So what did everyone get for Christmas? I got a hot chocolate machine and earrings.

I got 4 pairs of Levi's, two long sleeve shirts, one
short sleeve Baltimore Orioles shirt, and and a UMD
'Fear the Turtle' hat.

I got a lump of coal from Rowdy.

And a used inflatable doll from Greedy.

nothing

A Foodsaver with extra bags, two video games, two books, couple of shirts, and a Miami Hurricanes jersey (just in time for Friday's Peach Bowl).

Tickets to the Ravens - Vikings Game (it was good even though the Vikes did loose ) It was my first NFL game I might add.
Reloading supplies, seat covers for my truck, Ramps for my ATV.

Oh and I almost forgot 3rds on Greedys used Doll (does anybody know what to put on rubber burns)

I got a new avatar.

a pair of diamond stud earrings, tickets to The Nutcracker, perfume, and a Tommy purse and wallet

James Patterson's newest - Mary, Mary - started & finished it on Christmas Day, a grasshopper whirlygig, some clothes, and a Wizard Of Oz MegaBlocks set. Had a heck of a time wrestling it away from my grandsons so that I could take it home!

I think "Mary Mary" was in the stack of books I bought my wife.

I got more than I deserved, but one of the highlights was homemade, home-canned spaghetti sauce. YUM!

You're gonna love that foodsaver! The canisters are good for cookies and chips and pretzels and cereal.

I got the mothership (big one) Foodsaver, too. It seems big enough to bag dogs and small children. I didn't get the canister, but was eyeing it up in the literature that came with mine.

I have a couple other family things going on this week, but by the weekend, I plan to have every piece of meat in my freezer bagged and sucked.

I got an accent table from Pottery Barn. Turquoise bra from VS. Photo albums. Polaroid film, (to take pics of the guys with Greedy's doll). Earrings, necklace, head scarf. CDs, DVDs, gift certificates, candles, curling irons, sweater, wine, pajamas, socks.

waiting to see the bra on heathercam....

I'd like to see the accent table. Where's the Heathcam free trial code?

Table and bra.

Heather did I mention I used to be a bra inspector. I'd be happy to do a safety inspection for you

I didn't know you were a CAD guy, Greedy.

I sometimes tell people I'm an architect.

I got a box of biscuits, A box of mixed biscuits, and a biscuit mixer.

A nice jacket, DVDs, Old people don`t need much. LOL

Sheetz coffee
MASH seasons 3,5 & 6
Lowes gift cards

Dual Screen DVD player for the car! Made travelling with 2 kids MUCH better.

Biscuits? Those nice cheesy ones from Red Lobster? Mixed bixcuits...I suppose the same ones from Red Lobster...? Biscuit mixer? You like biscuits or sumfin? I luuuuurve me some biscuits.


I'm taking issue with these things. C'mon! Nothing else to occupy the kids? No harassing banter? No classic war zone in the back seat? Let's just mind-zap them with a TV in back seat? What happened to constructive fighting? Or am I getting old and uncool?

Art Vandelay?

OK George

We've tried lots of things but 7 hours in the car with a 5 year old (with autism) and a 2 year old can be quite a challenge. During the daylight part of the trip they worked on coloring and workbooks but during the dark part of the trip they watch 1 movie (Winnie the pooh or some other non violent movie- Which are getting harder to find). I don't think 1/7th of the trip spent watching a calming movie constitutes "mind-zapping".

Old and Uncool? No just not as open-minded as some. This is not meant to be an insult just a comment. Everybody makes choices based on their experience. Some are good and some are bad. I do agree with you that there are some kids who watch entirely too much tv. Mine get no more that 2 hours per day most days only 30 minutes and that is educational not mind numbing power rangers, et. al.

Happy New Year!

I got a gift certificate to racing school. Pretty sure I am going for the stock cars. Still checking out the tracks available and the options.

GreedyXJ PM me if you need any CAD printing or stuff for a portfolio done I run a shop.

I got a blue topaz necklace and earrings, and some bath & body works! It wasn't a very big Christmas, present-wise, but it was awesome family-wise!!!

CPD: I wish they had those dvd players when my kids were little. We had a mini van, and I had to put one in the middle seat and one in the "way back" seat. Then had to somehow keep the son in the way back seat from kicking the middle seat, and keep the son in the middle seat from "looking" at his brother in the back! I miss those days of "He's looking at me!"

"stop touching me!" "Did not!" "Did too!" "Don't make me stop this car!" (I actually did stop the car once during this trip- you should have seen the reaction.)

Good for you!! Followthru is very importanta and consistancy too for the "handicapped",but I'm figuring that you already know this.

Thanks, Everyday is a learning "experience".

word up...thanks...PM me a link if you have a web site
