friday get specific deals, and i actually know a ton of people who do black friday shopping for themselves or the household like a new tv or things like that, not always their overall shopping. so they say people are looking for specific deals for themselves, for someone that they love, but not all of their shopping. so it really is outweighed. >> interesting. yeah. because i think a lot of times black friday are people that are looking for very specific deals like you said -- things in their house like a tv or something. they have been looking long enough they know this is a crazy deal i have to take advantage of this. >> this is what i want, they are the ones getting in line for it. and getting the family gift. >> yes. i had this pointers for being a great guest that i think is so so you know the holiday season you're probably going to a lot of parties, getting invited to places. >> you know who the bad guest was yesterday. [laughter]. >> maybe they are still there. [laughter]. >> don't tell anyone who it is. >> don't tell them, maybe just share this information politely with them. turn the tv up really loud right now. >> hey check this

right. >> maybe the bad guest is still sleeping, hasn't helped you with cleanup. still sleeping, you don't know when they are going to leave. >> drank too much, said a lot of really inappro-pro stuff. all right. >> trying to avoid everybody in the morning. >> right. so the first thing they say is if you get an invitation rsvp asap. they say don't wait. people are trying to plan, and you got to look at your calendar, they say even one or two days max. if you worry you're goingto forget, set an alarm to remind you have to rsvp. >> i learned this from you because i am horrible at this and it used to be something that used to drive you nuts about me. i still do it sometimes. but i like to wait until the last minute because sometimes you just don't know if you can do it because you have all of these things going on or whatever. i learned that it really, really ticks people off so. >> i just count you as a yes. >> until i say no. >> until you say no. [laughter] >> this one is if you bring something, make sure and i think

fully cooked, that it's in a presentable dish and it has the necessary serving tools. >> that's great. don't bring undercooked eggs. get everyone sick. >> if you have to do a lot of prep stuff in the kitchen that's a pain for the host. >> i like the serving tools idea otherwise, you get there and you are like oh, do you have a whatever. they are like running around already with their own stuff. you don't need to add that stress. >> i totally agree. when the host is this is my thing, they aryi you want people to eat because you put a lot of work into it. be a herder they say, so if the host is trying to get people to move to another room or something, be somebody who is like, yup i am going there come on everybody. >> use a dinner bell. dinner bells are underrated. >> put away the phone -- you're good at that. >> uhhuh. >> talk to the stranger that's really important. the last thing is if you think you've overstayed your welcome you know the host is like dozing off or something don't apologize, because they said the host will naturally say it's okay, you should stay.

and leave. [laughter] >> i haven't gotten that one down yet. >> i'm the last one to leave. >> you might be the last one to leave, but people like to think they are throwing a party that people want to stay at. >> that's true, and i always help clean. >> yes, you to you're good for that, too. >> and you always put away your phone. have you a lot of things going for you as a guest. all right, before we move on with the show, we want to take a look at today's arts cameras plus picture of the day. >> viewer bridgett miller sent this adorable photo of her three-year-old daughter lucy. lucy was at her school's halloween party and had already changed out of her kitty cat costume. you should never change out of your kitty cat costume, lucy. however she couldn't resist leaving on her whiskers while enjoying a cupcake. how cute is that? >> that is awesome. >> you rocked it lucy. >> i love the name lucy, too. that's adorable. >> bridgett she is adorable. >> if there is someone special in your life you want to see them on tv, make them our picture of the day. all you have to do is email us and tell us their story, too to pictures@themorningblend.com.

>> winter weather is of course inevitable, so it's important to review and prepare to get behind the wheel during snow, freezing rain and fog to name just a few. >> that's right. anne scallon is back from before the wheel to get us and our teen drivers ready for winter driving. good to see you. >> thank you, great to see both of you. >> always such an important information you know when we start talking about changes of weather, i always think the first signs of wt always get you know, nervous in new weather. what kind of steps should parents be taking, especially for teens preparing them for winter weather? >> i think one of the first things is to just kind of three words that i put together -- focused, informed and flexible. > uhhuh. >> so when are you going out driving as we talked about, you always need to be focused. so avoid any of the distractions.

wisconsin. so you can go out one morning and it's bright and the skies are clear, you need to know what is going to be happening at noon and your drive time home and all hose things. then flexible. if you do some planning in advance, you can take care of some errands so you are not waiting the last minute before the holidays or something like that. >> good idea. >> you always suggest you know the maintenance of the vehicle as being, you know, kind of should be a top priority. so, certainly your brakes have got to be good. the vehicle and have those things checked so you know what kind of condition your vehicle is in, so that includes everything from tires, wipers and fluids, super important especially as get to winter. making sure the oil has been changed. the belts and hoses need to be checked and the battery needs to be good. >> exactly. i would call whoever your repair service is and tell them to do a winterize with the vehicle. this isn't something that is 100% in our control. if somebody pulls into your

who is distracted, you can't control that, but this is 100% in our control, to get our vehicle winterized well in advance. >> i just did that myself, i know just rotating the wheels is so important too. gas tank, i'm horrible at this. in the winter you have to keep it how full? >> at least half. [laughter] >> i have heard it a million times, i don't always do it. i need to make sure, we all do because it's so important when temperatures get really low, to have enough gas in there to work your vehicle. especially if y the ditch and need to stay warm or something like that. focused driving, you mentioned really talking about that. practicing, step number three with your teen. what does it mean to practice? >> i always say you know if you can find a parking lot that is pretty empty, one of those first few days that it gets really slippery, and as tiffany mentioned people get scared so they kind of overreact sometimes on those first few days. what you want to do is get out there and just have them do all sorts of maneuvers with braking and turning and speeding up and slowing down.

comfortable, but they get used to how it feels when there is ice on the ground or a light snow. >> because it's counterintuitive. a lot of people know when you are spinning you want to turn what into the spin or away from it i can't even remember. >> you want to turn in the direction you need to go. that's opposite of what most people do. they just react and do something else quickly. >> so practice is key. >> absolutely. you also say in terms of staying informed responding to updated information being aware of the weather, knowing what is going on, and looking ahead for that. not just when you are heading out the door, but as you're going to be coming home or returning from wherever you're going. >> right and also we all at this time of year, are going to have a lot of errands to run. so try to think of it in advance. don't waste it, if you are supposed to drop something off for the school some props or something for the program, don't wait until the very last day. try to set it up a few days in
