Photo 1: Sweetie, it's like I tell you every year. You have to spend money to save money... Photo 2: These new victoria secret panties will be less restrictive than my old underwear, allowing me to get to those doorbusters even faster!!! Photo 3: Look at all of those other shmucks in their camping chairs. Marion, I sure am glad we decided to camp out with our Sharper Image heated massage chairs...

1 c. shortening 2 c. brown sugar, packed 1 egg, well beaten 1 c. molasses (or 1/2 honey and 1/2 molasses) 4 c. flour 1/2 tsp. salt 2 tsp. soda 2 tsp. ginger 1 tsp. vanilla 1 tsp. lemon extract (optional) Cream shortening, gradually adding brown sugar. Blend in egg and molasses. Beat until light and fluffy. Sift together dry ingredients and gradually blend into creamed mixture. (Dough should be soft but not sticky or tops won't crackle.) Add vanilla and lemon extracts. Chill until well-handled with flour. Shape into 1 1/2 inch balls, roll in sugar and place on greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes. Don't over bake or centers won't stay chewy.

Task #3 is DONE!!! Bring on my survival kit and black friday!!!

I went to a staples last year for BF and got there at 3:30am. My friend and I were the 4th and 5th people in line. Our area is pretty populous (e.g. the BB had a line to the corner of the building by dinner time Thanksgiving night). I can't imagine that OD would be much different than staples... No idea about if they have a ticket system or not, it may depend on the store.

I have an hp dv6135nr right now which is very similar to the model that you were looking at. I have had it for 3 years, and have had NO problems with it whatsoever. I take really good care of it, making sure to handle it gently and store it well when travelling, but it has been a GREAT laptop. The touch media buttons are kinda fun, too...

Does anybody know how the build quality and customer service is for toshiba laptops? I'm specifically looking at the L305-S5907 at OD.

Yep, I was looking to find a Zune this BF, but no hope. iPods are complete crap and overpriced for the features they provide. Why would I pay for an iPod when I can buy a Zune and get more features for the same price...

The toshiba 15.4" L305-S5907 is on sale at Office Depot right now.

Oh, I just noticed that the Toshiba laptop is on sale right now for the same price as it is on BF. Perhaps I'll just get it now and avoid BF lines...

Does anyone know what the fine print is on the 15.4" Toshiba with 4Gb ram and a 320Gb HD??? I'd like to know how many each store will have and what kind of rebates they are...

Any of the laptops that dell is selling for BF should run photoshop fine (except the Mini 9). I have a hp laptop right now with 2Gb ram and a 1.6GHz Core 2 Duo, and I can run it. The minimum specs for running photoshop CS4 are 512MB ram, 1Gb recommended. You'll have at least triple the recommended amount of RAM if you buy any of the laptops dell has for sale.

I'm still amazed at how well of a job the staples in Novi, MI did. This year we got there at 3:15am, were 5th and 6th in line. At 5am, employees came out, handed out printed ads for anyone who needed one. At this time they also announced how much of each front page product they had in the store and how tickets would go. They had tickets for EVERY item on the front and back pages. Getting the tickets was a breeze, too. They opened the doors at 6am, you pointed out each ticketed item on the ad that you wanted, and they gave you a ticket for it. The tickets were color coded according to where you needed to pick the item up at in the store. They had about 2-3 people working at each of the pick up locations for the ticketed items, and all the checkout lines (5 of them) were open. What made it even better was at 5:30 they handed out bottled waters and cookies to the first people in line until they ran out. This is my 2nd year going to this staples and last year it was just as good, I'll most likely be there next year too (depending on what the sales are like)....

You can also just connect the unit to your computer via a mini-usb cable and charge it that way...

I was in line at my local staples this morning at 3:15, was the 5th person in line. Almost got the laptop (they only had 4 at my store). It was a GREAT time, the people were all super fun to talk to and swap black friday stories with. The first guy in line got there at midnight. One of his friends went to best buy and was about 30th in line. At around 4am, a bunch of people got out of their cars and got in line w/ people waiting for them. He went from being around 30th to 130th....

Marc, is the tomtom one 3rd edition at Staples $125.99 BEFORE using the given giftcard??? If it's before, you could theoretically make 2 transactions, the first one buying the GPS, get your $20 gift card, then buy something else using the gift card you just got. That would technically drop the price of the GPS down to $105.99
