   What can I say, except that the IKEAs are quite far away from both 
places where I live, and we don't casually pass by, as one would with a 
more common store, like a Target. It's more like an expedition, and with 
all the time spent getting there, fighting the crowds to get to the 
earmarked items, having to load them, and anticipating the trip time 
back, there's no browsing. That's how I missed the meatballs, and the 
food section. :)
   (BTW, am I still on moderation, or is just this particular newsserver 
path very slow? It sometimes takes days for my posts to appear.)
