When the K-Mart near my residence closed a few years ago everything went out the door, and I mean everything: the store merchandise and all the display racks and other things use to display the merchandise. I went in this store a few days before it permanently shut down: it was utter chaos, people everywhere, snapping up items that were commonly discounted at anywhere from 75-90% off. I picked up some socks, underwear, and a pair of discounted work boots. I ran into a guy carrying out a 20" TV who said he bought it for only $30!

Hehehehe...great list and I know what you mean, these furballs just manage to win your love, thankfully, before all their horrid habits would most likely having you hating them! Some of HB's more unloving moments: -Climbing into the dash of my brother's van and forcing us to plead, beg and fight for an hour or more to get him out, finally forcing us to take the dash apart! -Freaking out while I was holding him and slashing my face, leaving me to look like I;d been in some barroom brawl! -Vomiting on carpet, when there is tile which would be so much easier to clean! -Dashing from his litter box and leaving a trail of litter all over the floor as well as sometimes escaping before he's sure he's done and taking a hunk of his poop with him and me always the lucky one to find it on the floor! -Digging, digging and digging in his litter box, until he's peeing on the plastic and leaving a lovely oder and forcing ME to completely clean out the box. In spite of all that and so many more horrible habits of his.....I adore this cat and that's definitely a first for me, as I was never a cat-person and may never be again. Be thankful for that, Heiney Butt! Mr Green |

Nice deal! It was kind of like that, last year, when the Sam Goody about 30 minutes from here, was closing. Carol and I began picking up items, slowly at first, then went into a kind of feeding frenzy, especially when DVDs and DVD boxsets were 50% off and more. We also purchased two large shelving units, which house the majority of my collection.....wish we'd had room for about 4 or 5, but not possible. Going out of buisness sales can be a wonderful thing or a very scary thing, but the Sam Goody closing wasn't too bad, people behaved quite well, actually. |

lol Ever "found" some of his poop by stepping in it first?
My cat, "The Hammer", has a similar habit, in that in trying to cover his excrement in his litter box after answering the call of nature, he often succeeds in covering parts of the surrounding floor with kitty litter as well. beating the admin |

Indeed. I wish I had been able to get inside Tower Records just once before it closed-imagine the discounted merchandise I might have been able to get.

As mentioned, the thought of a constant pain in my foot or toe really makes me sympathize with you and your fellow sufferers of gout. I guess if it came down to it and we could identify a specific cause of these 24/7/365 headaches of mine and it wasn't arthritis in my jaw, but something I could avoid eating or drinking, I;d hope that I could make the right decision and keep clear of the offending food/drink, too. |

In April, it will be one year since the Sam Goody store about 30 minutes from here, closed and you know, whenever we go to the plaza where Sam Goody was, I still get sad. :( They've never taken down the sign to the store and it stis empty and I think that's so sad.....we don't have any store, locally, that caters to music or film fans, now. thumbs down |

Unfortuantely, every arhtritis medication they have prescribed in an effort to alleviate the pain, I've had mild to slightly severe reactions to, having them feel I am allergic to the meds. Most have included muscle spasms and such, but a few of the meds have had me experience some slight breathing issues and that terrifies me. So, at the moment, it's simply a prescribed pain medication that isn't a full narcotic and unfortunately, it doesn't help. Full narcotic pain meds tens to bother my stomach, so I'm kind of between a rock and a hard place with the pain.

Yes, it really does. I love receiving packages of DVDs and such in the mail, but I also have this love of going into a retail store and coming home with an armful of DVDs and that rarely happens, these days, unless we head to Borders which is a good hour or slightly more, from home. :( |

I've even been asked by a client to remove dog poop from their property. Ordinarily I would decline such a request, but in this case I made an exception because the clients, in this case, a husband and wife, were undergoing a medical crisis(he had cancer) while still paying our company for our services. |

One Wal*Mart is about 20-30 minutes away and the next nearest is about 45 minutes away. There's a Super Wal*Mart about an hour in one direction and about an hour and fifteen/twenty minutes in another direction. K-Mart is about 30 minutes away. Best Buy is an hour away in one direction and an hour and a quarter in another direction. Borders is about an hour away and the same for a Barnes & Noble that carries a nice selection of DVDs |

Unfortunately, we haven't seemed to come across anything, alternative-wise, that has helped. My Dad helped a friend of his, who owned a natural food s that also carried alternative/natural meds and he purchased a few different items to try and help with the headache pain, but sadly, nothing helped. Dad said he is very resistent to most meds and he said I must have inherited his bad luck in that department. Dad said he won't even take OTC pills for headaches, as nothing helps him. :( |

Yes, it certainly appears to be the case. My Dr won't prescribe narcotic pain pills, as he feels I have enough problems, health-wise and he said he doesn't want to see me become addcited to pain killers. :( |
