ONE STOP SHOPPING
It seems like every store now is “Your place for one stop shopping.” There are very few stores that specialize in one thing anymore. Sure there’s “Just Mugs” and “Only Magnets”, but how often do you run out? When you go to one of these “one stop” stores, it’s hard to buy just one thing. You think you’re going in for a blouse and you walk out with a lawn mower, water heater, mini bike, bunk bed, trampoline, swing set, pup tent, jet ski, and a 50 pound economy sized jar of Marshmallow Fluff. “Boy did this save me time.”
They also have every service available. While you’re shopping you can get your hair cut, have your eyes examined, take a family portrait and rotate your tires. The only thing they don’t have is a bathroom that isn’t being mopped. Then there’s the 99 cent stores. You find things there that you never knew could cost only 99 cents. Like 99 cent underwear. You’re kind of thinking, “Why pay more? They’re 100% cotton.” Then you put them on and realize they didn’t go through the cotton gin. Underpants shouldn’t
give you slivers.

Hi Ellen,
Don't you think that this Presidential race may want to take into account the gay voters like myself who may tend to connect with a woman because of gender & gay rights issues. This is more than merely a black or white issue to me. As a young gay hiv positive dad in the middle of a discrimination case for rights you better believe that I'd side up with the female candidate more readily.
