Did anyone have the opportunity to watch the opening ceremonies last night? I thought they were magnificant. The synchronization and costumes were unbelievable. 15,000 participants and not one a repeat performer.

$3 BILLION dollars to create such a beautiful set up for the Olympics = YOUR hard earned taxed dollars at work.
Thank you Walmart.

Totally off topic, but since you brought it up - I'm proud to say that so far, I've spent less that 1% of the money I did last year at Wal-Mart. My quality of life is better for it and my pocketbook seems to be as well.

Trina - That's actually why I said "YOUR".
Personally (and this is MY opinion only)...I can't stand that place. I don't like the feeling of "shopping" in a warehouse. I haven't shopped at any of the locations in about two years. I really wish we had a Target. In my opinion, Target is cleaner, a nicer layout, the employees seem happy and the fruits and vegetables aren't bruised. I too have saved quite a bit of money by not shopping at the "W".
In fact, have you ever checked out the packaged meat there? There's 20% water solution added to them to help them freeze faster and stay frozen longer! If the sticker says you're paying $5.00 per pound, you're ACTUALLY paying $6.00 a pound!!! THAT is slick marketing.

I like Target, but I get most of my needs met in Oak Ridge - Kroger, K-Mart, Mickey's, UGO, etc.

That's why we call it "Walmeat". Their meats and produce suck. That reminds me, I left of J&M's. Can't always afford to shop there, but do when I can. Their filets are the BOMB! Better than any steak house I've ever been to.

Yeah, I'll stay up to watch that one too.
China's men are really going to town in the gymnastics. I heard on television that they start training at three years old...wow. They are all about balance and form.

So the chat is about. They used a little girl lip sync the national anthem, perhaps they should have hired Millie Vanilli.
