You’re welcome Ernest.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Sandoval island is not far from Fort Myer...also Captiva...rented a unit down tin that area for a week years ago...was very nice weather.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Was a nice break from the weather in Kansas City.

[Cindy]

“This Friday and Saturday, guns in S.C. will be sold tax-free”

The Rock Hill Herald ^ | November 26, 2008 | Jen Aronoff
Posted on November 26, 2008 12:30:49 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The Nichols Store can sell you a rifle, shotgun or handgun any day it’s open. But this Friday and Saturday, the Rock Hill-area outdoor emporium and its fellow gun dealers across South Carolina will be selling all of those items with a twist: tax-free, under a new sales tax holiday devoted exclusively to guns.

Long popular for back-to-school shopping, sales tax holidays have, in recent years, expanded to include energy-efficient appliances and hurricane preparedness supplies in selected states.

But never before has a state offered a temporary tax break for firearms alone — at least, not until June, when the S.C. Legislature passed the Second Amendment Tax Holiday, as it’s known, by overriding a veto from Gov. Mark Sanford.”

“Macy’s, Kohl’s Cut Prices Before Wal-Mart’s Black Friday Deals”
By Chris Burritt

SNIPPET: “Nov. 26 (Bloomberg) — Retailers aren’t waiting for Friday to offer Black Friday price cuts.”

[girlscout]

Well, our pledge says it all ... :-)

On my honor, I will try to do my duty, to God and my country. To help other people everyday, especially those at home.

That's the original version. I understand it's been fine tuned over the years.

[PJ-Comix]

I have an incredible deal for those of you who like the Viper style sunglasses with super dark lenses. I used to sell these at NASCAR races and football games. VERY popular. Sometimes I would sell up to 600 pairs in a day at those events.

I now have them available on eBay for just 99 cents plus shipping. Absolutely the most comfortable glasses you can wear since it keeps out the sun on all sides.

Check out my VIPERS with the super dark lenses on eBay.

On round 6 I so hope that the Kitchen Aid Professional stand mixer is the deal, and I get in on it!

I have the 300 watt unit, (this one is 575 watts) that I use for everything. I truly think that it is my favorite appliance in the whole world! This new one is only $69.00 (usually they retail between $500.00 and $600.00) it is a steal. If I “win” I already plan to give my old one away to a relative (they can fight over it) and keep the new one. It will be my Christmas present to myself!

Thanks PJ Comix for the link.

[Cindy]

Well that sounds like a winner coderpc.
