Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

“Uh, Lucy. It’s Friday. Time to get up and party.”

Black Friday has physically arrived. It has been preceded by virtual black Fridays since the fourth of July (Obvious exaggeration). This is the only day of the year where you can save tons of money by spending tons of money. (only in America is this possible)

Today’s JohnKu explores this phenomenon. I hope you have a super weekend

Invest your money,

In gifts, toys, appliances . . .

Think of what you saved.

  1. Stores in Europe, not satisfied with the usual sale seasons (Christmas, New Year, Easter etc. etc.) have embraced Black Friday and Cyber Monday, too. I find that quite sad. I suppose we’ll all be getting bombarded with Singles Day soon, too.

  2. Your Haiku is perfect, John. I avoid unruly crowds, which is to say I avoid Black Friday whether or not money is to be made or lost. 😀

  5. I’m going to save time and aggravation, John. I have a dog resting on me who looks like your pups. I’m going to follow that lead, at least until the temperature crawls out of the single-digits.

  10. Something tells me more special days will appear magically in future. That has nothing to do with crystal balls, mind reading, tea leaves, etc. It has everything to do with sales firms and greeting card companies. 😀 — Suzanne

  11. Even the phrase ‘black Friday’ irritates me. I’m going to spend my day as far as possible from the reality it points to. A little housecleaning, a little walk in the woods, and a little nap ought to do the trick — your pups are the perfect role models.

  15. Good morning, John,
    For us, it will be an at-home day. We feel uncomfortable with the masses in the stores. We might make use of the low prices, though, as we need new appliances to the renovated old place in Karnes City. But if so, we’ll buy online. Hopefully, we’ll be able to save tons of money! 😀
    Have a wonderful weekend,
    Pit

  17. Happy Black Friday. I do not venture out shopping today, but I will look a sale online. I’ve heard more than once to really save money don’t spend it, from a non shopper;)

        2. So, yeah. You don’t know from the cold anymore 😉 I’m sure you do suffer at 50 degrees… Hell, I’m starting to be a wimp. The other day it was -15C (5F) – no big whup, normally. Felt it in my bones, I swear.

  19. I love the photo of Lucy and Bailey snuggling together! Sometimes I venture out on Black Friday, but not today. (there was a time many years ago when I used to stand in long lines with friends). Online shopping and 16 degree weather made a huge difference today. Plus, I’m looking forward to Cyber Monday 🙂

  20. Ah the snuggle pups. I expect a moment later Twiggy took a flying leap and landed on top of them. It’s a wonderful Johnku. Nicely done, my friend.
    I love nice things. I hate to shop. Conundrum solved by the Internet — unfortunately. LOL.
    Have a wonder-filled weekend. Hugs.
