Why on earth would anybody voluntarily get up this early ? Only reason I'm
up is because the g'kids need a watcher while my wife and DIL go out and and
try to snatch a few deals . And the son (works Sears service center) has to
be at work by 4 ...
Black Friday indeed , they call it that because that's the mood
everybody's in by the end of the buying frenzy .

That sounds about right. My wife watches QVC all day long. She just
bought a couple of "Tur-duc-hens" for Christmas for when all three of
her daughters are over. Except, they're all vegetarians.
I just smile and pet the dog. Shortly I'll go fill the spare car up
with gas so it'll be ready for 'em.

Andy, we think alike. I can't imagine being burdened with the
shopping gene. The endless wandering through isles of crap ya don't
need. My current lady can't understand why, after I find the product
I came to get I head straight for the checkout counter. "Don't you
want to look around?", is her favorite refrain. No thanks!! sometimes
she even listens whan I say drive your own car and meet me there.

The true beauty of a "Special wife", is that they know how to shop, and
get things while "on sale."
Doesn't matter if the items are needed or wanted.
Me: "Oh Honey? Why did you buy a resturant grade 10 quart rice steamer
when we are the only ones here that eat it?"
Special wife: "It was SO on sale, you 笨驢！"
Me: "Baby? Yer the best!"

I tell Annie that women go shopping, and men go buying.
I have seen Annie spend the whole day at the Mall of America, and come home
empty handed, so why even go? I am with you Andy, I go to a store, grab some
crap and get the hell out, no need to look around, after all I can "shop" on
the internet, then go to the store and "buy".
A while back we were heading out to a wedding only I did not have a shirt
that was worthy. (One of those high falutin' weddings where a HD t-shirt
would be outa place!) Ran into JC Pennys, grabbed a shirt off the rack,
tried it on, it fit, rip off the tags, and tuck it in. Told Annie to grab
another for a spare, toss the extra shirt and tags on the counter at the
register, toss them the charge card and out the door, maybe 15 minutes,
tops! Hell, it takes a woman all day to get the same end result!

You probably won't be completely shocked to hear that I have a theory
about that behavior. (Spunky with a theory about something???? Aw,
cmon!!!!)
Goes back to the hunter/gatherer thing. Hunting and gathering are two
completely different processes. Hunting is a selective and narrow
process. You don't go after a herd of narwhals, you go after A narwhal.
Or a snipe, or what fucking ever. It's specific. You know when you
go what it is you're after. You don't take fishing tackle if you're
hunting mastodons.
Gathering is a much wider focussed and inclusive process. You go out
looking for a category- Food. To do that successfully, you have to look
at everything in the field and then figure out if it's food or not,
plant by plant, tree by tree, and such. When you go gathering you bring
a basket. Whatever is food goes in the basket.
Men hunted, women gathered. Hunting required very specific
communications - it's behind the tree, dipshit! for example. Any more
noise than necessary risked the hunt.
Women gathered. Gathering is a community process and requires more
general communication - Anybody ever eaten any of these green stripedy
things? for example, and more noise isn't an issue.
Men still hunt, even when we're shopping. Women still gather,
especially when they're shopping.
Or maybe it's the tequila talking.
HAROM!

I haven't used a kleenex in years, except to clean my glasses.

Have you not heard of the toilet paper analysis machine. You insert a wad of
toilet paper and it tells you if there is any feces imbedded in the paper.
The only problem is you will get a positive reading if you accidentally
insert any of the MoCo literature.

Thanks for that.
We didn't have a real bad recession in this part of Canada until the US
government introduced country of origin legislation and started cutting out
their NAFTA partners putting a great many Canadian companies who supply
products to the US at risk.
Several companies that were about to expand instead closed up and moved to
the US putting Canadians out of work.
Has this helped?
Not really since jobs, homes and livelyhoods are still being lost in the
US. It just dragged us further down as well. The parts that have been hurt
the worst are those where it was already dodgy.
Locally, we have sen a downturn in our business because a lot of our
customers have less money. Especially those driving trucks into the US.
Country of origin has made a tenuous situation much worse. Many are losing
their trucks so bikes are the furthest things from their minds.

I understand that but we buy a shit load of US goods too.
We also have a mutual trade agreement requiring us to buy each others
goods.
It does neither of us any good to shut the other out.
What it has done is move some of us to find other trading partners.
Of course, I knew that eventually you (the US) wuld drag us into the shit
too.

We had been doing alright. Much of the country had weathered the storm

When I said we would be dragged into the shit, it was just that usually,
because our economies are so closely entwined, when you sneeze, we get a
cold. In this case, for a change, you got the flu and we got a sniffle
until the legislation got passed that ensures we will get sick too.

Cheap? It'd probably make the hair stand on your...... head..... if we knew

They get a sunset.

Rises about 10:30 the next morning too.
