Did you do anything today and it "Black Friday"?

hello cornchips50,
Yeah,Black Friday is celebrated here.It is the day after Thanksgiving,which Thanksgiving falls on The second Thursday of the month.And thanksgiving is about feeding and gorging yourself on this holdiay,until you are full of eating.it has been a holiday tradition for over years about the Dying God in the Universe.

You said thanksgiving is celebrated every 2nd thursday of the month right? So, this is monthly celebration?

i don't think it's black friday in holy week. it is called black saturday i think. i really don't know why they have thanksgiving in american. what are they really thankful. it's really confusing too that sometimes they call it black saturday. call you tell me once and for all what this is. what is the origin of this tradition. i believe there is thanksgiving too in canada. but i have asked my parents working on canada but she does not really know about this. she is ignorant about this too.
can you explain this to me.

cornchips50,
no,thanksgiving doesn't come on every month of the year.it is only on November .on the second week of november.

Me neither.....LOL IT is crazy when it comes that day!i watched the NBC nightly news and they showed a preview of what "Black Friday"is like.
It was somewhere in NYC,and there was like millions of people standing there at the front of this gr8 big mall that is very popular in NYC.and when the doors opened at the said time,everybody rushed in the store running frantically like the world was ending to rush to get their gifts.It's really crazy,stupid also.lol them going crazy like that.lol I think that its nuts anyway to buy bunch of gifts like that,lol.

lol......it's crazy though,it'nt it?
take care Silvana

..lol...Yes it is!!..lol...

wow.....i know exactly where Briley Parkway is in Nashville Rhonda.I've been there b4 a few times.But the mall doesn't ring the bell.Although Rivergate Mall does,and Hickory Hollow Mall.I think Hickory Hollow is near Hermitage?I think?That's where we use to live.Like in White Oaks Apartments where the MegaMart use to be.Now it's something else i think my paw told me....lol Thanks for sharing your adventures on Christmas shopping,LOL.I don't try to fool with it as much as i can.hehe i shop for my christmas gifts the day b4 christmas,lol.and i've done that for years....lol'
take care Rhonda and i'll see ya on here tommorrow!

hi, Opry Mills Mall, is where Opryland Amusement Park used to be on Briley Parkway, they closed Opryland down and built a mall. you come to the Wave Pool there upon the hill of Briley Parkway first, then on down the hill there on the left is Opry Mills now. i have provided a link for ya to click on it to see where it is.

Opry Mills Shopping Mall

btw, my hubby goes out on Christmas Eve every year to do his Christmas shopping, and he gets up early that morning, takes off, and he stays gone all day long shopping. he will hit the malls first, then he goes to Wal-Mart and places like that. i cannot wait until the last minute to do my shopping. take care.

yes,i remember where Opryland use to be at b4 they took it down.That's been,God,i'd say over 10 years at the most.I remember that i went there one time with my dad,his g/f now his wife,and my brother,and my step-brother.We all went there for the day and i liked it.I always wondered why they took it down though?It seemed to be like a little bit like Dolllywood.I'll check that link out Rhonda.Thanks for that.

i was reading where it said something about McGavovick Pike,isn't McGavick High on that road?God,i cannot remember that well in Nashville.
It's been so many years since i've been up there.LOL

yes, McGavock High School is on McGavock Pike, and if you follow McGavock Pike all the way to the end of it, you'll turn left into Opry Mills and can get to the mall like that also, as well as Briley Parkway. well, you can imagine how big that Opry Mills Mall is, because you had remembered Opryland being there once upon a time. in Pro Bass or Bass Pro shop, lol, it is awesome in that store, they have a giantatic fish aquarium, i am not talking about small fish, like goldfish or tropical fish, but fish like bass and bigger fish.:0
and in the Aquarium Restuarant at the mall, that is awesome in there also. the whole time that you are sitting there eating, you are looking at a big aquarium that covers the entire restaurant. my hubby took me there to eat dinner on Valentine's Day night this past year.
take care.

the aqarium kinda reminds me of Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg.
I went there one time and it was amazing.But i know that this is in a restaurant though.That's pretty neat sitting there in the restaurant and you can look at the big fish swim by you in the aqarium.Nice......
I remember Opryland was very big.I think it was bigger than Dollywood if i remember correctly.So,if it was that big,yes,i can imagine how big Opry Mills would be now.HUGE!LOL Bigger than my little mall down here....LOL
Have you been to West Town Mall in Knoxville?That mall is big,but i can imagine Opry Mills.Opry Mills would probably make three malls of West Town Mall in Knoxville.

i have probably been to the mall in Knoxville before years ago, shopping with my Mom. take care.

I've been there a few times myself.But not many though.LOL
Take Care Rhonda.

cool.

their mall is fairly different though.i think they've got three levels on it.

it is a very nice mall, and i remember going shopping there now.

that's cool.I love malls.I love going in there to see what all they have to offer,lol.especially Spencer's store.I've always loved that store at the mall.

yeap, i do as well, that is a must stop at the mall. you never know what you are going to see in Spencer's Gift's. lol.:0

Opry Mills even has a Spencer's Gift store. you and your girlfriend are going to have to come up here to Nashville and check out the mall.

Yes,Nashville mall sounds interesting.hehe I think we'd like the mall up there.

yeap. i am going one day next week.:)

That's kewl.I like shopping at the mall,hehe...;-)
Especially when they have all of those cell phone shops there.hehe

i enjoy going to the mall also.

Little Melinda loves going to the mall too.:) she loves going there every first of the month.Especially to go look at Prophets,LOL and sniffing of the perfume and checking out the pots and pans.LOL that tickles the $hit outta me when she'd go and look at Rachel Ray's pots and pans thingie.We went to Walden's Bookstore one day and she seen a book of Rachel Ray.And gosh,you should've seen her,lmao.she wanted it so bad.So,i bought it for her and told her that it was her early b-day present from me.She's still got it to this day.I'm glad that she likes it...;-P
Take care Rhonda!;-P

i would love to have a cooking pan by Rachel Ray.

i think melinda would too.lol that's her favorite show on the food channel.and than of course paula dean and emirel.

i love Paula Deen, i think she is about the sweetest woman on earth. lol. i wished that we lived closer where we could get together and go shopping at the mall.

I know,lol.she does have a vewy sweet sense of humor and attitude.i like her too,even though i don't watch her tv show.But melinda does though everyday.i sometimes turn my back around to look at the show she's watching,and there's Paula Deen on there.hehe
it'd be gr8 if we all closer.that'd be cool.
Take care Rhonda.

you too.

BTW,I heard from my Father tonight....
and guess what he's up to?He's getting along alot better than i thought he was.I called him on his cell,and,he was busy.And i asked him,"Whatcha doing Dad?"I'm working on a lamphouse over here at a theater in Nashville."WOW!How's your foot doing?"Ah,it takes spells where it would hurt."
And so,i had to let him go b/c he was working on the lamphouse in the theater.But,that shocked me totally.
He told me that he was suppose to be at home in bed,and he says,"which i aint",lol but he said that in about a week or so,he'll be back to normal.Melinda heard the whole conversation when i called him,and when he called back b/c i had him on speakerphone on my cell.And she was like shocked.She said,"How can he move like that after he had that bad wreck?"beats the $hit outta me.LOL

So,i thought i'd give you an update on that one.really amazing.

that is great news about your Dad! he sounds like a very strong man. i am glad to hear the good news. take care.

LOL He more less laughed at that crazy Mexican,and said that he's tough and he can handle anything.LOL My dad is just so humorous in alot of ways.When he does get hurt,he laughs about it and acts like it isn't no big deal.That's what i love about him.Is the fact that he doesn't complain about pain.His motto in life is,"No pain No gain."LMAO He's a riot.Thanks Rhonda for that comment.
Take care.

your very welcome.

Thanks for being a friend Rhonda,and i hope that you have a wonderful and safe Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Take care.

your very welcome.

Have a nice week!

yes,this time of the year you can find excellent deals on everything.
i found at Circuit City a laptop for only $248.that is an excellent buy!
desktops are very cheap too!If i had the money,i'd spend the $200 on a laptop.that's about the best time to get something that high if you want it.
for yourself that is,hehe.i've seen bunch of excellent deals everywhere and i just wish that i had the money in the mid of this month.flips me out.

lol sounds like you had a big time that night!LOL
thanks for responding.
