No welfare/tax money in those big-screen, flat-screen, LCD TV’s, is there?
I think I might have found the pass-rusher my beloved NY Giants need.
A girl suffered from nymphoania
Got wed and it became oniomania
Her hubby, decrying
Made her stop all the buying
Which brought on severe kleptomania
Wow. What a tale those jeans tell.
Take some turkey leftovers and you are all set. A++++
LOL A++++
There’s potential.
What do these people do when the ones they love see them in the photo? “ Honey I acted like total, savage trash for YOU, to buy you this teevee. I even crushed a woman’s foot because I love you.”
That is a truly amazing story! Just curious, were you surprised that she had ( or did it herself) her name stitched inside the pocket? Was that something she routinely did? Amazing sleuthing on the young lady’s part.
Ditto, the hundred & I will roll into town for a little shopping at the local stores, hot chocolate & the lighting of the big Christmas tree & Christmas carols........maybe some bourbon ;).
Hubby, not 100....
Sounds good To Me!
Yes, the insanity is at night now that they started opening the stores at 6pm on Tgiving. xsbaby and i went to the outlets in leesburg and were there by 6:15 am or so. The discount dropped from 50% off to 40% off after 6 am, but the crowds dropped from INSANE to negligible at 6 am, so i was fine with getting only 40% off to avoid that mess. Got a few gifts out of the way, so it was a successful mission. prob do a lot more online. I knew the terrorists were not going to go all the way out to Leesburg so we would be safe.
that is an amazing story!
I went downtown Owego. Stopped at the Laughing Place and found some unusual toys for my three munchkins. Then I got myself some replacement earrings and a new snowman picture to add to my collection.
They probably share it on their FB page and gloat. LOL
While I was downtown shopping and strolling along......this couple passes me hand in hand.......then I realize it’s the guy from FB that friended me...with his longer hairstyle with a young woman in tow. He glanced back at me then passed brusquely along leaving me a bit stunned. Looks like a guy with long hair, walks like a guy, is holding the hand of a female....TMI, TMI for my limited brain power. I just acted like I never recognized him and ignored the whole drama.
Even if it was not raining now
There’s no way you’d find me
At any store or at any mall-
Home I am, and home I will be
Under the spell of oniomania
The shoppers have all run mad
Behaving badly and forgetting
Any manners they may have had...
Grabbing stuff away from others
Shoving and yelling “it’s mine”
Punching those who might object-
I’ll just do my shopping online...
Every time I hear about a weird FB related experience someone had, I’m glad I don’t go there-one of my neighbors saw something private on FB she’d mentioned in a conversation she had with a close friend, cara a cara-she was totally appalled, and severed her acquaintance with that person-rightly so, I think...
