Hey!! K-Mart is a bloody good store over here.


I know it's 'tarnished' over there....... in '94 I wanted to go shopping
for something or other, and I said to the female at that time.......
"There's a K-Mart, let's go there."


She said.... "No. We're not going there. That's where the Mexicans
shop."

Glad it worked out for you without escalating into a physical
confrontation. I try to pay attention to what's going on around me and
not let strange people get too close. Locally, the IPOD and headphones
thing strikes me as particularly idiotic. The fact that you're
exercising doesn't excuse you from maintaining some awareness of your
surroundings. If you're going to deafen yourself at least keep a
heads-up posture - for god's sake, don't stump along staring at your feet.

Congratulations again!

Yes I totally agree especially idiotic to be biking along with ear
phones! I see a person do that several times a week- along our little
highway. I honestly think "Death Wish".

I once read in the New Yorker about people walking through a hard part
of DC. It may have been an experiment, but what I took away form the
story was that, walk along as if you own the place --not sashaying or
anything. Shoulders up, head up etc.

Thanks again Kathleen.

Wishing you the best always

Might have been that particular neighborhood you were traveling
through at the time. OTOH, some of the places with the best prices
are frequented by immigrants. OTTH (on the third hand), I no longer
shop there since Sears bought them out. Sears snubbed me when I was
just starting out and trying to establish credit, so I snub them.

Without more information, I won't say your friend is a snob. You and

I'm a very staunch advocate of WCCWs.


Women Carrying Concealed Weapons.


'drugged out guy, standing 2" from your nose, ranting and raving'???

The prick should have gained about 2oz of (lead) weight, and died.


Kathleen......... I was very privileged during the late 80's to be
invited to become an instructor of a very exclusive club in Perth,
Western Australia.

It was a female only club, and all the members of the 'club' had been
(at some stage) subjected to violence, and in most cases, rape.

It took a long while for them to accept me (I had initially sent my then
partner along for training because she was going back to Queensland by
herself) but after they did, I taught them the most dirtiest, most
lethal, most damaging methods of 'staying alive'.

To see the outcome from at the end of the course, was a very satisfying
time of my life.

Not travelling through. We were living in Venice Beach. The K-Mart was in
Del Ray (IIRC)
it was 5mins by motor bike from Venice, anyway.

My feelings exactly.

The orginisation I work for has been banking with the same bank for 15+
years.

Of late their attitude has been "*What* do you want?" and stonewalling us
when we try to organise things over the phone.

I warned them that they were going to lose our business. Their answer was
"If that's what you want to do...".

several members of our committee (myself included) are about to go in and
close our accounts with them and transfer the money to accounts we have
opened at another business.

They just lost $500k+ pa worth of business because their people don't give
a shit over the phone.

Every wannabe lawyer thinks they're the hottest badass on the planet.
So this just makes you mediocre and typical, at best.

It still doesn't explain how Wayne knows this. I suspect it was just

When I first moved to Raleigh the lack of diversity flipped me out.
The only hispanics were out in surrounding rural areas, mostly migrant
workers. When I saw my first hispanic guy with a leaf blower inside'
city limits, I knew we were on our way to being a real city.

I don't do K-mart or WalMart, but I do remember the last time I was in
either the clothing was horrible. A year or so ago Walmart made an
attempt at a more fashion conscious clothing line and fell on their
face. I was listening to a financial show and the annalists basically
said the clients of Walmart doesn't want or care about fashion or
quality. They're only interested in "body coverings." I think k-mart
is even worse. But I'd shop there before I gave walmart one cent of
my money.

Yeah, what they said.

I think you handled yourself perfectly well, and am glad you came out of
the situation safely.

So they make a big song and dance of it with snorkels and gloves so
women will go "oh for god's sake I'll do it" and then they're off the
hook. And we're fools to let them.

I've got age and experience but I was proud of my teenaged daughter at
the Ren Faire this past weekend. We were visiting the Fairies' camp
down in the deep woods. I was across the clearing from her, buying some
earrings, when a middle-aged man, a playtron, not an actor, approached
her with a cheery, "Hi".

<Momdar activated. Targeting engaged.>

She replied with a cool, "Hallo", then frowned and faded back a couple
of steps as he advanced. "I like your hat", he said (she was dressed to
head out to the stable after the Faire). "Uh huh", she replied,
neutrally, moving back again as he advanced. "So where are you going
after this?", he asked, stepping forward again, and with that she caught
the arm of a passing pirate, a big guy, and said, pointing, "Your
pardon, kind sir, but yon vartlet (sic) is weirding me out."

At that point I'd gotten around to where I could see the guy's face and
realized that he was the father of one of my daughter's riding students,
a man she'd seen only once as a silhouette in a car as he'd dropped the
child off for a riding lesson (her mother usually brought her).

I knew him because my son and his daughter had been on a Destination
Imagination team together.

And he knew my daughter on sight because of the framed picture of my
daughter and his on their horses, wearing matching hats and broad grins,
that hangs in their living room.

I made explanations, smoothed things over. The pirate, punchy with the
heat, wound up leaning against a tree giggling and muttering, "Oh,
forsooth".

She handled it just right, given the circumstances. Act like a creep,
get treated like one. The guy in question was more than a little bit of
an idiot, all things considered. I wonder what he'd have thought
observing the same situation with *his* daughter in my own's position.

Quite frankly, he's lucky the encounter didn't occur in a scarier, more
isolated situation where she might have felt compelled to neutralize the
threat on her own had he failed to back the hell off.

I strongly recommend the book "The Gift of Fear: Survival Signals That
Protect Us From Violence" by Gavin de Becker. An excellent guide to
determining exactly what situations, what signals, require our attention
and vigilance rather than promoting generalized paranoia, and how to
deal decisively and effectively with those situations. Goes well
beyond, "scream and kick him in the nuts".
