I'm glad that everything is closed today for us non-religious individuals...

Wegman's, Lowe's, Target...

I had a list of things that I usually do on Sunday's to accomplish; I guess that's been thrown to the wind.

I guess I'll go fishing!

That's what I'm doing.

EDIT: also, Guitar Center assures me they're open, so there's something to do during the wait.

nothing seems to stop commerce around here .Christmas used to be quiet now it's people searching for a riot over saving 3 bucks on an Xbox .

Fishing always sounds like a good idea.

but I work as a cashier at a grocery store chain (which was not closed today) working a 9:30 AM to 5:15 PM shift. The only holiday we close for is Christmas, we close early on Christmas eve and Thanksgiving.

I'm so sorry that you begrudge one day (probably unpaid for non-union) for people to spend with their families and friends, or even just to go fishing...

I was having a bad day, and having my father ram his guilt trip down my throat didn't help eirher...

I understand that tolerance among opinions is necessary and I failed to demonstrate that yesterday.

I hope that thia can be forgiven and we can move forward.
