I beg to differ.

They have fantastic prices on legs, wings, thighs, and breasts.

Yes, there's crabs.
I had some of those last night. At least if you have to peel them yourself, you'll pretty much know what you're getting.

I'll be out bright and early! Usually hit Radio Shack and Home Depot. You ought to go to Home Depot just to see all the guys jumping over pallets and sprinting down aisles for ShopVacs and Drills. It's entertaining and a rush!

I am scheduled off. Right, our work week ends on Friday, so ..... I will end

up with 80 hours regular time, 8 hours holiday pay, and at least 8 hours

overtime pay. I have had my eye on a beautiful noose and I may finally be

able to afford it.

Okay, that may require a trip to the local Home Depot just to watch the show. I can see the front door from the Cappucino shop three doors down. :P

ABSOFREAKINLUTELY NOT!

I have no patience to deal with it and besides, having only one child and cutting back buying for all my nieces and nephews a few years back I really don't have much to buy.
Ciao!

I'll be awake at 3:30 AM & head to Target to buy me a G.P.S. for my vehicles, then to LOWES for a pressure washer for the patio deck.
After that, it'll be Wal Mart, Kohls, Younkers, and anywhere else my money will take me. :lol:

(I already checked with HOOTERS, and they're not having any special deals, so I'll hold off until the following Monday before I go there).
What I'd like to get from Hooters isn't for sale.
I wouldn't bet on that.

I used to love Black Friday. Lately it has gotten crazy. I want the super deals and unless you get in line at 5pm on Thanksgiving you don't stand a chance.

He11 yes!!!! I'll actually do most of my buying (which really isn't that much) online after the dishes have been washed and put away on Thanksgiving. My girls and I will go out for lunch and play in the shoe department. Were not out to buy anything...we just want to get out for a few hours. And we love to watch all the crazies from the resturant window.... :lol:

No way! When stores opened at 8 or 9, a friend and I would sometimes meet at a suburban mall and it was tolerable, but not any more. If I had a large family, and a couple of folks to go with so someone could stand in line while others got stuff, then maybe, but otherwise, no way.

meanwhile, it is a great day to go to the grocery store--it is absolutely empty! Pretty funny.

As we were driving across Houston, we were having fun looking for people camping out in front of the stores....most tents were in front of Best Buys, but there were some camped out at Fry's. I can't imagine camping out for days to get a few bargins??? They people had to be camping since at least Wed!
