Parking Rip-Offs

So I had to drop off a form at the doctor's office, and had to take a ticket to enter the parking lot.  When I came out, I put the ticket in the pay machine and it came up that I had to pay $3.75 for 6 minutes of parking.

As I ground my teeth, I walked over to the office and complained. She said "Oh, we have a 1/2 hour grace period. If you had just put your ticket in the machine upon leaving the lot, you wouldn't have had to pay."

Of course I couldn't get my money back, and there is nothing on the ticket that says anything about a grace period, nor is it on the machine that takes your money.

WTF.

Easter Eggs Dubbed 'Spring Spheres' by Seattle School

SOUTHFIELD, MICH: Are Easter eggs politically correct? One elementary school doesn't think so. The Seattle school chose the word "spring" over "Easter", opting to call Easter eggs "spring spheres". The school isn't the only governmental entity in Seattle choosing the word "spring" over "Easter". Its parks department has stripped the word "Easter" from egg hunt advertising.
