aletellier Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 I've only been a member for a few days and this is my second post. I think this is a great website and this forum has helped me plan better for this Black Friday than all the ones before. So thanks to everyone for the alerts and tips. But, I would like everyone to take a moment to honor the true meaning of Thanksgiving (forgoing any historical inaccuracies I may type). Let's give thanks to the Native Americans for showing the European Newcomers how to survive in this great land of America (rather than letting them starve to death). For this in turn, allowed them to live and prosper and eventually lead to the birth of one of our great Presidents, Abraham Lincoln, who in a stroke of genius, declared the last Thursday in November as Thanksgiving Day. And let's also give thanks to Franklin D. Roosevelt for declaring it a national holiday. This wonderful day was strategically placed (I'm just guessing here) to give us an extra day off of work so that retailers could have those CHRISTMAS SALES, THIS IS THE GOOD PART.......... which allowed the BARGAIN GENE to evolve and give us the willpower to wake up at unspeakable hours in the morning all excited, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and stand in the freezing cold (in most areas) with our coffee and hot hands so that we can be one of the first in line to get that DVD Player for $17.99 and that Bratz Funky Fashion Makeover Head for $9.97 on that glorious day called BLACK FRIDAY!!!!!!!!! Okay, that's enough of a moment........ GAME ON, BABY!!!!!!!!!!!............GIVE ME THOSE BARGAINS!!!!!!!!!!!
