Ah, the advantages of being my age. I went back to start at page one and every cartoon was new to me. SunFan

You can look on line home depot, they have over 30 of them, if in stock they will ship to you..so you do not have to go in to GDL...

Same experience and wage as a 15 year old in Detroit in the mid 60's. Eight hours a week minus $5 per month union dues which amounted to 10% of gross wages and of course less social security and taxes. Rode a bus to work too for 25 cents. We had to wear white shirts and a tie and got to gather carts in the snow-covered parking lot when needed. Crappy jobs like that as a young person not only exposes one to associated responsibilities but also make you aware that perhaps there are better jobs available with more effort and education.

All this bashing of Wallmart. People seem to forget their are a few things at Walmart they cannot get any where else and usually at low prices. Sure we have Pancho's, Super Lake and the Garage but look at what prices they charge. You won't find any bargains. I for one is happy Walmart is here and it is my handy bank when I need money from the states. MoneyGram is a very cheap way of getting close to actual money exchange rates here.

It may be a true story from your standpoint. To some of us, it is a rumor and gossip. I venture to guess that none of us know what the owners, employees of businesses are doing on a regular basis. Do you like the food? Is the service good? Those are probably the most important aspects of this business. Example: Do we care what the bus driver does in his spare time? No. We want him to drive the bus safely and somewhat on a schedule.

True dat. I think there are folks from the States who've recently had a shiny new Walmart Supercenter go up in their town, and they like it, and it suits their needs, blah, blah. To a person like that, a grimy old Walmart "Classic" store is gonna look like crap. Everything's old and disorganized, and you can see by the flooring that the shelves and registers have been reconfigured many times. Nobody loves that store, employees included. There are many times more shoddy Walmarts than shiny ones, and that's what almost everybody is familiar with. (I think there might be a shiny Walmart in Tlaquepaque or somewhere.) Embrace the grimy Walmart for what it is! Everybody knows the proposition: of the things you'd buy (maybe 3% of their SKUs), they might just have the lowest price. No other advantage. Nothing wrong with the lowest price for something I'm buying anyway. LQ

Tom that was uncalled for! Jerk!

Tio Sam's is bringing a technician down from Guadalajara on Thursday. I'm on the list for the guy to check out my 10 year old GE Profile Oven. Gualberto and Carlos can't figure out the problem and the one guess they have requires a part they say is unavailable. Carlos can probably take a look if the problem appears to be simple. 765-5653

Wait for the trash truck to come by and give them 100 to 200 pesos to take the stuff. I have seen them take large bed mattresses for about 200 pesos.

Is it possible to break this up and put it in garbage bags?

Carmic, Nicely put and you beat me to the punch. Never assume that just because a person has made a few posts does not mean that they are new to the area.

Artsnob suggests Lopez Produce. I couldn't agree more. A wonderful family who began with a hole-in-the-wall location and grew it into two stores. Excellent selection, friendly staff and clean. You'll be doing yourself a favour/favor and you'll reduce your aggravation.

There is only one repair person (imho) that is worth calling. Gualberto Real (father and son). Those two can repair ANY major appliance and are efficient, personable, on time and reasonably priced. Landline: 765-5653 and cell phone: 331-026-5450.

Hopefully they won't go back to Ecstasy
