See? And I thought that IKEA’s evilness came mainly from the use of cute little made-up names with umlauts that’s supposed to make you think it’s truly European.

OMG – THAT is the IKEA I went to! My friend and I were at MOA for our annual pilgrimage to our Shopping Mecca!

Our Ikea is next to the Mall of America so that would be a good deal if you could drop your kids off at Ikea and go shopping/movie watching/bar hopping at MOA. Yep they have a movie theater and a lot of bars inside the MOA. I don’t have kids that need babysitting anymore, but I do have a granddaughter, so if you find out that it isn’t illegal, let me know. I could totally drop her off there and go shopping with her mother at MOA.

cindra: it’s good to have goals – and thanks for stopping by!

Nessa: and normally I love board games! (and hello)

the grumble: exactly!

Bonnie B.: I dunno, some crazy person.

cindrarella: only the odd numbered responses

Hilly: see?

Selma: i had to put my coffee table and end tables together, so it’s not THAT bad – as long as it doesn’t look like ass when you’re done.

Michelle: if I’m ever in court arguing over “premeditation”, I assure you it won’t be because of this.

(and yeah, gmail is a wonder for subscribing to comments because it keeps them all in one email string.)

Al Warren: :wave: so you’re saying there’s teleportals? in IKEA?

You’re one of them, aren’t you?

Dave2:

You kind of have to pick and choose, because I’ve got some very nice minimalist IKEA pieces that I’ve never seen anywhere else. My DVD shelving is barely bigger than the DVDs they contain, and I love that. IKEA is also a fantastic place to get good-quality picture-frames at great prices.

That being said, they do have a lot of crap so, ~~as I said, it’s pick and choose time.~~

Exactly!

annie: I feel inferior about things I can’t afford all the time. But not IKEA.

deb: sing it sister!!

the grumble: if you WANT, I suppose you can let it go *sigh* – or you can get gmail which makes subscribing to comments and stuff a THOUSAND times easier to do.

Or just pop back periodically to see what witty responses I have crafted.

Mr. Fab: what’s that you say? “Welcome To Florida”?

I must say I feel slightly less sad and lonely since I left my comment here earlier, resulting in a small deluge of other comments in my mailbox. It’s almost as if I have… friends! *sniff*

(I didn’t even notice the checkbox last time, but now I see it I obviously can’t uncheck it…)

I too feel the same as you about IKEA. It is a horrible place!

Uck, I hate IKEA and I’ve never even been, I just hear everyone talking about it as if it’s the only place to get furniture. My computer desks and my bookcase I had to assemble and I feel INFERIOR when I can’t afford furniture that comes ALREADY assembled. WTF?
Dang, before your post was finished, you wrote what I was thinking, they put the children in a neatly marked bin until you come pick them up.

I promised Mr. Fab, your pimp, that I would drop by, and here I am.

I enjoy IKEA. Not because it is a nice trendy place to shop, but because I like breaking the rules. Oncce you figure out THE PLAN, you can short circuit the paths, and quietly slip between a couple of beadsteads and magically appear in storage systems.

There at the left is a small cranny that will magically transport you to housewares. Salespeople are startled as you suddenly appear in stemware.

Spread chaos! Go in and violate the paths. It will make you feel better, as long as you don’t buy any of their cheap crap.

Here in Latteland, they offer free jazz on Tuesdays. Another way to insinuate themselves into the populace.
