    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    Yea, Wick...very sad. Ha!

    I'm not a big shopper (except Ann Taylor ) but what concerns me is the domino affect and the number of layoffs that will occur.

    Years ago when I was in the commercial real estate world, I remember discussing the fact that the U.S. was over saturated with retail square footage... This was 1999... Frankly, I'm surprised it took this long. There is absolutely no reason why you should be able to stand in one Walmart parking lot and throw a rock at the Walmart across the street.

    Man, I can't stand Walmart. I don't like the parking lot of Walmart, I don't like the perimeter of the parking lot of Walmart, or any of the streets lining the perimeter of the parking lot of the Walmart.

    But, c'mon?! Why people gotta be messin' with my Annie Taylor?

    Wal Mart sucks everything I bought from them broke on me. So I haven't shopped there in a long time. I don't even buy ammo there anymore since it costs way to much.

    Wait a tick.. I think I bought oil there a while back. But I bet you it was just water in a oil jug.
