Finally finished

I stood in line at BestBuy from Thursday afternoon (12:30pm) until this morning, less that 20 min. ago. Effectively, I stood in line for over 14 hours alongside my brother. We were 2nd and 3rd in line, and boy, did some incredible characters show up. I was interviewed by local television networks twice. Every item I intended to purchase I did - no extras either.

So people ask...is it worth it? Was it worth spending all of Thanksgiving day in line, in the cold, without family, without relaxation?

Here's my systematic response:

1) We're having Thanksgiving today instead - had this planned in advance before we decided to even go to the store. Thus, as soon as I finish this post, I'm going to bed for awhile.

2) I was able to purchase items I would have purchased anyway with savings easily over $200.

3) I was with my brother the entire time.

4) I met a lot of crazy people.

5) I was able to read for awhile...and I ate some good McDonald's ;)

6) I'd done it 2 times in previous years, and so it wasn't something I didn't know how to do already.

7) I felt like it :)

8) My brother dragged (drug?) me along.



Hope that answers you questions. If you have any that weren't answered, be sure to drop a comment and check back periodically. I'll have answered with a comment or post within a day or so.
