Shhh, don't tell them that human medicine wasn't created from nowhere, and that the big thing that is useful with "conventional medicine" is purity and standardized dosing. (The problem comes when we see some benefits from plant based medicines, extract the active ingredient, not realizing there are other ingredients in the plant that help support the mechanism of the drug.)

Yes, Sears is the place - was the place - for appliances, tools, paint, tires. Their toy section and "wish book" catalog were great at Christmas. I actually use the sears catalogs online if I want to remember prices for things at different times - it's insightful into how things change in cost. Of course, JC Penney used to have appliances, tools, car repair, fabric, and other stuff too just like Sears. One of the problem is Americans became audiences rather than participants so stupid clothing stores are all that seem to matter. Everything else is handled by much smaller speciality retailers.

Honestly I don't see the point of these four foot bed pickups. What's the point of something that can hold two trash cans and nothing else? I'm NOT a person who works out of his truck doing construction or anything but do use my pickup all the time for hauling things. Of course, I also have a Toyota Yaris for driving back and forth to the grocery store -- which is a 100 mile round trip. Is it just because the owner wants to pretend he or she 'has a truck'? If you want to carry a lot of people get a passenger van. Heck for carrying most cargo, a cargo van is better.
