Sleep!! that is it!! I guess I have it really easy, if that is the only conflict of my time!!

All of my families gift are shipped to all over the states. It is VERY expensive!!!! And I usually don't plan on shiiping when purchasing the gifts!!LOL!! Anyway, I love USPS(my sister delivers mail), and I love my fedex and UPS guys(they deliver to my house every day), but I now getting smarter about it!! I love any company that will gift box/wrap my purchase and send it to my family. I also love buying gift cards and having them sent directly. It is hard to adjust, but you will soon figure a solution that works for your gifting ideas and needs!!

My kids are allowed to ask for up to 3 things from Santa. they may get 1,2 or even all 3. Everything else really is from us. Unless there is something they haven't thought to ask for(like 4 wheelers this year) that will be super fun, and that is always from Santa. I think this might be my last year for the magic, my little one is 9.

I would love to get new steps for my hummer, cuz i am height deprived. Rumor has it,my little boys are getting those for me. i would love from my dh a 1 1/2ct. diamond ring...lets see if santa ever gets my letter!!!

i am ready for the chlallenge!! Anything i can do to help find something for someone...let me know!!

Ok, I do tend to start early, but I finished ordering this afternoon!! I have my DH's partner to buy for, and that is it!! I admit, I lost the shopping rush, after the whole Wal-mart ad thing. But to be finished this early...feels a little "bah humbug!!" Oh, I hope I find the fun again within the next 25 days!!

they have a page set up for Balck friday stuff!! http://www.amazon.com/Black-Friday-After-Thanksgiving-Sale/b/002-8532094-3283215?%5Fencoding=UTF8&node=384082011 If I didn't do this correctly, sorry!! This is my FIRST attempt on doing this!!!

Oh, you have to see the new lined crocs for winter!!! They are lined with a fleece that reminds me of the robes at Bath and body works! so soft!!

I also have an Kodak easy share, and just bought my DD a kodak v803 in pink!! Love em!! Use them and not be too afraid if something happens!!

If I pay $50 for a hooded sweatshirt..it is a gift. I will often throw the sock/undies/etc in a box with other articles of clothing. I have a hard time with basketball starting in January, so of course they need new shoes and shorts, warm ups, you name it. My home often looked like a sports clothing store with 2 highschool kids & 2 lil boys and their ball gear. I wrap those but don't really count them.

I only enjoy seeing the ads early to share the info with other mothers. My personal shopping for my family is usually complete by November 1st. I shopped BF for charity gifts and just to shop. I just don't know what to do with these responses I have gotten from Simley. I don't know what to think.

Dear Santa, It's me. Suprise Suprise. Normally, I know better than to write a letter to you, because I realize I am not on the "nice " list. this year is no exception. It seems I have gotten myself in a sticky mess with all the huff and fluff with leaking of the ads for Black friday. I am passionate about shopping, for myself and others. Just last week I tracked down and bought a coveted "wii" for my ds girlfriend's little brother( just to help you out on the big day). I wrote to the "store" and recieved not 1, not 2, but 3 responses. I am sooo needy of this little pen, because I cannot copy/paste without the help of the lovely people here at Gottadeal.com. This pen could be a growing experiance for me, and maybe even help me get on the "nice" list next year. I promise not to leave out any more yucky treats for you, maybe I could spring for something better since i doubt i will be shopping on BF, due to the only retailer within 50 miles of my home is the unamed retailer. Merry christmas to you all. Angie p.s. please tell rudolph hi for me!!

I am an goof on the computer. I emailed him yesterday asking him to rethink legal action, and to utilize internet resources to Walmart advantage. I got the same response as everybody else, except I replied to it. I was able to forward my email to bayhaysay, and she posted his 2nd response for me. I recieved this one this a.m.. I would love to post the enite correspondance, I have alerted a moderator to help me in this. I am worried if this really happened, and I think Brad needs to see it, for whatever reason.

Angela, My eight-year old daughter took a threatening hang-up call on this matter at my home yesterday afternoon. I am absolutely disgusted by what gottadeal is doing. -j. This is what I recieved from John Simley this morning. If I beleive it, it makes me really sad. I don't know if anyone here would stoop to that level, I doubt it, but or his first email to claim he cannot see what is going on here, then to blame soneone here for that, I am am stumped. I really hate to think that somehow this could of happened.

I got the same response as well. Has any one had any luck with local news or papers?

ok, I just got a response from Mr Simley himself, stating his Ip is banned from Gottadeal.com. He doesn't know what Gottadeal is telling us? I would love to post my/his email but I dont know HOW!!!!

My son wants one too. Where did you find the 39.99 ?

I could handle any type of response EXCEPT the one we got. They are very insulting. I may not be a big customer to them, but I was a customer.

Ok, i have made calls, sent emails, spread the word...Now what? What can I do next?

I emailed, included that if they wanted to take the lead on BF , they might want to actually realize that BF shoppers have a lot of useful information, and they should use it, instead of threatening us. Not to forget who their customers are!!!

I have 1 child married, one child moved out, and 3 at home. I put a lot of thought in to how to handle the changes. My thought is to purchase joint gifts for married. Things for the house, and such. I am struggling with how much to spend on them once they move out/not married.

i shop so much during the year, that my list is just names of people I need to remember. I try to have a master list on my computer, and a file folder with receipts hidden in my home of what I have bought. I am so close to being done this year!!!

Growing up we opened on Christmas Eve. My Mom couldn't wait any longer. Now we open one gift Christmas eve, and the rest in the morning.

It is a naughty word around here, but my local W!@#%^T carries that brand.

If i got a call from a local manager within the hour I called the 1-800-walmart, I think they are listening. I don't know what they will do, but I couldn't stress enough to the manager how poorly they are coming cross the their customers. I also brought up "free advertising" benefits, and the bottem line is profit margins. I personally spend more, when I can plan.
