I live in Merced so this was a adventure treasure hunt. Was I surprised not a huge store. But was…read moreclean and well organized. Prices were fair on some things others a bit not much high. Lots of furniture and what not stuff. Not a huge selection of building materials. But what they did have was fair on prices. The workers kept bringing out stuff. The whole time we spent looking at things. Despite the boring drive. Will definitely be back. Oh the workers are polite and helpful.

And mailing the ex's bullet pointed reminders of How They Have Displeased Me in 10pt Helvetica Bold Ragged Right Margin portable document format. (PDF) That way they can keep it on their iPhone as a periodic reference tool in any future self-improvement undertakings they commit - or be committed - to. So speaking of age and improvements, the time seems appropriate to think about what Legacy might be left to the up and coming class of fledgling gay boys now entering their most awkward stage: Lacking In Serious Personal Style. (LISPS) With this in mind, my gift to The Millennials is the giving up of some - but not all - of my Secrets of Fabulocity; Home and Vacation Home Edition. And what is that great and valuable secret? Habitat for Humanity. This store is PROPER! As well, the place is deceptively humonstorus in size from what it appears as from the parking lot perspective.There is room after cavernous room full of fantastic things, potentially fantastic things and Things Only a Gay Man Could Display and Authentically Pull Off. Oh and a lot of crap too but being able to sort thru that noise successfully has always been the hallmark separating the gays stylish home from the bro frat house. Having been raised in a family of means has blessed me with a good eye for fine home furnishings and decor. However, this blessing is also a curse in as much as it's pretty easy to give Poggenpohl 100 large to deliver 'vision' and thereby mitigate the design mistakes that so many of these new gays make whilst their training heels remain present. But it takes Fabulocity to create that Poggenpohl look on one's own and for 98,000 less. Having been on the lower end of personal means at various times has taught me this and now I - with fantastic hair and complimentary lighting - present my secret to the LISPS: Habitat for Humanity. Look, one doesn't have to have money to have style...one simply has to possess the desire to remain relevant within the fiercely competitive home and garden gays social construct. This store is where YOU begin on a path of creating unique and tasteful environments imitated by others; not being a slave to following them. That hideous 90's brass chandelier for three bucks? Buy it, some cooper or oil bronze spray paint and get busy crafting it into a patio chandelier with tea light mounts in place of the bulb sockets. When coming in from your patio, take a moment to consider your light switches which, of course, are terrible and buy the rocker ones from H4H for a buck instead of the ten they cost when new. That incredibly detailed old door - when combined with the legs from an otherwise beastly secretary - can with a glass top become the dramatic focal point of your dining room as Le Table. And NO gay man should ever suffer the ill effects of direct and non-adjustable lighting and lack of funds is no excuse. All you need is a sawzall, some basic electrical skills and gallery-style lighting found here. Because right now your home is 75% short on fixtures; I guarantee you this little ones. Room after room at H4H is filled with everything. Literally. One could arrive naked and actually live inside this store with no effort aside from ordering from Peapod or the better dining establishments of Sonora. Ok well there is Peapod so..... Everything here is priced lower than Donald Trump's approval numbers; they like the stuff are amazingly rock bottom. So that's my secret bestowed upon the LISPS as they begin to peck their way out of their shells and into gracious living. Habitat for Humanity will make Fabulocity yours and as an added blast help hard-working families in need of shelter. So lose your LISP, gain chic vogueness and simultaneously give back to the community. Pretty cool, eh?

I stopped into Clint's Trophy Mart this past week…read more They just received a wealth of new used records - so if you're looking for a mellow afternoon browsing old record art - it's worth stopping in here. They have some great ones! In fact some of our favorite records as of late - we've picked up here. Clint's Trophy Mart is a bit of a maze to explore, but if you have the time - it's worth taking it - to check out their old magazines, antiques, vintage army jackets, quirky shirts, jewelry etc. The owner gets many of the items from estate sales. My favorite aspect of Clint's Trophy Mart - is that it's been around for 40 yrs - and 20 yrs in this specific location. I always appreciate true local spots where you never know what you're going to find - and Clint's is definitely that kind of spot. Trust.
