Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.
Thats all he needed to close it. Thats all Trump needed.
Maybe this is just Proof Trump is better than Biden.

Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength

I had to go back to the downtown mall yesterday to exchange a shirt I'd bought for my husband last week that he was not crazy about.  The sleeves were too short!  One of the reasons I really like to physically go shopping and try things on as opposed to buying clothes online.  It's the main shopping mall in our apology for a capital city - Salem.  There was no-one around hardly and just racks of stuff marked down 80% and titled "Last Act".  Some smaller stores in the mall looked about to close down.  Pretty soon it seems that retail shopping and a nice lunch date with a friend will be a thing of the past.  I am really sad that modern technology has taken the joy out of this.  I happened to read this article last night which seems to confirm the demise of shopping malls as we know them.

I hate the thought of that happening as well.

For a nation that only 5 or so years ago, an economist predicted would trend more toward a "service industry" economy, I have to wonder where the heck is the service?

 technology is taking over and we go along with the flow.... don't we?

I purchase a lot of my items online now at Walmart... Amazon... and they get me with the free shipping why use my gasoline when I can use somebody else's gasoline..

Also time is involved...

Not to mention the safety too


in Memphis Tennessee they have security patrolling the parking lots at your major shopping centers...

Times are changing and we do keep up...

The movie theaters are almost empty now  because why sit in the movie theater when you can sit in the comfort of your own home and watch the same movie for pretty much the same price without others bothering you....


 we're basically becoming an anti-social nation...for example...

 look at :

 Facebook...tweeters.....Instagram...etc

The good old days are here...so one thinks...

The shopping malls are overpriced and that's only to keep the lights turned on for them.... so the cost of their items goes up  to accommodate them and I guess us...
We pay don't we...

People have lost jobs in those mall

Who wins...UPS..Fed Ex...USPS...and the internet...

My item from CA should be arriving Thursday...

Going with the flow...

We need stores for shoes and clothing.  Those two things I need to try  on. Other stuff, I will buy at Amazon.

Exactly sun and if you buy those online and they don't fit it's more of a hassle to return it.

I've tried to use the Walmart website, it's broken on my end.  It will say "showing 1-50 of 2354 items" and there will only be like 6 on the page and no more pages...

I contacted them and they gave me some song and dance, so I just don't go there now...we have a brick and mortar WallyWorld a few miles from us, so I stock up on household cleaners, shampoos, TP, things like that.
