Today Wal-Mart again trends on Twitter.

What is the reason Wal-Mart is trending on twitter today?  Wal-Mart is beta testing Thin Mints and Tagalongs, The Girl Scouts of America’s two best sellers.  Thin mints account for 25% of all of the Girl Scouts cookie sales.  The annual cookie sales are what fund the operation of the Girl Scouts in the United States.

The annual Girl Scout cookie sale is so anticipated they have a website to be able to find your closest Girl Scout council and to keep Girl Scout cookie fans apprised as to when they will be able to order.  While The Girl Scout cookies have a higher price that average cookies, the cookies are worth it and the exclusivity of the cookies make them much sought after.  However with Wal-Mart copying the Girl Scout cookie recipe and offering *almost as good* cookies year round at the Walmart *every day low price* how long will this continue?

Researching this topic today, people who previously enjoyed shopping in their local Wal-Mart’s are beginning to question how much Wal-Mart Stores really do care for the communities they have built into.  As someone trying to keep Wal-Mart OUT of my community ~ I feel Wal-mart doesn’t give a hoot for anything except the bottom line.

With Wal-Mart willing to knock off the Girl Scouts two best selling cookies and sell them at prices lower than the cost to the Girl Scout organization itself, how long will this non-profit organization be able to continue with the might of Wal-Mart competing against them?

Having been a Girl Scout as a child and a leader as an adult, I no longer have ANY question Wal-Mart is  most evil.

So – with the launch of their newest line of “Great Value” by faking Girl Scout cookies – what is next?

Who is doing this and why do I care?

by The Land on May 5, 2009

Who is doing this?  And why do I care?

My name is Evelyn.  My husband and I live in Tarpon Springs Florida.  When flying north out of Tampa, we can see our home by looking out the west.  The reason we are able to see our home is because the location of our development is very unique.

We live in Riverwatch, which is right off of US Highway 19.  Riverwatch is just south of the Pasco county line, but on the north bank of the Anclote River.  Wal-Mart wants to build on the south bank of this beautiful river that is the life blood of Tarpon Springs (Sponge Capital of the World :-)

The law of attraction :-)

The land is alive and can be heard

The land called to the eagles

The eagles have reported for duty …

I am a real live person.

I am daughter, sister, wife of my life mate, mom, grandma, friend, and a vet.

My name is Evelyn, one of my SuperPower’s is the Internet, and I am reporting for duty.

Eagles or Wal-Mart? Our National Symbol or China?

The Land pictured above is owned by Wal-Mart.  They have rescinded their requests and plans for building their SuperCenter Wal-Mart … BUT they STILL own The Land.  As long as Wal-Mart OWNS The Land … ~*~Owners Rights~*~ is FRONT and center … NEVERmind the fact EAGLES have claimed The Land THEIRS – THE LAND has as well.  LOL!!!  What does that mean?  Heck … who knows … but The Land says NO-WAL-MART SuperCenter … that’s what it told DeadlyTraffic and I’m stickin’ to it :-)   Thank You, Thank You, Thank You (-:

OH!!!!  and My husband and I are shareholders of Wal-Mart … and we say NO! :-)

(-: I am also known as Evie the evil Evelyn :-)

When one does what one loves, one never works again.  How does one find their passion?  Listen.  shhhh …. and just listen – not only with your ears, but with your self.  When you do, you will know not only what you are here to do, but you will begin to hear much more than you ever thought possible :-)

Believe it, don’t believe it – it doesn’t matter – it is, what it is :-) to those who read this and think (or say) my neighbors a nut … yea … so what?

For those who wish to learn more – I will work on a links page to help you find your frequency ~ LOL!!! ~

I am a YouTube(r)  http://www.youtube.com/user/2emc and I will upload video as I can.  I owe a new friend some Sponge Dock and Athens Street videos :-)
