re: what I bought today
went to Freeport, because I wanted to hit LL Bean. Town was *so* crowded today, W-H-A-T was I thinking? Anyway, I dodged strollers, toddlers and rude people down the street and trekked to Beans. I purchased a bicycle helmet (silver and black) and

Did anyone really pay full price?

slightly OT: discovered an at home remedy for curing facial flat warts
After taking my teen daughter for several visits to the dermatologist over the past year or so, using a Px med (Avita gel) for months and no change in some flat warts on her forehead, I decided to try something much simpler and natural. I've used

Foley's swallowed up by Macy's / Ideology clothing line
What I'm wondering is now that all Foley's (I think they are in Texas only) stores have been acquired by Macy's and will be changing their name and merchandise, will Macy's take on some of the popular clothing lines such as Ideology, which is my fav
