Hi All; Yesterday I saw a flier at my neice's for Kohl's. There was a pair of sleep pants in there for $11.99. I decided to go there today as we got the day off. What a mistake. I was walking back tword the section where the sleep pants were and kept looking at the line for the register. There were about 300 people in that line. I found one pair of the sleep pants. They were marked $20 and I wasn't positive they were the one's on sale. No way was I about to stand in that line for two hours to buy a pair. I just left and went and got something to eat. Last night on Jay Leno he said that 65% of people in the country would do their shopping today and the other 45% are men.lol

Uh-oh, if I am in the other 45% and not a man, what does that make me? :) :) A fish, yes I know :fish: I refuse to go anywhere near a shopping center or mall on Black Friday. My friend and I went once when we were in high school just to see what the fuss was about and got up at 5am....I have never been since and I think that time we were home by 5:30am!!

SMART is what it makes you Staci. :-D Friday was my first time ever going. It was also my last. I did know that things would be crazy that day but I thought it would die down after a few hours. NOT Last year I told a girl to meet me at a resturant and I would buy her dinner. It took me about an hour to get there and she gave up an called. We had dinner another night. I assumed that night that everyone was going shopping after work. So by going yesterday at 11am I fugured it would have died down. Boy was I wrong. I heard on the news that some guy punched a woman in the back of the head at TRU just before they opened at midnight. He didn't get in, and the police were called.
