I love it! She will treasure her forever.

I watched that one yesterday too. And the next 2 weekends' new movies are set to record already. I really wish the guide went out more than 2 weeks, I'm afraid I'll forget to record one. Don't want to miss any .

OH! See, now THAT I did not know! LOL. I should pay more attention. Thank you very much for the information.

Yes, and I know a couple places will have it on sale for Black Friday. I was just hoping to take advantage of today's sale. I suspect I'll be able to get Madden on sale on BF as well. I don't know about Injustice 2 though, I've never looked for that one before.

Bummer. I wasn't sure if it would be, but when I looked up the game, it did show the deal.

I was excited to take care of all 3 video games I need with Target's B2G1 sale. But, it wasn't meant to be. COD WWII preorders show available for the Xbox One, but when I put it in my cart it says it's out of stock . Guess I'll wait and see what kind of deals I end up with in the BF sales. I need Call of Duty WWII for XB1, Madden18 for XB1, and Injustice 2 for PS4.

I messaged them on Facebook last week to ask how to get one. They said that they are unable to mail them, but they would be in select newspapers today (10/29), or a copy can be picked up in store today while supplies last. I haven't decided if I want to get around and go to the city to get my hands on one or not. I just want one for the grands to do their wish lists.

There are some smaller items (like single makeup compacts, for instance) that they will not allow you to buy alone, because it would be cost prohibitive to ship just that. So, they require you order at least $25 worth of merchandise in order to get those items.

I agree with all of your points. And your plan to take your baby out on Friday sounds like a good one to me. Like you say, the crazy happens when the sales start. He'll be safe and warm waiting until Friday morning. One of my biggest Black Friday pet peeves is people that take their small children to Walmart on Thursday evening at the beginning of the sale, then by the time they are in the line to check out they are yelling at the kids for acting up. The children never should have been put in that situation in the first place. And to have a child anywhere near where fights are likely to break out, really ticks me off. I could go on and on, but I'll step down and mind my own business now.

I'm in Oklahoma. We might have tornadoes one day, and snow the next. We've BF shopped in everything from sleet & snow to t-shirt weather. A few years back we had so much rain, there was 3 inches of water in the parking lots. Had to buy dry socks, lol. This year, we should have a high around 50° and a low around 30°. But every Okie knows, that's subject to change and we're way to far out for accurate forecasting.

I saw the Echo in the Kohl's ad for $29.99, so obviously I was wrong Sometimes, it pays to be wrong.

We've made a lot of memories. A few of note would be: the year my sister and I showed up at the mall super early to go to KB Toys, only to find out that mall didn't HAVE a KB Toys. Then there was the year my sister stood in line to get in to Toys R Us, the line went all the way out to the street (don't know why they didn't have them lined up against the building), it was sleeting and her coat was in my car (I had left to go somewhere ELSE for a different "must have")! Or more recently, when my dil got my grandson a recliner. The guy at Atwoods was like "no way is that going to fit in the car". Well... http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k499/ts1852/603995_4109324451295_1861433049_n.jpg

Just a few more days to get signed up! It's a lot of fun, don't miss out.

When my son got married, I just added my new dil to the list. She gets the same # of gifts my sons get. I never had a daughter, so I've found shopping for her is a lot of fun, lol. If I get them gifts as a couple, it's included in their number, so my younger son might actually end up with more individual gifts, but they're all even. Everyone's family dynamic is different though. I don't think there's any one right way to do it. Follow your heart.

This does not help you at all, but it reminded me of a book I used to read as a child about a tree that was too tall, so they cut the top off. Instead of throwing it out, I think the maid took the top, but that was too tall for where she wanted it, so she cut the top off. So someone else took that piece and had to cut the top off, and by the end of the book everyone, down to the mice, had a nice Christmas tree . I need to see if I can find that book for my grandchildren. As for your dilemma, if you can figure out how to cut part of the bottom rod off (is it pre-lit, and is the rod part of that? Something to think about.), I think it will look fine for the bottom branches to be close to the floor. In fact, I prefer that look.

Then, there's this: https://www.facebook.com/thisisinsiderdesign/videos/494586957549605/ . It's a typewriter keyboard, for your tablet. Obviously, not what she's after. I just thought of this thread when I saw it . http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k499/ts1852/d8c408_44439797b2cf470baa235c73fb6202ba-mv2.png

I am usually able to get most, if not all, of my list online. But we still go out, and somehow I still spend money.

I was going to mention that that's a good price on that stand mixer. I have a 6 quart, and it's my favorite kitchen gadget. It's big enough to handle large batches at a time. I think I gave about $150 more for mine, so yes I would recommend it.

Sooooo, I'm beginning to rethink the push notifications. I was in the middle of cooking supper when the Kohl's ad was announced and couldn't get to the computer. It. Was. Killing. Me! LOL

Well, I didn't get a push notification about the JFK assassination, so here I am! Priorities in order.

Just went to make sure I follow you on Twitter (I do!), LOL. What I didn't know though, is that I could turn on push notifications to be automatically alerted when you post on Twitter. I don't get on Twitter all that often, so I have now turned that feature on as well .

I know they have people a lot smarter than me telling them how to run their business. But, do they REALLY make more money by having the sale on Thursday instead of early Friday? I mean, they get in limited quantities anyway, so they are probably going to sell out, and the store is like a ghost town on Friday morning. So, it isn't like they get business Thursday AND Friday, they get business Thursday INSTEAD OF Friday. Same money, if my logic tracks.
