Notice anything missing?

Thank you dear friends. . .I have been empowered.  I removed my stupid counter all together.  I am not going to measure my worth by a number! (Even if if was almost 6,000!)  I will measure my worth by all the wonderful people that enjoy reading my journal.

Well, I just came from Wal*Mart.  I really don't know what possesses me to go there.  I hate it.  Really I do.  If it weren't so darned convenient!  One stop shopping.  The worst part of it is, and pleeeeeeeeeeeeze don't anyone take this the wrong way, but living in a farming community, we are totally inundated with illegals, and their favorite evening hang-out is Wal*Mart.  Ugg, I hate to even read back over that because I don't dislike them individually (that sounds bad too, sorry). . .ummm what I'm trying so hard to say is, they seem to swarm Wal*Mart in large family groups of at least 10.  Babies are screaming, I am surrounded by Espanola, I feel like shouting "Does anybody speak english anymore!"  This sounds bad too, but our Wal*Mart is filthy dirty.  I am not blaming the hispanics, but the management is really dropping the ball!  I feel like driving the extra 10 miles to the Wal*Mart in the next town. . .but this one is so convenient.  OK, I'll shut up!  Sorry, I just had to share.  Don't hate me.

I understand what you are saying hon....and I didn't take wrong at all. Our Wal Mart is the same way! Not to be mean, but my daughter and I...if we need to go there at night...we hold on to each others arms....because they will come towards us! I don't understand why. Gosh...I feel so mean saying this. So sorry...but I understand what you mean. ;o)

i dont hate you and i work for WM, lol. We have illegals all around us too....so its ok to feel that they are everywhere, esp. if you see them everywhere. Its too bad the mgmt at that store sucks so badly and that you dont like going.
