just ignore and let this one die

i'm sure that everyone who says that means it as a compliment.

yup. thank you. it was a temp combo pack of ails that subsided with a little time and a lot of distress....

now just everybody calm down. i never heard another shot, nor a siren. i dunno what it was about, i just knew to stay out of it.

remember the guy who sang "my name is michael, i've got a nickel, i've got a nickel shiny and new..."? well, he was my first/last vegas show. it was worth all the wierdness to see him, and also, a very superb trumpet player in his band got us in for free and also gave my hubby a free helicopter ride over the red rock canyon and all the magic that happens out in the open desert (cliffs included) . that was cool. pays to know people who know people in great places.

i'd think that dude needs something. then i'd quit thinking about it. afterall, i'd also be shopping there.[/QUOTE]
do you need another shovel? or are you quite done.

LMMFAOIASHKOW!!!!!

yeah, uhhh.. sorry about the heart thing. oops. =/

or bring a large bag with cat designs all over it into the texas station (prefilled with gallon sized baggies) and steal turkey and roast beef for lunch for the next whole week.... for $10 at any time of day/night.

okay, not that i did that or anything. *whistles innocently*

i <3 u.

more like intentionally gouge their own prices and even sell at a loss untill they drive out all of their competition. I live in an area where WM has advanced into the latter stages once they are the only show in town. They are not all that cheap anymore. Quite expensive on a few common things like soda and milk. And WM can only employ so many people. Alot of us "lower income people" are finding it difficult to afford what WM has become. Those low prices don't fall out of the sky. They externalize cost where they can, and just make up for it other ways or other places.

3.45?!? I thought breaking a 3.99 was good

Presumably you're not where I am, in San Diego. Young people I know tell me they could not live here on what you say you earn. Here's what our ultra-conservative local paper said about Wal Mart in 2004:

I read excerpts from that book!
Having partied when I should have studied, I personally have had a lot of low end jobs in my life. Although I managed to earn more than minimum wage I never earned enough to buy myself new furniture, let alone dream of buying a house on my own. Fortunately eventually I married someone who could earn a living wage and my parents were hard working thrifty folk who left us the family home.



Of course!
Well glad it's gone anyway.

I've probably seen too many Law and Order episodes.

Great story. My husband always says that there are areas around Las Vegas with a high spiritual energy. But in the city, weird. In a way that is kind of fun for a while but I get tired of it pretty quickly.



LMMFAOIASHKOW?
Well I did laugh pretty hard, too.

That was my best score out of several tries. My worst was over 4.5. As a self styled artist I like to think that this is the kind of thing I'm good at but it was harder than I would have thought to be really accurate.

I wonder how Brenda's doing. Hopefully snug in her warm bed, no more broken branches and no need to dig anything out of snow in the morning.

from the forecasts I've gotten here and the way she was describing her end, tree branches downing power lines is a widespread concern. She's prolly sipping coffe by candle light and fidgiting.

You are just like a member of the cannibal tribe who had a very upset stomach after dinner one day.

Pep (They ate someone who disagreed with them)

Good morning thread dwellers.

What'd I miss?

Important safety tip: When testing a new vehicle script for the first time, make sure you save a copy to inventory first. So when things go horribly wrong, you don't lose hours worth of work! /me runs in circles with his hair on fire.

Here, Jer, let me put that out for you.

*wraps Jer's head in a tight hug to extinguish the flames*

Er....can you breathe in there Jer?

/me pointedly stays out of the WM discussion

Morning all!

/me wonders if it is worth setting his hair on fire to persuade Honey to allow him to snuggle into her chest again.

Pep (On reconsideration, he will wait for someone else on the thread to set him alight)

I'm here, no worry. Things settled down in the evening. A ggod portion of the snow is gone in my neighborhood, but areas not far from here, at higher elevations wound up with 8 to 14 inches. No one can remember a snowstorm this early in the year in Jersey.

Vamp, you left out my favorite WM trick. Pressuring suppliers, especially small ones to lowere their prices to almost a loss, then making them sell to WM exclusively.

CCTV dropped a texture on me of a new pair of shoes.

Now, CC knows that I love him to death, but I am a fierce critic of shoes. I opened the texture and almost wept - they are that incredible. If you already shop his store, it's the shoes on the "Picks" picture.

I don't know if he has them ready to go out the door, but when he does, OMG, you've so got to get a pair!

Um, yes, I'm spamming the thread, but it's not for MY business....lol

Oh....I can breathe fine.

It's my heart that stopped.

Oh my...a little mouth to mouth should help that...

Yeah, that's how my 8wk old kitten looked this morning when I left for work....after the little twit woke me up at 3:30am.

She's lucky she's still living.

/me sits with a tub of frosting and a spoon and begins to catch up on the thread...



*hands Pep a lit match*

laffingmymfingarseoffinasurprisinglyhystericalkindofway!

she's like a really threatening fart - silent, but deadly.
