Open Question: What is Black Friday Really Like????

Fri, 16 Nov 2007 21:34:54 GMT
This will be my first year shopping on black friday. What should I know about it?

Do people really go crazy and break down doors? Do they literally push people out of the way to get stuff? Or is all of this just myth and hype?

Any tips for my first black fridays?

If a store opens at 5am, what time should I arrive outside?

Open Question: Wives only..how would you handle? Can I have advice from fellow wives?

Husband has an acquaintence "J" he sees few times a year. Old friend; not good one. J is wild, drinking, drugs, womanizing etc. I can't stand him. When he visits he and my husband are out for a good portion of the evening and/or I go as designated driver; when his new wife not there he flirts etc. I don't tell. The last time J came (Jun) he said he was going to stay a week to help with our business; my husband asked me and I reluctantly said ok. J partied 4, layed around my house for 2 & flew home leaving his car - found out to hide from bank. I was NOT happy; in Oct he finally got the car my husband told him I was pissed & going to report it stolen; to get back at me he tells my husband that 4 yrs ago at my b-day party his wife (ex) saw me make out with a guy a LIE & before I asked J for his ex email to say hi and he said she doesn't talk to old friends; BS he doesn't want his lieing to be found out; I want to confront J; tell him he's never welcome in my home again!
We had a therapy session and the therapist said my husband has an obligation to protect my emotions; my husband said this guy won't affect our family anymore and knows he's not welcome but took a call from him last night while he and I were talking and it sent me to the moon; I tried to get the phone to tell him off and my husband hung up on him said talk to you later. I told my husband he better handle this business now..we go to more therapy next week. Thanks for encouragement; I think I've been rather nice about it!
I am sending J this email since I don't have the number to call. I showed it to my husband first
J-
Now I know why you didn't want to give me ______ email to say hi. You said she wasn't interested in speaking with people from your time together. You don't want to expose your LIE you told to _____ that I had my tongue stuck down someones throat at my 33rd B-day party. I tried to accept you and have a good attitude even though I think it disgusting that you cheated on your wife and left your family and continue to womanize when you visit here behind _________'s back. I really like _______ therefore I wouldn't want to stir up problems by telling her when we went bar hopping before your cruise you brought the girls two by two to our VIP table and said it was because your cousin was single and you were wanting to recruit "hot chicks" in the limo. Your a pig. I not only hate that ____ goes out with you to get drunk but because I know your a womanizer, substance abuser and liar.
Oh I ended the email with "Now I'll tell you directly...YOU ARE NOT WELCOME IN MY HOME EVER."

Open Question: how different is an actual fight to sparring?

i mean, i think they should not have boxing gloves any more as it doesnt realy simulate an acual fight, a fight is explosive, there is grabbing biting ect
and as martial artisits u have to react quick

im not dissing mma but i dont think it would do well in a real life situation, a guy with a knife against mma, i know who i would pick, because mma practices muay thai and bjj but only the sport side of it, its like saying sport tkd is effective on the street
