How do you judge the world?

I think Menard's depends on location. We have two branches, west and east Sioux Falls. I use the eastside store and love them. Went to the westside store once and will never go back.

Have to mention that I have not been to Home Depot since I moved to the Midwest.

Funny story, when my niece and her husband were vacationing here, we were having a conversation over dinner about a few little jobs I needed to have done around the house. The hubby said "Let's go get the materials". I took him to Menard's, and he spent the whole week looking for more honey-do jobs around the house, so he could have an excuse to go to Menard's.

I was dazzled as well the first time I shopped at Menards.

I like that Home Depot's lumber is inside, and they will custom cut lumber and plywood. Also, custom cut and thread pipe at no cost.

I don’t judge the world based on my own pet peeves. The shopping cart issue doesn’t serve as a moral value system for the entire world.


Anyone can learn from early childhood to return shopping carts—just consider whether you’d want one to hit the car you spent four years saving for. Usually, when you work hard for something, you treat it well, and by extension, you respect what others own—unless you’re simply wired differently.


I find it interesting that some people believe eliminating half the population solves anything.


I judge the world using a long list of criteria. In short, I ask:

1. Do you take care of yourself financially and emotionally?
2. Can you be happy alone, or do you need things to make you happy?
3. Do you respect the struggles of those who came before you?
4. Do you let others’ actions define who you are?

There are certainly a host of other criteria, but I just don't feel like typing them all out at the moment as I'm working on a coding project so this will have to do for now.

But the shopping cart analogy is so much more fun to talk about.....Much better than getting bogged down in other's two-bit opinions.

Blah, blah, blah.....But the shopping cart analogy is so much more fun to talk about.

Kinda true. It's more fun to talk about shopping carts and home improvement stores than politics.

Although, if pet peeves are the subject, it does make me a little nuts to see the lazy f**k who can't be bothered to walk 30 feet to deposit the cart where it belongs.

The shopping cart analogy convicts all classes of people. It's a very reliable indicator of society as a whole.

Returning a shopping cart or not amounts to others two-bit opinions.

Returning a shopping cart or not amounts to others two-bit opinions.

But it's not as boring.

If you followed these people home, you would find that their lives are probably in complete disarray. Making or adding to the mess in the cart corrals is just natural to their way of thinking.

You'll find that they are wired wrong or are the product of a poor upbringing or have always had other people pay for their stuff.

I like the way it was done in UK. You don't get the use of a "trolley" unless you stick a pound coin into a slot, which releases it from a chain. Then, if you want your pound back, you must park the trolley in line and engage the chain, at which time, the pound pops out.

Maybe this could work at WalMart and give us a use for those Sacajawea dollar coins.

If the nonexistent cart maintenance crew can't keep the wheels rolling straight, I can't see the coin boxes working for very long.
