And btw, some of the nicest people I have met here are Walmartians.

RogersChick, where in South Florida are you from? I lived in Miami until 2006 when I moved to Rogers and lived there for the a year and a half before moving to Bentonville. What brought you to NW Arkansas?

I love it here and think this thread should be removed. Its way off base and shouldnt even be acknowledged.

Walmart has put alot of people out of business. My wife and I used to make a middle class income, but they put 2 super walmarts in our town and business got so slow, they cut my wifes hours in half (no benifits anymore), and my job stopped paying commission just to keep up.
Ill tell you, nothing wrong with walmart folks, but you when you have non commissioned staff, they usually don't give a crap if you buy it or not. commissioned staff study product like a craft. Commissioned people stir you away from stuff you will bring back because they take the hit. Try asking a walmart employee about how the cashe of your computer effects you. ********* walmart for paying your people so little and screwing the rest of the industry.

MODERATOR: Folks, there's another thread or thirteen running on Wal Mart. This particular thread was started 8 months ago by a nonmember and has been a place to condemn or defend Arkansas. Every thread cannot be about Wal Mart and the impact on the state or individuals. This thread is about quality of life...thanks...

yeah your right, you should delete my comment, it has nothing to do with likeing NWA. Sorry about that. Hey I don't live in your state, but I sure love it to death. Looking forward to the day when I retire there and start talking trash about all the californians moving in (like me).

We've been here for a little less than a month and love everything. The only negative is the chiggers who have feasted on poor hubby.

This weekend our daughter and son in law from Dallas came up to help me with our annual canning and preserving venture. They just love it here, so much, when our daughter has her annual review with her company, in the very near future she may ask to totally tela-commute. Right now she works from home 2 days a week anyway as does her husband who works for the same company. She says, because of the economy she may not see another promotion before she is elegible for retirement. If that is the case, then living here will make the next 5 to 10 years much easier for her. I want to see her get another promotion, but would sure love to have them close. They pretty much convinced us to come here. Last year we were considering a couple of other places in AR as well as OK. They fell in love with BV and the rest is history.
