Update on my dad. The new job is going a bit more smoothly, but he's still really nervous. He hasn't learned how to drive the forklift yet, and it's driving him crazy. He goes to work every day on pins and needles, and ( Read more... )

Walmart is evil. I haven't spent but a few dollars there in over six months.

Yeah. Im not going there anymore unless it's like life or death... Which I doubt will happen.

I've been boycotting Walmart for about the last year or so, for all kinds of reasons. As far as I and my dad are concerned, they're more evil than Hitler.

Y'know, I fancy myself a writer, but I don't do a hell of a lot of writing. I got totally burned out from my story thanks to Nanowrimo, and all I've been writing lately is stories about my roleplaying character. I'm very disappointed with myself; I even created a writing LJ to try to motivate myself.

Yeah. I didnt know they were THIS bad. I doubt I'll be going there anymore, unless it's like life or death.

Good!

The more people realize just how crooked Walmart is, the less their business model works for them. I call it "voting with your feet".

The yogurt with the lids for breast cancer bothers me because if you look at the ad it says they'll only donate up to a certain amount of money, so they should just donate the full amount of money they're willing to donate.

Wow. I just read that. That's dumb. I agree, why not just donate the limit they're willing to donate. Hmmm.

Most likely to still retain their "bottom line." :oP

They presented the Wal*Mart documentary at my school, but for whatever reason I wasn't able to see it that day. I do want to read it. Another interesting source of information is http://walmartwatch.com/

Forks are just another extension of your body for a fork operator. Your dad'll get it in no time.
