Marlena, I'm lost in this. I really don't understand what you're saying. I
think Eric's comment is most astute. When one lies to one's self, by
definition one has to shift the blame to something/someone else. Regarding
Wal-Mart and me, I'm inclined to think you're confusing my comments about
Wal-Mart vis-a-vis the economy with something else. I shop at Wal-Mart. If
you think I shouldn't, then let me know where I should shop. In the meantime,
I really, really, really would appreciate it if you would stop dragging me into
your posts. I know you'll keep doing it, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Dear Eric,
Ah...thanks for clearing most of that up!
But...you forgot my question about whether or not "Wal-mart" is draining the
lifeblood of the creative painter (who was and still is "great" at least in the
eyes of his family and close friends <g>) so that he can no longer paint the
murals on their walls as he used to do! (because of losing his job as a
computer programmer and finally deciding that he couldn't uproot his two kids,
one of whom is in special classes at school and is therefore thriving and his
wife, at the least, is setting forth each day to feed the homeless and so, by
working at Walmart, they are taking care of their poor yet cheerful daughter
who is gradually getting the physical, occupational and speech therapy that she
needs and for the first time in her life has friends--and all because of his
job at Walmart--where they have that machine set up in the back (I've been in
their back rooms--Dept. 38, I think it is, that handles this category of
nefarious work) which is sucking the creative life out of each
employee as well as those who shop there...(note that mostly when Andy/Irene
has posted such posts as have annoyed Phil that she has often mentioned
shopping at Walmart--was it *really* Irene posting or the person drained of
creative energy BECAUSE of Walmart...(please take this in the spirit that it's
intended Andy/Irene! <g> It's just for fun...and not to be taken personally!
ie don't go to Walmart today! And, maybe Phil better not, either!)
Best,
Marlena
still pondering how fast the day has been moving...
