Heart of the City by Steenz for August 23, 2009

What Heart met by that is those stores are still reminding her and Dean it’ll be time to go “Back To School” again.

I wish we still had time! ;)

Some schools, like mine, do not close. We go year around.

I LIKE this one….Walmart and others, start holidays WAY to early…..Christmans before Halloween is terrible.

My daughter works near a national park, and the early start of most schools anymore totally kills the tourism trade by mid-August. How’s a girl supposed to earn a living???

I understand folks displeasure with the holiday stuff being put in stores so far in advance of the actual holiday, but I feel the need to point out its not the stores requesting this stuff sent to them. All these stores, Wal-Mart, Target, K-Mart, ect.ect. have a ‘home office’ who decides what get shipped to them and when ~ and these folks look at the sell reports from the previous five years. Those sale reports show just how much of the products sell and when it sells.

If the consumer was not buying massive amounts of the holiday product within the first month of it being released in the store - then the companys would not push it out so soon.

“We” are to blame for having Christmas items in August.

Do you really believe that, Bacardii? I don’t ever recall requesting vast amounts of Halloween candy in August.

True that. Many companies work under the philosophy of “how will the customers know what they want (or when they want it) unless we tell them?”

You tell them, Heart !!

This makes me realize I’m way past my “Use By” date.

Okay. A cicada is –of what I read on WIkipedia– are almost like crickets or grasshoppers.

School has been in session here for two weeks. The 90 days of summer vacation I had as a child is long gone.

rerun but I’ll say it anyway: when they cry…
