I have to pace myself with that water bottle or map out all my potty stops on Mapquest before I head out. That is after I have located my keys, sunglasses, and purse (they're never in the same place--ever!). Maybe I shoud just carry a man's wallet.

I love/hate that place. They are like the "UTILITY" companies. They have us and they know it. But I can take it a step further. Do you go to WW, then drive across town to get your bread because it's 10 cents cheaper than at WW? No, I don't do that, a friend does. I swear its not me. Nu uh. Would I lie? One of my Queenisms is that the amount of time you spend in Wal-mart's customer service line, will only be exceeded by the urgency and need you have for using the restroom. Which, by the way, is only a few feet away from the Customer Service! Coincidence? I think not. WALLY WORLD? I love/hate that place. They are like the “UTILITY” companies.

WalMart, oh yes, I was just there again today and it wasn't Friday. Might I add, there was still a long line at the customer service counter and I giggled! I go to WalMart to gather stories and I'm never disappointed. If I sat there all day (which I don't plan on doing in the near future), I could write a book or maybe two! Dotsie, I guess I'll have to check out the link, "High Cost of Low Price." Thanks for drawing my attention to it. Hugs, Connie Jan, Timothy, and Dotsie,

The crazy thing is that I saw the documentary and still shop there. I can't help it. I love a bargain. Plus, I figure the majority of those big warehouse stores do very similar to what Wal*Mart has been picked on for doing.

The only thing I miss is having time to just stand there observing all the other shoppers. That and I don't see as many church members out shopping as I did before. I may be spending more money, but I figure that I would rather pay a store to get me through the line more quickly and have that time to do other things.

MOVING UTILITIES is the worst part of the package. I'll never forget when I finally got a "real" person on the other end of the phone after finally hitting "operator." HINT: Sometimes that will speed things along or bring you back to "zero." Smile! When I heard a human voice, I started crying and squeaked, "Please tell me you're a "real" person!" The operator laughed and I cried. I was at the end of my tether (to put it mildly!). I'll pray, Suz! (Okay, back to packing my suitcase!). Oh Suz,

They give you a pass that let's you explore and even have lunch on the premises (they closely guard this sacred place--is it any wonder?!). What a tranquil resort...no televisions or other distractions, just serene beauty. It reminds me of that movie, "Somewhere in Time" with Christopher Reeves. As soon as my schedule slows down, we need to get caught up, okay? I'll even travel the turnpike (and you KNOW how much I LOVE the turnpike!). Hugs! Susan,

Hey Connie, I checked out your link... you're going to Mohonk Valley... beautiful, have you been? Jim and I went to Mohonk Mountain House for our tenth anniversary - stunning views of the Catskills. I don't know if this link will work but I'll give it try. This time of year should be beautiful with the trees! http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/1497658846080906783evcVIO Love ya Sis and will catch up with you later. Have a safe and fun trip to N.Y. You're in my thoughts and prayers:) Well, well, well, you and your “line” adventures!
