noblesmelissa 0 #4 November 22, 2005 Wal-Mart. I went there at 10 A.M. to buy a few groceries and ask when I should start standing in line and the manager said, "There are already people standing in line and they only have 26 premium systems." I went and got in line and was number 10.At midnight I walked out with it. Hope my kids (especially the 30 year old child that I married) appreciate it...

Slowfaller 0 #5 November 22, 2005 I went to Meijers tonight about ten to midnight just to see what the situation was like. I see people pouring out the exit doors so I ask if they're all sold out or what. Meijers had 7 systems to sell. --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

noblesmelissa 0 #8 November 22, 2005 So the line stretched from the layaway department all the way to the McDonalds that they have in the store. After hour 10 or so I was feeling a bit goofy so when all the Wal-Mart shoppers started stopping and asking us what we were waiting in line for I started telling people that the McRib is back for a limited time only... I thought it was funny; some people actually believed me... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveStMarys 0 #9 November 22, 2005 My son wanted one of those......but he is getting a helmet cam from Digital Blue and my younger son is getting a Quad (older son already has one), so the money isn't there, but I don't think they'll really care. LOL!!! I hear they're pretty neat though. Moms' rock!!!!!!!!! BobbiA miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkydiveStMarys 0 #11 November 22, 2005 Yeah but...its Christmas, right?! Once a year, good kids, etc....... My kids really don't get much in the way of gifts except, Christmas, their birthday, and maybe Easter (something small, less candy) so its all about them anyway during Christmas. You know?

noblesmelissa 0 #12 November 22, 2005 I agree... Also, my mom had 7 kids and was a single mom so we never had "jaw-dropping" Christmases. I know, I know, presents aren't the "true meaning of Christmas" but I love the way the kiddos come downstairs and their eyes light up when they see what Santa has brought... I love overdoing the holidays...
