I tried to talk my daughter into the U of Minn., but she's decided to go to Creighton here in Omaha instead so I guess it's Go Jays! Where do you live now?

Mall of America
Any one been to Mall of America in Minnesota, my DH wants to go and not sure what to expect?
Mall of America
Yep, I've been there more times than I'd like to admit. My teenage daughter absolutely loves it! Very big, lots of walking, but it's 4 levels and each "corner" is anchored by a department store. Has Camp Snoopy, an amusement park, in the middle and lots of food courts scattered throughout. Also has restaurants and movie theater on the fourth floor. Any other questions?

Are you from Minnesota? I'm originally from Rochester, but have lived away (all over the country) for the past 27 years. ButI'm moving back this summer. Watch out Mall of America!

There's a new Ikea store right across from the mall. By the way, if you get there early enough, you can find parking in one of the garages which are right across the street and connected by sky-ways (free parking). They also have lockers you can rent in case your purchases get too heavy to carry! Have fun and happy shopping!
Yesterday I was at the mall and a
guy was walking along talking to a young girl. He rounded the corner and I was coming toward them. He stopped his conversation with her and said loudly to me,
You're pretty . . then went back to his conversation with her! LOL! She did not seem upset at all. Her brother? a friend?
Question. . jerk or just a darn nice guy? LOL 
haggling at the mall?

and avoid the mall
the snobs will not be reformed.
avoid the mall? Was that a
swine flu post?
DH and I were just told to leave mall. SM
It isn't really a mall. Just new shopping area that opened up nearby. Some stores are opened, some are not. It was 9:30 and we were coming out of the Lohmans, when security guard approached us. We thought he was just being friendly, but he told us to leave! It isn't an indoor mall, it's an outdoor mall, on a public street.
Maybe because of our age? I'm 60 and he is 56. LOL! We must have looked like ruffians or something. You know how us middle-aged folks like to hang out and cause trouble.
Held the door for a gal at the mall some weeks ago and
she just proceeded to walk through it and past me without a thank you. I muttered QUIETLY under my breath . . your're welcome.
We walked out into the parking lot and she turned around and said so nicely .
I am so sorry. That was rude of me. I should have thanked you. I immediately said, oh, that's okay. . no problem. She said again, No, I really am sorry. I don't blame you for being offended.
Wow! be careful what ya say!
Why is it when we WANT to be heard we aren't? lol 
Country. Mall or online shopping?

Yesterday at the mall I was talking with a friend SM
I met who works there. A group of young girls about high school age came up to me and asked if I would take a picture of them together. I noticed she had such a beautiful accent. I was about to take the picture and she told me to be sure to get the American flag that hangs from the ceiling in the picture as well. They were thrilled to be in America. We asked them where they were from and they said they were from Russia. They were beautiful, polite girls who were smiling from ear to ear. It was a nice moment and I wanted to share it with you. 
Where in Northern NJ? Past Rockaway Mall?
no msg
Hi elonmt. Yes, past the Rockaway Mall
going west towards PA. Live off of Route 80. My power went out at 12:30 as well as cable. Power came back on at 3 a.m. this morning, 29th and cable back on at 10 this morning. Man o Man. It has been crazy here. We had about 5 inches. Trees were falling, power lines down, roads closed. If felt like a January blizzard when I was out shoveling. Yes, I had to do it, but it was very heavy. I could not even have a cup of hot chocolate when I was done. We had to go out to eat also, but I was not complaining. Sleep with sweatshirt on with a hood and many, many blankets. Glad it is over. Can't wait until we get into winter. LOL
Yesterday on my break at our local mall when I
was leaving and at the door two young men about mid 20s approached me and asked directions to our county hospital and nursing home. Then they told me they had to walk because of no transportation, and that they just walked across town from a motel and were tired. After I gave the directions again one of them asked if I drive. He saw me just prior to that getting my car keys out. I told him yes. He asked if I would drive them to their destination. I told them I had to be back to work very soon, which I did. They could have been on the level, and I could have been on the new last night had I allowed both of them in my car. I felt bad when I left, thinking that I could have helped someone. What would you have done? Some years ago one night I was forced into my car by a male who followed me out to my car. That will stick with me forever. I have never been the same. Please reply. Right now I am thinking of the verse in the Bible that says something like Be aware that you may be in the presence of an angel. Did I let these angels down? Please help.
People who let their children wander in the store or mall-
one with no one around" and I dont mean that in a perverted way. Just scares me to death that these parents dont pay attention to these small children. I once sat on a bench at the mall and watched a mother walk 20 feet or so in front of a toddler, for about the distance of 3 or 4 store, not once looking back. I was disturbed by that a little. Granted, I live in what one would consider a small town, but there are creeps here too Im sure.
I'd recommend going to a local mall on a weekend and watch....sm
to see how teenage boys are currently dressing, how their hair looks, etc. Once you get ideas of what is currently "hip" then you can search for bargains for the clothes. You can dress your son without it costing a fortune by looking for bargains, searching eBay, going to thrift stores, etc.
Have fun with this!
The JCP in our local mall opens at 4 a.m. on Friday! Craziness!!! nm

Can i add my 2 cents worth? In a mall I saw this young woman (sm)
wearing a black plastic garbage bag! She had on black tights, a black turtleneck and the garbage bag with a hole cut out for her head and arms. She had it cinched up around her waist with a really wide black belt!!
Donations for victims of Omaha mall shootings
Hi all you fellow MTs,
I live in the Omaha area where the recent mall shootings took place. It has been a devastating incident, as you might imagine. One of my friends went to the mall that day and instead of going to Von Maur first as she normally would, she decided to start her shopping at a different store. She would have been right in the area of the shooting.
Most of those killed or wounded were Von Maur employees. I work in a trauma center and we still have one of the victims there.
If anyone would like to make a donation to the victims' fund, the best way would be to go to the wowt.com web site and click on "how to help" on the left-hand side of the home page.
Thanks to all. Keep the families in your prayers, please.

Imagine that day at your local mall. Then just imagine. LOL Why that day are you going? Crazy.
