Lisais will run store in Putney

A little more than 14 months ago, the future of the Putney General Store was in doubt.

how could you possibly talk of opening with a meat case and all the styles and not mention TOFU in the capital of unique and proper back to grassroots Putneyville. now you want us to wait 10 months for this ahh 2 flags.

[PLAIN JANE]

please ignore the fake "flat lander" - which is another of my secret names, so popular people are stealing me, and my real posts are never from "Tamoroa, IL" dammit. i'm an old beery man with i.v.s in my arms typing with one hand, and i eat sausage 3 meals a day.......

Doesn't matter what name you use, you should consider deciding between hitting the bottle and hitting the keyboard. Stop doing both.

[conan]

oh oh . i can see it now . PETA will be protesting outside Lisai's store for cutting up deer meat after someone shoots it.

hmmmm, come to think of it, i wonder if they will be offering this svc in their new Putney store. considering the backlash they may get from the natives(hippies), they may just not do it.

[Mary Narkiewicz]

This is great! A positive development for Southern Vermont, and Putney.

[Linda Brown]

Plain Jane or your other alter ego, stop posting if you can't make any sense, none of your posts ever do!! It is like you just go off on a tirade and frankly, it is annoying!!! What were you trying to say today about the General Srore?? I am glad people want to see it up and running again, it was the hub of Putney and that small town feel is starting to disappear. As for the store wanting to hsve a meat case, not everyone in Putney digs tofu!!! But just to keep the granola heads happy, I am sure they will also have tofu and nuts and twigs!

[Nicole]

Ms. Brown I must say, if you speak how you write, I not sure why anybody would listen to you. What does it matter what's in the store, meatcase, etc.. as long as they have what you would like, if you shop there, then I don't think you should be concerned about whether they carry tofu or not just because it may not be one of your favorite dishes. On a side note, the following sentence, makes no sense whatsoever: "As for the store wanting to hsve a meat case, not everyone in Putney digs tofu!!!" Word to the wise, read before you post. Or....keep your comments to yourself.

[Ben Long]

Are you guys really fighting about the store in Putney? The internet is awesome!

[Linda Brown]

Hey Nicole! Must be you are friends with the other idiot! I know people in Putney that would never eat tofu, but they sure like roast beef and salami and that is what I meant about the meat case!!! I would have never said anything about this moron, but, she or he's posts do not make any sense, but apparently they do to you! Can't stop them for posting, so instead I will from now on consider it my one good laugh for the day!!!

[flat lander]

cat fights are legal but dog fights are. so no money on snoopy but any one care to go the oddsa on these two fur heads. lets get them going and throw in a can of tasty treat meeyuw. nothing new in putney the ville of the damned. somebody call the big cat up on the hill with the criminal record and now this will fly. don't forget your video cam.

how about a small version of Walmart so we can save mileage to n.h.

[Ally]

Oh Flat Lander, why don't you choke on a piece of marinated steak tip and shove some tofu up your ass! have a nice day!

[flat lander]

thanks Ally for that suggestion and it solves a long time of your answer. If someday I ever find myself in that position I will give tofu a try now to be polite. I don't eat that meat stuff either or much outside of those olives on the toothpick with my martini's or two or well. well now I will work on a plan on the best way to have tofu stuff it up the diaper hole. ALLY I'll keep you up on that tofu deal and would you like a email or pics too.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. on Monday launched a new e-commerce initiative, adding a million items to its online store through partnerships with outside vendors.

They will have a grocery store in every town in the coming years that is also a pickup point for things bought threw them online to eliminate the most exspensive part of shipping things, the last few miles to peoples houses.
It's going to be a new version of the 1800's Sears catalog/ Montgomery Ward catalog showroom, no longer pickup something when it comes into the train depot, pick it up when it comes into wal-mart and get the groceries while you are there.

Go to places like Home Depot and look at the displays for big ticket items and find out they don't stock much of the stuff, it has to be ordered. That is what retailing is going to come to as stores eliminate stock and warehousing much, direct ship from producer to store for customer pickup. For imported asian stuff they are building massive warehouses in mexico at the new massive port. Want a bicycle, go look at them at the store, place order and if will be here next week or just order online and pickup in a week.

It's going to sort of look like a car dealership with only a showroom and no lot full of cars, sorry don't stock anything, it has to be ordered.

They just raised the height of the Hoosac railroad tunnel in western mass so they can get double stack container trains into new england. It's the future coming, stock nothing, take orders, throw stuff in container and drop it on a train and get it to the regional distrubution center and make up trailer loads to the store.

sorry, I don't exchange e-mails and pics over the internet with people i don't know (only little verbal threats to feel better about myself)...but thank you very much for not reporting abuse.

[flat lander]

I been good since I got out so I can't run around abusing people even though a lot of that's going on lately. well if you want to see me I hang out in the harmony lot after dark so my scares don't show that much. I got a beat up car not the humans after that last trip in the big house.If I.m not there I ride around canal and clark looking for that bastard that ratted me out.
