Rest and relaxation, which includes not standing in the cold all night outside of best buy.

I drove around last year early in the morning and saw lines wrapped around buildings. It would be a lot nicer if people would buy what they needed and not what they could sell for a profit on ebay.

Good grief!!! Mom asked if I would take her out on Black Friday. She said: "Let's go to Dunkin Donuts for coffee at 5 a.m. and then head over to Yonkers to Macy's."

It's just NYC. I'm sure there won't be anyone out at that time.

Irrelevant. Cross County is still going to be mobbed.

Your mother is either crazy, or she's nuts, since you'll probably run into a mob at DD's as well.

I WAS going to stand outside one of the big boxes and pick up a 46" LCD TV, but then I realized that all of the models going for $1300 bucks and all that 1) had crappy contrast ratios or 2) had banding problems or 3) had clouding issues...so I bit the bullet and bought a decent sammy 46 incher and therefore I will not need to stand outside in the cold, with the flu, on friday morning.

Even Kmart has a line around it last year.

Couldn't pay me to go out shopping on this day. The girlfriend got up at 3am to go shopping....I'll gladly pay 200% the full price to go during the quieter mid-week hours when it's not as crowded.

Wussy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was up at 2:30 a.m. and in the store shopping at 4 a.m., got finished with Christmas shopping (bought a few extra gifts with the good deals), and even made it to IHOP for breakfast at sunrise. Thank God for strong coffee!!!!!

This was my first black friday excursion. Mom had fun too!!!

Well Burke is right, it seems a minute amount of people are even paying attention to the economy... from today the Dollar falls again..

Countries around the world are beginning to move away from the Dollar ..

Oil transactions are moving to other currencies instead furthering its decline, and people still sit here having no clue why the gas prices are climbing along with everything else. People are losing their homes left and right defaulting on loans ..

They aren't my expectations, I think for future generations, nephews , nieces, friends children and even those I don't know, its not even about me its the world THEY will grow up in. It is the sad fact that most people don't care about the future just today and now which is downright selfish.

That is true. However... there are a great deal of us that do think beyond today and/or tomorrow to the future of our youth.

Not me of course.... but others.
