Some insight into the Black Friday crowd

posted by Susan Johnson | 10:59am Monday December 15, 2008

Here’s an excellent article on what it was like to be in the crowd the day the Wal-Mart employee was trampled to death. It reinforces my decision never to go to a Black Friday sale to save a few bucks on a blender.
BTW, I was able to buy one of the Wal-Mart Black Friday sale items on Monday. I was at Wal-Mart to buy sunglasses and while I was there I figured I’d check out how much the Garmin nüvi 200 was now that the sale was over (I was thinking of getting my husband one for Christmas). I noticed they had a big stack of them unmarked so I asked the sales clerk how much they were and he talk me they were $99, the Black Friday price. Evidently they didn’t sell them all and I didn’t have to wait in line in the cold at 3:00 a.m. to get a good price :-)

One Final Word
My dear friend Michele slipped into eternity on Wednesday, February 1.   She was a remarkable woman who left a legacy of faith, determination, and love. For three years she courageously battled the ovarian cancer that eventually robbed her of her life.  A few days before she died, one of her docto

The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated
My husband told me that there are rumors that I've died. I'm happy to report that I'm still very much alive. My cancer has gone to stage four but we are controlling it with chemo, the cancer numbers are currently in the normal range. I've stopped blogging to concentrate on my daughters and writing a

An update and a prayer request
Several people have asked about Michele's condition, and have promised to pray for her. On her behalf, I thank you for that. I spoke with her a little while ago, and she asked that I come here and tell you what's going on, and to ask you to pray for her. She isn't able to post here herself right

Rest in peace, Internet Monk.

The peace that passes all understanding, pt. 1
I'm coming out of my normal hiding place to make a few comments. The internet is a strange place. It is often a wonderful place, a helpful place, a unifying place. But it is also alienating, cold, and is the perfect medium in which to depersonalize others. Through it, I have seen people reach out

You could go out and show them how to behave.
(I had to stop reading that article … it was too terrible).
The only thing I seem to use my GPS for is finding doctors’ offices! The birthday party locations are almost never on even the latest maps (bloody, new home construction).

If I went to a store on Black Friday, it would only be to see the lines for myself. And if I went in and saw something that I wanted, I’d make a note of it and come back after BF.
Behaviour like that makes me wonder just how far we’ve come as a species. Sometimes I wish I’d been born a cat (or other animal) instead of a human.
