I almost passed out. Who would pay that much money for a seven foot tree?

First of all, Mr. P.- thank you for notifying the pope although his holiness probably already got a memo from the Big Guy. <br />Who would buy these figurines and candles? No Man Lord is the main person who walks by here everyday and he doesn't even have enough money for running water. <br />Maybe I could sell Lloyd sourdough starter online. You think?

That's helpful and makes it less ridiculous. <br />I always talk to one of the employees there (Brenda- the woman with the beautiful mermaid make-up) and she told me that they have people who come in every day and maybe get one thing. It's their social life, I guess.

Too late for you I know, sorry.<br /><br />When my girlfriend was dying, the last time we saw her, she was telling us that she wanted to get a dog, the size of a turkey.
