With all due respect Mr. Frank, sir, seems I've seen plenty of real men use our local Lowes, too.

Within walking distance of our closest Home Depot is a Wendy's, a Burger King, and a Mickey D's. Those seem to attract a lot of real men for breakfast and lunch on workdays too!



Tis sad but true Steve....this mountain ain't the lil' ol mountain no mo! PLUS....ground was broke on a "TARGET" this morning!! Does this mean I don't have to travel to Flagstaff once a month? NO....until Kohls, Frys Food and Drug, Chilis, Applebees and Cocos comes to the mountain I'll still go to Flag!

I agree with you, all the Home Depot's I've been too have really crappy parking lots, they're very crowded. I park as far away as I can, but getting in and out of the lot is a real task.

Snowman, when are you getting a Starbucks? There are at least 10 Starbucks within a 5 miles radius of where I live. It's great, but its becoming a bit much!

Aunt Bea said there are 6 Starbucks coffee shops in Mayberry. Floyd and Goober got thrown out of the one on Mt. Pilot Road for arguing about Barney's new police cruiser.

I love Starbucks too, I just wish there wasn't one on every corner. I'm a Venti Decaf Latte w/ non-fat milk and a 1/2 of splenda with legs, kinda girl! :D
I'm going to try that Green Tea w/ blackberry syrup frappicino, sounds dee-lish!

LOL...if you don't want a Starbucks around, come to Homestead. I've heard rumors there's one coming, but until then, our closest is up in Miami, maybe Cutler Bay.....LOL

On a hot day like we've all been having, it's the ONLY thing that will quinche my thirst but beware, your friends and co workers will ask what you are drinking, it looks GROSS!! It looks like a Guacomole drink with sour cream on top :ggreen: I bought one last Saturday and before I could leave the store (Safeway) I had over 11 people ask me what I was drinking, once I told 'em they ALL went to Starbucks to order one!

Good thing The Brown Bag is in town. ;)
