2. I'm not buying anything but the bare essentials, and a few gifts
from ebay, the world's biggest garage sale!

4. Never bought anything from them anyway
(although, I recently saw a commercial for some sweaters at Old Navy that looked pretty). I always like to buy from the small businesses or Target if I am having a poor year. This year it will be all internet shopping due to illness.

Any good suggestions for internet shopping, something unusual or not well known? (besides ebay -- I already know about that one!)

7. Better And Cheaper, CHECK IT OUT!
American Apparel, here in LA, has great underwear, T-shirts, jackets and sweats made right here in the city of the angels on a strict ANTI-SWEATSHOP agenda.

Everyone makes at least $10 an hour; everyone has health care and the stuff is so cute. Bought some for my girls for Xmas.

Check out the progressive living forum for many more ideas to feed the lamb, starve the beast!

PS -- bought some really cute stocking stuffers ant Dem-friendly Barnes & Nobles; little Xmas books, bookmarks & gift certificates for the kids.qq

11. Care to explain why? Maybe a link?
What seems to be your problem with the Fisher Family?

Please elaborate for those of us who aren't in the know...
