isn't sam's club the same/similar thing as walmart? they share delivery trucks, i know and sam was the first name of the walmart guy.

darn, i didn't really forget to watch this, but having one tv really stinks! i basically have to toss a coin sometimes to see what i'm going to watch.
it's my parents' fault! we only got to watch an hour of tv a week. once in a while, we could watch something special such as 'shirley temple theater' and still watch the one we usually picked, "walt disney" on sunday nights. now i have too much to watch...

i read once that there are only so many blimp pilots and all but one live in massachusetts. for many years most blimps were stored in oakland (california, not n.j.)
they always fascinated and scared me!

I live in the Texas Panhandle.. and we have a Sam's Club and way to many Walmarts. Yes, they are the same company. and the Founder of both was Sam Walton. Sams club is a higher bracket of shoppers than Walmarts. Any one familiar with Price club..it is the exact same thing. Buy in bulk and less screaming kids running around.

S-mom, wow, that is like my one quirky, irrational fear.. that an aircraft will crash ON me Well, I guess it was inevitable to see blimps on the show if it is in blimpland.

All 4 of my siblings are Mensa cardholders. It started as a family joke. I can’t imagine any of them walking into a room and sharing that fact right off the bat. Trump should realize that there are other more important factors that make one a good apprentice besides scoring well on tests.

I have 2 kids…the son is very academically brilliant or maybe I should say he scores extremely high on tests with very little prep where my daughter studies her butt off and scores very average. Between the 2 of I would consider my daughter to be a better hire. She has all the traits that would make any employer happy….diligent, hard working, focused, leadership skills and dependable. As brilliant as the son is he doesn’t have a lot of traits that would make him a team player. My daughter is finishing nursing school and my son is a professional student (of sorts) but will finish his masters in June and is in the process of finding a job at a University as an English or Philosophy professor.

Mensa means very little when it comes to how a person will perform in a group or as a leader in the business world.

Not ot worry, Buggles - a blimp is a plane in very, very slow motion. The engines made so much noise, I ran outside to see it hover above, but there was more than enough time to empty the house of possessions, if needed. The blimp kept trying to get higher and the wind was slapping it down. After about an hour (can you believe I did not get my camera?),it caugt a good breeze and lifted up and turned around to go back to a closer airport.

The odd thing was there was no one in the neighborhood that day. The only other witness is my long gone ex.

Sam's club requires a membership fee and sells in bulk - it is like Cosco, BJ's , etc. I will never shop in Walmart or Sam's because they are notorious around here for prices scanning higher at the counter than the price on the shelf. It is too much trouble to check everything all the time, easier to go to stores that have the correct prices almost every time.

I would have offered a nice filled gift bag with membership (or upgrade), rather than just passing out free bags to whomever walked into the door. Give a little token to show up, but give a big incentive to sign up!

Sadies, I think the goal was to get members to upgrade their existing membership. Students were definitely not their target market.

When I saw the blimp with the message I immediately thought "That is what we need for Big Brother. Just think...maybe Janie could have won if we had been able to warn her!

I value book smarts, but I value common sense and emotional IQ much more. My dad acts superior around people because he is an electrical engineer, but he has little empathy for others, since he can't for a second imagine what it's like to be in another person's shoes. There are many kinds of intelligence.

I do think it will be much harder for today's teens who do not get any kind of education beyond high school. There aren't nearly as many manual labor jobs today that don't require some kind of specialized vocational training. However, I have many "non-academic" kids who will be making much more money than I ever could because they have career training in areas like welding, electronics, etc. By the time they graduate high school, many of them are within a year of getting their journeyman's card AND they have jobs lined up who are willing to finish their training.

One of the most memorable quotes I heard from a highly educated person was a chemical engineer I worked with (all I did was share a corner of his lab space, cause there was nowhere else to put me!). Anyway, he was obviously highly intelligent. When asked a question, he loved running over to his chalkboard to try and explain his answer. I could always tell he was "in the zone" with the joy of sharing his knowledge, rather than trying to lord it over those less educated.

Most of the time, a lot of the stuff was way over our heads. On one occasion, one of the guys he was trying to share his knowledge with finally just shook his head in submission and said, "I'm just not as smart as you are." To which the chemical engineer said, "I'm not smarter than you are. I'm just more educated." He was very humble about it. You could tell he didn't think he was all high and mighty cause he had more education. Just that he had/took the opportunity to receive more education than the other guy. Too bad more people can't be like him!
