		<description>&lt;p&gt;As to appliances, I favor the local Appliance Mart that sells the remains of last year’s models, various kinds of overstock, and frequently appliances that have been part of displays at Home Shows, at very deep discounts.  They Deliver, and remove the old, but then you hire an independent installer who can do both electrical and plumbing modifications to code.  Except for eventually replacing the garbage disposal, I had my fling about two years ago — new Washer, Dryer, Stove and Microwave all in one swoop.  I don’t recommend the experience as an exercise in stress reduction, but once it is over, the joy of replacing 30 year old appliances quickly mitigates the disruptions.  (I remain deeply in love with my Commercial style Five Star Range which I got at about 50% Discount.)  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have, however, a small commercial proposition for our on-line community.  There clearly is a need for Political Food Consultants — an “outsource” for selecting and testing the receipes that highlight or color code a candidate to their identity, their ideology, their particular taste, not only foods that can be passed off as olde traditional family receipes, but also foods that would attract attention at fund raisers and other campaign events.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now I have some experience in this field.  Back in the early 90’s when Bill Clinton came to the fore, I researched Arkansas Foods, and created a small receipe book for State Legislative Level fund raisers, (Called it Food of the Great River Road), all based on the theme that Minnesota is connected to Arkansas by the Mississippi, which is a food distribution system among other things.  It would be even more fun to do for Obama — just imagine connecting Hawaii and Indonesia, Africa and Chicago — with a dip into Boston Cusine. Anyhow, I see a clear commercial consulting opportunity here that is a significant skill generally not possessed by youthful volunteers who assume the only political food is take-out and Pizza.  Anyone interested?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Late to the thread but fwiw, Sears = KMart.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A few years ago KMart Holdings bought out Sears and changed their (KMart)  name to Sears Holdings.  They left the stores as two entities but it’s all KMart now.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I love Papi and Manny and the skipper but baseball?  Not so much.  I won three tickets in a door prize drawing on June 18th to a sox game on July 13 and gave them back to a winner in a second drawing. How are the Dbacks doing these days?&lt;/p&gt;</description>
