I don’t know about you, but I’m one of those people who still refers to CVS as Long’s.

I also continue to mix it up with Rite Aid, even though that company is yesterday’s news.

CVS is the drug store where customers compete to see who can get the longest receipt at checkout. The current record is 10 feet, 7 inches.

People have been known to wallpaper their bathrooms with these receipts or keep them in their car’s glove box to quickly wipe up unexpected spills.

They also make excellent place mats for Thanksgiving dinner.

Those receipts also frequently contain “cash back” coupons to make your CVS experience even merrier.

With that in mind, I was thrilled the other day to receive a thick piece of mail from the “CVS Settlement Administrator” promising me the possibility of untold riches pouring into our East Davis home from the “COURT APPROVED CVS SETTLEMENT.”

Oh my goodness, Sweetheart, our ship has finally landed.
