  • Uh oh, these last minute shoppers are in a bit of a crunch with just select items on the shelf left like "Demolition Man" action figures.
    I wonder why they didn't sell that well?
    ... 🤔
    Perhaps Barney can save the day for some children!
    This video last around 6 minutes.

      Christmas is about giving and celebrating the ultimate gift - Jesus, it's not about receiving so if one puts thought into it for another, doesn't matter where its from! The love and thoughtfulness is there.

    The early 90's how I miss you so much from the music to being a kid and watching TGIF playing SNES going to the movies felt like a big deal. Everything was just better and it's not even close nothing is perfect in life or ever will be but the 90's in general felt as close to perfect as it could get at least for me.

    Walgreens now has a sale, but I can only get the same price If I buy it online. So I ask once, so I go to the car, order the items I need in the app, wait 15 minutes, then come and get it. Bit ridiculous, for some reason they’d rather you buy online and not shop in the store.
