They were old and just worn out. We really didn't want to buy a new washing machine, but there isn't a good repairman here anymore. We don't go shopping on Black Friday, but we had to this year. Youngest son had to get a new backpack before he went back to school. The zipper broke on the way home. There weren't ANY crowds at our mall. The mall wasn't busy last year during December, either. I wonder how many people are like us. Stuff is just worn out and can't be repaired anymore. [/quote] too bad theres no MEN in your household, they could fix that washer and your son's backpack. i fixed my wife's clothes dryer, cost $20 in parts and 10 mins of my time. i also fix the plumbing fix the electrical fix the cars do the landscaping etc etc et fucking cetera grow some balls you metrosexual bitchboi [/quote] Damn, son...who pissed you off today? Get it right, I'm just a bitch! Sorry, the washer was 20 years old and we couldn't get the parts. The backpack was a piece of shit that wasn't worth fixing and, yes, I DO know how to fix zippers. I DO know how to fix my own plumbing, do my own landscaping/gardening, raise animals, can food, etc., etc. Also, I DO know how to trap, skin, fish, and hunt. SO...anything else, baby? [/quote]

I call Bull Shit.
"Consumer confidence rose in November to the highest level in more than four years, a sign U.S. household spending will keep growing.
The Conference Board’s confidence index climbed to 73.7, the highest since February 2008, from a revised 73.1 reading the prior month, figures from the New York-based private research group showed today. The median forecast of 75 economists surveyed by Bloomberg projected a reading of 73."
