It's PORK ROLL!!

JK, Tahiti.

It is too much. That's why I'm going to try and stay with the threads talking about mindless stuff for a while. I can't take anymore and need a diversion from the constant in-your-face from the media.

You going for the meet up this weekend?

I STG every day when I go out there's another store that has closed or is closing.

Today was Baja Fresh in Middletown and The Office (restaurant) in Keyport.

I predict the following will close many locations as well:

Home Depot
Bed, Bath & Beyond
SEARS!
Best Buys
Target

All of the big guns! I was in Sears the other day to buy a new TV... that had nothing in stock! The salesman said if was due to the fact that they are waiting on "new items". I wasn't buying it for a second! My guess, they are selling out their inventory and waiting to see what spring brings. By the way, we did get a bargain on the new TV ... I had no idea that HD could get any better... they should call it 3d... it's almost creepy - feels like the actors on the screen are sitting in your living room with you

Wiley,

You think Target?? Really?? I was there this past weekend and you would have thought it was Christmas. Everything in that little shopping area was just packed!! Took forever to move in traffic getting around the parking lot.
