Yahoo's home page is running a little animation at the top of the screen. Kids and a dog running are around doing something that I can't quite figure out.When I clicked on it (which was the idea of drawing attention to it I suppose) it opens up a screen touting some Back to School crap sponsored by Target, with shopping and games for freaks and weirdos who can't wait to go back to school. It's July 28, for Chrissakes. I guess they'd better get this out of the way so they can start pumping Christmas shopping the day after Labor Day.
I can hardly wait [that's sarcasm] for the day (before Hallowe'en) when I walk into the mall and see the festive Christmas lights and the Hallmark store display of tiny little ornaments and a rack full of Christmas cards. That will be followed shortly by news stories about how the merchants are whining about the horrible Christmas shopping season that used to start the day after Thanksgiving.
Meanwhile, it's 90 degrees and we're pumping backpacks, lunch boxes and calculators. Merchandising has taken control of our lives, and we seem to like it.

My kids start school in a couple of week here Anthony. Back to school shopping for me is next weekend. Summer's are shorter for kids than they use to be. When we lived in Georgia kids went to school year round with 2 weeks off in between sessions. I get as a mom the whole shopping thing.
I'm not excited that Christmas is in 5 months though. Not ready for that at all.
So, school doesn't start after Labor Day anymore? It does here in Jersey, but we're kinda stupid, so it probably figures. :)
so your not going to run out for the big Kmart sale. The are selling notebooks cheap
Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of hardship when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in big initial investment.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I started to get real money.
It gets down to select a correct partner who utilizes your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, parts and divides the profit with me.
You can ask, if there are such firms? I have to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
