pbrown Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Here's something to give y'all a little bit of a laugh. Did you know that February was National Return Shopping Carts to the Supermarket Month??? No kidding. Here's a related article and a link. I found the link to the blog interesting. America — Wednesday, February 21st. We’ve all seen them and wondered how they got there — a supermarket shopping cart, sitting forlornly along a residential street, far from the nearest grocery store. Was it a prank, or someone who walked to the store and bought more than they could carry? Either way, this is Return Shopping Carts to the Supermarket Month — including milk crates and bread trays. The idea is for consumers to avoid the increased food prices that result when store owners have to replace stolen equipment. And supermarkets play a big role in everyday life. There are more than 6,600 supermarkets across the nation, selling $395 billion of groceries each year. You can find these and more facts about America from the U.S. Census Bureau on the Web at <www.census.gov>. Shopping Carts Blog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbrown64 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 I'm sorry, but what does this have to do with the Leclair/Mr. P issue? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "NOTHING".....This is an open board that isn't restricted to one topic of conversation correct? You have a choice. You can read what I posted or not. Since you apparently read the post, I hope that it made you chuckle just a bit. Have a great day!!!!

Strife767 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 I'm sorry, but what does this have to do with the Leclair/Mr. P issue? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Either this is clever satire (doubtful considering you spelled Matthew/Paul's last name wrong), or pure obliviousness. This particular forum is about happenings in Kearny (I'm guessing national events apply since Kearny is part of the nation *chuckles*), of which the KHS issue(s) is but one.

Guest Guest Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 I'm sorry, but what does this have to do with the Leclair/Mr. P issue? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm sorry, but, Kearny on the Web was not created for the sole use of the LeClairs. This site had been established for a couple of years, for the people of Kearny,........ unless of course you're being sarcastic,..... which made me laugh!

pbrown64 Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I don't mind reading about the La Clairs or Mr. P., and I actually enjoy reading the opinions of all posters on this board, whether I agree or not. In posting the shopping cart tidbit, I thought it would be a nice change to post something a bit on the lighter side. I don't know about all of you, but on occasion I need a little break from the heavy stuff. I certainly can't speak for Paul La Clair, Mr. P, Strife767, Dingo Dave, Bryan, Keith-Marshall,MO, guest, guest, or guest, but I'm sure they all like a silly laugh once in awhile too. You all have a great day! Patty Brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
