get a walmart gift card. they are not going ANYWHERE i promise, walmart will be the only store available someday, and Taco Bell will be the only restaurant.
but yes, don't buy plastic from some other, less stable companies. good wanrning, thanks for the advice, i never considered this before.

I think Walmart is one of the reasons that the economy doesn't do so well. The last thing we need is for everyone to spend at a store that uses child labor and imports cheap products from China.

thanks for saying that. It reminds me that I wanted to say that the best thing to do right now is buy a gift from the mom and pop places.
I support them every chance I get, even if it means paying more.

yea, well that is easy enough to say. where i live "town" is 30 minutes away. unfortunately i would spend WAY more money on gas if i also had to run around to 4 or 5 different stores once i got to town instead of going to walmart. i feel bad for those with small busnisses, but someone who has no money to spare such as myself doesn't have the ability to shop at their stores. if i had more money and time, yes i would spend my dollar at smaller more personal establishments, but i just can't do that at this time.

I bought a tree in Siberia, but after a dispute with Russian authorities as to whether or not I had the legal rights to any squirrels that may reside in said tree. They confiscated it, and the squirrels, and sold it at premium to the next American looking to sell Siberian Trees as a Christmas present.

The did offer to let me rent a small pine in the Urals but it just wasn't the same....
