I'm smug because I've got my Christmas shopping done, other than some stocking stuffers.

I'm thinking about USB hubs, and I don't trust Amazon reviews at this point. What kinds of hubs have you had and/or used, and liked, and which have you disliked?

It’s gotten so rough this year, fights are breaking out at the Amazon checkout page.

I have not yet done any shopping. But I know what I am getting for everyone on my Christmas list.

I’m getting gift cards. Then people can pick out their own gifts. No hassle about getting just the right present.

I will go to Bath and Body works for all the ladies on my list, and get them gift cards there. As an example, rather than stressing about what lotions and fragrances and soaps and candles they have, and what each lady might like, each lady will be able to pick her own. Such gifts will be appreciated, and the result is much less stress on me to get just the right gift for someone.

I used to do that. In recent years I've managed to avoid that unless I suddenly realize something isn't going to arrive on time because the boat from Europe sank or something.

I got swept up in that, had to search for fabric bandaids and "add to cart".

:^) Next year I'm going to have lifesized cardboard standup images of myself, with a word balloon that flips between "Merry Christmas!" and "I Love You", and just give one of those to each person on my list. :^)

My son just picked us up 500 rounds each of 9mm at Bass Pro. Our TV is starting to fail so we just ordered one to be delivered from Best Buy.

I’ll go to Home Depot sometime tomorrow morning to get my other son a drill.

Good choices. The in-person shopping I've done while actually in the big stores for groceries has shown me there are LOTS of good deals on useful stuff.

I went grocery shopping Tuesday night to avoid the Wednesday grocery store rush. Parking around the Walmart grocery store and other grocers Wednesday was not quite as bad as “black Friday” sales are.

Not sure that’s a bargain. My solution is watch parties with someone who does pay.
