i know most of us are unable to fight the crowds of black friday, however, if you check the return policy of most stores you may find that if it's a door buster item that you purchased earlier they may give you the DB price.

Hi FW,

For those of us who don't hail from the US (well, all right, for me ) what's Black Friday? It sounds terrible
all the best.

Hello artist:

black friday is the day after thanksgiving. i can't remember why it's called that, i'm sorry.
now i remember, it's because the stores will all operating in the "black" due to the increased sales.
however, it's supposed to be the biggest shopping day of the year. most stores have specials that in comparison to regular prices are almost dirt cheap. in the mornings usually 5 am to 11 am or noon, they have door busters which are limited in supply.
the stores are usually so crowded you can't move.

hope you are having a great day today.

hugs and prayers

Hey FW....in your sig line, are you referring to this:

"Therapy is expensive, popping bubble wrap is cheap...any questions?"

Noooo! Black Friday is AWESOME! It's the day after Thanksgiving, and is the biggest shopping day of the year. Ppl get up bright and early and the stores open REALLY early with tremendous deals. Ppl start lining up for the deals at like 3 a.m. or so....even if the stores dont' open until 5 or 6 a.m. I did it ONCE...and will never do it again. I'm onlu 5'2" so I got TRAMPLED at Walmart! I couldn't see over anyone, so i lost my husband at the tme. LOL! i onlywanted a video game! Wah! But they had tv's there DIRT cheap so when the doors open people got trampled, and the games were around the same department. Ugh.

It's not bad going later in the day...but hitting those early bird sales, you can get HURT! LOL!

Anyway, that's what black friday is...pretty much the start of the christmas shopping. And things really ARE great deals. Check out the websites posted. Read some of the stuff they have:

LisaM, I made the same mistake as you did, I tried the day after thanksgiving sale one year and that was one year too many.. never again. people are so rude, they push you, and every year at our local Wal-Mart there are fights between people over some of the items on sale. That is soooo crazy. They can have it.LOL Of course since Wal-Mart stopped the Lay-Away that will be one place you don't have to stand in line for hours..LOL

Well I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and if any of you do try to shop Friday, please be careful..

Lisa, ha ha ha the bubble wrap has a story.

i have trouble at times. uneven ground and a combination of bad knees, ankles etc make walking a "trip" sometimes. i am a clutz. well, after this latest incident, and my daughter whacking her head on a pick-up door at work, we both have decided we would be better off being wrapped in bubble wrap and sealed with caution tape. maybe it would help. my daughter by the way split the skin just above her eyebrow and had 4 stitches to close. she's doing ok though. just one more scar, thankfully a tiny one.

hugs and prayers

Well, since we're wasting time, and dong totally useless things, I will write to you waht I have posted on my board over my desk:

"We all get heavier as we get older because there's a lot more information in our heads. So I'm not fat, I'm just really intelligent and my had couldn't hold any more so it started filling up the rest of me!
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!"
