  1. Cold Hard CASH!! Go hit an ATM tonight and get the cash you need for part of your purchases, and then use your Debit card for the rest.
  2. Wow, the ad sucked. BUT if you look on the http://holiday.ri-walmart.com/?section=secret (wal-mart page) they are showing a KitchenAid Classic Stand Mixer for $139 on BF from 5a-11a. This one was not int eh ad flyer at all..... Looks like Wally-World, got the hint that the BF flyer sucked and decided to reveal one of the "Secrets" early to lure us back into the store.

    some wal-mart rumors

    Yea, Wal-Mart is doing LOTS of mis-information this year. When the Toshiba HD-DVD's are spotted, they were $198. Some Wal-Marts put them out early and then the registers would not even ring them up. So the rumors were $198 for that coming weekend, when in fact the real price was $98. So, since Wal-Mart has told all deal sites they will sue of they post deals earlier than the 19th, you can expect Wal-Mart has something really, really interesting in the works. Only 3 days, 19 hours to go.....

  5. I've seen them for the last 10 years or so. But the ones I've seen were hung from the ceiling so the possibility of them "falling over" were not possible. THe tree was a smaller tree (about 4-5 foot) and whe hung from teh ceiling it was up off the floor be a good 3 foot. I thkn it looks wierd, but who am I to tell somoe how to put pu their tree or how to decorate it. Everyone has thier "thing" and I'll let them express it until they try to push it on me or it interferes with what I'm doing.
  6. The white ones look sort of "freakish" to me. I bought White icicle lights last year and returned them after abotu 2 days of having them up. The colored lights look great and I like that they are very low power. Personally I would like to change out all m lights for these (with the exception of the white ones).
  7. Well, if you are going to post something like this, you need to explain WHY. Since you're not going to be at CompUSA, that'll mean everyoen at your store will be one spot closer to the fornt.....Thanks....
  8. Funny story on outside dedorations. Wife and I bought a new house last summer ('05). We planned on some lights and things for hte house for our first Christmas in the house....nothing spectacular or outrageous. Well, as fall approached and I planned out the lights and such, I noticed as the leaves fell off this one tree in our backyard had strings of lights in it. None of them worked, and some were growing into the limbs of the tree. I thought I better get them out of there before it hurts the tree. so I started pulling and pulling. About 25 strings of lights later I had all but 2 strings from the top of the tree. 25 stirngs...OMG the tree was only 1 -1/2 story tall. Too bad none of the worked and I broke a lot of the before they came down....it could've saved my $$$ on the decorations on the front of the house. LOL But a word of caution.... Avoid the white LED icile lights. I'm all for lower cost power bills and saving money, but these lights just look nasty. They leave a freaky white glow on the house. The colored LED lights are great and extremely bright and don;t use much power.
  9. Front: "I'm here for the: TV Laptop Doll DVD's And anything else you have tickets for..." BACK: "Sucks to be you..."
  10. 12 Pains of Christmas.....Best comedy song. But on a serious note: Silent Night, and all the "classic" songs. I used to sing on Highschool and I have fond memories of singing these songs for the elderly and sick. Watching them get teary-eyed got me choked up while singing. Now when I hear the songs all those memories come back. We even did 5 or 6 of the songs in different languages like Spanish, French, German, Russian, and some even in Sign Language.
  11. LOL. I think I've got enough people coming over this year. Me and wife Mom and dad Sister and her hubby Nephew and his girlfriend Aunt and guest Father-in-law And possibly my other sister (from out of town) and her hubby
  12. Making Christmas cookies with Mom and sisters around Thanksgiving. The recipies are about 150+ years old and handed down from generation to generation. We've been sworn to secrecy, with penalty of being kicked out of the will, if we give out the recipies to anyone outside the immediate family. Also, Checking out the huge displays of lights on other houses, Watching Christmas movies, and just beign with the family.
  13. No one in our immediate area, but several people go "all out" . THe Newspaper puts a map in the paper of the known light shows, and The news stations even have contests to see who has: 1) The best lights overall 2) most creative 3) The Most lgihts 4) Most entertaining Me - I just got for pretty. Icicles on gutters (2 story house), bushes covered, wreathes in windoes with candles, maybe an inflatabel and few small trees in yard. My front yard isn't big enough for a big light show, but the back yard is, too bad noone can see it except my wife and I.
  14. If they have anything descent that I need, I'll go there otherwise I'll stay nice a warm at home eating a Turkey sandwhich watching Christmas Vacation for the 1500th time.
  15. $1 to stand....$2 to sit. BYOTP (Bring Your Own Toilet Paper).
