27 Nov 09 - 10:20 PM (#2775311) Subject: RE: BS: But Nothing Day From: Ebbie I did buy something on the internet today, something my dog needs. I did NOT go shopping. Public Market in Juneau which for the last 18 years goes on Thanksgiving weekend is a big deal starting on Friday noon and going to Sunday evening. Crafts and other stuff are displayed for sale on table after table in our Centennial Hall. I didn't go there either. |

27 Nov 09 - 10:51 PM (#2775332) Subject: RE: BS: But Nothing Day From: Jeri I don't like crowds. I went to the gym. 10 minutes on the bike for a warm-up, some weights and 35 minutes on the elliptical thing. THEN I hit the crowds going home post-feeding frenzy. Tami, where did you take the dogs in your PJs? (Not meaning the dogs were in your PJs. I don't think all of you could fit, but I haven't seen your PJs, so I don't know.) |

27 Nov 09 - 11:46 PM (#2775352) Subject: RE: BS: But Nothing Day From: katlaughing I went back and forth to work with Rog, today. He wasn't supposed to have to go in, but none of them know how to do anything, so he gets called in. I had a good nap waiting for him in the car this morning; then he brought me home for awhile. Morgan came over and played UNO. Now, he doesn't know my socks off, not he beats the beegeezees out of me. Not sure where he heard that one, but when I said do you mean "bejesus" he said no "beegeezees!" and laughed his head off. I then went back out with Rog to set up a live shot for a Christmas tree lighting. We never, ever go shopping on this day. I don't know where people are getting the money to do so much; it's really awful to see. |

28 Nov 09 - 01:42 AM (#2775380) Subject: RE: BS: Buy Nothing Day From: Stilly River Sage I never bother to go to any malls between the end of November and early January. It's a zoo to get in there and it's not a pleasant experience at any time of the day or week. I didn't go anywhere today, except next door to pick up my neighbor's newspaper and mail because she's out of town till tomorrow afternoon. SRS |

I have to buy things today, but I promise I won't buy anything tomorrow... unless I can't get the things I need today. LTS |

28 Nov 09 - 07:23 AM (#2775481) Subject: RE: BS: Buy Nothing Day From: Micca the thread reminds me of an Adrian Mitchell poem i set to Pixie of doom once, I cant find it on line as I think it is shielded by copyright but roughly it went " It was Nothingmas day and all the kids were not buying each other Nothingmas presents and all over town people were not scrambling to make last minute buys of Nothingmas presents Every where you went folks were not shouting Merry Nothingmas or singing Nothingmas Songs" |

28 Nov 09 - 10:11 AM (#2775531) Subject: RE: BS: Buy Nothing Day From: artbrooks A friend of mine is showing at the big craft fair here, so I spent part of the day there. Bought a print of a nice painting from a Chinese guy, in a style that I like. Drank good coffee and read fiction at a big-box book store. Came home and ate leftover turkey. Mall? Nah! Blatant advertising alert! Want something really different for a gift? Check out Steve Appel's Bolt People. There's even a section on the site for Spaw...but you have to look for it. |
