Sorry to hear that you think it's crappy. We don't get enough of those days here in So. Cal., so most of us enfoy the change of pace. Although this year will be tough due to all of the fires we had as the rains will cause a lot of mud slides. I hope that your days get better. Until then, put a log on the fire and cozy up with a book.

It's finally getting on the cool/cold side of the weather out here in So. Cal. A smattering of lite rain in the flats with a dusting of the white stuff in the mountains followed by a blustery day says that winter has arrived. Or would that be flood season?

The Prime Minister of India is a vegetarian, so "most" of the state dinner was vegetarian !! I wonder if that was a first.

Have the Koos been enjoying Rodriguez's fall from the balcony, into the mud of the thouroughfare? (I've started season 2 again).
We put a major hurt on them this year. RR was berating his young QB to the point near tears. What a horsesass.

I do most Christmas shopping on line - I hate the crowds. I would rather let someone pull my toenails out with pliers than go shopping on black Friday! The mall won't have one parking space left and the shopping center 5 miles from my house will take at least an hour to get to due to the hideous traffic.

I haven't been shopping on the day after Turkey Day in years. I hate crowds & the fucking traffic. For several years I've met a friend at a big craft show 2 counties away. No mall crowds, tho a lot of ladies show up for this. It's at a county fairground building so lots of free parking. We usually drop one vehicle there, then also go bumming around to the exclusive shops in town. And also hit the coffee/tea place. Much more fun than the mall crap. And the town is very pretty any time of the year & more so at Xmas.

PS, I love Kohl's also. I do most of my shoping for clothes there. I like the Vera Wang line a lot.

Re: Pre-Black Fridays Sales


Gotta love Kohl's. I placed an order this morning on Kohls.com, not realizing they were having a huge Pre-Black Friday Sale. Cool...I'll take savings where I can find them.

Went to my mailbox this afternoon, and found a Kohl's promotion for 15% off everything, so, I thought, what the heck, I'll give it a shot. I called customer service and they are going to take 15% off my already discounted and finalized web order! WOOT!! Bonus!

So, anybody out there gonna brave the 5AM crazies for doorbuster specials on Friday? I'm not sure a $3.00 sandwich maker is worth it. I do love shopping online, though.

Yes, I don't know why they paired the photo with the story, just for sensationalism, I guess. She looks a lot healthier than he, not skeletor at all. I wonder how photo shopped it is.
