Sounding a bit haughty there...
I know, and I apologize if I sound like a snob. For my own reasons, I really dislike that store, and most of their business practices. When I do shop there, which is rarely, I always feel like I shouldn't have.

Two trips in two weeks, I should be done shopping there for the year!

What is it you dislike about walmart? If their business practices bring cheaper prices to people who are barely making ends meet, isn't that a good thing? It also helps people who are having a tough time with gas prices because they can go to one place for everything from clothing to auto supplies and groceries.

I know their prices and selection help us out instead of having to drive all over the place.

So who registered for Nor'Easter track day?! I put a post over in that topic but no one has answered so far...

The event organization Ian told me he has one S registered for our track day already and he thought the guy's name was Eric.

I asked him Eric with a K (like Erick) but he did not remember. Anyone here registered already and didn't tell me???!

There MUST be something wrong with me. I went into Wal-Mart again. I needed cheap sneakers that I can get all full of dirt, mud and who knows what else while working in the yard.

What better place to get crap clothing that you know you won't care about, than Wal-Mart.

The place still creeps me out.
Why bother going there than? I have no idea why people whine about Wal-mart but always end up back in them...ahh I know The almighty $ rules and this is the one place where one saves the most of them.

That's a BIG political discussion, we've been there done that so many times.

Not going there today, but nice try.

And in addition, for someone like me who lives in a smaller community, my shopping options are limited. Many times I can find something at Wal-Mart I just flat out cannot find someplace else.

Then of course, having this happen over, and over, and over sort of makes one thing they ought to just go try Wal-Mart 1st...
