That would be nice too....we have a regular Target, so why not a Super Target? Plus, it would be good fro Wal-Mart to have some more direct competition.....keeps prices lower.

Mine too. I can follow just about every innocuous statement anyone at work says with "That's what SHE said," and it usually gets a few chuckles. Working at a home improvement store makes it all the more fun. "Your wood is a little bit crooked" followed by "That's what she said!" "I have a blockage in my pipes!" works well too, as does "Where's your caulk?!"

ROFL!!! My husband was getting a kick out of that a couple weeks ago when I was caulking the bedroom trim....at least a couple of times I said "where's the caulk?" and got a chuckle out of him

Quaker Steak and Lube would be awesome!! I haven't had wings from there since college years ago.

I love Ikea! Someone on here doesn't like them? I love the cafe and the Lingonberry drink,yum!

It's not that I don't "like" Ikea, it's just that I've never been to one and can't fathom why buying furniture that you have to put together yourself would be "awesome." I can still remember when my father and I tried putting together the grill we bought at Lowe's a few years ago. Assembly doesn't exactly mesh well with our gene pool apparently! LOL!

I'm trying to figure that out myself. They have them in Ohio, New Jersey and New York. They somehow missed PA. Hello WC executives, we're here.
