I'm not scrooge, but the black Friday, Internet Monday, green Monday, buyer's remorse and all that crap is getting old.

Then, on top of it our congress people can't get their act together and want a two month extension on whatever economics ail this economy.

All I want for Christmas is an honest politician. Well, I'd take a shitload of gold, but get real, neither is gonna happen.

So, with the holidays around the corner, and that means nearly over, Thank God! we'll get back to what passes for normal in this  country. Wild market swings, celebrity scandal, election coverage, Lordy have mercy.

Naw, I'm good here, just cabin fever, and its only mid December. Where does the time go when your having fun in the back 40?

Happy New Year.

Didn't the Mayans warn us about 2012?

I absolutely avoid town on Black Fridays. There's just no way I can deal with the kinds of crowds and consumerism I see on the news. My family loves it, they go and get the kids all kinds of goodies.

Now, I was thinking, IF I went to such an event, what would I hope to see on sale, at such a great price I would be willing to wait in line, camp out, hustle through the doors and rub shoulders with a million people coming down with the killer virus.

Just kidding about the virus.

My List would look something like this:

Food- dry and canned good, on sale, in bulk, and seriously reasonable. I would stand in line for a chance to buy that.

Ammunition- big boxes of stuff that fits a variety of weapons. My man would love that under the tree.

A Baby Glock- a steal of a deal, and an easy way to verify its just for my self protection, I'm just interested in home defense

Gift Cards- one where I'd pay 50 bucks, but it would be worth 100 to the receiver. Gift cards at face value, even up, aren't worth it. I'll just give cash.

I have to admit, if economists interviewed me, they'd say consumer confidence is down. Maybe that's not the real picture, maybe we just don't need a bigger flat screen, and our laptops still work fine. Maybe I have enough shoes and purses, and my closet is full.

So, how about some real deals on stuff we need?
