Forgive me DU for I have sinned.

[RevolutionaryActs]

It has been never since my last confession.

I....... shopped at Walmart today, but damn it, I got two cans of nice paint and painting supplies, all for a little over $50 dollars.

I'm sorry DU, will you ever forgive me? :o

[JohnKleeb]

1. forgiven

Shit happens.

[RevolutionaryActs]

2. LOL!

:P

[JohnKleeb]

5. You could do worse

like voting republican or supporting their positions. Sometimes wal-mart or whatever is the only place where you can buy something, so :shrug:, I for example am a big eater of fast food.

[RevolutionaryActs]

20. Ewwww vote republican.

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW :puke:

[JohnKleeb]

25. Yeah that would be harder to forgive

[RevolutionaryActs]

29. I would never forgive myself

:o

[JohnKleeb]

35. you know what are bad? southern republicans

Sigh it sucks.

[RevolutionaryActs]

43. They're scary.

I know some. I've argued with some. Proved they were so fucking wrong about everything, didn't do a damn thing.

[JohnKleeb]

44. You know the reason why they become republicans in the first place dont ya

I am not a real southerner, family is Pennsylvanian, Pittsburgh and Johnstown and all that shit. The real reason why many white southerners vote republican now but are still registered democrat is their own prejudice.

[metisnation]

3. do what you want

buy from the nazis

You shall reap what you sow.

[RevolutionaryActs]

7. I hope that was meant as sarcastic, because if not that was harsh.

:o

[Not_Giving_Up]

4. You are forgiven

The power of the Wal-Mart is strong, resistance is difficult.

[Arkana]

6. All I can think of is that "South Park" episode...

"The heart! You must destroy Wal-Mart's heart!"

[Not_Giving_Up]

15. They ran that one last night

Cracks me up every time!

[RevolutionaryActs]

11. Thank you. It's just so cheap...

:(

[intrepid_wanderer]

61. FUTILE DAMMIT! FUTILE!!!! n/t

[Huckebein the Raven]

8. Several shots of Johnnie and all is forgiven and forgotten

:P

I forgive you.

[RevolutionaryActs]

18. LOL!

Why sir, are you trying to get me drunk. :o

[Huckebein the Raven]

24. No, of course not Madame

:P :evilgrin:

[RevolutionaryActs]

31. Liar.

:P

[Huckebein the Raven]

38. LOL. Hehe

see through me can you ?

:P

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

9. No need to apologize.

I do almost all of my family's shopping at Walmart. I'm not sorry for it either. There's nothing to be sorry about.

[RevolutionaryActs]

14. Yay!

:hug:

[steve2470]

10. If you donate to my church, my daughter, you shall be

forgiven. If you don't, the hounds of hell shall haunt your every waking step.

that was really creeping me out as I wrote it.

[RevolutionaryActs]

12. LOL! That was funny.

:hi:

[intrepid_wanderer]

62. ..

Now THAT is the evangel(evil)ism I've become accustomed to early on weekend mornings... ahhh... the sadness, clandestine fundraising.... EVIL :-)

I like Bill Maher's remarks in regard to religion... except that it bothers me to assume all faithful are 'ill' Too sweeping a stereotype to pass muster

[donheld]

13. I'm telling Skinner

He's gonna :spank: you :evilgrin:

[RevolutionaryActs]

16. Really?

Oh man I hope he does! :o

[JohnKleeb]

17. I didnt know you had a thing for spankings

[RevolutionaryActs]

21. I don't.. only if it's Skinner.

:evilgrin:

[JohnKleeb]

26. oh my

[RevolutionaryActs]

28. LOL!

You know I'm just teasing right? :think:

[JohnKleeb]

36. of course I do

[Webster Green]

19. I broke down recently myself....

I wanted an AM/FM/CD boombox. Didn't care about the quality, just needed a beater to drag around with me at work. Spent $20 on a piece of shit. Just what I needed.

[RevolutionaryActs]

22. At least I'm not the only one.

:hi:

[catbert836]

23. As penance you must do these:

-Read a Molly Ivins book
-Contribute $10 to the ACLU
-Watch a Michael Moore film
After this, all is forgiven.

[RevolutionaryActs]

27. OK.

:7

Does it matter if I do that right away? I'm in the middle of reading like 5 books and I can't add another one just yet.

[catbert836]

34. Yeah, it's OK

Just as long as you read it before you die, that is.

[taught_me_patience]

30. its ok...

your repentance will come when you try to paint using that crappy wal-mart paint and discover that you have to paint two coats to cover what would take more expensive paints only one. Then, you'll never shop there again.


take it from an ex painter...
never be cheap with either the paint or paint brushes.


taught

[RevolutionaryActs]

33. It's really nice paint.

I've tried, have half a wall painted. It's very nice. Go figure. :shrug:

[Wapsie B]

32. Repent my child.

A trip to Costco will cleanse your soul. For penance just buy a round for the house.

[RevolutionaryActs]

39. I love Costco, my mom and I go there every week

lol.

:7

[taught_me_patience]

42. all is forgiven...

1) listen to air america for 2 hours
2) watch one episode of Real Time
3) buy your brushes from a local shop


taught

[RevolutionaryActs]

49. Oooh. I love the first two things!

That's my idea of major fun. :7

We already had some brushes. :shrug:

[xmas74]

37. I forgive you.

It is the only place in town that will take my daughter's prescription insurance, so I have to go there every month ( she's always getting sick).
Plus, the nearest Target is about an hour away so sometimes I have to run there for last-minute supplies.

[RevolutionaryActs]

46. Thanks hehe

I'm sorry about your daughter. :hug:

[xmas74]

50. She just has allergies or ear infections nonstop.

Nothing really serious-just more of an inconvenience.
It does suck when you are stuck w/ Walmart and nothing else.

[RevolutionaryActs]

52. That's good it's not serious

:)

And yeah it does suck when you're stuck with Walmart. x(

[donheld]

40. The Trajedy is that too many people are forced

because of economic constraints to shop at places like Wal-mart. Many can't afford anything else.

[RevolutionaryActs]

48. I know, it's depressing.

:(

[MAlibdem]

41. I think South Park had it right last night

If you want to destroy it, all it takes is a little self control.

[RevolutionaryActs]

45. I never shop there

I just did this time because I've wanted to paint my room forever, and I got money for my birthday. So I just thought I would go look at what they had, and they had this nice paint for cheap.

:(

[B Calm]

47. You are forgiven, but only if you take union literature to Walmarts

tomorrow and hand it to every employee..

[ralps]

51. You're forgiven

just please don't do it again:hi: :hug: :hug: :hug: :loveya: :pals:

[RevolutionaryActs]

53. OMG! I won't!

I felt ill while I was in there, but I'm not rich, and it's cheap. :shrug:


:hug:

[New Earth]

54. i shopped there on Saturday

:spank:

i just bought a shirt and a pair of pants :shrug:

they've actually gotten more expensive then they used to be (at least around here, the one i go to). and the selection sucked.

[RevolutionaryActs]

55. Yeahh

I use to shop there before I learned they were evil, and I would buy clothes, and they were alright. The clothes I saw today didn't look very nice and weren't that much less then things at Costco, which are usually nice.

[El Fuego]

56. You're going straight to DU flame hell for the wal-mart thing. Sorry.

:nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

[RevolutionaryActs]

57. I am? Shit.

:scared:

[progmom]

60. Dude - do you ever check your inbox????

[RevolutionaryActs]

63. No. Sorry, I will now!

:o

[Tsiyu]

58. Hey!

You stoled my line, dagnabbit!

And I, too committed this most heinous of sins. But I was spending the night with friends and woke at two AM when the wine and Valium wore off and my "needs-a-root-canal-dry-socket" tooth decided to take over my head.

All I could think of was that there was a WalMart only minutes away. ( Don't have that curse at home) and so there I was at 3 AM buying anbesol.

I felt only a twinge of guilt, followed by pain relief and sleep.

My lack of DU hipness precludes a response from a cool DaddyO like you. Poor, poor sad me. But thanks for allowing me to confess. I feel better already. Now where the fuck is that anbesol....

[intrepid_wanderer]

64. Yo! BHG!

Here's hoping your head stays within the control of your forces with minimal casualties (hours of sleep)!!

Feel better! (...still healing from sinus surgery.. ugh... MUCH better now though/already)

:bounce:

[Tsiyu]

65. Ah intrepid_wanderer, thanks for the well wishes

Glad you are on the mend from "Concrete Sinus Face." That must have hurt.

I am doing the combo pain relief approach tonight, but I left my gift bottle of wine down in the valley. Pooh! That was the best stuff...cherry/white grape, homemade. Damn.

I'll have to head down the hills to retrieve it tomorrow....

And you are the true hipster, aren't you?;)

[intrepid_wanderer]

66. me.. hipster? uhhh... Yo, G... whut uhp...

OK, soo, not really... not so much...

uhh... OK, not at all usually. but I think you knew that. :-)

:bounce: homemade wine... happy thoughts :bounce:

[tjdee]

59. Shhhhh....if there was one here I'd go to it....

SHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

[Radical Activist]

67. NO!

Wal-Mart is evil! You must perform penance!
:spank:

[JohnKleeb]

68. I am sure you'd like that eh unky

[RevolutionaryActs]

69. Uncle RA......

........ (not going to say anything least this thread get locked.)

[Radical Activist]

70. lol

good idea.

[RevolutionaryActs]

71. Ayup.

:o

[orleans]

72. you must try to resist in the future

i was just reading about walmart tonight from "thieves in high places" by jim hightower

pg. 169; "Wal-Mart is now the largest corporation on earth, having passed both General Motors and ExxonMobil for the top slot. It'll rake in nearly $250 billion in revenue in 2003--more than the entire GDP of Ireland and Israel combined (on one day late in 2002 it had $1.4 billion in revenue--more than the GDP of thirty-six nations)."

"It has surpassed GM as the world's largest employer, with 1.3 million workers--about one of every 120 workers in our country, and one of every twenty retail workers (more employees than the U.S. Army has soldiers)."

pg. 170: "Of the ten richest people in the world, five are Waltons, with a total of $100 billion in personal wealth--more than Bill Gates."

pg 172: "While the company brags that 70 percent of its workers are full-time, it defines "full-time" as twenty-eight hours a week, meaning that these employees gross under $11,000 a year.
Health care benefits? Only if you've been there two years, then the plan hits you with such huge premiums and high deductibles that few can afford it--only 38 percent of Wal-Marters are covered."

sorry to get so serious about it here. just thought i could offer a little information for anyone who didn't already know (thanks to jim hightower).

it's not always easy not shopping there but i've managed to do it for over a year now and before that i hardly went there and every time i did i felt guilty about it (ever since the "walmart is bad for people" starting making news). but you can do it. i know you can. we can all do it if we try.

[Bridget Burke]

73. Everything you do is OK because you live in a Blue State.

Here I am in a Red State (Texas, no less) & I'd never go to WalMart.....
