It's time for a little deep breathing, my friend.

It's the end of the world because they're building a new shopping center on top of an old shopping center!

And it's the fault of those far right assholes that my tools are falling apart! I've got news for you.

Damn, rightwingers and corporatists have no shame, none at all. And shame on the commissioners too.

I used to remember when hedge clippers would last for 30 years.

Well said and begs the question: Who is holding the shotgun?

Please don't take offense, but it is becoming increasingly apparent in this thread that you really don't know what I mean by quality tools.

Well, Wal-Mart is cheap at least until they drive most, if not all, of the other existing retailers in an area out of business at which time Wal-Mart becomes an example of the perfect SHOTGUN marriage.

In this case, the "broke" market that Wal-Mart is attempting to corner by locating a store in the aging Suburban Plaza is the market that is anchored by tens-of-thousands of 'income-impaired' students at Emory University, which is only a couple-of-miles to the west out North Decatur Road.

It is a very-well established pattern that Wal-Mart loves to open stores within a couple-of-miles of a growing campus of a college or university because college students are one of the most loyal 'constituencies' of shopper that a company that bills itself as having really low prices and carrying almost everything under-the-sun can have.

And I don't know what you mean by no quality tools.

If you really understood my 11:46 pm post above you might understand how your remark gives it validity.

I will say this, my unimaginative boring HD hammer does what it is intended to do, I am not as confident in my Government hammer.

You either totally misread my comment or deliberately twisted my words.

Somebody's been absorbed here, but it ain't me.

Do you really think that soon we will only be able to get hammers at Walmart or online? That's bonkers.

Good luck with that. As I am sure you know the Ace is on its last leg due to competition from the big boxes and the quality at Lowes is going down hill, as is Home Depot.

Exactly why it is worth saying in context of the post, my friend.

Effective analogies are the ones most obvious.

Thematically, no. You have been absorbed, but do not even realize it.

Now THAT'S profound.

I don't "kowtow" to Walmart, I pretty much ignore it.
