missed by those who only focus on low prices and fail to notice the impact Wal-Mart has on its neighborhoods, the environment in general, its suppliers, the economy, etc.
Someone above posted a good link which explains the "big whoop."
I wish more people educated themselves before deciding whether or not to shop there. For me, it's not enough to simply have the lowest price.

I am a Libertarian and pretty fanatical about "Big Government"
This whole thing is a tempest in a teapot. The government ALREADY HAS this information. WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL??
Generally never, but I am tiny -- sm
AA and A - only sag a little on the A side. Much more comfortable without, but do wear one when necessary (i.e. white shirt, dress, etc.)
We like to go mid-July generally - sm
that way it is not right after they got out of school and it breaks up the summer. I also take them on my own up to my dad's for a few days at the end of June and again in August; going again up there last week in August as I am too busy to go earlier.
I think your view does not generally match
up with most.. She looks like a real gold-digger to me. What about others out there?
Steroids generally do not work for
FMS type pain as it is not inflammatory. In fact, steroids made me WAY worse! I'm sure everyone does not have the reaction of making them way worse, but most people with actual FMS do not get relief from steroids. Botox is said to help, although I refuse it because it's not only expensive but is poison (something about that just gets me, LOL).
Narcotics can be wonderful and give you your life back if you have constant pain that doesn't go up and down (as far as the time-released meds go). I was on OxyContin at one time, but I had bad side effects to it, severe drenching sweats and it really didn't do much for my pain as I couldn't raise the dose enough to do much. I have been on multiple different narcotics until I found the right one. I have tried methadone, OxyContin, Kadian, and now I am on a fentanyl patch with breakthrough oxycodone (which for some reason doesn't have the same side effects as the OxyContin did, probably because it's not time released). At any rate, it took a while to find the right drug, but the Fentanyl has been the best fit for me.
It just takes time to find the right med and then the right dose of that med, but hang in there. If one doesn't work, there are a lot of more that can be tried. I will say this, not a single one of the meds that I tried gave made me too tired or "out of it." You don't get a high feeling from it or way too fatigued as long as you do have severe pain. It just takes some of the pain away. In fact, I feel LESS fatigue on the medications since just being in constant pain is exhausting. Once some of the pain is taken away, you will not believe the difference.
Good luck to you and anyone else suffering with chronic pain. Although they can't take it all away, they can make your quality of life much better! I have been on long-term opioid therapy for a long time and have suffered with chronic pain since I was around 20 at least. Feel free to post again or e-mail me if you have any questions. 
we generally give $4, my DH usually tips 20% - sm
everywhere we go, also for pickup orders as well which I am sure most people don't do but should do something (I do 10-15% when I pick it up, depends on the place).
I don't feed sea gulls. It's generally a bad idea.
It's not a good idea to interfere with the feeding habits of any wild animal, and they are wild. They may be very accustomed to having human food, but it's still not right to feed them. The birds do become accustomed to humans as their source of food, and that will encourage them to fly too close to humans. Then, they'll become a nuisance. Do check for signs or other information in the area about feeding the wildlife. I know that in my area, more and more signs are being posted.
That being said, it's also not right for someone to use such language, especially in front of children, or for anyone to throw sand at you. So, I think the other woman's reaction was out of line.
Next time you go to the beach, bring sand toys and leave the bird food at home.
I sort of agree, but generally those kind of men don't

Trolls like this generally are very unhappy people.......... sm
the problem is they don't realize it. She obviously does need people in her life, as evidenced by her posting on this board.
