We'll get over that way ..................one of these days.
OK - now I really have to get ot the store.
BBL
When you live where I do, there is no elsewhere..........
So Walmart is providing a public service for you then, right?(Keeping the undesirables out of your sight and out of your stores.)
let us know when you do and it's a date! :)
i'm n ot headed anywhere today. it's snowing
like crazy out there...again. might be another
plow day for pat :)
no elsewhere? you have got to be kidding. :(
no small specialty or quilt shops? those are
real treasures :)
Since I am subsidizing Wally World's existance in my community by paying a share of the taxes that Wally World is not required to pay, I ought to have some say over the type of people that Wally World allows through its doors. (Of course I am only kidding.)
No elsewhere, unless I want to drive 50+ miles and I don't sew enough to find that appealing. I have all the fabric I need for the curtains I'm making, and I'm teaching myself the basics of machine quilting, but it's not something I see myself doing much of in the future. I'm only figuring it out to make a pillow for Jax to match a fleece blanket she and I are going to finish tomorrow.
I'll just go back to cross stitch....I have enough floss and patterns to last me for years, and I never bought fabric for that in WalMart.
Bingo !
It is government intervention in the act of anti-American "Free Trade" (which in reality are one-sided) bills that have allowed Wal-Mart to prosper at the expense of the American worker. Since then Wal-Mart has succeeded in driving it's entire manufacturing base overseas.
"Buy America" indeed. There's more than one way to be a traitor.
Shopping in a Wal-Mart in Northwest Arkansas (home of Wal-Mart) is like being in a third world country.
He also visited every store in the chain every so often and would greet each worker by name. I knew folks who worked there 20 years or more and would tell me how different things were when Sam was alive.
The kids seem to be morally bankrupt.
Same applies to our Wal-Mart. The meat is TERRIBLE. My wife does all of the grocery shopping except for red meat. I always go out to a local grocery store for our steaks and burgers. Theirs is so much better. The only thing wal-mart meat is good for is hamburger helper. I heard the reason they quit cutting their meat locally and went with prepackaging is their butchers threatened to unionize.
In Fayetteville, AR you can also make a medical appointment now.
But you would be crazy to get an oil change at a Wal-Mart.
The cat's probably an illegal.
That is, since the transportation costs are the same--regardless of quality--they eat a higher percentage of the lower-quality items. I recall Rush posing this question to listeners back in the late 80s or early 90s and was surprised at how few people understood it.
Or, in the words of Thomas Eleri: "If you're going to ship shrimp to Iowa, why bother with anything less than the best? That's why the small towns have the smartest people... if you're going out into the middle of nowhere, leave the dummies in the city!" ;-)
