speaking of no activity....

Well, not CONSUMER activity, at least.

How is your new job coming along?

The entire concept of waiting on a line to pay hard earned money for a product that the seller wants to unload seems inane to me.

Recently, I walked out of Waldbaums and left my six items for the manager (when he comes in the next morning) because they were down to 1 cashier at 8:00 p.m.

Everybody should speak with their feet...........these establishments would provide suitable staffing or they'd fail. Just look at HomeDepot..........still dropping sales due to insufficient staff.

Yeah, Brian. I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!

It's coming along very nicely, Mistress. Thanks for asking.

Our Stop and Shop supermarket already has the Christmas aisle set up. It's insane.

I can't stand this, time of year. I go Christmass shopping the day before get a few things and call it good.

Everyone runs up their credit cards buying useless crap, for people who don't want it or need it.

I wont be happy until you guys buy me a brand new S-Class. Come on, do it for the children. Leave no Bot behind.

Christmas is for family, eating, drinking and slowing down for a few days, I have no idea why people continue with the vicious cycle. I have fun shopping for the kids and Mrs. Howie will agree I know what to buy due to the fact that my kids still use and love the "big" gifts of Christmas past but everyone else can feel blessed if i decide to call them on Christmas.

Christmas should be given back to the kids..

Are you one of Jerry's kids?
