OT Been shopping

The circumstances of a leaking hot water tank forced me into actually going out and shopping at brick and morter stores for presents this year.

I am returned from my ordeal.

Questions:

1) Why do clerks at other stores think that Hot Topic sells CDs? 2) Why is it so easy to find second rate sewing tools, and so hard to find first rate ones? 3) Has no one taught the Japanese that doing a simple google search on a potential band name might be a good idea before adopting it? 4) Who the hell is designing clothes for K-Mart and Wal-Mart? 5) Do you think thermite is enough to stop the evil of whomever is designing clothes for K-Mart and Wal-Mart, or would something with more fragmentation and less heat be the superior choice?

Observations:

1) Mall bad. 2) No toystore! 3) Pretzal good. Salty. 4) f.y.e. overpriced. 5) Scary churchladies in bookstore. *shudder*

NightMist got bodychecked and stomped on by a little old lady trying to get the last Baby Einstein interactive purple octopus. I got the last Fisher-Price interactive singing dog instead.

I agree with you that the people who design/make clothes for K-Mart and Wal-Mart have no idea of what they are doing. I certainly do not care to buy tops that make me look like I am preggie----not ever, especially since I am 63!!!! I also agree on everything you said! Glad to know I am not the only one who gets disgusted when I am trying to shop! Barbara in FL

Well. Now. I have 'been shopping' too. If any of you are looking for a man, I found them. They were all over in the Craftsman tool department at Sears. There's lots of clothing available at 90% off - but appropriate if you're ... well. Never mind. Gross. It won't surprise me if they have to pay someone to carry that stuff off and burn it. I only had to threaten to take DH out to the car and switch his backside one time. He was fairly well-behaved for a card-carrying professional people watcher. There was lots to watch. Polly

Oh my yes I did. There's lots of guys in our family and I always haul away good stuff from the tool department for them. None of those sissy silk socks and terrible ties from me, mercy no. I bought clamps - many kinds, even some that will not only hold 'together' for you but found one kind that will push away. And (!) cotter pin pullers. You just never know when you'll need to pull a cotter pin. ( I actually know what a cotter pin is and how frustrating some of them can be to remove.) Polly

"Roberta" < wrote> So did you actually buy anything, or was it just for the aerobic

Oh, I just started laughing, picturing our dear Miss Polly in the Sears tool section, and imagining some of the comments that might issue forth from her mouth, bypassing the PC censors. Guys dropping things on their toes [clad in steel-toed workboots no doubt] as they do a doubletake, not believing what they think they heard from the very innocent-looking lady standing next to them. She smiles sweetly and grabs the Craftsman tool they were just reaching for, then tosses a "gotcha!' over her shoulder as she scurries off to the cashiers.......

I've been looking at the automatic adjusting wrench, myself. Also need a new level indicator. Hmm, a trip to Sears today? It is unfortunately within walking distance to me.
