Okay shopping for a house and I found new construction.
The name of the street is Wild Turkey Walk. I refuse to buy a house on Wild Turkey Walk. Another street is Squirrel Run. How does a person come up with these names? I want the job of naming streets in new subdivisions. Has anyone been shopping for houses, new or old, and refused to live on a silly named street?
In the past 6 months I have found that my local Giant Eagle has
significantly lowered their prices and beat Wal-Mart on enough that I have returned to Giant Eagle for my groceries. I stuck with Giant Eagle on the produce and deli meat anyway as the Wal-Mart stuff always looks old and beated up to me.
Buy local. The local stores pay taxes to support your city and state. (SM)
Using online and catalogues does nothing to promote the local economy. We complain about outsourcing and about the big companies gobbling up all the work so the jobs at local hospitals are gone, yet we do the same thing when we buy on ebay, catalog, and these web sites that may be located any place in the world as their primary business location.
I went local. Great local tech support, they know what I do and were able to set it up just for me
:)
Oh, I found it really creepy when you said you found the flowers not so skillfully arranged on your
steps, and from your own flower bed. That's what I was worried about, having gone thru some psycho kids myself with my pups. Someone's been in your yard and in your garden and at your door without your knowledge. Its just creepy to me, and I'd still be very, very careful. Especially valid sounded the other MTs warning you about potential fake molestation charges. You just NEVER know nowadays, and these people have already turned on you big time once. Luckily (though I don't believe in luck), you had it on film to save yourself and your puppy. You might not be that lucky next time, and the whole thing just sounds very unstable to me right now. I know you feel sorry for the little girl, but probably the only time I have ever made BAD decisions regarding my life is when I felt sorry for someone, particularly kids. My son even has an evil kid in his life, but one who has a million reasons for sympathy, and I was saying how we should "be bigger" than the situation and invite this kid over to play. Thankfully, I regained my sanity long enough to remember - ever time I have done something like that on a personal basis for someone just because I feel sorry for them AFTER horrible behavior, it has always been a disaster... Be kind, but you don't have to risk your family again. Be kind from a distance. Its sorry she went thru this horrible experience, but YOU didn't cause it, and its not really your problem. But it could be your problem if this kid acts out in your life. Know what I mean?
Shopping for me.

Try shopping around
There are a lot of lenders out there that will finance less than perfect credit. There is a lender who can probably give you a higher interest rate, then within the next couple years, get your credit score cleaned up (there are lots of tips on how to do that on the internet) and refinance to get a better rate as soon as you can get your score up. Be careful paying anything off that is on your credit report if it is getting ready to come off. That will leave it on there for a longer time. Get on the internet and read about your credit score and what you can do.
Sorry, that should be: No shopping FOR me, but....

shopping
Don't you always have that ONE gift that you have to search high and low for? Well, that's me today! An oriental rug (with particular colors of course!) for my brother's new house! Especially here in Texas where is it 68 degrees, it's hard to get in the spirit!
SUV shopping
We are going to start shopping for a used SUV, less than 20K, probably 2003 to 2005 depending on model. Leaning towards Ford or GM models, mid size, but right now open to most anything.
Can any of you who own SUVs comment on what you own and what you like/dislike about it? TIA :)
Shopping around...
Hi Everyone...I am new to this board and would like some advice from experienced MT's out there! I have been working for a company for the past three years and things aren't quite panning out to my satifaction lately. I'm thinking of applying for other jobs with more benefits. Here's my question - What do you guys do when you aren't happy with your present employment? Do you list your current employer on your resume? Okay....What I'm getting at is this >>>>Will my present employer be contacted for a reference check, etc. should I be considered for another job?
Any help would be appreciated...Thanks!
Shopping for my home.
Need some bargains that end of summer brings.
school shopping w/my 14 YOD
I think I'd rather be working!!!  this is me at the mall w/her!!! Looking at the same pair of jeans for the 100th time, trying to decide if she likes them!!!
shopping at Wal-Mart
Our Wal-Mart Superstore is supposed to be ready by October and it is only 20 blocks from my house. It has been open for about five years and now they are turning it into a superstore. Im ready. I know some of my political friends ask how could I shop there as they dont have benefits for their employees, LOLOLOL, heck, my trans company does not provide me with any benefits either..so, sure I feel the employees pain but I need to provide for my family and that comes first..I cant wait till Wal-Mart Superstore opens, then I can do my grocery and department store shopping all at once while my car is being serviced in their automotive area.
Thanks! I do most of my Christmas shopping
Love the fact that I can work and shop at the same time! And it's all delivered to me!
on-line shopping
Just curious about on-line shopping. What are the best on-line stores to shop in -- any opinions? I'm talking clothes for teenagers, accessories, books, DVDs, etc.
Internet shopping
I have to rank in the top ten of Internet shoppers. I have bought more at Amazon.com than most people buy at Wal-Mart. My credit card company sends an end-of-year statement that looks like a booklet! I have never had any problems with Amazon.com. I've bought, books, DVDs, videos, appliances, toys, furniture, you name it. I've never had a shipping problem, and if I had to return anything there were no problems. The only things I haven't bought at Amazon is clothes and perishable items. I have bought clothing and things from Eddie Bauer with no problems.... And then there's all those specialty shops! Bath and Body Works has finally gone to internet shopping! Anyway, you get the idea. Happy clicking!
No shopping but me, but did you see the lady with the wig?
NM :)
DH went out shopping later in day and said it was dead.

secret shopping
Have you found any shops that will pay you more than $10.00 or less? I haven't!
My husband usually does the shopping
I do remember from several years back that local grocery stores would not allow their employees to accept tips because they were paid at least minimum wage already. This seemed unusual to me as I grew up in a military household, and on base (Eglin A.F.B.), the baggers there worked for tips only.
mortgage shopping
Hi, this board is so helpful regarding so many different things, I thought I'd ask about my current dilema. Just sold my home in SE New Mexico, moving to Albuquerque. Obviously a site built home is the easiest one to get a mortgage for at low interest rates (I have excellent credit), but because of the cost I'm also looking at manufactured/mobile homes on their own land and in a park. This is just for me and my dog, so I don't need anything large anyway. Does anyone have any advice regarding buying a modular/mobile home as I have never owned one before? Thank you for any thoughts you might have regarding this.
Shopping for new carpet but not sure
I have 4 animals so it would have to be durable. My budget does not allow for anything but carpet and the one I have has had it.
Can anyone suggest an attractive yet durable carpet? I also wonder about the glue and will there be fumes?
Thank you for your time.
One Word - SHOPPING!!!!!
An when the weather permits - beachin' it!  Luvin' that IC status, or take a PTO day just for sanity to rejuv and get in a new groove!  Spring is here! Have some friends over, let your hair down...  You'll be surprised how great you feel! JMO. 
My best friend and I are going Christmas shopping....
I'm getting as many gifts as I can put on layaway this weekend. I am determined to finish early this year so I can enjoy the holiday. After shopping, we are going to dinner and mabye a movie. 
I met him walking around downtown shopping..sm
basically on the "street corner" waiting for the light to change to walk across the street. He just started talking to me...and now we are hitched.
Who had fun shopping on "Black Friday"? - I did - sm
but I go without a "toy" agenda (did my toy shopping Monday and Tuesday so I had everything I wanted already), just go to get my kids and husband clothes mainly at great prices and to have fun with the kids--continuing the "tradition" that I had with my mom. Got myself a 1 GB Verbatin "Store 'n Go" since my zip disks are dying, $40 (reg. price $90), another great deal! I bought my DH 4 good dress shirts normally $136, for $62, can't beat that. Kohl's was packed so unfortunately did not get anything there like I would have liked to, the line was halfway to the back of the store but Sears and Penney's were fine, stood in line for 10 minutes tops, can live with that. Well off to do some work now......luckily not too tired to bang out 40 minutes or so. Have a good weekend! 
Shopping - yes, making gifts - no
I still have pictures to frame and pillows to finish sewing and stuffing.
Absolutely not. I took today off so I can get my shopping done.
It's also been 50 degrees here with no snow and no money, so I'm not in the mood for Christmas. We've all got viral respiratory infections. I had maybe three hours of sleep last night. I have no idea what anybody wants or needs. Time to go spend my stash of gift cards and coupons on people. Next year, I'm going to do it right. Are you sorry you asked? ;D
I ment to say gift shopping. nm
Maybe you can contact the shopping channel. nm

I did secret shopping......made some money but it

Shopping tomorrow! Crest Whitestrips??
Any info? Do they work? I tried the Wal-Mart brand, no luck. Thinking of making an INVESTMENT IN MY SMILE! That sounds sooo exciting. Oh and what about that new enamel building toothpaste?
OOPS - meant 15 minutes FROM shopping.
nm
shopping, beachin' it?? who can afford to do those on our salaries, LOL!! nm

Are all those "hacker-free" shopping sites relatively safe? nm

I LOVE shopping for clothes at resale stores
I find fashionable, barely worn, name brand clothes. It really is fun!! I couldn't imagine paying for new clothes anymore!
It's a little harder to find good kids' clothes at the second hand stores, but I have found some really nice ones that are real bargains.
Pole (North): Have U finished ur Christmas shopping?
I'll start: NO!
I give once a day if shopping and don't bother explaining if I gave elsewhere. nm
nm
I think I found it, found multiple recipes with the same
exact ingredients so I figure this must be it.
Oops... meant search all, not sears all.... too much shopping last weekend!
nm
I hate shopping. I do mine on-line and avoid the annoying crowds.

I've been shopping around for some fingerless gloves to wear while typing. My hands get very SM
VERY when I'm typing, especially in the fall and winter months. I've tried the the carpal tunnel gloves an they just drive me nuts. I really just need something soft and warm so my hands stay warm. Any suggestions? I've been looking at the Wristies website and I've about decided to buy a pair, but I wanted to get some opinions. Anyone use Wristies? How do like them?
Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I have to take numerous breaks throughout the day to warm up my hands and it's really irritating.
Thanks!
Found it, Prolastin, also found
alpha-1
Working holidays? Out shopping in stores where someone IS working
that holiday you refuse to work? Grocery stores, food joints & seems any store is open on holidays and you expect them to be fully staffed, so why shouldn't we?
Yes, I took off for the first time on Christmas day, in 18 years and it was great, but I worked Christmas eve and this whole past weekend.
Someone has to do it!
local
I am in a small town in Florida and I had one set up by a local one person company, cost me about 500 and he gave me a 5 year parts and labor warranty, I had a minor problem with it, I took it to his store and was back home in an hour - didn't have to have it shipped to me, didn't have to wait for "rebates" and would do it again any time.
would the local
mental health center be able to help? (if a child psychiatrist is not affordable) Might Social Services have a referral, or a crisis hot line possibly have referral information?
I think this child probably either has been exposed to visual porn in some form or is mentally ill.
Pray for them all too.
I have a local ISP (sm)
I have a local ISP so unless you live in the State of Michigan I am afraid this won't be much help to you. :) Here is the link anyway, just in case. :)
