The Cosco Wholesale Club Concept Stores

Cosco wholesale club currently operates two other retail formats, a home furnishings concept known as "Cosco Home," and a strictly business operation known as "Cosco Business Center."

There are currently two Cosco Home locations (Washington State & Arizona, both in former HomeBase warehouse stores) with plans for a third on the west coast. Cosco membership is required, and hours of operation are identical to that of regular Cosco warehouses.

There are a handful of Business Centers, all of which offer delivery via a private fleet of trucks. Some locations have a retail selling floor open to Cosco members who wish to shop in person, while others are strictly delivery only.

My Sister's Wedding Nightmare

My sister had to have champagne colored bridesmaid dresses for her wedding (this past July 2006). She was adamant about the exact color, style, and price of the dresses.

She, and her husband Robert, spent a ton of money on this wedding – the the tune of 35 grand. Ouch! 

Not only did the bridesmaids have to be wearing the champagne colored dresses, but she insisted on wearing a tea length wedding dress.

So Here is The Wedding Nightmare

The wedding took place in the back yard of a 4 acre lot outside of Chicago. It was all there and in place. Preacher had arrived and we were all taking or respective seats on the sides of the aisle.

The music started and my Dad was just starting walk my sister down the aisle – she was absolutley georgous in her dress, and the bridesmaid dress choice she made was stunning too. They all looked fantastic.

Out the blue, all three of my Mom’s golden retrievers (two of which were puppies, who were supposedly locked in the pool area….which was half dirt because of the reno work) covered in mud bolted past the minister, and through the wedding party.

All three of the dogs went straight for the bridesmaids in their champagne dresses. They jumped up on all three of them, destroying the dresses with mud, and claw snags. People were laughing. People were gasping. People were crying. Shrieks were heard in the wedding party.

When the goldens were shoed away from the bridesmaids, they bolted straight down the aisle toward my Dad and my Sister, who was in tears by now. My Dad, and both sides of the aisle, jumped out to stop the dogs from further destrying the bride. Didn’t work…

One of the puppies made it through the maze of panicked wedding guests, and leaped on my sister (who is 5’2” and one hundred pounds), and knocked her to the ground. The groom finally made to his bride-to-be and the guests had pulled the excited retriever off her. Too late.

She was covered in mud, dirt, and saliva. The wedding was destroyed and her tea length wedding dress was a shambles. HORRIBLE!

The wedding went on anyway, but the bridesmaid dresses, and the bride’s dress were covered in mud still.      

Terry's Mom's Art Gets Exposure

Terry Zulit begins posting his Mom’s artwork on his blog. First sketch goes up of Wagon Wheels in the snow.

“My Mom is an excellent painter and sketch artist. The way it works is this. She’ll sketch out the idea first, and if it work REALLY well, she’ll leave it in that medium.

If the piece can be improved with the use of color, then the painting begins. To see the full drawing, you’ll have to click the image.

I’m really proud of all her work. My Mom and Dad’s home has her paintings and drawings on most of the wall space. Some of here paintings get sold to high bidders (if she feels like parting with them), but most of them she keeps in the family.

It’s an amazing feeling to be surrounded by personal art, instead of paintings, or prints acquired in the local Walmart or Ikea. Enjoy.

I’ll post some of her other paintings which are in color, on another day.”
