So how will Black Friday be like up by you? They are opening stores around us at 6pm. I haven't had to deal with that for quite a few years. By the time I head into work tonight. It will be over with.

We really don't have Black Friday in my town. We have a couple of bottom of the barrel discount stores (Alco, soon to be closed due to the chain going bankrupt and a new Family Dollar). Nearest Walmart is 60 miles away and a part of my soul disappears whenever I go into one. All of my "Black" Friday shopping is done on-line.

That's the best way to do it. You won't catch me in a major retailer on Black Friday.
 
Welp, wifey says it's time to get off our butts and do the dishes so we can get the bird in the oven. Catch y'all a little later.

Around here they have some 24 hr Stores for Walmart. They were advertising they had 50 inch Flatscreens for $210. Which they will have like 5 or 6 of them, and about couple hundred people lining up for it. We might even see footage of some uhm.....disagreements, as to who was where first.

All so eager to spend money people don't really have. :confused:

Light flurries here too. We were supposed to get around an inch, but it's not really sticking at this point. What part of NE Ohio are you in again? I'm not too far from New Philly.

Greetings, countryboy. :2wave:

I'm in a semi-rural no-man's land between Akron and Cleveland - closer to Akron, home of LeBron James and Goodyear Tire! We don't have sidewalks in most places except for the main roads, but we have great neighbors who work hard, play fair, and don't put up with too much bull****! Good place to live!

Happy Thanksgiving y'all. 60 degrees and sunny in Big D. Gorgeous day... unless you're a turkey!

I might brave Macys in the morning if I wake up early... like I usually do. Don't mind the crowds... helps me get in the Christmas spirit. Not a glutton for punishment though... 1-2 stores is enough. ;)

I know she borrows mine all the time and I hate loading it up and taking it to her, so I'm not entirely unselfish in getting her her own, lol.

Yeah SMW......So did Da Bears. So it wasn't a good day for me with Football.

At least work tonight will be light and I should have an early night. As long as it doesn't snow out in Indiana again.
 
Nasty football day. Other than that, though, dinner was a huge success.

Watching All Star Dog Special. I've got to quit living this wild life. ;)

:lamo: .. :thumbs: I don't know how animals experience time, but I was gone maybe four hours today, and you would have thought it was four days! Every one of them, especially the dog, was so happy we were back he was practically doing back flips! Nice to be reminded that someone misses you, isn't it? Of course, he could have just been smelling the food I brought home.....
 
Evenin, P! My lil dog doesn't like it when strangers are in the house so she was right under my feet all day. Her fav place to lay is on the rug in front of the fridge , so every time I open it, she has to move. I'm worn out telling her to MOVE. LOL

did you get enough to eat?

Oh yes! Everything was good, and I ate too much! With everyone bringing something, there was lots of food left over. We all got our Care packages to take home, so no cooking for me tomorrow. Maybe I'll get my tree up and trimmed? I'm in the mood to start dragging out all the lighted Christmas village pieces and wreathes for the doors and the animated Department 56 items that I have bought over the years! I'll make this place look festive if it kills me! Besides, I need it to offset reality for a while! :lamo: The neighborhood kids look forward to coming over, so sometime next week I'll invite them, and we'll have hot chocolate and cookies and watch all the animated pieces do their thing, especially the ice skaters on the village pond. Children make it all worthwhile, and it's Fun!
 
Evening folks. I survived another Thanksgiving. Actually it was very nice. Dinner was at 2:00. My six year old grandson asked me if he could say the Blessing. I agreed. It was beautiful. Out of the mouth of babes. I got lots of compliments on the food which any cook loves to hear. Most the men went up for seconds. The desserts the others brought were a big hit too. J made the pumpkin pies. They are the best I've ever eaten. The crust was excellent. K's pumpkin rolls were a hit too. I didn't get to taste my chocolate pie. It must have been alright. I had 4 lemon bars left. Both my kids and their families were here. They always bring their Tupperware containers to take home leftovers. But other guests don't do that. So this year I picked up these Styrofoam divided boxes with lids like they give you in restaurants to pack up your food in a doggie bag. I got them from the Dollar Tree. Eight for a dollar. They worked out perfect. Most the guests were gone by 7:00. My daughter and her family stuck around to help with the cleanup. It was a very good day. It's wine time. Salute!
 
Good morning folks and happy Black Friday.

One for the gals...

How ladylike are you?

http://www.brainfall.com/quizzes/how-ladylike-are-you/559856/

Not much surprise here. *scratches*

You are 59% ladylike, you are Not Entirely Ladylike.

You are polite and thoughtful, but not strictly a model of traditional feminine behavior.
 
Mornin'.....another day, another dollar. So it is, as the world turns.

Mornin, sweetie. How was work last nite?
Click to expand...

Not like it was suppose to be.....As usual the Media does like to screw people over. At least it didn't snow. But that's expected today and tonight, so it will be quite a journey heading out later in the night.
 
Sorry to hear the weather is gonna get worse. It's supposed to get close to 80 for us this weekend until we plunge back into the 40s on Monday. Gotta enjoy it while it lasts. ;)
 
I braved the insanity and hit the stores today. Anybody else? Well, I only went to 2... Macy's & Walmart... but got some excellent deals and figured I worked off some of those calories I inhaled yesterday. Wasn't too bad, except standing in line to pay. People seemed to be in the holiday spirit, even though only about half of 'em were speaking English. They looked happy, though. :)
