Ok so my feather pillow rips on me the other night, luckily it ripped on the closed end of the pillow case so no feathers all over the room. I figure ok no big deal it was getting old and needed replacing anyway. So, I go downtown to Wal-mart to get me a new one. Now normally I avoid shopping at Wal-mart, I only go there if there is no other place in town that has what I need. The downside is that basically Wal-mart is the only major retailer of any kind in the town I live in. To shop at any other store like a Target, Shopko, JCPenny’s means a 45 mile one way trip either to the north or south.

So I head over to the bedding section and start looking for a nice feather pillow but what do I see. Foam pillows of all shapes and sizes, and a weird then called a ‘hypoallergenic feather like’ pillow with ‘feather substitute puff balls’, but not one damm feather pillow. At first I thought I was just overlooking them, but nope not one damm feather pillow in the whole damm store. Well I need that pillow so I could sleep that night ,and I didn’t have the two hours to spare to go to a good store just for a pillow, so bought one of their ‘feather substitute puff ball’ pillows. I don’t know who they are kidding the puff balls are no ‘feather substitute’. The puff balls are as close to feathers as a bag of rags they just not the same. I don’t see what the big deal is about a darn feather pillow it not like the feathers are coming from some an endangered species or something. It cant be price I have found feather pillows online for about the same price I bought my ‘puff ball’ pillow for. So why cant Wal-mart carry a damm feather pillow.

Oh, and the kicker to this whole mess, two weeks later my ‘puff ball’ pillow bursts a seam.
