'Selfless'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I worked retail for several years, Black Friday and the day after Christmas are just nuts. Black Friday you have cranky parents, dragging their cranky spouses and kids around trying to buy crap. Or I'd end up with people trying to stealthy buy something for the person they are shopping with.
Then the day after Christmas you have people with opened merchandise and no receipt wanting a refund.
All hail online shopping.
And supporting your local, independent retailers!
Most years I do almost 100% of my xmas shopping at the stores in my 'hood.
Like back in the cavemen days, a cavewoman might be surrounded by four cougars.
Statistically, she'd be most likely to survive if she picked the first cougar she thought of, and didn't waffle around thinking it might be cougar #3.
If skill at multiple choice tests had any relationship to life, I'd be living in a mansion with cabana boys.

I think this has been shown to not be true. (The thing about always going with your first answer.)
I had a psychology professor who designed his tests to teach people to pick their first answer. The tests had something like 300 questions, and the more you answered, the less each wrong answer counted off.
Aimee, is that deal at kmart on Friday? or Thursday?
Cashmere, on Thursday.
I'm going to die of boredom before I have a chance to leave early for the train station.
I love online shopping - if it exists, it's likely to turn up on the internet. (A friend of mine has been looking for some movies on DVD; her husband insists that they not use their credit cards for online shopping (yes, crazy), so I tracked down #1 on her list and purchased it in about 15 minutes.)
My coworker gave me french fries.
And we also almost accidentally left a ten-minute message on someone's voicemail about gravy.
Dana, if someone left me a voicemail about gravy ... it'd be an improvement over most of the ones I get.
