Someone mention countdown to black Friday? That is Lynx-stays-home day. I don't care about the "deals" they try to sell on that day - the only things I would be interested in are computers, and the only computers they sell at a deep discount are the ones that fall apart in half a year.

And I could get better stuff for less money in ANY category by going online. Forget black Friday.
It's all about the experience. It's not for everyone. Some people apparently can't handle it.

Catherder: Yes but now you have plenty to read. :D

Ho11y: There's a difference between "can't" and "don't want to bother." If they had really good quality dark chocolate... for, hmm, let's say $2 a pound... then you would NOT get between me and it. I'm very good at getting through a crowd.

Oh, and Lynx. I had been meaning to ask. You remind me a lot of GreenNnice. You and he told the same jokes. Are you one in the same?

Morning...gross.

It's nine a.m. so I guess it's time to decide if I'm going to be in a bad mood or not for the rest of the day.

I'm leaning towards a great big "not" on that, but I think I'll require some form of chocolate to achieve it.

I'd love to go Black Friday shopping. I've never done it before, and everyone's all excited about it. SO I guess I'm gonna see if I love it or hate it.

I just moved something 10x my size and now I think I'm seeing things.

Normal? Not normal?

I have one experience with Black Friday shopping.

One.

I was pregnant with my son at the time, 7 months, so I had this big belly going on. We went to Walmart at midnight, and the place was a madhouse. A lady on one of those riding cart deals apparently needed to be in every. single. place. we were, and she kept nearly running one or more of us over. Other people were pushing to get to the shelves. It was too much crazy for me, so I went to hide in the only fairly peopleless aisle I could find- the baby aisle.

While I was standing there waiting for my husband and his aunt and grandma to come back, this woman with this nearly overflowing cart came around the corner at high speed and raced down the aisle like a lunatic, smashing into me. Because I'm so hard to see, I bet (5'9", hugely pregnant, wearing this bright red coat...I totally get it...).

So that was it for me, and I do all my shopping online, if I have shopping that must be done.

We'll pray you don't get injured or killed in one of the annual stampedes. (it sounds like a joke, but every year now at least one person seems to get killed by a stampede getting in the store.)

Hey, all. Violakat has asked me to post that her brother has died. Keep her in your prayers.

Much love, Viola. Stay strong.

That's so weird all these bad experiences. I know they happen obviously, but my mom, sister and I have been going every year for the past 10 years and we've never had a problem. Its always been a lot of fun.
You will always have those people who act like idiots and of course that's what's going to be put out to everyone. "Don't go shopping on black Friday! You'll get shot or killed"
I'm more likely to get killed in a school than black Friday shopping.
Like I said. Been going 10 years every single year. And always had a great experience. Lots of people lots of lines, but that's my thing.

Yeah, there's always that one person that gets killed.

It makes me mad, though. In people's greed they've been blinded and literally can't see what's going on around them. They just have one goal in mind and no mercy will be made.

I voted today. There were about 5 names on the ballot. There are usually a lot more. I'm never sure if I voted for the right person. Seriously aren't they all the same??
