Black Friday

Well, we survived Thanksgiving and had a wonderful meal with our family.  What a joy it is to come together and enjoy a meal.

Black Friday.............I don't go out anymore on Black Friday.  Did it once and understand what "Going Postal" really means!

Thus, I thought I'd be smarter this year and grab all my deals online.  I found a 12-Volt Ride on Mercedes for my granddaughter at WalMart for a blow out price of 99.00.  Trust me, this is a great deal.  Vanessa originally wanted the Lightning McQueen car which on sale was 239.00.  So I read the ad and it said that all sales start at 10:00.  So at 10:00 p.m. I'm on line and the product read, not for sale at this time.  What the heck?  So I read the ad again.  The sale started at 10:00 p.m. for those visiting the store itself.  Not for me.  So I figured, okay.  The online sales start at midnight.  Only 2 hours away.  So around 11:57 I started hitting the refresh button.  To no avail.  It kept telling me not available for sale at this time.

Now, you must understand, we all work in different time zones and we all get confused when there is a meeting and have to ask is that EST or PST?  Same goes with online sales.  I had to sit there until 2:57:59 until that darn car went on sale online.  I got the car but no sleep. 

Please tell me about your black Friday antics!  I love hearing these stories.
