Did you get that on special? Say's $450 right now. At $250 would be a steal and something I might think about picking up. I use a Mac Air but sometimes I need Windows and something WAY smaller than my work laptop would be nice.

I said it last year and will say it again the only way I can. I won't go out to the stores on Thanksgiving and give them my money. I will order what I can online and get the rest at my normal insane hours of the morning on Friday lol.

I watched the ones back in July on Lifetime I think it was. We were on vacation in the mountains so when I had nothing I wanted to do I would crash on the couch and watch them lol NEVER too early for a Christmas movie. This year I won't get to start watching the ones we have early as everything is in storage until the new house is done which isn't probably until Thanksgiving or so

Well to be honest it made my shopping day a little easier. I have come to the realization that I will never again get a door buster that you have to be in store for. Though we still got everything else that we wanted last year and the stores were a lot less busy than they have been in the years past. We went out at our normal time and pretty much walked in and got what we wanted and the things I wanted to make sure we didn't miss out on we got online on Thanksgiving when they went live and had them delivered. I did miss the hustle and bustle that we normally had but all in all we kept out tradition alive. This year we have relocated so we will have to find new places to do our shopping and eat.

Ain't no party like a Black Friday Party

It's crazy how fast mid-september seems to be getting here. I could swear the other day it was just the start of June

I'm hoping our new house is done and we are settled in. Right now it might be cutting it close which would suck. Oh well if I don't get to go out I guess I will be helping around here all the more lol.

Will be fun trying to figure out where to shop this year. Not to mention freezing our butts off. Moving back to MI, I've been in FL 16 years now so a lot of the places I used to shop there are no longer around lol.

Looks like it's going to be a new TV year this year. We are moving out of state at the end of this month and I'm not taking my plasma with us. SO we will be getting a new TV on BF. I'm hoping for some killer deals on 70"+

I tell you I was majorly bummed. I was like now we need to find a REAL hobby shop so I can bask in all of it's glory lol. We were out of town at this time so looking for one proved fruitless. We have normally already started but this year we are moving long distance at the end of July and we don't want extras to pack so we haven't bought anything yet. Hope to get started once we get into the new house.

I avoid Hobby Lobby. They tricked me with their name. My wife asked me one day if I wanted to go to Hobby Lobby. I was like R/C Cars, Planes, Trains and so on HECK YA I'M ALL IN. We get there and I'm like what the heck is this, it's Michaels with a different name. Now don't get me wrong stores like this are just fine but don't get my hopes all up and then shoot me down. Now I don't go there with her unless she is reminded that it's not a hobby store in MY eyes.

We are all going to blink and it will be here. Funny thing is someone brought it up yesterday. My wife and I are re-locating to MI in August and yesterday my MIL said so what are we going to do for Black Friday. We said come to MI and we will go lol.

Don't know if anyone is in the market but Woot has Gemmy inflatable on their sellout site right now. I just bought the animated Snowman Popcorn Cart for $40 http://sellout.woot.com/plus/gemmy-airblown-christmas-inflatables-3

Sweet now we can start planning REALLY early and no one has to ask when the forum will open.

Still have a couple stocking stuffers to pick up today, flat out slipped my mind. Will run to Walgreens in a little while. Have a little cleaning in the kitchen to do then just start preparing the meal and we are good. Merry Christmas all

I was able to get through to MyRedCard online. Was very slow but worked fine. I don't think this is just about the target cc and debit card I think this is any card, a lot of the reports I've seen said they are sending data to banks to match up with their systems for people that have been hurt. So to me this means if you used anything OTHER than cash and possibly gift cards you need to watch your account. I used my one that goes against my bank account but I've seen nothing so far. I have a feeling anyone affected will now be getting new cards. To me this sounds more than just someone grabbing a DB it actually sounds like another scam I've heard going on where people are hacking firmware for card readers and having the actual terminal you're using do the skimming of the needed information. This has been happening around the US for some time now. To me this just screams of insider people from these terminal vendors I remember reading that there was a ring busted for doing this to Barne's n Nobel. I've had some ideas on how to stop a lot of this but they are only half formed (well except the ones that require a band of ninjas )

We finished off a couple more people over the last couple of days. Will finish another tonight. I have all except stocking stuffer's and maybe some footie pj's for my wife. As for wrapped we have nothing really wrapped except the stuff my wife took to work for her angel tree child. All 4 of the trees are now decorated all the inside of the house is decorated except a couple things that keep falling for some reason. Santa is in the yard and some outside lights are up. Getting closer but it's been so hectic at home and work lately it seems it's still going to be some last minute things popping up.

Not done shopping yet and nothing is wrapped. Hoping to have that all done this weekend. Need to get some presents sent back home for family also so they aren't late.

We ordered from Wal Mart, Target, Amazon, Toy's R Us and everything has arrived. If you got no emails or anything it sounds like your order never actually made it into the system.

My guess would be a panini maker which is used to press and grill sandwiches.

Just watched it. Was pretty funny.

I hate the earlier and earlier hours and I'll just leave it there for that. As for the ad's I thought there were some good ones and some stinkers. Can honestly say this is the first year BestBuy had nothing at all I wanted and if it wasn't for some of the people with us shopping I wouldn't have even went in there this year. I really liked that Wal Mart had a lot of stuff online and I got the big things I would have missed since I refused to go out shopping on Thursday. Grabbed the links from here did some online surfing to their site and spent way too much money lol. All in all it was honestly a very early day for us. We left the house at 4AM did some shopping went for our traditional Cracker Barrel BF breakfast, finished up our shopping and where back home and relaxing by like 1PM I think it was. Didn't even bother heading back out. Was impressed that some of the purchases from BF ordering started showing up today though.

The Razer line of mouse pads work very well, they are also larger so it makes it nicer for gaming. Amazon usually has very good deals on them I got mine at about 50% the price a friend got his for from Razer itself.

Ya they ran out and then didn't even have the decency to say anything had the local police tell people and then send them away. One would think between this type of stuff and the fights Wal Mart would figure out a better way of doing things.

My wife just read in the local paper that the Land O Lakes Wal Mart ran out of the 1 hour guarantee things refused to do anything and asked the police on site to tell the customers and make them go away. BAD PR in my eyes.
