Well, after a series of falling out's over the last 8 months-- looks like I will not be doing my BF w/ my partner in crime, my sister. We've gone every year for the last 14 yrs together- through snow storms, forecasted blizzards, subzero temps, her w/ severe morning sickness. All of it.
Unfortunately, my family is not speaking to me too much over a series of misunderstanding's. So, my husband said he'd go w/ me on BF this year (which also happens to be my birthday). So, wish me luck. He's driven us twice in the past and did Walmart in the past to help us carry heavy items-so he's alittle aware of what to expect. Plus w/ it being my birthday I know he'll be on his best behavior towards me (even w/ the crowds). So, here goes nothing- maybe it's a new tradition!!
1st of all Happy Birthday, you and I have something in common, (I was born in 62) Next I will hold out hope that you and your sister will patch things up. There is no way my husband would get up and go with me so you are lucky that way. I am going with my niece and I can't imagine going with no one else We prefer to stay out all day and sometimes won't even stop for lunch. It is tiring but Oh what fun it is!!!!!!!!!!

for guys its football for us women its shopping so you could call BF the Super Bowl of Shopping
-
I go shopping with my niece. We got so excited last time we went we didn't even stop for Lunch!

I know Cracker Barrel Restaurants have a lot of nostalgia candy. You can find them along major interstates.

When my son was 7 I got him a batman gun that shot little sponge darts out. The first time he tried it it shot me in the eye. It hurt like crazy but I refused to go to the ER. Needless to say my husband had to fix dinner that day. Later that night I went to the ER and found out I had a tear in my cornea. I hate nerf items and sponge guns to this day.

I may be nuts but I think standing in line is part of the fun!

How about an a DVD that they might light plus some peanuts or popcorn in a small basket. I know my husband loves the older westerns or movies you can get at walmart for 5.50,

We had an awesome White Christmas in 2004. 3 days before Christmas it started snowing and didn't let up until Dec 24th. We had 30 inches of snow. All traffic was stopped ( including air) and my son was on his way home from the Air Force in Texas. He got in at 10:30 Christmas Eve. and my husband took 3 hours to drive home from the airport (normally an hour drive) but Its a Christmas I'll never forget. :)

We take them down the morning of Jan 1st. then we can enjoy the college football games all day.

Last year a friend gave me a terry cloth dish rag sewed together and filled with corn. You heat it up in the microwave to warm up and then put it wherever aches. Its very nice because it will fit any area. I love it

You are not alone. I can't convince any of my friends to go. They just all think I'm insane. That's okay though, it's fun for me. My hubby is pretty good and will go with me if he HAS to. Last year I just hit a few places by myself because we didn't have a sitter and I didn't really want to brave it all alone. This year, my aunt may go with me. Either way, I'm going. All day.
You must have a pretty nice aunt to give up her entire day to go shopping with you. Either that or she is just as crazy about shopping as You
For the rest of you all, I am the Aunt!

BF is MY DAY! I buy for others all year long and stockpile it. The BF deals are for me! Maybe a little selfish but I don't care,
I like that idea, My birthday falls on BF this year and I think I will do the same. Its all about me!

This is good to know. We are flying to Ft Myers, Florida in Dec and we were looking at car rentals at the airport. The cheapest is thrifty and its $365 for a week. Thanks you really helped us save some money.

I am ready for this hot weather to be gone and fall to be here. I get excited when I start seeing Christmas cards and other things come out early. I can shop all day on BF and not get a thing for anyone but me.

With the price of milk nowadays this is an excellent deal. If you have little kids you can always feed them cereal for snacks or even dinner. Thanks for the heads up!!!!
-
You know I don't have any grandchildren yet but with deals like this I am thinking why not! diapers won't go bad! Thanks :)

Well with flowers they usually die within a week, at least this way we get to enjoy them both by looking and eating them
-
Goodwill Thrift stores usually have a good selection of books also. Prices are .99 to 1.49

I got mine also, perfect timing for a baby shower gift.
Anyone else have their birthday on BF this year?

Thanks Christi, Yes my birthday is Nov 23 and falls on BF this year and my niece and I will be shopping all day. Hopefully she will buy my dinner. I was born in 62 and that also was on a Friday but I don;t believe they had big sales back then:g_hello:
