I just moved to Astoria (about 70 miles west of Portland) and have spent an amazing amount of time and money in Ikea in the past few weeks but have to marvel at their ability to provide basics at good prices. I've promised my daughter regular trips to Portland for her shopping trifecta - Ikea, TJs and Sonic

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

I don't know if it qualifies as true desert, but the high plains of Wyoming are amazing. So empty, so wide open. You can see how they acquired their mythic reputation.

“Not dead yet!”
Deserts are fascinating to me because of that remarkable clarity that an arid environment provides, and the sheer amount of life that such a seemingly inhospitable environment can support, but having grown up as a flatlander, I find mountains even more stunning. I still marvel, driving around here, that I can just round a corner and all of a sudden, a mountain vista pops up, seemingly out of nowhere.

Dude, your IKEA (the one in Renton, yeah?) has lattes for $1. Seriously. Premilked coffee.
Dude, the SOFT SERVE is what I live for. 110 calories a serving, btw. Also? Made of nom.
I love my IKEA. Even if it is on the Eastern Edge of the Hellmouth.
The center of the Hellmouth, btw, is Southcenter Mall.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Note to self - not eating turns you into a rageful monster bitch from hell. Next time, when you go to open your mouth to say something mean, try putting a Snickers in first.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Aims, I think that's the basis of Snickers' current marketing campaign.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh, man, that soft-serve. I can't believe I forgot about that.
I love my IKEA. Even if it is on the Eastern Edge of the Hellmouth.
I love your IKEA too. Even if shopping there before I got an IKEA of my own led to candle mockage. I needed to stock up!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Sighhh...
DO tell the people just what you mean by "stock up"
