Cool thing you did for your friend. I'm sure she appreciated your act of kindness even more than she did the mixer.
I stay away from Black Friday sales. The last time I went several years ago, there were people literally fighting over laptops and TVs in WalMart. It's just not worth it to me. I did have a friend who arrived at WalMart at 3:30 am for their 5:00 opening. He got the TV he wanted. Said some folks had camped out all night.

Dan... What an incredible gesture to your Friend.... and in the Spirit of the Holidays!

I hope every single person that reads this thread finds it in their heart to do something similar during the Christmas Season.

Cheers to you my Friend.........

Been arguing with her a lil, she keeps sayin she'll have to think about it n that she wasn't sure if she could accept that much. So I told her I did it for her mom, she already took it, and if I didn't accept repayment then she didn't really have a choice.
Then she goes on to say crap like "I don't deserve someone like you in my life" I hate it when gals start doing that.

Tell her shed DOES deserve someone that cares in her life. That she's a great person that deserves good things to happen for them.

After working as a truck stop supervisor for a couple years you'd be surprised what stuff you can find in one and how many people do thier last minute shopping there....I know she's a keeper, she's the first gal to ever make me really try and take things slow n do things the right way. Every other woman has either shot me down right away or totally threw themselves at me. I still don't know which way things are gonna go, but I know I'll have a close friend in her either way. I'll have my hands full trying to convince her that she does deserve better than what she had before. My kids totally falling for her too, I've got alot of female friends, but he latched on to her from day one.

Cool story. Mine also involves Walmart. I live maybe 5 blocks from Walmart and saw the ad for the cameras they would have, I needed a new one since the last one got swallowed by my duck pool. It was the 12 megapixel kodak for $69 so I had to get it. I planned out my whole couple days around it. Thanksgiving night I went to bed at 7 to get up in time, I decided to snooze til 4:30 since it takes like 10 minutes to walk there.  As I got closer I passed the school and library which had packed parking lots then passed the safeway which also had a full lot, all of the cars of course going to Walmart.
 
 I got there before 5 to a store filled with people! It turned out they had been open for way longer because they didnt want the crazy rush, people just couldnt check out until 5. So I started my search for the camera. I finally found where it was supposed to be and saw what looked like an empty case but there was 1 left. I went t grab it when a soccer mom was reaching for it. I looked at her cart and she had 4 other cameras of the same kind in the cart already and was being greedy and going for a 5th. I had it in my hands! She glared at me and for a sec I thought she might tackle me for it but I glared right back and smirked and quickly walked off. I then grabbed some socks and went to check out but couldnt, all the lines had an easy 100 people each. I waited in line for about 20 minutes before I checked out. I was safe and out the door. Then I got the camera home only to remember that I didnt have a spare memory card so I had to go back and got one. That is my story

yeah the police were called out to the local Wally World because 2 women were physically fighting over a TV. what morons....
