[Hiding Places :)]

I use my bedroom closet. There is always under the bed and the garage when I run out of room. My kids know to stay out of my room when the closet door is open. Of course I normally just close myself in when I am geting clothes or shoes since I have to shift things around.

[Anyone from South Carolina????]

I'm from the upstate, going shopping in Greenville. Wheeee:greenappl

[The Children's Place]

Thanks. This is one of my favorite stores but I only shop there for kids during sales

[Not Happy]

Sorry to hear. Hope you find something soon. Is it me or does it seem like job cuts always happen at this time of the year?

[Little People or Care Bears?]

my nephew never really played with his little people but he still has his care bear and he must have it whenever he is sick. However I agree you should be able to move fast and get both

[Help with gift for 22F]

i would do a basket thing.at our craft store they have very fragrant candles for 3 dolars.you could add some sample size bath n body works stuff and maybe a gift card for a movie at blockbuster.find a very decorative basket or maybe just a painted busket at the craft store and stencil it yourself:greenappl

I have done this before. It generally is well liked.

[Black Friday Bartering]

I've done that before at WM. The woman had waited in line as long as I had and we both wanted things that were at opposites ends of the store so we each got things for the other and then met up at the big thing that we had wanted (my sister went and sat on them for us as the had to have 2 people to put into the buggy). I don't see anything wrong with it. Makes me feel good to know that not everybody feels the need to act horrible on BF. Besides we both made some kiddies very happy that year.

[Wal-mart screwed up. Insider Info]

Something like this happened to me couple years back. Only this time they posted nothing. I thought that the police would have to be called. Needless to say there were some very unhappy people. WM just doesn't seem to care much.

[My fave bf secret]

I never thought of doing that. Thank you for the tip. Definitely gonna do that this year.

[Does anyone take their grandmother shopping?]

My grandma won't go on BF. I asked her to and she just laughed at me. I enjoy going shopping with her. Not only can she "wander" when she is in the mood, but if it a hurry trip she can go faster than me.

[How many days does it take you to finalize your BF plan?]

I normally know what I am going to buy and then I check the ads. I then make up all my lists by store. Sometimes the lists change a few (too many) times as I find something cheaper somewhere else.

[It's going to be snowing IN my mall!]

I wish our mall here in Spartanburg, SC would do something like that to get us all in the holiday spirit! It's been too HOT here lately to think of Christmas, but at least we are finally having some colder weather with temps last night in the upper 20's!!! YEA!!!! I finally feel like the holidays are coming with the temps about 25 degrees colder than it has been around here@!!@!

I wish any of the malls in the area would. It would be worth the drive to see ie.

[Tipping deliveries]

Thanks y'all. I really didn't know

[Stockings...just the kids or the whole family?]

Everyone has stockings (including pets) and they all get filled. I really hate filling mine but the kids expect it. The kids have stockings at grandma and grandpa's.

[Tipping deliveries]

I have never ordered online before this year. Is it ok to tip the guys that deliver it? Expected? A no-no? I have only received a few of my items so far and did not know whether to do so or not. Please help.

[Circuit City Black Friday Ad Items & SCANS Posted!]

Thank you. You guys are wonderful.

[Do *NOT* forget!!!]

I will be here. I did not know about all this until now but I am addicted now. I love to read everything here. My sister and friends tease me saying that I am never off the comp. I just refer them to gotta deal and tell them to try it and see if they an stay away.

[How Many Of You Watch ....]

I watch all of them, so do my girls. THey have a frosty dvd that they got last year and have watched it year round and still can't wait for it to come on tv.

[Have You Ever Taken Back...]

I take back doubles as well as some of the things that are not what I want them playing with. Clothes are the biggie that i have to exchange since most people can never get the right size. Does anyone else have this problem - no matter how many times I tell someone the right size they can never get it right (and I haven't changed in 4 years)?

[Do you buy same amount of gifts or spend same amount of $]

I do both. My kids are close in age and like alot of the same things so that makes it a little bit easier for me.

[Cabbage Patch - Whats the difference between Newborn and Babies?]

I believe (and not a 100% at all) that the regular dolls are 18in the babies are 16in and the newborns are 14 but I am just going off the CPK sewing patterns I have so no idea if that is still accurate

I believe this is correct. If I remeber right it was kinda that way when I was little. My preemie was smaller than the others.

[Which leapfrog for almost 2 yr old?]

The bus is better. My twins loved the bus but hardly played with the pad.

[Anyone Call You Crazy???]

Yes everyone says I am. However my friend (over 6 ft and big)is going just so that he can help.

In Greenville it was 5 I think
