  1. At most, 4 miles for Bestbuy, and RIGHT across from BestBuy is a H U G E mall that has basically EVERY store you could ever imagine.
  2. Again, I feel like compact GPS systems will be another HOT item this year. I'm positive we will see good deals on these systems as soon as the ads come out. Also, check out gottadeal.com and the forums for hot deals right now, AND, as new systems come out, engadget.com will have them there as well!
  3. Mark my words.. Digital Frames will be H O T this year! I have two 15" ones that I paid out the rear for on Thinkgeek.com (which I HIGHLY recommend!) and I love it! It's Wi-Fi.. and I can connect it to my flickr stream. PLUS, on my flickr stream, I have a pro account so anyone that tags their photos with wx4svrframe gets their pictures sent directly to my picture frame here in my house. I have two of these and LOVE THEM! Check these out, they are a bit pricy, but they are AWESOME! Edit: I just checked ThinkGeek.com and they don't have my model anymore.. I will hunt mine down and post a link to it if anyone is interested. Edit2: FOUND IT! =) WOW.. price has come down! I got it for $450 when it first came out. It's now down to about $300. http://s.sears.com/is/image/Sears/00378427000?qlt=90,0&resMode=sharp&op_usm=0.9,0.5,0,0 Generous internal memory (10GB) Built-in multi format card reader Embedded 802.11b/g wireless connectivity Share pictures with Windows Vista or XP AND Mac OS X Web enabled for photo sharing through popular sites (Flickr or Photobucket, etc.) Plays MP3, WMA audio files Plays WMV video files Automatic slideshow Audio slideshow Built-in stereo speakers USB to PC USB to thumb drive, camera, etc. Onscreen menu system via touchscreen; customize to your style Remote control for convenient use Landscape or portrait orientation Desk top or wall mount Removable desktop stand
  4. We need more things like this one!! This one was fun! ... even if I didn't do it. lol
  5. Grrrr... I just got home as well. It's raining outside too... I think I'll skip this one. LOL!
  6. I have a feeling Barnes and Noble or Borders does book sales on BF... I think. lol. I use the interwebs for most of my book buying... which isn't a lot. lol.
  7. Hit: EVERYTHING!! Miss: For the first time ever.. NONE.
  8. I say skip the old TV... get a LCD or Plasma! JK. Just make sure your converter box is rated for your TV with respect to your connectivity. Also, don't be surprised if you have to get a new set of rabbit ears. I believe one expert said that if your rabbit ears are over 10 years old, go ahead and budget for a new set. For me though... I'm gonna stick with my Plasmas. lol. =)
  9. I'm sitting here at my desk in my home office FREEZING. It is like 63 in my house. Anyway... just thought I would pass along some new winter weather forecasts that have just came across my WX Wire... This from the Climate Prediction Center (CPC) Temperature Outlook: http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/long_range/lead02/off02_temp.gif Precipitation Outlook: http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/long_range/lead02/off02_prcp.gif I think those really do speak for themselves. To sum it up, the CPC, the official forecast, is saying a MILD winter for most of the country. As far as precip, more or less, normal except the southern US and south-western US which will see below normal, OR the OK - KS - TX area which will likely see above normal precip. Another blow below the belt for us snow lovers.
  10. Last night was a blast! Can't wait for another one! =)
  11. I am in there! Come Join!!!
  12. $2000... I wish I could stay under that! I usually spend around $3500-$4000 on BF Alone... not including the other presents throughout the year. lol.

  16. First off... welcome to the community! Second, I have actually never heard of this store. lol. So, I can't really comment on the best day to shop there. As far as the ad, if there is one, I'm sure it will be on here as soon as it becomes available. Just keep an eye on the forum or http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com
  17. Welcome to the Insane Asylum ... I mean, BlackFriday.GottaDeal.com =)
  18. Me too! You should send out a reminder e-mail to all us geeks. lol.
  19. Oh no.. I knew this one was going to come up. I had a bad experience once at a Best Buy. It was around 4:00 and they were handing out the tickets. Well.... this little old "lady" came up to me and offered to buy my TV ticket. I stood in line for over 10 hours to get that ticket, and I wasn't near to let it go. But, "she" drove up a hard bargain... the price of the 42" LCD was $599. "She" offered me $700 for it. "She" told me that "her" son just had a baby and that "she" wanted to get them something for their living room. Now, $700 wasn't a bad deal... So, being the nice person I was.. I said yes. Gave "her" my ticket, and "she" gave me $700 in cash. (I didn't get out of line because I still had many other tickets in my hand). I go on, not thinking about it, and I got all I wanted. As I was leaving the store, I see this little old "woman" picking up this 42" LCD by "her" self. I ended up parking right next to "her".... I come to find out as soon as I got to "her" car.......... "she" wasn't a "she"... and "she" wasn't old. It ended up being a 24 year old guy dressed up as a little old lady who really wanted this TV to show his buddies. I was soooooo P/O'ed. It wasn't even funny. But, I made a bit of a profit, and I ended up not even caring. I ended up getting a better TV for cheaper the next weekend. So, thats my HORRIBLE story. And I promise.... this is a true story.
  20. Weather Hint: DO NOT trust The Weather Channel. Seriously. If you want good forecasts... go to www.weather.gov then on the left hand column, enter your zip or city,state. The Weather Channel gets its info from ONE source, where as the National Weather Service gets its from around 150 sources. Trust me, you'll see the difference in accuracy.
  21. Best Buy... can't go wrong with Best Buy! I need a new LCD TV... mine went out =/
  22. (I'm shaking my head as I write this) Wow. lol. Women these days. =/
  23. Our BB isn't that cool. =*(
  24. O M G. You, my friend, take the prize for the most prepared. What time do you throw everything back in the car?
