The retail universe just imploded. Not to mention Sales Lady’s commission. Poof. Up in a cloud of insanity.
Morning Susan when you arrive. Morning lightenup after church. We won’t see Mom! until tomorrow.
Hi fellow Cathyites. Uh, will someone help me unroll my eyes? They’re stuck again. Really gotta stop rolling my eyes at Cathy, but I was double-teamed this time.

I agree with Cathy’s mom to a point. I think it’s important to buy quality merchandise at a good price. So maybe it is too expensive and maybe it is shoddy workmanship. That is one thing I am thankful that my mother taught me. But I also learned an insecurity about buying presents for others because she never seemed to like what we gave her. On a practical side, that means that I make a serious effort to buy gifts that the recipient would hopefully like. It also means that I try to show my appreciation for the gifts that I receive. Except for that one year that my husband bought a vacuum cleaner and I made sure that he knew that was only a gift if he used it. LOLWelcome back, Aaron and Billy! Glad you made it back safely. Good morning, Susan! I’m sorry to hear that you still have bad feelings from your mother. Sometimes it’s hard to work through those. Hello to KFG and all the other Cathy nuts that roll around here today!p.s. I am running late, but have a response to yesterday’s conversation about Facebook and Black Friday if interested.

It doesn’t matter how much % off it is if it still costs too much :)
