Exclamation Catalog

What's up with HD dealers and not wanting to give a customer an actual book. Do they not want you to spend your money.
The website sucks.
The world of technology, I guess. i enjoy looking thru the paper catalog.

HD can change prices at will with out them. They save a lot of money by not printing them.

they all do it even to the point of forcing you to do so or you are out the door!! allstate is one of them. i am a paper trail dude, i do not monitor digital stuff much.
every digital account is another point of a hack. so if i get hacked through allstate, guess what, a hatchet is what they will get from a lawyer. remember, delete is not delete but a fire pot is!

They have them, just don't want to give them out. Only to their VIP I'm sure.

I'll find a way to get one. And then share.
