I have already committed to a shopping trip there either this week or next for holiday/seasonal decorations.  I need stuff for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.  :)

Now is the time to buy for Christmas!  I can't go in there, I will go all crazy again.  I am not decorating, as I will be out of town.  Well, maybe a little bit.

Swing by Chick fil A on the way to and fro. I have gone out of my way to frequent them recently.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

The only Chik-fil-A in this neighborhood is over by the Hobby Lobby.  I could kill two birds with one stone.
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

Let us know how the traffic/parking lot is.  At the linked article, someone was sneering on Facebook "gee the parking lot looked empty, I think the boycott is working."

This time of year, the parking lot is never empty at the Hobby Lobby.  Unless it is Sunday, of course.

You can buy a gallon of Chick fil A's diet lemonade for $10. It's realllly good. Made from fresh lemons and very tart.

I've been hitting there more often since all the uproar.

Might have to make a HL visit for some Halloween decoration additions.  :whistling:
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.
