I feel so sorry for these workers in these department stores who must listen to that Christmas music for 5-6 weeks. I went to Wal-Mart last night, and stocked up, so I don't have to return there until after Christmas.

Gift shopping? Never! I only give $ for gifts! Let them do the shopping as I detest shopping!

When I shop, I binge shop, and only at Savers or other thrift stores. Never anything new. 7 years ago I needed shoes, so, I went to Savers and bought 10 pairs of named-brand shoes and sandals, lots of pants, shirts, underwear, and even socks, so I don't have to shop for another 7+ years!

If you met me on the street, somewhere, you'd probably compliment me on what I'm wearing, not knowing I never buy anything new! I've got other priorites with my hard-earned $. Traveling? Now there I'll spend $ like a drunken sailor!

I can see buying used shoes and maybe even socks but I'll spend the extra buck and buy non-used underwear.

The most cruel music in a shop I ever heard was in FAO Swartz in NYC a few years ago.
My wife and I went in to this music - welcome to our world, welcome to our world, welcome
to our world of toys - on a continuous loop. It never stopped all the time we were in there.
That to me is tortuous for the people working there. I could'nt have put up with that, it
would have drove me nuts.

I don't understand that fetish in the least bit. Guys willing to pay thousands for a pair of used panties.

Davie, I am so sorry to hear that. You are much too young to lose your father, just as I was.

In other news, my girlfriend in Phoenix told me she misses me and would like me to come back. I miss her too. I have not seen her since June of 2008. I think it is time....

Glad you had a good holiday. Maybe it IS time to come back to Phx.
