jayma... my walmart still has a display case full of garth brooks boxed sets:yuck: I've called, submitted my feedback and posted on Myspace. I literally live next door to WM (I can see their lights from my backyard!) and i will surely drive the 15 miles to Target and Kmart (eek!) Don't stop calling!!!! We really can make a difference, I was heavily involved in the Jericho Campaign and it worked!

thank you for asking shopping mom and thank you for the answers!! my daughter just recently discovered these and MUST have every single item so I've been scouting around!

well my most memorable black friday is from 2000.... and as a Toys R Us employee, not a shopper..... So there I was.....20 yrs old and BF ignorant. I got my orders to be at work at midnight (thanksgiving day) and I would be working until Noon the next day. I remember thinking that was crazy, we were going to be sooooo dead... turns out the store wasn't dead, but I nearly was! We're talking the year of Tickle Me Elmo, Amazing Amanda and the PSII!!!! Apparently the inside joke was to let the newbie(s) open the door..... I opened and RAN as fast as I could towards the back stockroom. The mob was at my heels and I remember thinking these people are NUTS.... I ended up getting shoved chest first into a T-Rack of shirts and flew OVER the hotwheel bed full of hotwheels, knocking it and me down to the ground, I was brusied for weeks..... After the initial rush there was a moment's peace... but just a moment. The Mountain bike doorbuster had sold out in the morning and this Man (father I'm presuming) caught a glimpse of one in our bike stockroom as he passed by... I was the unfortunate soul to be nearby. He wanted that bike, however, it had been returned and marked as defective days earlier and I could NOT sell him that bike, I even grabbed (literally YANKED, lol poor guy) my manager as he was walking by as back-up. We could NOT sell that bike, but offered a better bike for that price. This guy is yelling and screaming and pointing his finger in my face and then he does the most horrible thing. He spits in my face. My manager (who did have a soft spot for me) grabbed that man ( I loathe to consider him a father) and dragged his sorry behind out of that store......and then put me on a register (hello, that was waaaaay worse! lol) Now, that was my horrible story, the best story is taking my sis shopping with me last year, she called me a crazy psyco the whole time, but the other day she asked if we were going again this year.... and I know to stay away from TRU!!!

My 10 year old stepdaughter got a cell phone from grandma when she was 8 and I was very against it (quietly, lol~) but I quickly changed my mind. She lives in Minnesota for the school year and then down here for summers (OK) so i get to chat with her waaaay more than I did before~my ds (8) has one as well... we don't have a home phone anymore because we all have cells (hey, no more telemarketing!!!) and both our kids have been very responsible with them. they have to do chores and get "credits" for good grades, I like them having cells because then there are NO excuses for not calling me, not answering the phone, etc., I do however absolutely refuse to get them camera phones~not even Santa or Grandma can help them there!
