Ruby and are are jointly nominating each other as Idiots of the Year – People of Wal-Mart Division. We had meticulously planned this Thanksgiving weekend getaway. About 30 miles out of Shelby when we realized we had forgotten a few things. — no problem, we’ll stop at Wal-Mart and get the things we need. This is the first time that I have seen a Wal-Mart parking lot totally and absolutely full. Most of this blog post was actually written on my iPhone while I was standing in line waiting to check out of this Wal-Mart from Hell.

Did I mention this was on Thanksgiving Day, about 8:15 PM. This was the first Black Friday Thursday. All we wanted to get we’re just a few essential toiletries and contact lens supplies. The management of this Wal-Mart had assigned the household and toiletries department to be the waiting area for those people waiting for the large plasma TVs to go on sale at midnight. These people were smirking at us as we tried to peer around them to find our toiletry items. What an inconvenience we were to them.

Since I can’t get an Internet connection in this hotel room and I’m typing without my glasses on my iPhone.  I’ll continue this blog post later. I hope that you will return to get a well written complete post from me.
