Still did not get the store ad in the mail but I did get it through an email. The item that I want is back on sale at a lower price. Thank the Lord!
Now all I have to do is hope and pray that tomorrow morning I can get myself out of bed early and have the strength to get dressed and get my taxi man to take me to the store where I hope they have the item!
If they don't have the item I will be sorely disappointed.

Crazy Mail
Have you ever noticed that when you are dead broke and cannot shop the sales mailings are sitting at your doorstop just taunting you? But when you do have money to shop and gifts to buy the mail is as slow as a snail getting to your door.
I am waiting anxiously for a certain store circular to get here, praying that the item I want to buy my wife for Christmas is on sale and cheaper than it has been since Christmas is fast approaching.
If it isn't on sale I am going to have to rethink my gift for her and that will not make me happy at all. I want her gift to be something very, very special! I did not want her gift to be a last minute decision that will please her because everything I buy her makes her happy, I wanted her to be ecstatic instead.
Come on mailman, where the heck are you???

Posting Fool Today
And tomorrow looks to be about the same! Hope I do not bore anyone to tears or anything but I have things that I must do, I'm sure you all understand.
In the midst of all this stuff I must do is still the task of buying a Christmas present for my wife. I am sorely disappointed that the prices for what I wanted to give her have skyrocketed out of my reach. Serves me right though for waiting so long.
I normally have all my shopping done early because I shopped online mostly at Ebay using my PayPal money. Quick and easy, shop,buy,wait for delivery. But not this year.
Because I have no bank account PayPal says I have reached my spending limit through the years and refuses to let me do anything with my money other than request a check.
Nice little catch-22 there, a check for a man without a bank account. However I have solved that part, the place where I cash my retirement check every month has gladly allowed me to cash checks from PayPal as well.
So, I have cash to shop with I just need to get out of the house once I find the gift I wish to buy her, run in the store and get it, run back out to the cab and get back home and back onto the oxygen.
And, I will find her gift!!!

It Figures
Have had my lovely wife's Christmas present planned for a while now, been seeing the item at great prices when I didn't have the money for it. Now I am running out of time and, of course, the prices have skyrocketed! It figures!
Now I must think of something and soon. It is already the tenth of December, only 2 weeks left to figure out what to buy her, find a day when I have the stamina to do it and get her present. God help me!
I don't often miss being able to run out and shop but when it comes time for present buying I miss that ability a lot. It stinks to get old and decrepit :(

How Strange
Went bowling on my league yesterday and actually bowled very well for a change. Didn't do the team much good though as we lost three of the four points LOL
I like the new poker site NoPay Poker but they really need to work on their software. In a five player game two of the five were "away" for the entire time I was there, roughly 45 minutes. I finally got tired of playing with the one other person that was actually playing the game and went all in with nothing and lost. The problem is that in that five person game they only pay out 2 positions and the two that were away were probably going to end up winning all the money. How retarded!
I did some Christmas shopping online last night for the two females in my life. Hopefully their presents will get here in time LOL
The mice in my house are getting noisier and bolder. What the hell is up with that? Aren't they supposed to be afraid of humans? I definitely need to buy some mouse traps! I hate mice!!!

Where Do You Put That Gift?
It's time for Christmas shopping in a big way. Even though the news people keep saying that the economy is still down and people are not going to be spending a lot of money I don't see that as being true. The folks they interviewed for Black Friday waited overnight in long lines to buy really expensive items like laptops and HD televisions and big screen t.v.s. Does that sound like they aren't parting with their hard earned dollars?
If you are one of the many that is ready to buy (or has already bought) a new television for that family room or bedroom then you are also going to be in the market for tv stands. You can't just set that big screen t.v. on the floor, that would be tacky and pretty silly.
I know most people wouldn't even think about these things, their thoughts are gone as their eyes glaze over just admiring that screen and how wonderful every television show and movie is going to look on it. But, once you've bought that gift for the family where are you going to put it?
First off, I'd offer some advice, but I don't really have any as I have no clue what your living space looks like and I doubt that you'd give me the details. But, you can get some advice from people that know what's what about such things. If you need help choosing a stand or a mount, give them a call at 800-807-1477. They will be happy to help you decide which mount or stand is the right one for you and your television room.
So, that should solve the placement problem. Then all you have to do is put the set wherever you want it, on the stand or mount of your choosing and sit back in your easy chair and enjoy!

So Much For Christmas Spirit!
NEW YORK – A Wal-Mart worker was killed Friday after an "out of control" throng of shoppers eager for post-Thanksgiving bargains broke down the doors at a suburban store and knocked him to the ground, police said.
At least four other people, including a woman eight months pregnant, were taken to hospitals for observation or minor injuries, and the store in Valley Stream on Long Island closed for several hours before reopening.
Nassau police said about 2,000 people were gathered outside the store doors at the mall about 20 miles east of Manhattan. The impatient crowd knocked the man to the ground as he opened the doors, leaving a metal portion of the frame crumpled like an accordion.
"This crowd was out of control," said Nassau police spokesman Lt. Michael Fleming. He described the scene as "utter chaos."
Dozens of store employees trying to fight their way out to help the man were also getting trampled by the crowd, Fleming said. Witnesses said that even as the worker lay on the ground, shoppers streamed into the store, stepping over him.
Kimberly Cribbs, who witnessed the stampede, said shoppers were acting like "savages."
"When they were saying they had to leave, that an employee got killed, people were yelling 'I've been on line since yesterday morning,'" she said. "They kept shopping."
The 34-year-old man was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead at about 6 a.m., police said. The exact cause of death has not been determined, and the man's name was not released.
A 28-year-old pregnant woman was taken to a hospital, where she and the baby were reported to be OK, said police Sgt. Anthony Repalone. At least three other people were taken to hospitals with minor injuries.
Police said criminal charges were possible in the case, but Fleming said it would be difficult to identify individual shoppers. Authorities were reviewing surveillance video.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc., based in Bentonville, Ark., called the incident a "tragic situation" and said the employee came from a temporary agency and was doing maintenance work at the store.
"The safety and security of our customers and associates is our top priority," said Dan Fogleman, a company spokesman. "At this point, facts are still being assembled and we are working closely with the Nassau County Police as they investigate what occurred."
Shoppers around the country line up early outside stores on the day after Thanksgiving in the annual bargain-hunting ritual known as Black Friday. It got that name because it has historically been the day when stores broke into profitability for the full year.

I Love This Site
Not only does it have pretty girls, it also has pretty lingerie. So, with Christmas coming, here is a great way to look at lingerie without getting the evil eye from females in a store :)
When you are done ogling the models, buy some for your favorite female or maybe even yourself if you are so inclined.
