Thrift Stores

In a world where so many things are nonsensical, it's wonderful to experience the thrill of going to the thrift store. One can get just about anything needed at low, low (I mean LOW) bargain basement prices!!!!!

A thrift store makes PERFECT SENSE.

Being a rebel at heart and getting an opportunity to stick it to the man (the man, being large corporate stores) really sits well with me LOL. I mean, think about it .... these corporate entities do not want to pay us what we are really worth and on top of all that, they are pushing pay downwards. WOW, suggesting that minimum wage be raised is like the song suggests ... "spitting in the wind".

Well, here YOU go ... worker replacement with robots corporate folks. We the people and our little wad of cash, go a thrift store shopping and beat the system!!!



Nothing is more easily procured than clothing at the many thrift stores around. My wife (a shrewd shopper) can find all the major labels folks who like clothes desire.

Who does not get EXCITED about saving CASH??? Thrift stores will stoke those flames of excitement.

An incredibly wonderful outcome from all this thrift store shopping is the proceeds from each excursion are given by the stores to those folks that truly need help. Thank you Savers, Goodwill etc.

In my book, a WIN WIN outcome we ALL can live with.

Net vs Brick-and-Mortar

A market battle is raging NOW between brick-and-mortar stores (Walmart) & the net (Amazon). I suppose the perception is such that an internet store can do it better, have a broader selection & be more responsive to the needs of the consumer. It’s possible that the internet store is more convenient & easier to use. Plus, maybe less expensive. The struggle for the internet store is that they have to figure out how to get the product to the end user …. the “last mile” they would say. Shipping costs can be significant. I recall not too long ago, planning on purchasing a product, where it was being offered something like this … “Buy 1, Get 2nd FREE”, the only thing needed to pay on the second one was shipping & handling. The free turned out not to be so free, therefore I couldn’t even buy the first one because of the shipping/handling cost. The collection of sales taxes used to be a big deal, but that is quickly disappearing as an issue & the playi...

We REALLY Ought to Talk With Each Other

more than we do. It is hoped that we at least have heart to heart conversations with those close @ hand, but even then all kinds of emotional feelings stand in the way of truly communicating … thus very little progress is made in understanding the struggles & needs of another. Coincidentally, I was made aware of the plight of a family in our community. I have been so caught up in my own struggles that I hadn’t even bothered to give thought to others that may be going through similar stresses. As of late, ALL I have been able to focus on has been my problems, my concerns & my needs. SO, WE should TALK more (with everyone) ... & perhaps WE should LISTEN & Truly Care , but WHAT THEN??? Actually, I don’t really know “WHAT THEN?” I will say this. As result of the above knowledge, I don’t feel so alone … I don’t feel so desperate & above all else I am not quite as focused on me me me. Who knows how this will effect my actions tomorrow, BUT … I’m sensing tha...

Hopefully Roseanne Barr is Feeling the Pain

Racial Prejudice ... is alive & well. Unfortunately ... a significant portion our educational effort focusing on the elimination of the US's racial divide appears to be falling short of its goal. It's a little hard to stomach comments made by rather visible television personalities who most certainly express their hatred of those who are different based upon skin color, etc. These visible personalities have scored big in life's financial lottery, yet they offer nothing more to society in the form of behavior that uplifts us. They in fact tear us down and bury us deeper into the morass of hatred and shame. I am thankful for the fact that ABC canceled Roseanne Barr's show. By doing so, the network is vividly telling the citizens of our country, this kind of behavior and thought is not acceptable. They are telling us that personalities expressing themselves this way are NOT any longer to be tolerated. Reprisals will be swift, clear and permanent. Even in my s...
