  1. I thought some there were some decent deals in it. I think by and large the HUGE deals are a thing of the past, margins on profit get tighter so you can only slice in there so much before it's just not worth it. I have been hoping SOMEONE would have a good deal on a Surface Pro 3 this year since the Surface Pro 4 is now out.
  2. So far I may do the Apple TV discount if it includes the new one (ya I'm a geek have 2 other Apple TV's, FireStick, Chromecase, Roku and stuff built in the TV's) Will probably give my other Apple TV's to my inlaws and replace it with this one. Will probably end up trying to snag the Apple Watch for my wife since I have been thinking about it to replace the FitBit HR i got her, the $100 gift card will make it nice to pick up some toys for our daughter so win-win. We want a bigger TV for the bedroom so we can move that one to the basement but jury is still out on which we will go for. Rock Band 4 isn't bad either (ya we played the heck out of that for years) so that could be a family present. Probably get some movies, may grab the bond ones one sale today lol.
  3. Think we may go and get some of the good towels on Friday. Most of ours are OLD or cheap and it's time for some new goods ones.
  4. Ya we need a bunch of new cookie sheets. Old ones have about had it.
  5. I should have my light show working fully in the next few days. If all goes well I can start putting up some lights for it this weekend.

    I love the stuff but it's SO rich I have to watch how much I eat or I will have HORRIBLE indigestion lol. Doesn't really stop me from eating it.
  7. I would like to see one in a jersey style, something with like Team GottaDeal.com on it. Have the chest logo/slogan. Have GottaDeal.com across the shoulder on the back. Maybe make a few with the Captains C on them lol.
  8. I don't always think it's the content of the game but how the people playing the game tend to act and talk. I refuse to have chat on while I play most online games because I don't want to hear a bunch of 10 year old's talk in a manner that would make even the most haggard sailor blush. JUST MY OPINION
  9. I want to move all the ad's over to our smart phones to make them easier to look at while in stores
  10. My wife just discovered them last week she will be happy

    I have a few brands I use, I think you need to figure out which type, in ear, on ear or over ear. After that decide on what price point you want to be in. You're going to get people who will swear by some name brands and others that will tell you they are junk and that goes from the lower end to the expensive stuff. Beats are decent on build quality but tend to be better for music with heavy bass. Bose all I can say is if you like how they sound go for it I have a pair of their over ear noise cancelling and I love them for plane rides but I don't expect studio quality sound out of them if you can get a great deal go for it, one thing I can say I love about Bose is their trade in policy for headphones. I traded in my first gen noise cancelling for one of their newer models and only paid $100 and at that point I had the old ones for in excess of 7 years and they needed new foam on the ear pieces which is why I had called them to begin with. I REALLY like Bang & Olufsen but they tend to get very expensive and I'm not sure I've seen sales on them. Personally I think sound is a very personal thing and what may sound great to me may sound like cats screeching and kids banging on garbage cans to another and vice versa. Pick your price range, look at what fit's that range and take a look at whats in that range for reviews and then look for those on sale. Most younger people I know like beats as much of the music now tends to fit into that heavy bass range. Sorry for the long winded post
  12. I'm WAY older than 8 and I like playing the Lego games with my daughter and wife lol.

    Sounds like our house growing up. Place was packed top to bottom with family and friends at the holidays. Those were the good days.
  17. A lot of them around me are 24 hours I think they are open all but 1 day a year. I haven't seen their holiday hours go up yet though.
  18. New Egg is also a good place for parts. I'm sure MicroCenter will have a good add out if you have one in your area.
  19. I was thinking about the $1 phone and the Slow Cooker (would be good for our tailgating dips) but it's Turkey day and I say no mas.

    I really like his methods and recipe's in general, I've just always found wet brining to be scary for novice cooks so I went with the tried and true lol. I normally fry our turkey after injecting it with a homemade injection sauce before it goes in. This year I'm going to try smoking it and see how that comes out. I pray for my guests, one because it's my first time doing a turkey this way, two because I will have to be up looking at ad's all night and waiting for things to go online and I will also be going out to start the turkey REALLY early so I may be cranky. That topped with I will have to watch my Lions get destroyed on TV yet again this season.

    Wow I COMPLETELY forgot Pumpkin Pie Turkey is fairly easy to make. Preheat your oven to 325. Make sure the turkey is completely thawed, open it up and make sire you get all the giblets and neck and such out of it. I usually rinse it out well then pat it all dry. I usually put a little olive oil on the skin sprinkle with some salt and pepper inside and out. Put it in a shallow roasting pan (if you use the aluminum disposable ones I suggest a cookie sheet under for stability) breast side up. Roast it until the thickest part of the breast is about 165 degrees and the thigh is about 180. Usually about 2/3 rds of the way into cooking I cover it loosely with foil so that the skin doesn't get overdone. I've also seen people put the foil on for the first hour or so then pull it, whichever works for you. The time in the over will depend on the size of the bird. Once you pull it from the oven let it sit for 10-15 minutes for the juices to pull back in then carve it up.

    Should be about 15-20 people here for dinner.
  24. Ya it was like 75 here yesterday. Not the kind of weather that makes me think fall lol. I got new Christmas Lighting computer all setup and got the relays working. Now I just have to build the receptacle's and get it all put in a weatherproof box and I should be ready to start putting up the lights and having the show ready. I grabbed a few of the Trans Siberian Orchestra songs now I just need to find some more songs to have it play. I need them in MP3 format. Any suggestions for songs people would like to hear and see in a Christmas light display?
