I'm sorry you yelled at your friend. I hope you two do indeed talk again. I tend to disagree. If we, as Indiepreneurs, see ourselves as in competition with big box stores, then we're doing it wrong and we'll never win. Instead of guilting people into shopping with us or telling them they have horrible taste if they shop at WalMart, perhaps we should be offering products and services that the big stores can't. And I think there's something to be said for spending less money on things we don't care about (birthday cake quality), so that we can spend more money on things we *do* care about, like home decor. .-= Jessie´s last blog ..<a href="http://samann1121.blogspot.com/2010/03/brown-rice.html" rel="nofollow">Brown Rice</a> =-.
