Sears to sell Craftsman to Stanley/B&D

My wife wanted something from Wayfair. Price looked OK, but i checked Amazon. It was $20 less and shipped from Wayfair.

LOL, That is a unique smell created by a highly guarded secret.

Precisely and some people will pay extra just to avoid the HF store smell.. ;~)

Rockler and Woodcraft do this too. ;~)

It all depends on the location and the competition if you are over saturated. IIRC in the Houston are there are only 5 large Sears stores left. IMHO that is too many as the 3 closest to me are pretty much empty every time I go in. BUT In Houston there are also many like alternatives. Macy's, JCP and none seem to be doing enough business to remain open. So that sector in the Houston is overly saturated. Not to mention that there are probably thousands of strip centers in the Houston metro area that offer almost the same thing as the department stores like Sears.

I get BB&B 20% coupons every day through e-mail and the only limitation I have run into is that the coupon is good for one item per coupon, most of the time.

You think? LOL In the south we do not relish going from from store in

I do see the mall as being a benefit when there is snow on the ground. FWIW it was 19 degrees here this morning, while a norm for you northern folks, you probably were not at 84 degrees earlier in the week or expecting to be back near 80 on Wednesday. That is about a 120 degree temp swing in a week.

Ikwa is not designed for the customer to walk in, go straight to what he wants, and straight to the registers. Ikea's here pretty much force you to walk through the whole store, a very convoluted path to get out.

Sizes aren't standard. Maybe they are in certain sizes, but they are most definitely not standardized in the length my foot is. It is all across the board: one 9 boot was too long, but a 10 from another company is correct. A 9.5 shoe is also right. Oh, and I've got a 10 from the same company that's also the same length as the 9.5.

All I want is a system that's consistent or at the very least based upon measuring the foot at key points so I can measure those key points on my feet and buy a pair of shoes without the whole "will it fit?" game.

I've never found that variation. I'd been wearing the same size, 10 1/2

You also have to consider manufacturing tolerance and your normal body variation during the day. A 1/8" variation is not out of the question.

I have seen the size differences. I wear a 12. In a Nacona boot, a 10 1/2

Not many. They are not THAT "old".

That only works if you are just down the road from an Amazon warehouse. They'd need a cruise missile to get a printer to me in 2 hours. I can usually count on 3 days for a "fast" delivery if it is coming from Canada - a week if it has to cross the border.

Correct, it's different for different areas. Keep in mind, though, that the way Amazon is expanding, a year or two from now you might have the same experience that we do.

Mostly because of Asians. Ideographic languages like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, with thousands of characters, don't lend themselves to being typed into emails. So "hand written then faxed" messages remained the norm there until quite recently.

Nah, once they open the box their house will have the same smell.

An attorney friend mentioned to me, about 18 years ago, that FAX was the only form of electronic document transfer that was recognized as acceptable in the American Law system.

The Comcast DVR I had for the short time I was in an appartment was the same.

All of our hardware is new. They just installed the fiber a couple of years ago and just allowed us to connect in '16. All of our hardware has been replaced (some of it, twice) since then, too.

They've been in the house at least six times in the eight months, or so, that we've had the service. Most of the problems didn't relate to the Internet but everything was new and has been replaced at least once.

That's what I've found.

We only get hem once a month or so, perhaps beause they usually go unused,
