Yes, it is. We avoid shopping on weekends as it gets crowded. Meals
are when we get hungry. Life unstructured!

Several years ago I went to Walmart on a Saturday; don't know what it was that
I desperately needed as I avoid week-end shopping of any sort. But good grief,
the store was JAM PACKED; children of all ages and what seemed to be bus loads
of them. It dawned on me that it was 2 weeks before school started and they
were all there with their parents buying school supplies. Tax-free week-end
also ensured the stores would be mobbed.

It would take a heavenly command for me to shop week-ends now as I limit it
to Monday-Friday. Always several people in the stores but there are not mobs
of them during the week.

The only 'person' around here that wants me up by 9:00 is Pema, the cat. She
doesn't always get her way.

Same here, Ed. I never shop on weekends. Only on weekdays early
when stores NEVER get crowded. Also meals here are rarely
planned. I often cook whatever sounds good at the time.

And for those that complain about weekend shopping and so
crowded? Try going at 6-7am when stores are almost empty. Stop
being a lazy, sleepy turd and get out early. Get your shopping
over long before the rest of the cattle show up to overcrowd any
stores.

Don't you pick up women in supermarkets? You should go when they're
more crowded or you'll never get further than ferrets!

Maybe you remember me saying that from years ago. Rather than
being stuck at home in evenings for many years with young
daughter, I would often take her to the beach on my bike, or to
the mall, or just to a grocery store.

Grocery store plan (and it worked well too) was to go grocery
shopping around 7pm on Fridays or Saturdays. Why then? Met many
single unattached women at that time. No dates planned so they
just go grocery shopping to get out of the house....just like me.

Same thing with evenings at the mall and on bike at the beach.

I so loved raising my girl on my own but I didn't want to
sacrifice all my prime years staying home every night. I found
ways to get out and meet people and bring her with me. It was
good times.
