The funny think is that both have some terrific values on quality California labels.

I ended up going to both because I wanted beach towels, too.

Rite Aid won out.

I think trying to understand an entire sex is an exercise in frustration.

Women are as varied and crazy as men are. It's much better, I think, to try to understand individuals.

You know, the people you know and are involved with.

I don't believe that any of us can be stereotyped into a mold and it is better to understand each others as individuals.

However, I did chuckle when I saw the picture so I thought I would share some humor--hopefully, it isn't considered to be sexist after the contentious threads that have occurred this week. It's also why I posted it in the Lounge rather than GD.

I've seen the young women here in GD get REALLY out of joint and I think, What? Maybe I'm just used to it.

The Lounge is definitely the place for this sort of thing.

i'm sitting here drinking a vodka & tonic, trying to understand myself! (hopefully it won't take as long as it took for those in your picture...but, unfortunately, i suspect it will)
