Depends. Did you look at the price tags?
Cashmere. Not exactly something you find at bargain prices.
I should say here that the nightmare is not prices, she spends money as she wishes, the nightmare for a guy is the old standing around outside a changing room for a half hour with a load of packages, then going to another store and doing it all over again...
Maybe if you tell her about it, then it counts as a trip and you can skip the next real one? Well, you could try. But then, being a nice guy I'm betting you wouldn't.
Ooog. That's definitely a guy's nightmare, Gary.
There was a funny commercial for Bud a couple years ago, where this guy is sitting outside the changing room at a dept. store and he gets invited into a cave-like area under a bunch of clothes, where a large group of guys is grilling and watching football. Dept. stores would improve their business with a nice little bar next to the women's changing rooms. Some TVs, some grilled food, some brews on tap--this is brilliance!!!!
Usually I try to visit book stores or sit around with a newspaper. But, often, I try to be a nice and patient guy and carry the bags and give the advice, when requested...
HA! I was going to mention something similar to that, Gary! I vividly remember visiting an outlet mall with my brother and parents on one of our summer roadtrips somewhere. I have no idea what the store was, but it had what hey called a "Men's recovery room": couches and a TV and a fridge with drinks. It was great!
Gordo, I need to know the location of this place...
I have no idea, my friend. I have this inkling that it was a Burlington Coat Factory or similar, but I couldn't even guess as to it's location.
I am thinking of swapping a visit to Dinosaur BBQ in Syracuse and Middle Ages brewery for a compliant and helpful trip to the mall. That's less tha 2 hours down for you, gordo, you could do this too.
I must be a guy. Cause I would want to hang out in the 'recovery room' - ha ha. And the Dinosaur Bbq and Middle Ages brewery sound like the highlights to me!
OH, Maggie, you would love those 2 places: Middle Ages is a small brewery with an OPEN AND FREE TASTING ROOM. Yep, free beer on tap. Dinosaur BBQ is near it, an old biker bar that has become....well, maybe the best bar and grill on earth. They actually opened one in NYcity--how often does a bar in a little upstate city expand into NY? And the Carousel Mall has a fab ice cream place, and the bookstore has maybe 3 floors. If I go shopping, I take care of myself.
Oh man, you've got it down to a science! The bookstore I would have to go to last because otherwise, I would stay there the entire time.
You know, I wonder if ANYBODY buys graphic novels? They are pretty entertaining to browse at a bookstore...
