Default The stock market today

got its prostrate massaged slightly with a 225+ point loss . Traders seemed to retreat at the end due to the week-end coming up and the outlook of a bleak christmas sales season is fast approaching . The retailers are expected to do 6% more then last year which was a disaster to say the least . Gift cards are a big worry as well - as people will be shopping with them after christmas when all retailers mark products down . I love getting and giving gift cards as I love to shop after christmas when stuff is literally being given away . For the smart shopper go and argue with the store manager on pricing too . Last year I went in a week after christmas and wanted a stainless steel Kitchen Aid mixer . Of course they were out - gee tell me something I did not know . They had yellow and red left . I went got the manager and said I would like to order a SS mixer cause I was not nuts on the selection . Before thanksgiving they were $299.00- after thanksgiving they were$249.00- and after Christmas they were $219.99. The manager said it will cost you more if i order it . I said good make me a deal of the century on one you have left . I got it for $179.99 and then I told the manager I will be right back - went next door to the supermarket and bought $200.00 worth of gift cards to Bed Bath and Beyond . For every $50.00 you spend you get $.20 a gallon off at the supermarkets gas station . Since my vehicles all hold 30 gallons or more that was $24.00 I made there . $0.80 a gallon times 30 that is . Went back to bed bath and beyond and got the manager and showed him mym my out of state license and filled in a tax form saying I was fom out of state and saved 8.5% on sales tax. Took it home and left it in the box and exchanged it in Feb for a stainless steel mixer even . Strong move on my part . Saved the best for last - Kitchen aid then sent me a $25.00 rebate card on any future kitchen aid appliance . Went back to the store and told them I forgot to give them this when I bought it and they promptly gave me $25.00 !!! I can hardly wait for this christmas and all of those nice lovely scrumptious gift cards and stuff . needless tosay I will be out there helping retailers use some KY Jelly on their butts !!!!! Talk about doing the AP in the retail world - lmao

You shop like my wife. Can't even take her out to dinner, unless we have a coupon. Once bought a new Avalon and she pops up with a $1,000-off coupon. Where the hell did she get that? Bought a halogen stove for less than cost. Must have mismarked it and the retail salesman called us and asked us to bring it back. She called corporate hqtrs and he was lucky to keep his job. You two must be related. lmao

Default aslan as always

you come up with good ones buddy . Could be my sister you married . Can't be my ex wife cause I sent her to the airport and she saw this big green sign that read " AIRPORT LEFT " so she came back home - wtf !!!!! Your wife is a hell of alot smarter then that . I knew you would respond to my posts cause you live to read them - only good stuff on the net . Ohio State got their dick handed to them nicely today - my buddy the college whiz said it was pick of the season so we all bet it . He is 2 for 2 this year as we won earlier in the season on a huge bet on LSU . I do not post the college bets cause sometimes we do not even bet them - but this guy is a phenom . Ohio state was giving illinios 16 at kick off . They were never in the game . Inside info for those of you looking at the Pitts-Cleve game tomorrow - injuries are gonna force the browns offensive line and defensive line to be shuffled . We have no opinion on the game

Everyone is just selling because they're scared. After a few days Tech will recover.
