LtS, You made me break out in (hysterical *BG*) fits of laughter with the crescendo of your rant... You been listening to the gossimarketers 'bout me? Just add pedephilic stalking crazy psycho killer, and my 'small town rep' just begins to bear fruit! Nothin does it for ya like intentional solidude! ?;^) Poor bored paranoid people... and so alienated from their own cruelties...

leprechaun... your story sounds totally true, sadly... it's strange that the honest are worrying about their buying habits being common knowledge... (btw-the checkers do 9talk ya know)...while the creeps get protection...

I got my local grocery card last week, and saved 58 cents right then! Since I only shop there for a few of their (cheapest in town) essentials, I will save even more... When I expressed my concerns about the responsibility inherent in the application form, the clerk (who through body language communicated "yeh yeh, I know... you and everybody else") told me to just put a name and phone number... seems the shopping info is important even without the identification process...

Paranioa is delusion, caution is safety, correct is love... ttr
