Terry

[elfwitch]

I go to Target more often than any other place.

It used to be HEB when we lived in San Antonio. They don't have HEB in Dallas.

[frylock]

3. fry's..

it's toys R us for geeks!

[bif]

4. Costco

I never thought I'd hear myself say it I used to hate mig stores like that. But that place is great. And the owners have contributed huge bucks to the Dems. Gotta love that.

[elfwitch]

ooohhh... I go there a lot too...

I feel a little better about spending money there than I would about going to Sam's.

[bif]

20. I refuse to support anything associated with Sam Walton

Yeach! And this morning, I heard a plug for Walmart on Morning Edition. co0udn't believe my ears. They said something like; "Wallmart, supporting commities and the people in them." or something like that. How about: "Destroying communities and the independent retailers in them."

[elfwitch]

21. no kidding...

There are several places like that for me.
Walfart
Chick-fil-a
Dominoes
Hobby Lobby

[arcane1]

50. the Chick-fil-a thing was very depressing

originally, anyway. Used to be a rare thing to find one in my hometown, now they are everywhere and at about 45% of the original quality..

and run by repubes :puke:

I got over it pretty quickly after all that :)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

59. what is that?

[arcane1]

61. it's like a fast-food place, but it's all chicken

no beef, etc, that I know of.

They used to only exist in malls, but in recent years I've seen a few actual restaurants, with drive-thru windows and all that.

That was in VA, and right offhand I can't think of any time I saw one in CA. Of course by the time I moved here I had lost interest anyway...

[fudge stripe cookays]

69. Don't forget Home Depot on that list.

Those are all my biggies too.

[arcane1]

5. Rasputin Records, City Lights Bookstore are my top 2

what is Express? :shrug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

express is a clothing store

kinda like zara

[arcane1]

35. ah, ok

I thought it sounded familiar...

tks

[northzax]

6. the Pleasure Place

[La Lioness Priyanka]

14. see now that sounds interesting

[northzax]

27. why would you say that?

http://www.pleasureplace.com/

not that I'd go there from work, or anything.

[Butterflies]

7. I go to PetSmart most often

so I guess that's it. I'm also in Target a lot.

[BlueEyedSon]

8. Please post a picture of your favorite "toy"

:evilgrin:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

15. go to the website

and check out the nexus and wahls 7 in 1

[Bertha Venation]

18. I saw those...

:scared:

[BlueEyedSon]

24. Whoa, expensive

And i dont think it will fit me.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

28. LOL!

[arcane1]

31. hmmm.... verrry interesting

heck I could have some fun with those too! :evilgrin:

there are a few stores like that here (can't recall the name at the moment) but I've never been inside

yet :P

[La Lioness Priyanka]

33. what are you waiting for?

[arcane1]

37. no rush, I suppose

no play mates at the moment, still working on that :)

[WI_DEM]

9. St. Vinnies

St. Vincent DePaul on Williamson Street (Willy Street) in Madison, Wi. It is a used goods store and alot of the stuff is really fine quality.

[corporatewhore]

12. i like St.Vincent DePaul thrift Store on congress (austin)

[Bertha Venation]

10. Believe it or not,

we just got something from Toys in Babeland! :9

[La Lioness Priyanka]

16. whatcha get?

[Bertha Venation]

17. oh... um.... uh....

things... new things... :blush: and a movie.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

30. atleast tell me what movie

did ya get sugarhigh?

[Bertha Venation]

40. not "sugarhigh"....

I've never bought such a film before. Back home I lived in the gay ghetto and lived next door to a video store that had a huge gay porn section, and I rented "Real San Francisco Lesbians" -- after I rented a "lesbian" movie that was full of froo-froo straight women acting for men. :puke: So the movie I bought from TIB was one of the "Real SF Lesbians" films. It was the only title I felt confident would not contain froo-froo straight women acting for men.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

42. have a feeling if you ever saw me

youd say i was "froo froo" :)

[Bertha Venation]

44. honey, there's a difference

There's a difference between froo-froo straight and froo-froo Family. Don't you think?

Femme is cool.... ;)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

46. so long as i am family

dont care if you call me froo froo :pals:

[Bertha Venation]

47. well of course you're Family.

:pals:

Two dear friends in my old chorus back home did a song called "I Gotta Right To Wear Heels" -- maybe I'll describe it sometime. First time I ever really found femmes (that I knew personally) attractive. That singing and dancing thing . . . . Yow.

[arcane1]

45. as a man..

I hate that phony-looking stuff too. The expressions on people's faces speak volumes (and make ALL the difference :evilgrin: )

[Bertha Venation]

48. well, hello there!

;)

expressions: damn right.

[arcane1]

49. I do feel, however...

that I am in a minority amongst my gender...

ah, well, what do they know? More for me :D

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

11. Pacsun for clothes...

And this shop called Reminescence in the Chelsea district in NYC. I'm also a huge fan of any and all art stores (not craft stores like Joann's, but real art stores).

[GOPisEvil]

13. Waterloo Records, Target, Costco, Golfsmith...

...a few of my favorites.

[elfwitch]

19. Is Book People still in Austin?

Just wondering...

[GOPisEvil]

22. Si! Another of my favorite places!

[elfwitch]

29. I used to hang out at Hogwild in San Antonio

a whole lot in my college days. My friends knew the owner and would burn with him on occasion.

[GOPisEvil]

32. I used to go there all the time when I was at SAC.

Great stuff in there - still!

I shop a lot at 33 Degrees Records here in Austin, too. Another small indie shop. Sometimes their prices are a bit higher, but I really like supporting them.

[elfwitch]

36. I wonder if Hogwild is still there?

Do you know?

[GOPisEvil]

38. I just saw an article on an employee there in Monday's Excess.

So, yeah, it's still there.

[elfwitch]

39. Great!

You remember when the owner got hauled in for selling the 2LiveCrew album?

[GOPisEvil]

41. LOL - that's right. I remember now.

[fudge stripe cookays]

71. Hey GOP, where's 33 Degrees?

It must be relatively new. I know a lot of folks in "the biz" from my record store days. My ex used to own ABCDs before CD Warehouse bought them, and a couple of my really good friends worked at Waterloo for years.

Do you know who owns it?

[fudge stripe cookays]

70. Me too! 'Cept for Golfsmith (never been golfing)

[RebelOne]

23. Big Lots

No telling what bargains you can find there.

[Sandpiper]

25. Wal Mart

j/k :-)

[Bertha Venation]

26. Wild Bird Center and any bookstore. eom

[radwriter0555]

34. Bristol Farms for food (((((drool)))).... Banana Republic, J. Crew for

clothes.

Nordstrom for shoes.

Sur la Table for kitchen gear.

[Turbineguy]

43. Definitive Audio

in Seattle.

[tigerbeat]

51. Amoeba Records nt

[Kathy in Cambridge]

52. Target, Off 5th, Century 21,Nordstrom Rack, Home Goods, Marshalls, TJ Maxx

I love Targay! Most of the time I shop at discount outlets and stores.

I also like Loehmann's, but only the one on 7th Ave. in Manhattan.

[GOPisEvil]

54. How could I forget Marshall's?!?!

I love Marshall's! Off 5th has some decent stuff, too. But it's still pretty expensive.

Outlet Malls rock!

[sbj405]

53. Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Target

[CO Liberal]

55. Hate to Say It, But the Wal-Mart Super Center

It's open 24/7, and the prices are better than any other store i the area.

[fudge stripe cookays]

72. The "prices" may be good...but you're paying for it, alright.

[GumboYaYa]

56. Vintage Vinyl, it is a record store down the street

from my house. I might as well have my paycheck deposited in their bank account.

Vintage Vinyl is one of the only surviving independent record stores I know of. It is a thriving buinsess that has survived by employing people who know music and maintaining an inventory of hard to find classics of all genres as well as all the new music in every genre (not just pop and pop country).

[Screaming Lord Byron]

57. My vote goes to Zulu Records, 4th Ave, Vancouver, BC

[GumboYaYa]

65. "Zulu Records"...any store named after my favorite

Mardi Gras parade has to be cool.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

58. hi gumbo

my wife saw your mssg to us ..the offer to right up our rights and she said that you are a very sweet person ..

[GumboYaYa]

64. Big Lots and Aldi's

Also, Target, Pep Boys, Harris Teeter, Hechts

[tinnyguy1777]

67. Liquor--------n/t

[noonwitch]

68. Nordstrom

Not that I can afford it these days

[fudge stripe cookays]

73. Northhaven Gardens

My favorite place to stock up on Monrovia, sniff the herbs (huge selection!), relax to the sounds of tinkling fountains, and confer with the experts about just the right plant for that blank spot.
