Mart. I guess that's another confession

I also confess when I found $20 outside of a 7/11, I did NOT ask anyone if they'd lost it. I only felt a tiny bit of guilt while sticking it in my pocket......

Cleanse yourselves and present your confessions to Father Deb

In Jersey they don't ask for your weight anymore!

That's cause you all lie any way

I'll confess in my dating days, I gave men non existent telephone numbers...well maybe they existed but they weren't mine.

I'll also confess then baby brother and I were kids....we broke/smashed/destroyed a butler's chair that belonged to my father. You know it's a seat that you could hang a jacket, ties, and stuff on.....any way rather than tell we broke it....we rigged it so no one knew. Next time my dad sat on it....splat....he thought he'd broken it We generally used this method whenever we could get away with it.

I'll admit that instead of paying $$ for honor system snacks...I have placed an IOU in the box

Dawned on me to late to edit that I shouldn't have posted the store name. Someone could report me to the 1-800-We lock you up for stealing at Walmart number and turn me in. Anyone know what the statue of limitations is on theft? I can't even turn state's witness cause I can't remember the guy's name who did the stealing. Btw, he didn't take the whole truck....just what was inside....

Oh my! I am just horrified to think I hang out with you criminals! Hee hee. Ok, here is mine. When we got the money back from our first yorkie who died, Bandit, we had to go to the store to get it. We already had Tucker at home, but I pretended that we didn't. My son was saying "Come look at this yorkie puppy" And I said "I don't have the heart to. It will be a long time before I can even look at another yorkie" just because I wanted the jerk who sold him to us to feel bad! the guy was like "If you ever are ready for another one, just come and see me". Was he kidding? He sold us a sick dog and we had to report him to consumer affairs to get our money back!
