Very Successful Black Friday
update 6/2/2024 sadly photo got lost but I loved that damn kitchen cart*
[My Most Prized Black Friday Treat, Kitchen Cart and Step Stool from Ikea. :) ]
I have to say this has to be the smoothest Black Friday weekend that I have ever experienced. Not only did I get everything on my list that I wanted, I got tons of AMAZING deals, I was in and out of stores in minutes, and I did not break any arms or legs!
Last time I went out on black Friday It was a mad house. Lines were out the door, and it was a very frustrating experience. This year I had a plan and stuck to it. I knew exactly where everything was and I did not deviate from the list.
I think that is the key. Do not go out on black Friday to browse and stumble upon deals. Read the ads, do your homework, make a plan, make a list, stick to it! And then everything will go by very smoothly.

Mailbag: October 2026
First of all, I wanted to send a thank you to everyone who ever sent me an email or a message. I read all of them, but can’t always respond timely – and sometimes at all – but I enjoy receiving those, and learn a lot from them. I wanted to excerpt a few th...

Lots of people who are against the use of AI for all its ethical and inherent issues tell me this. Just ignore it. Don’t let big AI control us. The “slop” they refer to is anything created that involved an AI, and in our case (the curl project) it is in pa...
