Ah that sucks. My bad. =( As an introvert I'm thankful that I can get things delivered to my doorstep, however I don't like that by doing so I'm killing small businesses.
Yeah, it's a tough situation.
There are a lot of older folks living in this area who refuse to shop online, they keep mentioning that to me whenever they come into our shop and see the liquidation signs.

The thing in the city though is that there just aren't many small businesses to begin with. The big name stores always strangle them out immediately. =/ So I can go to Walmart or I can shop on Amazon.
Yeah, that's basically what is going to be left in the world. Walmart takes over everyone.

I think I go to specialty stores for fabric and craft supplies that's about it these days.
...and thrift stores. XD

Walmart has always been one of the stores I want to boycott, but I always seem to end up at, anyway x.x
Thrift stores are always awesome! Some wonderful treasures can be found there!
There are also a lot of amazing yard sales in this area! I love it!
Yeah, it's a curse and a convenience all in one.

Like, it's 3am and you need sprite, a pack of batteries, and some fabric softener. Don't ask me why you need these things, you just do. Where are you going to go? =/
lol, very true.
We went at 11 pm last night for some things ourselves.
I was wanting tortilla chips to dip in cheese.

actually, I just realized that Winco could actually replace Walmart for me, lol
not totally 100% sure on that, though
@vintage: I'm dying ; ^ ;
I don't know if I can keep this up... x.x
Never heard of that one.
Might not have it around here.

Extracting the art part of that convo, remember that mistakes are opportunities to be creative. =D
Personally I get really creeped out about dead things, but I also know that there are a lot of people willing to spend hella bank for stuff like that. I also think that salvaging those things from the woods is a great way to do it. Not like the animals need them now.

i just made a playlist because lazy
but not lazy enough that i didn't spare myself the effort of making it in the first place
spotify
sorry if it sucks lmao

np c:
super curious to know which ones x)
My dislike of dead things is more of a necrophobia situation, but from a purely theoretical standpoint I find it poetic giving new life to things that are dead.
