Re: Off Topic 2011

Best Buy does a very good job at product placement. I am so glad they don't have one in my state, I spent way too much money there when I lived in the midwest. I would walk in to get one thing but by the time I left the store, end up buying 4 or 5 other things as well just by walking to the register.

Sounds like my mom when she goes to Sam's Club. She goes to buy only a couple things but somehow invariably ends up spending $100+. It's no wonder she hates going there.

I'm usually pretty good at avoiding buying unnecessary stuff, I'll admit I'll stand there for about 5 min going back and forth in my head whether to buy it or not tho.

No Best Buy in Vermont? Wow....

I usually target shop that is, I know exactly what I want when I go shopping and try my damndest not to buy anything else. Sometimes it turns into the best laid plans of mice and men though....

As for energy drinks, i've never touched em.

Re: Off Topic 2011

Energy drinks do nothing for me.

And when I shop alone, Im out in 10 mins. If im with a friend its 20 mins, a girl 2-3 hours. WTF is with these women shoppers.

Re: Off Topic 2011

I have to have a list when I go shopping or I'll browse every aisle and spend at least twice as much as I wanted.

Re: Off Topic 2011

Went to Best Buy to buy a new pair of in-ear headphones. Was going to look for a good, but relatively cheap, pair...but they have the Bose in-ear headphones on display in the aisle. I've had these once before and they are probably my favorite headphones of all time, so I figured it was a sign. Bought them.

Then, as I'm walking to the register, they have the LOTR Blu Ray extender's collection on display. I need more Blu Rays and I don't have the extended editions on DVD....so I buy it.

**** you, Best Buy.

I forgot the blus came out this week. Thankfully I pre-ordered from Amazon. How much did BB have them for?

Edit: I just realized this weekend is a three day weekend. Woo woo.

Re: Off Topic 2011

I hit the gym today, so I could be free for a few margaritas tonight.

I must say, It's so much less crowded during the day. I was able to hit every machine without having to wait or work around to kill some time.

I was able to get in and out within an hour and still work abs, traps, do the 5k on the bike and still work legs today, since I missed yesterday.

Good stuff!

You actually have one in Williston. It's store 360. I think Vermont and Montana are the only two states with two or fewer stores. Every other state has at least three I believe.

I usually go at 430am. Place is always dead, even during the New Year.

How long do you usually stay? An hour is plenty for me. Usual time is 45 minutes-1 hour. I can do 30-40 minutes of cardio and 20-30 minutes of weights.

I know some of my friends who spend a lot longer at the gym, but also spend a lot of time BSing around and stuff. I get in and get out.

I usually spend right around an hour, but there are days that take about an hour and 15-30 minutes. It depends on what I'm working out that specific day and how many people that are there. I work out with a few of my buddies usually, so it takes a few mins longer.

Now, It's not as bad because I'm single again and I don't have to wait on my girlfriend to get done with Zumba... ugh.

Really ? WOW.......too bad that is all the way on the opposite end of the state right along the Canadian border, about 3 hours away from me.

But yeah Vermont is mostly national park protected land. And almost all these towns and cities are still like it is the 1700s. A lot of revolutionary war battles happened in this state, so you have a lot historic sites.

And most of these towns and cities in Vermont have very strict zoning laws where as a store can only be a certain square footage size. Which is why you don't see Super Walmarts in Vermont either, just regular ones..

Heck even our McDonalds, Wendys and Burger Kings are on the small side.

What can I say, Vermonters hate big stores and big buildings. You don't see any building here over 3 floors.
