    This may just scare me off from ever shopping at IKEA (which is something I haven’t done, so far).

    ….what’s the name of the Woman Who’s ostensibly normal, aside from hanging with these Winners?

    …andyways, whilst She’s flipping Latkes, or something, The Boys can enjoy a delicious Cereal from an assortment:

    …each part of a balanced, nutritious Breakfast!

    Sisyphos – you gotta go to IKEA, if just to have the great Swedish meatballs in the restaurant.

    I can get lost at Bed Bath and Beyond…
    I’d need an entourage of Sherpas to attempt Ikea.

    This close to Christmas, there’s the danger of coming across a gingerbread house.

    Oh, I just bring a Sharpie along and leave helpful marks on the display items as I walk along. Some people call it vandalism, I just call it marking my trail…

    Reminds me of losing track of my wife in a clothing store. She’s 5’2" and all the racks are 5’4".

    LOL I wonder which Ikea Mr. Meddick shops at.

    I heard the meatballs are good! We have an IKEA opening up here in Winnipeg in Nov. (supposedly the biggest in North America…). What do you guys recommend? Ratings on the joint?

    If there’s no lingenberry compote, forget it.

    The first thing is not to go the first few weeks the store is open; it’ll be crazy crowded. The IKEA stores are huge, and it sounds like yours in Winnipeg is going to be ginormous, so wear comfortable shoes. And as in today’s Monty, it’s easy enough to get lost, so pick up a floor-plan map as you come in. Arrows on the floor will guide you thru the store, but the map also shows shortcuts. Furniture is of varying quality but nice design, but much of it you have to assemble yourself. The area called Marketplace has tons of home and decorator items of nice design at good prices. The cafe is where you score the meatball platter. As you exit after the registers there’s also a snack bar with excellent prices on hot dogs, ice cream, cinnamon rolls, etc. Enjoy. And, no, I don’t work for IKEA, although I’ve been shopping there – and enjoying the meatballs – for over 30 years.
