She's already lost to "McDumbShit". That's what we're discussing.

My son and daughter-in-law work retail. They're nuts!

I wish I could remember his name. I remember the store manager's name
-- Owen Day. There was a slogan: "Sears Days are Day's days, so let's
get goin' with Owen." We had to say it in unison.

No, I'm frugal. Bruno's a woodworker. Or maybe it's Fernando... Did I
tell you about my $5 skis+boots? The original jerk posted into several
unrelated newsgroups. As we all know from experience, some bait is
irresistible...

Hmm, I thought they all drove big Cadillacs with leopard skin
upholstery.

I used to go to a theatrical ticket agent and would depart thinking,
what a job!!
a. customer either takes or leaves it, (picked seat from a chart.)
b. no quibbling on price.
c. stock can be housed in a couple of shoeboxes, at least at the
time....
d. no returns.
e. low overhead
f. miniscule - store was about 15 square feet.
f. one person operation.
g. able to refuse telephone orders or 'put it on hold - I'll be right
down".

Not sure what his cut was, but I bet he slept well at night.

My second choice would be perfume shop - for a lot of the above
reasons.

I am just an average mom who fell for a lot of scams but, in the
process I was able to find some really great oppritunities that have
helped me gain financial freedom.

I really had to work though. No one is gonna give you money for no
work! So I put in 3-4hrs a day and within 1 month I had my first
check!

Every month after that the more work I put in the bigger my checks
got!!! My family just went on our first trip to Disney 2 weeks ago!! 1
year ago I would have never imagined to be where I am today!!

I really hope this information is useful. Hopefully I can help someone
like me!!

Women's health & Weight loss Knowledge is the CRITICAL factor that
separates healthy, fit, attractive women from average women struggling
to stay healthy.

The purpose of the extensive women's health and weight loss
information you'll find here is to teach you not only how to identify
women's health, weight loss and nutrition problems but, how to fix
them as well.

Trader Joes and the like will be out of business in 1 year maybe less
due to high energy prices.
Gas in my neck of the woods is over 4.19 p/g. and climbing.
On stagnant wages you DO NOT shop at a Trader Joes.
One or two stores may linger on in a wealthy area.
At 4.99 P/G for gas the United States slips into a depression.
