You're not old, Sue! By which I mean, god willing, you have many decades of shovelling ahead of you. Sorry.
ita, maybe ask someone about that the next time you're at the hospital?
One year, my parents and I took the subway to the downtown Boston Macy's early on the Friday morning -- regular people early, not 4am or whatever -- and it was practically empty! Maybe there had been people there for the doorbusters, but I feel like it's more a suburban thing. The only people outside that store in the middle of the night live there.
Timelies all!
I don't do shopping on Black Friday, at least not in the big stores. There's a convention in the Baltimore area Thanksgiving weekend that we always attend. If I'm doing any shopping, it's in the dealers' room there.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Take a minute to be grateful that a deer hasn't fallen in love with you.
I give thanks for Amy sending my brain down the zoophilia place I rescued it from a couple weeks ago.
Wait--no I don't.
Is it zooiphilia if the animal is the one with the fetish?
So when a retailer says we have o open early to get that customer dollar - I think not.
I went to Michaels yesterday to drop off my brother's Christmas present for framing, although I don't think I'll go back there for the rest of my framing after Christmas--the woman there really did a hard sell on me to use glass, claiming that glass was the only thing that would keep mattes in place. I call bullshit on that, because if the mattes start to warp and/or split like she claimed, that means they're poorly made.
Anyway, I found some ribbon for my tree (both for the tree-topper bows and for garland), and while paying for it, I was chatting with the older woman who was ringing me up. Turns out that they're open from 4-10 tonight, Thanksgiving! Ugh. I used to work there back in the early '90s, and I would have hated to work Thanksgiving night (it was bad enough when I had to do that while working at Blockbuster).

It's the best sort, because then it's obviously consensual.
Last night I made a pumpkin pie and pumpkin muffins and rice krispy treats. today will be mashed potatoes, dressing, gravy, green bean casserole. mom will do the cornish game hens, a pumpkin mousse, cranberry salad, and some sweet potatoes
I would rather brave the mall on the 26th for the sales than on Black Friday.
Maria,
that is going TOO far. Just too far.
I think the only way I am lining up at 4am at a retail store is if my life or my family's lives depended on it. You know, like an impending zombie apocalypse. I cannot see any other reason *I* would attempt that madness.
