She made/created/restyled most of them and so they're like BM>her babies. Also the "but I'll wear it some time in the future" excuse. DS> Same for my Mom...although she admitted she wished she hadn't DS> bought all that stuff. But, all of us are impulsive buyers at one DS> time or another. The occasional impulse isn't a bad thing! Well, assume tempered: buying a boat would not be a good impulse purchase! BM>We still shudder at Christmas! Too many years in retail with long hours, BM>early hours, late hours... OTOH wasn't all bad. There were some once- BM>a-year shoppers who were fun to see/briefly visit with. DS> On "Black Friday" this year, the day after Thanksgiving, the DS> Arkansas Razorbacks play their one Little Rock game at War DS> Memorial Stadium, in Little Rock Midtown. Combine the traffic DS> with that, and the holiday shoppers, I'm staying home that day. Probably a wise move! ...Either way sounds like a lack of movement. As for Black Friday, my last year working going in to the store was a little strange. Forgot the hour but early. Driving in noted not too much traffic -- more than usual but not the clogged streets like several years before. A lot of people waiting when I got there (store and mal wasn't open yet), plus my store (chain) as well as others had done the pre-Black Friday sale events which made the Black Friday Sale less of an attraction. And no stadium games going on locally -- closest might be Iowa City. BM> Yes, I've heard and made a few of those comments!
