Please forgive me DU, for I have sinned.

I bought something from Wal-Mart tonight.

My 3 1/2-year boycott was officially broken.

4 dollars and 70 cents of my money went into that greedy corporation's hands.

I had no other choice!!! I needed to buy some tape, and Target was closed. It was 11pm. So I went to two different grocery stores, and they didn't have it either. So I bit the bullet and went to Wal-Mart.

Please forgive me.:(:(:(

7. You are forgiven because I had to do the same thing once

and my item was more costly. I needed a car battery to get home from State College it was a Sunday night and I could not wait around till the next morning for the auto parts places to open.

10. Not really since home was two hours away by car and I had to be there

first thing in the morning. So if I waited around till the next day when everything was open I would have been a couple hours late for my first day at a new job.
