A word of BF advice....
If you happen to decide to go with your mother because you are visiting for Thanksgiving, and she offers to hit Wal-Mart and grab what you want for you while you wait in line at BestBuy...
Never EVER think that she will be able to pull it off.
"All the digital cameras looked the same to me."
"But Mom, I gave you a copy of the ad with the one I wanted circled."
"But I got a great deal on this VCR."
"VCR? What the heck does anyone need a VCR for anymore? They had a DVD player for the same price! Why didn't you get that?"
... but I digress...
