been biting my tongue for a while now....

Christmas is the only time I ever do any shopping, and it is usually at the last minute when the pressure is on. That is when I find all of the stuff I want and get so sidetracked with it all that everyone I should be buying for ends up getting gift cards.

..im off to the malls!!!...girls and coffee...i luv this time of year!!

went christmas shopping today ...got everyone covered except my mom and dad. my wife and i bought a sleep number bed for each other ..as we have both been having back issues and our old matress is toast.

 

Thanks for the thought, Rick and right back attcha! And the same to all my friends here on the forum. Couldn't find better people anywhere and I appreciate you all. Merry Christmas!! (I bought myself a wagon...maybe I'll put a card on it like it's from some good looking girl....)

 

hey im up for a crap exchange!!!!

anyone getting something from me better open it (and probably feed it) as soon as it gets there....and shouldn't be allergic to cats!

so far my attempts to mail mylo to abu-dahbi havent worked out!

 

hmmmm... I've got a few large storage totes full of Pentium I and II era parts that are overdue for disposal.....
Need to make more room for less obsolete stuff.

 

I am up for a crap exchange as well. Do we have certain catagories that we have to stick to, like Auto type stuff?

 

We bought an Elvis CD last week with that song on it and 'Santa and team' doing the vocals. My wife and I both started roaring out loud!

I'll get my poet brain on this week for the annual prose. In the meanwhile though I gotta say that you guys are family for me. Thanks for being great people!

More to come...

 

I LMOA at a crap exchange, Oh the stuff I could get rid of...but then what would I have in return...

To Rev (who starting this thread), and all merry X-mas and ll the best in the new year.and a little bit of

I Love this season even though I B*tch about it alot. I have felt nervious I guess about it this year, but it's all good. This time last year a was a bit sick...sicker than normal I guess and like most guys did'nt see a doctor because we all have the attitude.."I'll be fine", I've just got a bug etc". "I'll feel better once I go to work and start moving around, staying home/doctors is for babies" I made it through X-Mas some how and was 911ed out of my house the day before New Years and spent New years in intesive care...I was able to go back to work 2 months after that. I've been smashed up and am full of steel thats holding me together but this time I almost died! Pancreatitus just about got me.

I am greatful for lots, and am graetful for my loving bride and my now adult child who my wife took over the role of mother for her at a young age ( I was a single father young). I miss my Mom but I know she is here, I strangely get reminded now and then. I am Greatful to the Capatain of a Swedish Vesil that found my Mom and her sister as stow aways during WWII and took them to safety. I miss my Dad but he is still alive at age of 89 living over seas, A man who being a soldier survied WWII after being torn to shreds and still to this day has shrapnel in his bones. Dad retired very high in the DND (department of Natioal Defence) in a civilin position

I have nothing fancy, but I have a house, 2 dogs, an 'ol truck, and a wagon plus my famdamily...how can a guy b*tch?

Merry Christmas To every one!!!!:2_thumbs_up_-_anima and thanx for having me over

OK, Bah Humbug, I just can't take a good pic of the X-Mas lites but I did find a pic of me and my Dad....But what ticks me off is, how do you guys uplink real size pics??:banghead3:

 

BEST time of the year!!! Merry Christmass one and all!
Two trees up and waiting for the grankids this weekend to finish decorating them.
Ages 11, 9, 7, 4, 3
Ornaments and cookies will be flying. Gotta LOVE IT!

 

Ouch my knees hurt. Wife and I jut spent 2 hours on the living room floor wrapping up the presents for our 2 toddlers. My oldest 2 only want money, what fun they find in only getting cards with cash is beyond me? We have a new 47" Plasma TV and a Nintendo Wii with 6 games and lots of controllers and accessories in the front room. That is the gifts that we got for the whole family. We broke the Wii out 2 weekends ago to test it out and I will tell ya, having to move the controllers around to do the motions on the game is a work out. We got a fighting game called Soul Calibur (I had it for the xbox as well) and you have to swing your arms around to do the swinging of the weapons. What a damn work out, we were breathless between rounds. We also got Mario Kart Racing with the steering wheels, that you actually turn like you were really driving. She did tell me to pick out a game for myself, so I picked out Cabela's Dangerous Hunts with a rifle attachment. If you don't kill the animals, they kill and eat you, LMAO! Wife wanted this balance board and a fitness game to excercise, so she can stay in shape and do her yoga, so I spent the $100 for that as one of her gifts, shh, don't tell her. I can't wait till Christmas morning, to see the expressions on everyones faces is gift enuff for me.

Ted...im impressed with the lights>>

Stove snuck over and put my living room on youtube a year or 2 ago...

Man, you've got a future as a store display designer for XMAS storefronts! Nicely done! Thanks Stovebolt. Don't let the Rev hide his lights under a bushel...

See Tedy's outdoor lights.

With all those trees around your Sleds, you could really help the car-jackers out.

 

Damn Rick, you need a woman!

If we did that here, one would have to buy stock in National Grid Power. Our electric bills are ludacris.

But seriously, that is cool man.
