It seems nicer and less garish and there are far less shrieking employess on the P.A. Some Wal-Marts are better than others. There was one in Tampa that my husband and I not so affectionately dubbed "Ghetto Wal-Mart." It was exactly as you described and we hated going there. I don't mind the super Wal-Marts in nice suburbs. To answer Meghans question, no there are no Wal-Marts in Tokyo. At least none that I've seen.Lady Wanderlusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14776544530807096284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18879154.post-49686717194515993862007-05-02T12:46:00.000-04:002007-05-02T12:46:00.000-04:00i hate LOATHE DETEST walmart. and i've avoided it ...i hate LOATHE DETEST walmart. and i've avoided it quite well in teh past 2 years. i've only been twice and ONLY cuz matt made me and both times i thought i'd hyperventilate in there! i hate it! its so gross...so unorganized...so disgusting...i could go on and on about it. i'm with yaBecky at lifeoutoffocushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08281237800161723776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18879154.post-60384066446943874312007-05-02T08:29:00.000-04:002007-05-02T08:29:00.000-04:00You are selling TOBY coz you need money that's bad...You are selling TOBY coz you need money that's bad virginia always thought you to be made up of better moral fiber <BR/><BR/>get a PT bitch :P<BR/><BR/>and why do you hate wally so much , I wouldn't know coz they aren't in my country YET !!crackfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15245638671391196228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18879154.post-41598641388958128212007-05-01T21:08:00.000-04:002007-05-01T21:08:00.000-04:00hey whore.. you can't sell your dog cause you need...hey whore.. you can't sell your dog cause you need money!!!!! i mean, at least sell him for drugs or something. lol poor dog. does he know you stopped loving him? bwhahahaj.sterlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07704830625784773198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18879154.post-66112120168816198982007-05-01T19:31:00.000-04:002007-05-01T19:31:00.000-04:00Let's see, this got me so excited, I don't even kn...Let's see, this got me so excited, I don't even know where to start...<BR/><BR/>I hate Walmart too! You pretty much summed up the reasons!<BR/><BR/>I agree with the people who posted above me. Cut back where you can because it is SOOOO worth it to live alone! I lived alone since college, then bought my house last year and feel like I am living at the same comfort level, go out the same, buy clothes still. I was like "What the hell was I doing with that $500 that was added from my rent to my mortgage?" Because I don't really feel like I'm living less.<BR/><BR/>And last, I LOVE Craigslist...wait...not to meet people, but to read. The people on it are too freaking stupid to breathe. I love the missed connections, these people are like "You looked at me? Was there something there?" It cracks me up! And the rants and raves! Good Lord, that makes for an entertaining mid day break. I've had good experiences though with it. I wanted to get rid of my couch before I moved, and was buying a new one when I moved into my house. I lived on the 3rd floor and didn't want to deal...I posted it for free as long as they came and took it away. Two really cute boys came (I had a friend over with me - didn't want to be alone -same fear of pychos) and we actually ended up all going out for drinks afterwards! It was fun! And I answered to this woman's post for tickets once. Totally non-sketch, picked them up at her work, face value. But those are completely different than living with a complete stranger. Hope your friend works out in July.<BR/><BR/>Ok, why do I always feel like I leave the LONGEST comments!?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18879154.post-30815728555487221662007-05-01T19:14:00.000-04:002007-05-01T19:14:00.000-04:00Craig's List is hit or miss.

I finally found a place last month and after living with these 2 girls I want to shoot them! One is anti-social and the other is SHADY! She's trying to take over the lease on her own when it's up in July and have me sublet from her. Wtf?? You don't own this shit! <BR/><BR/>If I didn't have such hefty student loans, I would def opt for the PT job and go it alone! At least hold out for a friend, someone you can trust....Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406267232279325090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18879154.post-23375691255093557342007-05-01T18:36:00.000-04:002007-05-01T18:36:00.000-04:00Do you have a Target nearby?

If I wasnt running a zoo of my own, I'd adopt him VB!<BR/><BR/>It never ceases to amaze me that no matter where you go north south east tokyo (do they have walmarts in tokyo?) that Walmart is the same gross place. I stopped going there. When i first moved out of mom and dads I used to go, but now i realized that Im worth the extra $20-$30 I will spend at a regular grocery store. Why do strange, dirty people tend to congregate at Wally World? What is it about Walmart that lures them there? The free food samples from the granola lady perhaps? Not sure. I just know that I need to stay out of their for my, as well as others physical and mental well being. I have experienced one good Walmart though. The one up my Penn State. Now that was a Walmart I could stand to go to.<BR/><BR/>I think you will be fine with having the place to yourself. I say give it a month and see how your bills are. If your handling them fine, then good. If not I would get a part time job. I dont think I could live with privacy man, or creepy old dude. <BR/><BR/>But I'll make you a deal. Find me a job in PR, I can move down and we can be roommates! Whoopie! But I have to make it perfectly clear that I dont "mosey" like you people do down there, I "hurry the hell up." hehe.Meghan (The Declaration of MY Independence)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08437426078664351801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18879154.post-35338051854264251992007-05-01T14:21:00.000-04:002007-05-01T14:21:00.000-04:00Hope you dont have to sell Toby...As for the livin...Hope you dont have to sell Toby...<BR/><BR/>As for the living situation, always meet the person (of course!) before you agree to anything. That, and I think that a student might be good choice.
