Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

~ John W. Howell

 

Black Friday

Since most have the Friday after Thanksgiving off, we need to change the meaning of TGIF. My idea here is to slow down the passing of Friday and the rest of the weekend. So for this week only let’s just say TGIF means Thursday’s Gift Is Friday. So we have the whole day, and the next two before reality comes knocking at our door.

I hope you all had a good Thanksgiving and are not going to be mauled too much taking advantage of the Black Friday deals. Today’s JohnKu raises a question about Black Friday. Hope you have a good weekend.

Get up before dawn,

Freeze until the doors open. . .

Or order online.

I have been working in business for over forty years and now have the time to work in special areas of interest. My passion has always been to create compelling stories of fiction. I have authored six novels and am working on my Seventh. The first novel is still in manuscript form and being utilized as a door stop in the laundry room. The second is a contemporary fiction novel of 89,000 words and is complete and I am currently seeking a publisher. I also write poetry but have not had the guts to share any with anyone. The one time I read a piece to a person their only comment was, “it doesn’t rhyme.” I will continue to write and hopefully my blog, Fiction Favorites at www.johnwhowell.com will provide some entertainment and an interesting thought or two. I live in the Austin area with my wife Molly and an assortment of loving pets.

  2. Order online, order online. I just wish it had been easier when my kids were young. My son told me not to worry about paying because I had a checkbook and my daughter said not to worry as Santa was bringing the stuff. No worries, right. 😀 — Suzanne

  4. Or just not shop today. The best gift I’m getting, John is an extra day. Our fiscal year ends November 30, and I had one more vacation day to burn. Do I have Monday off, too. Still not planning to shop.

    Enjoy the extended weekend.

  13. Shopping online today! Good deals and some free shipping. May have to make a trip into CC next week for final shopping but will go early morning in the middle of the week. Enjoy this glorious TGIF weather which will get even better tomorrow. I am in no hurry for cold weather. Cheers!

  14. I hardly ever go to stores anymore – I just order online. Food and the post office and the pharmacy being the exceptions. WHO in their right mind would want to shop on a day called Black Friday?

      1. Yes, I’ve done the “Black Friday” thing three or four times and it has always been a bad experience. I rather do my Christmas shopping throughout the year. I usually find some great items on sale. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, John. ❤

  16. Good post, John! The gift for me is having a long weekend. No shopping on black Friday; it’s not worth the crowds. We love REI’s idea of getting outside, getting active, instead of shopping. I wish more stores agreed with that concept and weren’t so concerned about the dollar. And for the consumers, there are good deals up until Santa’s arrival anyway. 🙂
    Have a great weekend!
