Add, run down POS car to that, and you've described my sister. I get to buy the parts and do the work.......Lucky me. The last round was motor mounts.

Social Security Benefits
For all Social Security beneficiaries receiving benefits prior to May 1997 3rd of the month
(unless earlier)**

For all Social Security beneficiaries receiving benefits after April 1997
Second Wednesday
If birth date on 1st - 10th
Third Wednesday
If birth date on 11th - 20th
Fourth Wednesday
If birth date on 21st - 31st

Thus, my local grocery store is packed with people usually on Tuesdays. I seem to recall that other entitlement checks are spread out more than they once were.
Welfare pays out on the 15th and 30th, just like the millitary paychecks. 'Round here, we have plenty of both.

It's the Occupy Wal Mart movement

I had to run to Harbor Freight Friday, all the way 'cross town, I was amazed, it was a snap. The amateur drivers make me crazy though.

I need to wear blinders in that store.

you take your shopping seriously

I have only had to face crowds in the supermarket before holidays and snowstorms. Maybe around here that is when they send the government checks?

Yep, I also plan my route so that everything is a right turn. All of this coupled with the 6:00-9:00AM and 3:00-7:00PM commuter traffic here in SD and I'm left with only a six hour shopping window a couple of days a week.

Goddamn, we must be two peas in a pod.

I plan my route so that everything is a right turn as well. It's less dangerous.

In traffic as well as politics!!!
