Glad to hear the good report on your grandson. He seems to be getting very grown up! A friend asked me last week whether I used the online ordering at Walmart, and I said No, I like to check the clearance prices. However, if I did order online, I might save overall by not buying stuff we could really do without, and not taking kids in the store, with their everlasting, “Can we get ....?”

I was amazed at that bit of wisdom from my 23 (?) year old grandson, who hasn't even been married a year, yet. If I could get to the point where I could join an exercise group, I wouldn't have to go to Walmart, but the emotional and physical stresses would be too much. I have my list, and I stick to it. There are occasions when I see something I really, really can't live without, but...

Like yesterday, I saw this really cute chambray dress I've had my eye on, and I put it in my cart, got about 50 yards away and took it back. The sleeves on it were so short, it would not only show my massive scars from my trip over the yarn bin two years ago, but would also expose the flab under my arm that I can't get rid of.

Practicality usually wins.
