Woman spends three days inside Lilburn Wal-Mart shopping

Woman spends three days inside Lilburn Wal-Mart shopping
By Christy Smith

LILBURN - While Gwinnett County's three malls fill with last-minute shoppers, the Wal-Mart in Lilburn hosted a woman on a three-day shopping spree last week.

Lilburn Police Detective Matt Lake said the 70-year-old woman spent three days inside the Wal-Mart at 4004 Lawrenceville Highway (U.S. Highway 29). She ate at the Blimpie, he said, although no information was available as to how she slept in the 24-hour store.

The woman's name and the accompanying police report was unavailable at press time.

Assistant Manager Danny Black declined to comment. Members of Wal-Mart's public relations staff did not return calls for information by press time.

"She spent three straight days in Wal-Mart," Lake said. "Employees called the police department. She asked an officer for a ride home, she paid for her merchandise and the Lilburn police gave her a ride home."

No information was available as to what the woman purchased or the cost of the merchandise she had amassed during three days of shopping. "LINK"

This is why Wal-Mart rules, where else can you spend 3 days warm from the cold, dry from the rain and safe from the flying bullets. Watch a few DVD's play some Halo3, need some exercise just pull a bike down off the rack and go for a spin. Need some rest test one of the recliners out, upset stomach head over to the pharmacy.
I like to think of Wal-Mart as a biosphere with a Blimpie's

Back After A Few Months Off

Due to a general lack of time and just needing to allocate time to other things I needed to jump of the information highway for a few weeks which became a few months.
I think I'm back.....................

Frickmas #43

We held the 43rd annual Frickmas celebration this morning. The celebration began with me un-wrapping my gifts!!!!!

First up a new iPod iTouch. Which means the old iPod gets passed down to the youngest.
In typical Apple fashion it was out of the box up and running in less than 5 minutes. It connected with my access point imported my internet bookmarks without a hitch. The screen works just like you see it on TV. Touch, tap scroll I'm holding my breath since this is a first generation iTouch that it won't be laden with bugs & glitches,
Landed (3) new t-shirts for those dress up evening outings.


My parents gave me tickets for the Ga Tech North - Carolina next month including dinner at the Varsity.
My Aunt laid some cash on me which will go for iTouch accessories, gotta feed the beast.......

Life Tip

No matter how helpful you might think it is don't mention to your better half "It sure would be nice if you folded the toilet paper like they do in the hotel bathroom" I'm just saying........

Patience Is A Virtue?

Except when it comes to baking cookies. The girls around here apparently don't have the patience to wait for the oven to heat up and then wait for the cookies to well, actually cook. They just eat the cookie raw right out of the tube.

Hooter's New Employee Fitness Program

Only In South Georgia

Do you drive your tractor to the local filling station. Possibly the tractor gets better mileage than his SUV.
If you are ever in Cordele, GA and have a hankering for some beef jerky stop by the "Salt Lick Sausage Company" and pick you up some.
You gotta like any place with "Lick" in the name.
