Looks like we won't be getting to do much this year. Delays in construction it's looking like week before or week of Christmas before we move. OH YAY lol

Just an FYI the 60" Sony TV is actually a 60Hz not 120Hz as Walmart has it listed. I looked on Amazon and Sony's site.

Lowes has some pretty good pre-black friday sales going on right now for washers and dryers. We are looking for all appliances right now so I keep watching the ad's.

We are a small family but it's organized. We pass out the presents to the 3 of us (usually my wife hands them out) then we let my daughter open all of her's then she helps us open ours.

I'm thankful for my awesome wife and daughter, the rest of our family, great friends, both having good jobs that we get enjoyment out of and just overall that the lord has blessed us.

We have been doing things like LED Flashlights, travel shampoo (good brands), candy, little games and various other things.

I tried getting smart and bought a programmable remote with a touch screen for both my parents and my inlaws a few years ago.
I programmed one button to turn on all the devices (receiver/DirecTV/BlurRay/HDTV).
But the receivers had a separate "on" vs. "off" signal, so I had to program a separate button to turn all the devices off.
Remote controls have been around for what, a solid 30 years now? At least? Is it really a hard concept to remember that the remote needs to be pointed at least roughly at the devices in order to turn them on or off? Invariable, since the remote has a screen, the user wants to look at and watch the screen (which doesn't do anything but show you the name of the button) when they press it. It has a screen - it must be watched. Therefore, the remote was more often than not pointed at the ceiling when the button was pushed meaning the devices were always getting out of sync. I fought with them both for about 6 months before I just took the remotes away and told them to go back to using their stack of remotes. You would have thought I was trying to teach them to speak a new sign language that uses only their feet or something.
But the remote works fine for me. And now I have 2 backups...
You could always use an RF remote for this, I have used them in the past for components that aren't in the same room. With the IR Blaster it works really nice. Also is a great help when my daughter decides to park her toys in front of the electronics so the IR port is blocked.

Most years I don't ask for anything in particular, usually when I want or need something I just get it at that point. But the last few years I've held back on that and leave some things I would like for my wife and daughter to be able to buy things for me for my b-day and Christmas. This year with us building our new house I've told my wife if she is able to find a good deal I would like one of the cordless tool combo kit's, one with a drill, impact driver, saw and a couple batteries.

Went and found this one also, sounds REALLY good. Going to have to try making these.

Going to go the selfish route this year and use the rest of the money for others gifts but for this new found $1000 I would get the following:
Sharp 70-Inch LED 1080P HDTV SmartTV from AAFES for $999.00

Yes I do the same thing at BestBuy all the time. I go in knowing what I want with the same sku already looked up and they match it.
-
I would tend to agree the PS4 CAN be a little bit faster due to the faster ram in the machine, though MS has done some things to make up for it. All in all I usually tell people look at what their friends have and PLAY and then go with that. They will most likely get into playing online with their friends and then you need the same systems. All in All this current gen is VERY similar in specs and speed and each will have it's exclusives, there really isn't one I would call flat out better now.

TRU, Home Depot, Lowes and GameStop are the ones I'm waiting on. Need stuff from Lowes and HD for the house lol COME ON APPLIANCE GREAT DEALS
-
I have wondered for a while how they are still in business. I try and stay away from there if at all possible. I don't have issues with the people who work there they are usually nice enough to me but i have an issue with their prices. They are usually a decent amount higher than anywhere else.
-
You can probably also use Site to Store if you're under the $50 cap to still get free shipping. I have done this in the past.
-
Awesome news. I'm sure Amazon will have some good deals on things we want and need so I will be taking advantage of this for things I will need right then vs waiting for prime shipments (yes 2 days is too long lol)
-
What people like in a router varies person to person. I tend to go for quality over price as I depend on my network and it's speed, I tend to prefer Amped Wireless stuff due to the signal strength and speed I get out of them. Have used it for friends and clients and had no bad feedback. Now you don't need their highest end one but even the others aren't really cheap. Netgear I'm NOT a fan of
-
Well unless they have a huge stock or a bunch of the stuff I want pops up online looks like a LOT of everything I would want is in the 6PM Thursday part of the ad which means we will not be there to buy it. Bummer some decent deals.
