Here is how it works....

You need an appliance or some sort of big ticket item (read: pricey)... for the sake of this example lets say you are looking to buy a refrigerator...

So, you go to the stores here (.. or just THE store here since I believe only one sells fridges still) and the price for the one you want is $799....

White Man Speak with Forked Tongue [William Tucker]

At the committee hearings on the Kerry-Boxer Bill last week, Democrats dutifully trotted out Fawn Sharp, president of the Quinault Indian Nation of Alaska, who assured us that climate change would affect Native Americans more than most others.

This wasn't written by me (Solipsister), but it was written by an island resident....and yes, duh!, I asked him for permission to repost it here.

John Bland ( alias "John Smith") of Edgartown, is the grandfather of a convicted witch. His daughter, Isabella Austin-Leavitt and current husband, Thomas Leavitt, had to regretfully inform Mr. Bland and his wife, Joanna, that Mr. Bland's granddaughter Isabella Austin-Towle was the second person to be convicted of witchcraft during July in Hampton,NH.

It's mid October here on the island, and for most businesses this is viewed as the proverbial eye of the storm; the time of year where everyone in the shops just coast through till the tourist traffic picks up again at the holidays. However, not everyone is exhilarated by this thought. Working in any job where you have to provide customer service is largely thankless.
