ET TU, Walmart?

Hmmm.  Walmart ditches American jobs for overseas labor where employees/slaves are locked in for lousy pay and conditions.  Walmart forces small businesses OUT of business to minimize paperwork and deal with only large suppliers.  Shortcuts are taken in food that jeopardize the health of millions.  Many other yet undiscovered ways of increasing the Walmart family fortunes at the suffering of others continue, yet they immediately judge Paula Deen for a not so nice incident, yet super minor when compared to the deeds of Walmart.  Same for all the retailers who immediately cut ties while they continue to lie, cheat and steal until they themselves get caught and then proclaim innocence.  Is ANYONE watching what is happening in this once proud country???

I Never Met Margie...

...but I HAVE met Pat! She and her hubby live at one end of the street where once I neighbored. Their property is on the south side of the cul de sac, with a small wetland on the eastern point. There are 14 houses on that portion of the street. Several times a year, neat-o Pat and her hubby host a FFTBSOYOS "block party." (Feel Free To Bring Some Of Your Own Stuff). Lots of fun and catching up had by all! My being ever-inquisitive, at the 1st meeting, I discovered Pat's penchant for throwing things. Initially, I thought she was a baseball pitcher, then I learned that "throwing" is a term used in making pottery. Her shop is but a few moment's drive from home and she is now in pursuit of international exposure. If you'd like to "meet" Pat and her co-thrower, Margie...OR...if you know any Grand Poobahs, Potentates, Persnickety Royalty and even everyday folks in search of neat, original stuff, kindly click on their site, where you may enjoy a tour and peruse the wares. http://www.clayescapespottery.com By the way, the opening statements are presented in case applicable questions appear in a Trivial Pursuit Game, but you already knew that, didn't you?
