lol

todays snipet on the page from randy's this is true cracks me up. In case a different one shows for anyone else here it is.. 

Full Service
A new British mall is building in an innovation to attract women shoppers: a day care center — for their husbands. “Some grown-up men are very similar to small children, and most couples have anecdotes of their own to prove it,” said a spokesman for the Bluewater Retail Centre, being constructed in Kent. He added that the idea for the big-baby-sitting area came from “extensive research showing that 50 percent of couples’ shopping trips end in argument.” The creche features video games, televisions showing sports ...and beer. (Reuters) ...And, we hope, a changing area.

Now why cant US markets do this. LOL Man I got so frustrated christmas shopping this year as my dear Significant Other was WORSE then kids, every 10 feet he was stopping to examine something, pausing to watch tv's, game systems, browse something! We had already waited till like 2-3 am to go shopping to avoid the crowds anyhow.  And I ended up calling home to ask a couple of the kids questions on sizes for things and of course he had the cell. Once I had to travel the entire length of the store  to call my daughter about lipring sizes cause he wanted to watch kungfoo panda in the electronics aisle!!! 

He has to stop in the toys aisle, magazines, greeting cards, electronics, ALL DVD racks, and whatever else catches his eye. Me I don't mind browsing a little bit but I would much rather get what I need and get out. That comes from years of never having money for extras.
