And RATS - I have heard some really great stuff lately about WalMart. They started the affordable prescriptions, have now done a great job on packaging and I am sure there was something else. I am NOT a WalMart fan but I guess I should keep a little bit more of an open mind! PS - They arrange Barbie's hair? That is a little creepy! YAY – I knew there was a non-packaging underground.

As a mother of 2 not so little ones anymore, it is really crazy when you are trying to open kid toys etc..........they sew Barbie's hair inside the packaging so she always has that cool wind blown look! How come I do not look that cool when I get all wind blown?? Then they strap every little ankle and shoe and accessory for Barbie down with a wire twist tie, then the hard plastic stuff and then the box! Yikes! And talk about a hazard to the kids when they play with all the little tie things instead of the toy! Okay I guess Tara hit a nerve here... I wanted to give kudos though to WalMart. The other day I bought a CD and it was in a very simple cardboard package called an Ecopak, made from 100% recyclable and biodegradable paper. It also came with an info paper that has wildflower seeds embedded in it so I can plant it! Very Cool! Then if I had a good photographer in my family I could take a beautiful picture of it too! So Anyway I get to listen to the very best of Sheryl Crow now without worrying about that stupid jewel case breaking like they always do anyway and maybe I will go and plant my seeds now! Now I am ranting, it's contagious! Patty http://pattynerirealestate.blogspot.com/ I am with you on that!
