I saw on the news yesterday that 1,000 people had lined up in front of a local Walmart to be the first to get at sales. It was 6:00 in the morning!!

Did anyone else get up that early to go shopping? I think it's crazy!

I cannot imagine waiting to go into a Wallmart. That is just sick.

I'm going to try to do most of mine online. I don't think I have the intestinal fortitude this season to fight the shopping mania.

No way you would have found me out there on Black Friday. I'd end up being the lead story on the evening news.

I do what I can to avoid the shopping insanity in general. Kids will get some stuff; most adult relatives will be getting charitable donations made in their names.

Howdy All,
No way you find me sitting outside a store waiting for it to open. My shopping is fairly low keyed. I just have to get one or two things for my mother. I don't even get involved with gift exchange at work.

I don't have a link to it, but I remeber a study shwong men's heart rates inrceasing, stress hormones rising and all the symptoms of physiological discomfort rocketing when men are dragged along by their better halves to shop. I know I experience that. It's the seemingly directionless way women shop - either it's very inefficient or it's very clever and I haven't figured out the algorthim. When I go shopping, I'm in, I'm out like a rat up a drainpipe.
