In a reversal of fortunes, Toys 'R' Us are opening 11 more stores in Canada. You may remember the US parent went bankrupt and closed all stores several years back. The Canadian stores stayed open and profitable and are now expanding.

I can still be a Toys R Us kid, eh?! Awesome!

Martha can just go away. Do what you want with your own company and leave the rest of us alone.

My thoughts too. If she was such an expert, she would've known how to avoid jail time.

I bet that she has had several articles and show segments that have discussed ways to spruce up your home office.

I've never liked the idea of staying in someone else's house.
There's no way in hell I'm letting someone else stay in my house while I'm gone.

National Geographic has been published monthly since September 1888. Last month they announced that beginning in 2024 the magazine will no longer be sold at newsstands. Today they announced that all the staff writers have been fired. Will National Geographic eventually disappear like Look, Gourmet, Omni, Liberty, Photoplay, Mademoiselle, McCall's, Children's Digest, Mechanix Illustrated and US News & World Report? I wouldn't bet against it.

The iconic monthly National Geographic magazine will continue, though likely with freelancers only, instead of full-time staff.

They still had a magazine?

I thought that they switched to cable TV once they realized that people could look at boobs on the internet for free.

The September 1958 issue of Mad included a hilarious parody illustrated by Wallace Wood: The National Osographic Magazine.

I'm pretty sure they sold the fake trees in a box, and they sold a ton of garland and wreaths, plus everything that would go on, around, or be associated with a Christmas tree and Christmas. The trees themselves are generally sold by greenhouses and tree farms.

They can't compete with this: Bronner's Christmas Wonderland World's Largest Christmas Store

We go to Bronner's every few years. Got our last few trees there.
Frankenmuth is a nice little theme town. There are a few good restaurants, micro-brewery, and a bunch of little shops.

I don't think so, but they have a covered bridge, water wheel,
