I had to return a 22lb turkey to Albertson's because my father in law dropped off a fresh 24lb turkey his boss' gave him. Generally, we would have enough people to warrant cooking two turkeys this big, but not this year.

I have to get rid of a few years worth of used batteries but finding a really close recycling place is hard. Gotta scout the Best Buy drop off later.

That's pretty lame. No one to gift it to?

Would have just made it later myself, the wife picked a smaller one we'll make later from the sale prices and my sister-in-law all ready was making the bird.

Publix had $5 off any turkey and the turkey was .58/lb.

For around $5 we picked up a 22lb turkey.

I'm worried that Best Buy won't give me a price match because it's Black Friday today, but the sale item shouldn't be a Black Friday sale item -- it says it goes to next Thursday, so it should be a regular weekly sale item that went on sale starting the week beginning Black Friday.

I wanted to buy Shadow of Mordor (the PC-DVD version) from Amazon.com.

(They had it on sale for $19.99-down from $50 normally- earlier today..but when I went to check it out,the sale had ended.)

Fucking bullshit..

I was not able to make a purchase with my AMEX card and had to make it with my visa card and because of that I got less rewards than I otherwise would have.

Everywhere I look the best Bluetooth over the ear headphones is always the Beats by Dre one and I can't believe that. I want a wireless over the ear pair, but I don't trust Beats to actually be the best.

How about using corded headphones with a pendant-style BT remote/receiver, like the Sony SBH52? I really liked my old Sony MDR-BT22 Bluetooth headphones from 2007 after I replaced the foam with 50mm leatherette earcups from China but it didn't support APTX like some recent sets. Have you looked into the Samsung Gear line?

I only like the over ear headphones, and I'd prefer active noise cancelling. So, that really limits my bluetooth options. =(

Beats are actually not bad. You can find cheaper though, but IMHO most really aren't better except to those that hate the whole Beats culture.

I have a pair of first gen Beats that I won (whatever the $300 pair on release was) and they are decent. I just expected there to be better wireless, noise cancelling ones available. I don't care about price so much, as I just want a great pair I can use everywhere (around the house, gym, work) and I need active noise cancelling along with over ear.
