| Black Friday!!! One of my favorite days of the year Black Friday is quickly approaching. Is anyone else planning to do some heavy duty shopping that day (or I should say the night before since everyone is opening earlier and earlier).

| I like going shopping on Black Friday but there never is anything that I just HAVE to buy so I never feel crazy or overwhelmed with it. Last year was the first time my mom and I started out at night. It was actually sort of fun! She's a major shopper so I was more along for the ride, moral support, and someone to argue with (or at least to stop her from arguing with anyone else!)

| You brave, BRAVE women! I get so stressed out with the traffic and crowds that I wait it out and do a lot more online shopping. The outlet mall that I used to live near in Concord was INSANE...they open at midnight every year for Black Friday...I think I went once or twice...never again! LOL |

| I just remind myself that NOTHING is worth the craziness that can ensue from BF so if someone wants to fight over an item, they can have it! It all stemmed from the year my mom and I went out (during the day) with my oldest daughter who wasn't even 1 at the time. We walked into Kohls and there was a stroller cart available so we grabbed it, my mom had her hand on the handle and I was just about to put my daughter in it when some crazy lady comes RUNNING at us, throws her stuff in the cart, grabs it from my mom and starts taking off with it! We were shocked and said, "Um, excuse me, we had that first." The lady said no it's hers. My mom said, "But we have a baby!" The lady said, "So, maybe I have a baby, too." and took off! I saw her a little later with NO baby and the cart loaded up so I went up to her and said, "Hmm, nice baby you have there. I hope you're proud of yourself for being a Black Friday Bitch." and walked away. So fast forward, we are standing in the RIDICULOUS long lines and the ladies behind us were saying how sad it was that we couldnt' have a stroller for the baby and that we had to carry all of our purchases so we relayed the story of the crazy lady. We had just finished the story when who should appear to talk to these ladies, but the crazy!?!?!?! I just looked at her and said, "Oh, speak of the devil, here she is." That crazy woman looked at us and RAN AWAY! She knew what she had done and now so did her friends! Well anyway, after we left there we went straight to Target and bought a stroller to keep at my mom's house for any future outings. I put it together in the parking lot and we continued on with our day. I was so upset with the Kohls ad last year that had a very rude woman singing "Friday" and pushing, stealing, and being a BF bully. They must have thought it was a funny ad but after having been subject to a BF bully like that I did NOT find it amusing!

| I have been riding the Black Friday crazy wave for YEARS!!! One time years ago I was at Best Buys and they had George Foreman Grills as a door buster, well I wanted on as a gift and asked the person standing at the display to if he could "toss me a George Foreman Grill", guess what he not only toss it, he THREW it at me - good thing I have quick reflexes.

| I and many others will be educating others on the dangers of China made Jerky Treats. Unsafe pet food from China prompts upcoming "Black Friday" protests at Wal-Mart | Alliance for American Manufacturing Black Friday for Pets https://www.facebook.com/BlackFridayForPets http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...oin-fight.html Together we can make a difference! Zoey and every other pet affected by this treats must be remembered and others protected! I am on the look out for a new computer and a few great deals

I never do Black Friday. There's nothing I want that bad to wait in those lines. Once my cousin told me she was gonna wait in line for a goose down comforter for $40, so I gave her $40 and told her to get one for me too. Heh heh.

| I heard Target wasn't doing "Black Friday" this year! There has been so much flak about everyone opening on Thursday now that they opted to have regular store hours. But that is only what I heard, it could be TOTALLY off base! You know how rumors are... LOL!
