Big Box Dilemma
 
As some of you readers may know I am a Costco fanatic. However, after reading about Big Box Business and their evil plans to take over the world, I feel torn for my love of Costco and my desire to promote independent local businesses. 

Here are some others who are addicted to Costco….

I think I have found a compromise, prepper foods from Costco and all other foods from the local Maple Valley Market and Foley’s. Not sure about my hygiene products…. Does the Market have the shampoo I like? To be continued….

Wildlife Wednesday: The Very First Geocache!

by in Geocaching, Wildlife Wednesdays

The APE is found in the rugged, snow-capped Cascade Mountains, just a short drive from Seattle, where you can walk through the spooky 2-mile-long Tunnel of Light, find one of the oldest caches in Washington, and visit the APE tribute cache. Plus, we hear that Sasquatch and Fen Dweller have been sighted in the area – so watch out!

It’s difficult to categorize anyone by any one “type” but if anyone displays extremities of any of these guys-to-avoid then yeah you should watch out. Sometimes some guys might display some of these signs but it doesn’t necessarily mean they are avoidable at all costs. Just think what a ‘guy’ might think reading this article, “Oh no, I can’t stay in ever, we have to always go out or she’ll ditch me.” I would think that most guys who may be like any of these guys-to-avoid, if they at all are trying would attempt to NOT display these characteristics, at least at first, to hook you in. Once you’re in, they start to settle into their original personalities and it is at that point that you can see them for who they truly are.
