Those things have limits when you're looking for a parking space. I never went in the store because I loathe them and totally agree that their "low prices" cost far too much.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comment on my "W" post.Decorinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01500494592414546840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970021346591686361.post-72289225468924043312008-02-26T16:04:00.000-05:002008-02-26T16:04:00.000-05:00Hi there!

It's hard to remember that sometimes, especially if you live on a budget, but I think it's important to be reminded.

There is a theory that if the masses continue to shop at big box stores, eventually the smaller companies that employ all these people and manufacture products (that can't compete with the products from overseas) will be forced to close (because of the big box stores) - then the people don't have any jobs or money to shop at the big box stores - so the big box stores collapse and close. It is not until then that people begin to shop in a different way. Isn't this theory interesting? A little confussing at first to wrap your head around but...it could happen. It's like the fall of Rome.LIBERTY POST EDITORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06755358649295669904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970021346591686361.post-12060507234663552222008-02-17T22:43:00.000-05:002008-02-17T22:43:00.000-05:00Dear Vie: Agree wholeheartedly.

I like pretty things, useful things, things that last and bring me joy on a basis I label "often." You finding it for me is a boon I appreciate. Get up on the soap box more often! I like what you say and support it. P.S. Haven't done the meme yet but I will.
