Aimee, in a year from now when she's gone from ultra-expensive name brand to generic store brand, she'll be kicking herself for not doing it.

I doubt this will happen. I suspect she'll always be a name brand buyer. We buy mostly the same brand but we buy in bulk from the big warehouse store.

Dang, Nora, too bad Tom won't be there over the weekend, I was hoping to snag two Buffista DHs at once!

Brenda, since Matt's going to be hanging around longer (over an actual weekend), you want to get together in Milwaukee to schmooze?

He must come back to MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE on the weekend, Sail!

They are also very much about appearances. Again, so am I a lot of the time, but they like to impress people with what they can afford rather than with how funny, sexy, smart, and pretty they are like I do.

Cashmere's goolie is a DMZ?

Also her tag makes me want to go home and watch Wonderfalls....

I drove the Communists from my shores last week, maybe that's why they're suddenly attacking new targets.
