  1. Their headquarters is in MN so that would be CST, not sure if that makes a difference for online sales or not.
  2. I'm offering mine too. Size L...if you live in WI or Northern IL and didn't get your shirt, let me know. If you're in the Milwaukee-ish area, I'd even be willing to meet you somewhere and you could just skip the mail altogether. I can just wear my old one this year!

  4. This year, dd16 is going to a new high school. It's a small school with 174 students. It's a public school serving any student within the city of Milwaukee. The teachers and administrators started this school as a safe place for LGBT and any other student who may not fit into a traditional school environment for whatever reason. The staff makes amazing things happen everyday for kids that might not have any support anywhere else. The school is a public school, but gets little funding from the city. All school supplies are donated and purchased by teachers, the school nurse is paid for through donations, etc. The LGBT community has been very generous in their support of our little school and we are very lucky. This year, we're starting a Christmas fund for students that don't get gifts at home. We just provided a community potluck Thanksgiving for students and their friends/family. So many of these kids have been hurt by other kids and even their own families in the past. We want to help the school continue to provide the family atmosphere that they have. I <3 this school, it's amazing and it's the best thing that has happened for dd in a long time!
  5. One of our friends in Longview, TX posted a pic from work today of an occupied tent outside of Best Buy! Can't figure out how to post it here since it's on Facebook?
  6. I was there last night. There are quite a few items that are already on sale for the BF price. The cabin socks, the Columbia Simply Snowy Women's jackets, the Osito North Face jackets, and some of the boots. So, if this is a place that you need to go on BF, you might want to go ahead and check it out now!
  7. Now that we have an Amazon fulfillment facility in Wisconsin, this will most likely happen with them too. We already have to pay sales tax for Amazon orders now.
  8. Are these deals going to be available only on BF or can we get them when they are announced? I'm a little confused.
  9. Will probably stop by to check out the boots. Can't ever have too many boots, especially at 50% off!
  10. Maybe I need to get a redcard. I don't shop at Target very often but for BF, might be worth it!
  11. It most likely won't last too long if they strike here. It's just too cold out. I'm all for the employees' rights to demonstrate as long as they don't create an unsafe situation for customers. They have the right to demand whatever they want, just as their employer has the right to make the best business decision for their company. Our city recently voted to increase minimum wage to $10.10/hour. I would imagine that's as close as they're going to get to what they're asking for.
  12. I'm notorious for sticking random items from around the house into stockings. I never remember to buy the "regular" stocking stuffer things! So, the kids and dh get weird things like: fruit snacks, fruit, snack bags of chips, leftover Halloween candy, soda, juice boxes, change, sample size stuff I get in the mail, magnets, promotional items with random companies logos on it, unused items from sets of cologne or beauty items, packs of tissues, band aids, pencils/pens, etc. You never know what I will find. It's kind of become a family tradition at this point.
  13. We've always done the Christmas pickle too. I got one as a teenager for my parents' tree and when I moved out on my own, the pickle came with! It's the only glass ornament on the tree that the cats haven't broken. Yet.
