Why the world doesn't know about the most beautiful cold desert at the
top of the world in Ladakh, India?
Why the great tourism opportunity in Changthang, ladakh is not fully
exploited?
What is the secret?
Ladakh, a stunning region of Jammu and Kashmir in the lap of the
Himalayas and Karakorum range of mighty mountains in the north west is
an ethereal cold desert at an average height of 14,000 ft above the
sea level. A land of shooting stars, rugged landscape situated amidst
multiple hued mountains and surprised by little green hamlets.
Some where there is the world's highest Astronomical Observatory
"Hanle" close to China and Pakistan border. What's happening there?
Why this spectacular and a national achievement is not turned into a
tourist hotspot?

Funny how guys like Bill will whine over illegal immigrants but is happy
to buy cheap strawberries made possible only by their labour. I doubt
he'd be willing to bend over and pick in the hot sun for their wages.

Three dollars a a container, not a quart isn't cheap. They taste like
cardboard with citric acid sprayed on it and a scent of strawberry.
They seem to have an infinite shelf life because there is nothing
nutritionally in them that even bugs want. The berries are becoming more
machine harvester friendly.
We are becoming overcrowded and our real wages, which includes benefits
are being depressed and taxes rising.
Imagine the impact, on the price, of fuel, if the estimated 30,000,000
Illegal Aliens were sent home.
I am amazed how many of you jerks are prepared to surrender our Country
for your benefit. The dollar is taking a dive partially because of these
Illegals too.
It won't be long before the dollar is cheaper than toilet paper. When it
takes 100.00 a week to feed four and 200,00 a week for fuel thank
Illegal Aliens and their Trans nationalist champion George Bush. Don't
forget their buddies in Congress bribed by the National Restaurant
Association and the like.

Don't know where you're getting yours, but the ones I buy are(2) boxes for
about $2.99, last 3 days on the counter and 5 days in the fridge and thats
if I pick em over in the store to make sure none have mold already.
They taste pretty good to me, I rinse them off under the faucet, and I eat
10 or so every morning for breakfast.
I really don't care WHO picks em, its none of my business.

Anyone else who can't think of any reason other than illegal immigration
for rising prices and falling standards of living, here's your sign.

No one said it is the only reason. The Illegal Aliens are being invited
in to help facilitate lowering Americans' wealth to the lowest common
denominator for Globalism. They want to bring about their beloved global
level playing field. That's the new world order and America will be no
more. Global Big Business in partnership with our? government is
bringing about the demise of the Republic and our Constitution.
America will be just a name and our freedoms and rights eliminated to
what produces an efficient market. Trickle down, Free Trade etc are
jokes on American and our Republic that many still have not gotten.

Do you have to order online for their checks on can it
be done at any Walmart?

Or..can it be ordered online and delivered to a local
Walmart to save shipping?

If there is one thing that we enjoy it is getting something for free.
I've seen people get excited about getting useless junk without having
to pay for it. Yes in the land of the free we surely love getting
stuff for free. Game shows are built around these premises. Win cars,
home or cash without having to pay for it. We aspire to be apart of
such action. If we can't we spend time in front of the television
watching other people getting free stuff.

There are several factors though that has made free things available
to the masses. First is the fact that free is so powerful. When it
comes to marketing the most important word is free. It drives people
to its source. Because of this companies look to capitalize on the
opportunity. If they give a product of their own away for free they
attract attention.

Other companies use free stuff to their advantage. Take for instance
the vacation industry. You can take free vacations, get free park
attraction tickets or even get paid to vacation. The reason is so that
they can give you their 2-4 hour sales pitch. Be assured it will come.
They use this tactic every day. Why? It works for them.

So when it comes to free stuff the fact of the matter is everyone
comes out a winner. As the consumer we end up with something that we
didn't have to pay for. Companies benefit because by craftily giving
something away for free they end up benefiting their bottom line.

best freebies on the internet at http://mealticketonus.com

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
You'll pay in one way or another.

Keeping junk that you don't use costs. It takes up space that could
be used for useful items. I've seen homes that are filled with useless
junk. Homes that are almost worthless to the owners because the junk
has taken over. Owning that useless junk is actually very expensive.

The items people "win" in game shows are paid for by their performance
on TV. Most folks do not aspire to be part of such action. I honestly
don't know a lot of people that want to be on game shows or in front
of TV cameras.

While a lot of people may find game shows entertaining, there are a lot
more that don't. Watching TV also costs in time, missed life experiences
and opportunities. Doing anything is more useful than watching almost
any TV show.

Watching TV can also skew your perceptions of reality. Your idea that
people "aspire to be a part of such action" is an example. Only someone
who watches TV could come to believe that everyone wants to be on TV.

You pay for that vacation by subjecting yourself to 4 hours of high
pressure sales tactics. Sure, they stop short of physical torture but
they use every other trick in the book to get you to buy. I've also
found that with most of these "free" vacation things the "free" part
is very limited and it can end up costing a lot of money.

It's come to the point now that when someone asks me if I want something
for free, I ask them "How much does it cost?" Most of the time they'll
give me a number that isn't zero. They always fail to see the problem.

I find that a "little green machine" i bought years ago, along with my
celling fan does a nice job for the once in a while cleaning of
mattress'. But hes right, little water, make sure you suck up ALL the
water. I have a ruined feather topper that will attest to that.

If you put anything in them, do they fall off the wall? I'd build
shelves in the kitchen before I'd buy imported cabbinets each of which
had some little problem or other with them. Sounds like false
economy, typical of many consumers these days.
