I love that you call it Home Despot. An ex of mine called it that, and I've used the term ever since. It does fit. ;)

Home Despot and Office Despot!

My local Home Despot has real competition from a large Lowes that opened last year. The Lowes is better organized with the outdoor 'scape items (soil, stones, etc) and the HD is better organized with the tools and hardware.

I'll give HD this, though: Whoever runs the place clearly stresses that the staff need to be friendly to customers and proactive in offering help. (Not that the Lowes folks are slouches, but there don't seem to be as many employees around in general.)

The best thing is that both places don't bat an eyelash at a woman in the place. Very different from my earliest experiences with HD 20 years ago.

less than 10 seconds per hole!

Welcome to the shortest porn film ever.

That being said, you should resist the urge to turn your house into a swiss cheese. God made termites for that purpose. ;-)

I have shopped at Office Despot for years. Also Bed, Bath and Beyond Belief. And the local Family Fare grocery store is Family Failure.

What?

Also, you haven't lived until you've drill holes into a Suburban's frame to attach a Class III hitch. Or holes in a chromed front bumper to add driving and fog lamps.
