  • What’s on your Black Friday list?

    Even though Thanksgiving is late this year, it still snuck up on me. Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate. That means Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday are upon us. 

    I’m trying to hold back this year, but curious, are there any must-haves on your list? Anything on your wish list that would make life easier?  

    I’m stocked up on rechargeable hand warmers, but it’s still hard to pass them up at a bargain.  Glad I have them as I’ll be using them momentarily.

    I’ve been doing a LOT of online shopping these past few days and have gotten some good deals. I also shop through Rakuten, which gives cash back, so it makes shopping even more enjoyable, haha.

    Honestly, the only thing I want for Christmas this year is a towel warmer. I absolutely despise showering in the winter because I get so cold and then have a tough time regulating my body temperature afterward. I’m hoping a warm towel will help.

    Is there anything on your wishlist?

      Yes, a towel warmer sounds divine. Any specific brand? If you get one I definitely want to know what you think of it.

    For Black Friday , after talking with my father about how I was thinking about upgrading my 3D printer, I decided it was a worthwhile investment. I was planning to put it off for a few years, but with concerns about Trump’s plans to raise tariffs, I figured i had better not wait as the one everyone recommends comes out of China. I had enough in my ABLE account …it was Tuesday before Black Friday …so transferred some money to my ABLE card. Wednesday…money not there, Thursday money not there. Black Friday comes…i go to make purchase …money still not transferred. Saturday …still waiting . Sunday …still pending. Sale was going to end, so had to put it on credit card which was already overdrawn. Any other bank, debit, credit card, transfers are instant , especially when they already have the money…but because disabled and this is the only legitimate way I can save money…treated like a second class citizen who has to pay more.

      Sorry to hear about the issues with the ABLE account transfer. Things like that are just a pain. 3D printing intrigues me, but not enough to delve into it. I bought a cool fidget gadget from the farmers market a kid had made. He had some fun things. What kind of things have you made? I’ve been tempted to look for a joystick knob on Etsy.
