Some words of wisdom: Make sure that you take what you plan to

This is my drum beat and it is my strategy. This applies to my shopping trips and to my meals at restaurants.

I plan, make sure that it is what I seek, and do my best to get or take what

I plan to.

For if I were to settle for substitutes then it would be me who would be the

unhappy one and I would have no one else to blame but myself. So this is how I start all of my shopping trips: with list in hand and I make sure to

describe exactly what I seek.

I always show my list to the person accompanying me so that they know exactly what I am looking for. There is the odd occasion when I would need to expand because what I seek is not available. I believe that having a list in hand is not just helpful to me but also to the one with me.

In the case of restaurants, it is entirely up to me to ensure that I explain

and describe to the waiter exactly what I desire. In short, to speak up on my own behalf!
