yw everyone & yes, you can use your member card on cafe stuff too, but a lot of times it's not worth it to me to dig it out since it's such a small savings..o well

Got an email about a special preview of their big clearance (says not being promoted to the public till the 29th), including books for $1.00, $1.99, $3.99, & $5.99, & 50% off calendars http://www.barnesandnoble.com/sale/index.asp?r=1

i woke up late & just went over to walmart to see what they had...it was PACKED, yelling, pushing & shoving..i will never go back there day after xmas again, it was all crap that had been picked over 5 times, nothing even half decent, i just got some bags of candy & ribbon, im hoping for better luck & less insanity tomorrow

tru's was posted by someone on maybe the offline deal forum? try a search

most dont, but yes, a lot of them do lose value (more profit for the stores, how novel!)...stay away from those amex gcs, we got my grandma one once & the fee was outrageous, plus online there's a shipping cost & there were lots of other little hidden problems..never again! & i would never buy a gc w/ a fee! (the amex my mom had me order) i think that;s just obscene

any idea when it goes down to 75?

oo that's cool, ive seen it done on tv shows & stuff but im not sure how any of those things could help you could come up with little rhymes that serve as clues for specific things in the direct path between your house & where it is, or you could send him all over town first lol try searching online for something like scavenger hunt clues, im sure there are some ideas out there! good luck!

what does the little header on the games look like? like, xbox's is black with green at the end, etc...some of the ones i posted above have this little orange bar above them along with the others for ps2, gamecube, etc, but i dont know what it represents it does say, tho, that all psp movies are 10% off yes, the polar express thing is dvd, it's the regular single (non-special edition or anything) one if you just bought it i would think you could get it price-adjusted, most places will do it w/i a reasonable amt of time

aww that stinks, nothing like that has ever happened to me tho...maybe it's bc it's coming thru toys r us?

warm with rain here

perhaps if you scheduled times for him to use your computer that would appease him a bit, rather than having to wait however long hoping you'll be done soon? a lot of kids in our family, tho, inherit old computers from relatives...we got our first comp when i was like 8, it was my uncle's old one, & then the one after that, our old mac went to my cousins (4 & 14 at the time) when we got another new one, so try asking around to see who has an old computer they may not want anymore

oo gotta tell my mom about that, thanks!

omg the exact same thing happened to me...i think mine even shipped the same day! im not panicking since it's just something for me, but the fact that the tracking number is invalid seems a bit fishy uh oh, now i am panicking - the rebate has to be postmarked by 1/20 & i need the packing slip! grrrr
