Welcome to Black Friday. Today, long lines appeared in front of the local J.C. Penny, which is the first time “long lines” and “J.C. Penny” have been forced together since the last Black Friday.
People lined up, of course, for the $500 gift certificate lottery, which is the equivalent of a sign that says “free beer”. I hope the customers also bought things.
But let’s have a moment of silence for the surviving turkeys.
And Berle’s stomach.
Actually, it’s a really good time of year to learn how to eat well. Forget New Year’s resolutions. Everyone knows they’re simply a December regret list. Start now.
Did you brave the shopping crowds today? I did. I had to. In fact, I’m going BACK in just a few minutes, albeit on the other side of the counter. Maybe I’ll see you. Maybe I’ll get your cold. Hey, maybe I already have it!
If you live in a warm area of the world, be thankful. I always think that I hate the hot weather. I steadily think it all summer, into the fall, and right up to days like today, when it’s cold enough to freeze Han Solo in an unsafe manner.
As you shop today, remember that it’s not the amount spent, but the thought that goes into it. Some thoughts are more valuable than others.
It’s also the time of year to donate to charity! Pick your charities wisely. Some of them may be scams. Recognizing the scams can be tricky. Other times it’s quite easy.
🤣🤣 oh man, that was so much fun. i hope you have some fun today, despite the whole black fridayness of it. good luck out there!
