I have always been a "label reader" but grudgingly broke down and bought
things from China. I found myself walking out of a store the other day
thinking "I can live without it".

Exactly the same thing with Lowes. I can live without it. I will seek out
small stores and garden centers. And each purchase NOT at Lowes is
a little victory for our side!!!!

Lowes is on my bad list permanently.
