Yikes! That's like 10 steps below a child molester! How will you ever show your face in public again? Do your wife and children know you're a liberal? Do you think she'll leave you if she finds out? You better think about your life and get it together buster! ;-) H-2

I don't enjoy the craziness. I did drag my husband out yesterday for an hour to a KMart store and a BigLots - looking for some outside Christmas decorations. We usually go on a Tuesday or Wednesday during the season to avoid the crowds. But I do alot of online shopping anymore as well. I don’t do the Black Friday sales. I don’t enjoy the craziness.
