Black Friday crowds are too much for me - I hate crowds and people get so out of control - Good luck to those who love it, but I won't be a contender

Are you kidding!!!! I did that Black Friday once. When my kids were little and boy what a eye opening experience. They push , shove get mad and take things that are in your cart if they can't find it. It is easier just to sit home and be safe.

Can I ask you a question on the acqu go product, does it let you cut out 10 1/2 squares. We do 10 in squares for quilting and this product could be a life saver.

I avoid Black Friday like the plague-I was knocked down and stepped on AFTER having sale items ripped from my hands by the I had no idea what the bell meant, and did not get out of the way of the stampede! My first AND last time at a big city sale! That was 40 years ago--but once was enough-----
Quite a christening for an Iowa farm girl

:( I went once waited on line and it was the first time I was late for work. I am retired but it gets very vicious out there. Lots of my gifts are handmade and I went shopping Saturday and I am almost done.

I tried to get on-line last year because we were spending Thanksgiving with DH's family, miles from any Jo-Ann's store, and Jo-Ann's entire system crashed! Hopefully, they will be better prepared this year for the hoards of on-line shoppers.
