SHOPPING SCENES

Rather than face the nuttiness on Black Friday, I just cyber shopped. Not quite as satisfying, but you get to do it in your grubbies and no make-up.

I am appalled that the animals in New York could so cavalierly step over the prone body of the poor dude who's only crime was he drew the short straw and had to open the doors. I am sure that IPOD and WII were so worth a man's life. Bad enough as that was, it was especially galling that people were irritated when they tried to get them out of the store so they could remove his poor damaged body and investigate the scene. Even death doesn't faze our shopping jones. Disgusting.

They interviewed a woman here who said they had to go on this date. With the economy so bad, they had kids and gd forbid they deprive the over-indulged little who-whos from whatever electronic doo-dad they have to have. My parents had no problem telling us that this is all they have and that is the way it is. Led to my very unpatriotic habit of actually having the money before I buy something and paying my bills when they are due. What a tool! Slap me on my credit card. Hey I can still see the numbers on it! How many can say that? LOL

She,
I tried the Black Friday, took Dave with. In line at Kohl's for an hour. Lady in front of me said at Walmart last year, she was hit in the heel with a shopping cart, injured her achilles tendon, required surgery and everything. All the cart driver said was "THEN GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!" Totally disgusting. Something is really wrong.
