Black Friday Shopping!

I know that some of you out there are terribly against this time of year.  The idea of consumers crushing each other to save a mere $50.00, but please remember that not all of us are like that. In fact, I am not like that at all.  I plan in advance people - I look for deals weeks in advance!  Then after I find the deals I look for other places with the same deal, so I know where to go and what time I should be there.  Strategy people!  Do I panic or fight or pull a gun if, after all this amazing planning, I should happen to not get my item?  No.  Do I  pull hair, knock kids over, or run anyone down?  No.  Nothing is that important.  But, I do think that with careful planning and scouting that a person can have a great Black Friday experience, get some good deals, save a little bit of money in the process, and not kill anyone.  I KNOW ! I KNOW!  It's hard to subscribe to the idea of civility in these situations, but I promise, it can be done.  

So, This Thanksgiving weekend, just remember that not all of us are out there to kill.  In fact, I can get in and out of Walmart in a record time (15 minutes) because I plan.  Rarely do I get stuck in long lines and fights - rarely.  The point of this particular Blob is merely to point out that not all of us Black Friday Shoppers are like the picture above... not all of us are raving lunatics out for blood.

Post Title?

I find Blobbing to be so dang time consuming recently!  Seriously!  Who has time for blobbing anyway?  With Bloggers new features and layout, well, I figured that I would see if it would help speed things up... but it hasn't so far.  Mostly because, apparently, I still have to type.  Why can't blogger just pull the information out of my head and put it on the screen, complete with pictures and words and emphasis?

Anyway, nothing going on right now - my adorable sister had a very cute baby, about 5 weeks too early.  My good Friend found out that she is having a girl, another friend just found out that she is expecting, the woman on the soccer team informed me that her sour looks were because she is 10 weeks along, and I have 2 others that are due in the next 3 months.  There are babies EVERYWHERE.  

I was at a U2 Concert a few months ago, watching their little ticker of number of deaths, number of births, number of accidents, you know - and I could not believe how fast the numbers were turning.  However, after looking around and finding out how many of my friends are preggers, well, I guess I could believe it?  A little?

Anyway, Leo Gentry is way cute - I don't have a lot of time - but when has that ever been anything strange? Nothing really changes, right?  

Jeremy?

I know that every now and then we come across a "Look - A - Like" - and this was sent to me a while ago.  BUT, I ran across it again today and thought... "Jeremy?" - it's not him... but it sure does look like him.  The face, nose, hair, glasses, even the SMUG look on his face... So - I figured I would share it here.. .BWAHAHAHAA.

Made In China

This is going to be my small Rant of the day - Do you all realize that I should totally be kicked out of this country?  I mean, really - where is my Patriotism?  Where has it gone?  Today I went shopping with my sweetheart to pick up a few things that we needed, and a few that I wanted.  I was looking at the things that I "Wanted" and noticed that I am not helping the American economy out, AT ALL!  Everything that I had decided on was - you guessed it - MADE in CHINA.

See, here is the evidence -

 I really feel that one of the reasons our country suffers is because more of the work that should be in the states is being outsourced to cheaper labor outside of the country.  It's nice that we have been helping them, I did a fair job of it today) but I really think that it's time that they start bringing the jobs home.  If the jobs and factories were brought back to the states then the country would be able to have a low to non existent unemployment rate.  Ooooh, but no.  Our bleeding hearts are so gullible that we are willing to help out everyone but ourselves.

So, lets start putting high tariffs on US companies that go outside the country to develop goods and services and food for the states.  MAKE them bring the jobs home - Then we can start improving the serious situation that we as a country have found ourselves in, right? 

PS: Sylvania light bulbs are still made in the states - and I buy those... so, there is at least a SMALL Contribution on my part whenever I need lightbulbs -

PPS: Again, if you can't see the pictures, go directly to my blob - I often wonder why facebook posts some but not others - so if you want to see them, you know where to go now.

HAHAHAAA - It's finally here!!

I know that it's dark - and I took this picture at 10:00 tonight - But, .do you see what I see?  that's right - it's snowing.  TAKE THAT SILLY GROUNDHOG - predict an early spring, it gets warm, and what happens?  That's right - Global Warming is proven wrong once again!  It's nice and cold - It was getting a little toasty here, but finally - the snow is back.

Don't get me wrong - i really dislike the snow - BUT, It's Wintertime - it's SUPPOSED to snow.  I don't happen to like spiders either, but when I find them OUTSIDE (in their OWN space instead of mine) I typically will leave them alone.  In my house they are good as dead though.

Anyway, Just wanted to show you the pretty snow.  It's still coming down so who KNOWS what it will look like in the morning - but that's just fine by me. :)

The Future as we Know it...

I (for one) am no (Shhhhhh) Conspiracy Theorist

It's just not what I do.

But beyond that, how can you say that a person IS in fact a (Shhhhh) Conspiracy Theorist, if they have evidence that shows that whatever it is they are yammering on about really did happen?

In the most recent months I have been looking more and more at a few things around me - paying more attention to things that are slipping through at the Federal level, that people just are not paying attention to because it didn't hit up the 5:00 or 10:00 news.

Are we REALLY so naive that so many of our rights are truly being snuffed out, and we just think that because we are "American" that we are protected? Or that just because it didn't show up on the News that it didn't happen? 

Anyway, this is just my small rant - the future as we know it is always changing (Well, obviously). It's not going to stay the same just because we live in the United States - I know that most of you who read this are adults, and you know this already - but don't be surprised if you see articles that get posted on my Facebook page or even here that you didn't see on the 5:00 news - Because there are things that are happening that should be known!  

Though, I promise that I will at least research what I post (To the best of my abilities) - I encourage any discussions on the material, heck - I don't care if you all have a war over the stuff that's posted, but please be thoughtful and don't start attacking "Republican" or "Democratic" - because, it's not about that - they are all in the same boat - they are just wearing different colored t-shirts to confuse everyone else.

Anyway, this is your "notification" - I didn't want anyone just Freaking out if I put something up that was more "extreme" than the typical happy stuff that I post.

LOVES YA!
