 i must be the only weird fibro who loves to go out shopping. but then i live in a town of less than 10k and we only have a walmart supercenter and a hyvee to shop at. i have a major problem with cabin fever so going to walmart just to slowly walk around is a nice exercise and break in my life from being cooped up at home.

 Dee, I like to go shopping to, And our town is less than 10K and we have only a Wal-mart surper store. Well we have a few other nice stores but I like to just go and see the new things and all the colors and the new plant and flowers that are out. I wouldn't be able to go everyday but I like to go about once a week. Your not alone

 Wow, I had to check to make sure we weren't from the same town. But not even close. I do the very same thing. I go to our hometown grocery store for as much as possible. But I look at it this way, the people that work at Wal-mart are from our town to. So I go to both.

 You gals are not alone. I enjoy shopping also and mainly it is to get out of the house. But I still enjoy it. I live outside of a village of 274 people so for the grocery store I go 12 miles away to a local store, in a town of about 1K a little higher. But I love Walmart so every 2 weeks I get to go 36 miles to the closes Walmart. I have to use a cart to hold me up.

 That's funny. I use a cart in any store I go in, too. I get so tired so quickly that it helps. We're so smart!!
