Black Friday will be more like Ebenezer Scrooge meets the Plague in most of the country. Better blog only the Poor AFRICAN Americans and those wealthy Democrats with Wall Street money.
Us Real American are broke. Flat busted DNC give away made broke. Pass a law charge the citizens a million bucks in taxes, while they pay none. Government employees pay no federal taxes.

Never fall for the rebate scam from Ace. Filled them out as indtructed and never got my money back. Happened to me twice. Just a ploy for you to buy the item.

I've participated in the rebate program with Ace for the past few years. I HAVE had to follow up with them a time or two, but I've always gotten my rebates! Just make sure you follow the instructions to the T!

If you ever have a problem with an Ace rebate, please take your info to your local store and they should call corporate and get your check to you. They give out millions in rebates and once in a while there may be a mix up.

Cracks me up that a store wants its ad removed. Hey, take the publicity, enjoy the potential sales and don't pull an ad from a site and make customers mad. What are these stores thinking! I check out a lot of sites. Kinda like www.2008blackfridayads.com . It has a nice mix of 2008 Black Friday ads plus good deals all the time. Enjoy the season!

Sometimes stores will pull ads that have been leaked because of a change to the ad. I know for sure Ace has removed one of the items because of shipment problems from the vendor. Happy shopping.

vic,
You should learn to respect and work with Seniors. You should also honor them. So instead of you smart remark, you should ask L. Smith to forgive your disrespect.

Vic With your attitude you may not make it to be 80 years old. Come on - an 80 year old person using the computer needs to be applauded not insulted. Get a life man!!!

Just wanted to say "thank you" for defending the Sr. citizens. I'm one also...but fortunately don't think, or realize it until I read about some others, & their problems. We do need more people who appreciate us, like you.
Wishing you very happy and memorable days throughout this coming Christmas season, my dear.
