I'm going to Trader Joe's
Hello Oklahoma forum. I'm travelling for work related things and since I'm in California, I thought I would stop by one of the famous Trader Joe's neighborhood markets. These food stores are incredible with the very best low carb and wls surgery type food you could ever ask for. A girl's dream food store. It's nice to go into a little market like Wild Oats, but the Trader Joe's managers must all be ex wls surgery people since they have everything we love.
I wish each of us would write their corporate office to move one of these into Oklahoma. http://www.traderjoes.com is the website for their corporate contacts and information.

You vixen!
My cousin sends me a care package every now and then from TJ's. Rumor has it we are getting a Whole Food's Market in Bricktown, but TJ's is the bomb. I think you have to work there to even be allowed to open a store. I would so do it in a minute if I could work part time and bring a dog or two with me...LOL.
A friend and I talked about opening one in Dallas, but decided what we really wanted was for someone ELSE to open one.

Well, I heard it from two lesbians who were eating BBQ food at the place I was taking the turkeys and ham to to be BBQ'd, and without meaning to be stereo typical, they were Granola Lesbians, so I tend to think they'd know.
(I had one of the turkeys' in a whole foods recyclable shopping bag and someone at the counter asked if we had one here, and that's when the gals spoke up......)

A Granola Lesbian is kind of a whole earth catalogue gal-environmentally conscious, and old hippie soul. It's a term a friend and I used in Dallas to describe women who were just gay with no agenda. The opposite of a Born Again Lesbian, where every other sentence is "As a gay woman....or "As a Lesbian...." even when sexual preference or lifestyle has absolutely nothing to do with the subject at hand.
The terms work for guys too.
I don't mean to demean anyone's choice or struggle. Actually WLS has given me a glimpse of how something can effect areas of your life that you wouldn't think it would-like shopping or recreation choices. But, any time you talk about something to excess-it becomes a barrier, not a bridge.
