Griz Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 That was a nightmare... I went to town today to do some Christmas shopping and as I turned into Wal-mart I nearly passed out. I have never seen the parking lot that full in my life... So after driving in circles for it seem like an hour. I finally found a parking spot. I had to walk it seemed like a mile to the store. When I walked inside I thought HOLY SMOKES!!!! It looked like a bunch of fire ants inside the store. There were people everywhere... Well I took a far away look and a deep breath and started in. Needless to say I got my shopping done and got back home in one piece... "THANK YOU LORD" Shooooo! That was an experience and I'm glad I only have to do that once a year... A country boy in a big town. It just don't mix... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Re: Went To The Big Town Today!!!! Hey, glad you made it back safe and sound Dale. Didn't know ADA had a mall. BTW--I was watching the NY Giants the other day and about fell off the couch when I saw that Jeremy Shockey is from ADA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, that's in the small town where I'm from. Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Re: Went To The Big Town Today!!!! That's why you shouldn't wait till the last minute,lol!

gone_postal Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Re: Went To The Big Town Today!!!! Sounds like our local Wal-mart here too!! My hubby is not a big shopper, so he goes to the Sporting goods(hunting) dept., and stays put until I'm done with my shopping!! Works great, sure beats searching the store for each other!! Another plus is he usually sees someone he knows, so passes the time chatting it up with people!! Griz, just think of it as the "social" center and it won't seem so bad!!

HitRmisS Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Re: Went To The Big Town Today!!!! i also made the mistake of going to the mall yesterday, i had to park at the very end of the parking lot, then when i left i had to sit in traffic for 20 minutes on a side road trying to make it back to the highway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fourtrax_300 Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Re: Went To The Big Town Today!!!! well i try not to go to the mall or wal mart as much as possible. but sometimes you have to go to wal mart and the mall is a prime girl hunting spot ! i swear me and my friends have them patterned just like the deer we hunt ! lol i go to the wal mart every week end ! we sit in the back of the parking lot and talk and stuff. nothing else to do in this small town other than that and "shoot the loop" from mc Donalds to the gas station and back.

wtnhunt Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Re: Went To The Big Town Today!!!! Glad that I am pretty much done. Still have to pick up my daughters new rifle probably this afternoon. Dreading going back into wal mart, especially with knowing I am going to have to wait a little bit for a background check.

Ohiobucks Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Re: Went To The Big Town Today!!!! Glad you made it back in one piece Dale. I hate shopping, especially this time of year. Just like you described, except there are a lot of RUDE fire ants in some of the stores around here. Nothing beats shopping online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
