You're too funny-It's good to have you posting again. Definitely call your cart a trolley-You won't get any strange looks over that.

Thanks! It's good to be posting...I don't think it's healthy for me to stay away from afullcup for too long....even if I'm trying not to shop too much and...even if I have 100+ boxes of cereal. (Although I just filled up some "shopping orders" for friends at work from my stockpile, so maybe I'm actually under 100 now)...

Way back when, I worked as a cashier at Big Y...I had a British customer come through one day...and she did indeed call the cart a trolley...and then got really flustered when trying to pay with cash...she was pulling it out from like this pocket and that pocket and different areas of her purse...all the while stating what each one was, here's a one, and here's a five, and here's another one...then she got frustrated and handed me all of it, asking for help and said 'I don't understand American money, it's all the same colour'....mind you this sounds much funnier when I tell the story with an accent....

I have an old Mentos gum container I use for my change. Otherwise it all ends up at the bottom of my purse and my purse ends up weighing a ton

We have a Wii and they have these contests where people design Mii's to match a certain theme (the Miis are the little people you use to play the games). One of the categories was "someone who takes too long in line at the grocery store". My kids were like - we should have submitted your Mii for this contest.
