adds one more thing to the "to do with Jesse when you finally meet her" list.

Watch her eat and save gum at the same time?

I figured they'd just save gum together.

See, I never understood that flavor. Were you supposed to swallow the gum or what?

If we were at krav, there'd be an answer that involved your sister. And you don't even need to have one.

A sister, I mean.

My skirt today has sequins. I think I will wear it to the baby shower this weekend.

Now that Macy's has eaten Robinson Mays, I wonder how many malls are Macy's-bookended. And what they intend to do about that, if anything. Simi Valley Town Center for one.

They are leaving the Macy's and taking out the Rob-Mays. Leaves a lot of malls out an anchor store.

All of them?

I haven't looked at the Simi mall to see if the ex-Robinson's Mays is still open, but it's weird to drive by the Macy's signs at both ends.

Pretty sure that was the word. The mall I worked at had both and I'm pretty sure M said that's what they were doing. I go look.

You may already know this, but Macys is doing that to all of their stores, AFAIK, including Marshall Fields, Meier & Frank, Robinsons-May, Foley's, Jones, Famous-Barr, L.S. Ayres, Kaufmann's, Hecht's, Strawbridge's and Filene's.

Wait--Macys already owned Robinsons May? Also, how much more apostrophe inconsistent could I be? It's like crappy Stargate fanfic.

speaking of pinching cheeks. I was just explaining how satisfying it is when you find that perfect nickname for someone. GUESS WHO I USED AS EXAMPLES?!?!?!?

No - they took it over last year.

Macy's' parent company bought the May stores last year: [link]

God, I forgot about Bullocks!

Just found this article on the Macy/Rob-May duplication thang.

One-fiddy? Though it's possible you never met him or heard his nickname. A couple guys at krav work really hard at giving nicknames. Sometimes it's laboured, sometimes it's perfect. The guy who always went too hard and then some ended up with the prefix 150% before his name, and then his name kinda dropped, and the % kinda dropped, and suddenly the people running the centre were referring to him just by his digits.

Not sure if/when he found out about it.
