An admirable sentiment. But I'm not a shopper .... unlike my sister
and my ex-wife. They'd go into stores "shopping" with no intention of buying a single item. To them "shopping" meant nosing around.

If I have a need I check price and availability, go to the store, get
my item(s), pay up and go home. In store marketing displays/clever placements have scant effect on me.

Depends on the store/need. I'll be in/out of a hardware or auto parts store fast but take my time and browse a craft or fabric store. Grocery stores--if it's a new one to me or one I'm not in very often, I'll
browse. If it's one I've been in many times and I'm in a hurry, it's in and out, quick. Wegman's--browse.

Not how I do things at all. Maybe it's a guy thing. I known the layouts
of the stores I frequent so I don't have to browse. Hy-Vee has what I
think is a great deal (now being copied by Meijer) - if you buy a minimum amount (U$30) they will pick your order and have it ready for you at a specified time. I drive in, a minion comes to my car and asks my name.
Then s/he loads the items into my vehicle and I'm off. Sort of Wham, Bam,

If you buy U$100 worth they'll deliver to your house. That may be a big
reason they were the #2 stupormarkup chain in that survey list I posted.

I saw the movie, after it came out on DVD. The Doors did the music sound track--mostly late 60s/early 70s music, songs I grew up with.

I like to browse stores I'm not familiar with, just to get an idea of
what they have to offer. Wegman's, being so big and carrying a wide

We've yet to try a delivery service. Closest we've come was in Berlin
where the commissary had a delivery concession--you took the stuff you
bought to them (in the same building) and they handled getting it to you
for a fee. Really nice when our elevator was out for replacement (it
took several months to do the job); we lived on the 7th floor.

Alan Silvestri did the sound track. And used a nember of different artists

Hi Dave,

Same as "Forrest Gump" is a lot better as a movie than the book.

I saw the movie, after it came out on DVD. The Doors did the music

And, as you say, all pretty familiar - except the Silvestri stuff
written just for the flick.

Which was in keeping with the general music of the times. There's a
scene filmed in a seafood restaurant, supposedly the one Forrest and Lt.
Dan started in memory of one of the members of their Viet Nam platoon.
When we new to Savannah, we went to a new to us seafood place, found out
that it was the one used in the film. Had a good meal that night, went
back a few months later--they must have had a different cook as the meal
wasn't as good. We went several more times while stationed in GA;
usually the meal was back to the higher quality we had the first time.
That first time we decided to eat outside as it was a warm night--found
out that the porch also hosted a number of cats who liked to get hand
outs (and petting) from guests. They didn't get any food from us but did
get attention between courses.

On The Road Again Written and Performed by Willie Nelson

Basically a soundtrack that I could listen to--and understand the words,
unlike some of what is called "music" these days. (G)
