You collect pipecleaner jedi, you say? I just ditched a handful of the little guys, and one probable Batman. (They're adorable, but they're still clutter.) If you have a home open to them I will cheerfully send them to you! FLT: Keep repeating to yourself the words "all the more eggnog for me.. all the more eggnog for me... all the more eggnog for me..." It'll be OK, and it's a warm up for when you don't get to see your sibs at the holidays because they're spread out across the globe/continent.

Stuffed... Xmas dinner was a BLAST. I just with my stomach was bigger... lolz. We had this absolutely gorgeous ham, the green bean casserole turned out to be really really good (don't know what mom did differently this time, but it sure as heck was good!), the stuffing was almost perfect (just a bit dry, but that was my fault). And the apple pie... was really really good (despite mom not putting any honey in despite my requests ) Aiko Kitahoshi, passenger aboard the LoS, frequently awol due to the phenomina that is rl.

Vexxie!! Good to see you! MSA.. you have my sympathy, and a virtual hunting weapon of your own. Just picture yourself in a calm soothing outdoor locale with a stream, holding the CEO's head underwater until the bubbles stop. See? Don't you feel better? The good news is that the kidlet's loot was a relatively small haul this year! Or else there's a whole box lost in transit somewhere... It's a perfectly respectable pile, just not the usual towering avalanche waiting to destroy the unsuspecting. We went and caroled at my grandfather in the nursing home, who appeared to mostly sleep through it all, but did start trying to whistle along at one point... It was a nice, quiet evening.

HUGS thanks Rosie Sounds like you had a good Christmas:) Yeah the lovely Chrysler people are true morons. Two separate problems. 1- They changed my lease to a loan to buy the car and forgot to tell me to go down to the Utah DMV and sign something..fast forward a5 months they find their error but at this point I live in NV and they can't legally sell here. So I have a signed copy of a loan agreement that violates NV law. They are trying to fix it but it's not looking good 2- I sent my loan documents in with first month's payment attached. Some idiot detaches it and sends it to the lease people The lease people refund me for an overpayment and 2 months later Chrysler sends me a bill saying I am 1 month behind on my loan. I make an extra car payment that month and fix it. Fast forward 6 months. They call and say I am still one month behind. I review the incident for them and they claim my direct deposit did not start until July... yet my bank statements show it started in May. So now I have to go to my bank and have them fax the statements. Chrysler has been reporting me as delinquent to credit reports... so now I have to prove their clerical error and get them to fix it YET AGAIN. NEVER EVER get a car from Chrysler Financial... they are utterly incompetent To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others. --Francois Mauriac It's fuzzy-minded liberal thinking like that that gets you eaten.

OOOH, good luck getting the credit report fixed. I have had similar situations, and it took me 3 years to get it fixed. I was named after my dad, but ended up changing my name because the credit places couldn't tell the difference between our ssn's. I had all kinds of mis-reporting from my dad, my mom, and even a brother at one point. 7 years later, it's still not fixed, despite having my paralegal sister in law use her boss to send threatening letters.

*walks in, dazed but relieved* *sits down at counter* *looks around for Kel again and sighs* omfg. i need a drink. my comp contracted this fucking HORRIBLE bitch-ass virus on xmas day. it shows up as an antispyware popup called "spyware guard 2008" with a green shield emblem. Apparently it's rampant and dangerous and totally locks up ur comp (as i found out). i didn't even click ANYTHING on it and it still loaded to my computer. of course, AFTER this happened, my mom sent out an email about this very virus saying that as *soon* as u see that popup, cold shutdown ur comp. needless to say i had to wipe and reformat my whole comp, so i'm finally back online *phew* just a warning to all of you. another fortunate happening. i was able to pull all of my important files (aka all of my stories/works in progress) to a thumbdrive without the virus finding it *sneaky* so fortunately i didnt lose any of that. that would have made me uber upset >< i'll have that drink now barkeep ><;;

I still can't get used to the idea of dry and hot climate gardening. The thought of being able to direct seed tomatoes and grow figs and citrus is just odd to me. Have you gotten irrigation issues planned for, or do you get more rainfall than I think you do? I strongly recommend reading up and talking to local beekeepers before jumping in with both feet. Try "The How-to-do-it book of Beekeeping" by Richard Taylor. I'm pretty sure it's out of print, but you should be able to find or request a copy somewhere. Also: "Gaia's Garden, a guide to home-scale permaculture" by Toby Hemenway is a very nice book with good suggestions for making your life easier in the garden way. "Start with the Soil" is another good one (I cannot remember the author off hand, sorry). Or you can just dig up some dirt, thrown in some seeds, water and weed if and when you remember, and hope something comes up and bears fruit. Whatever. Now I'm jonesing for that double chocolate stout. What did they put in that stuff?!

Where oh where are the happy little dancing emoticons when you want them?! They're over at the pyre if you need them, dear. I just found out that Doctroid told everyone the party was starting two hours before I thought it did. Now I just need to recalibrate my cooking scheule.... Still going to be a fun time! Including us there's at least 18 showing up, plus probably several we just haven't heard from. Yay! We were introduced to a card game this week. Fluxx. Actually we were introduced to Monty Python Fluxx which is way more fun if you're a Python fan. The original game is fine, and somewhat more kid friendly.. I mean how can you argue with a game that may have a goal of "milk and cookies"? Or "war and death" is another option... There are several kinds of cards, "goals" "actions" "rules" and "keepers". MPF also has "creepers" which just add to the fun. The goal and the rules change as you play the cards. In fact the way you play changes as you play. It's a definite mind flexion exercise. You can be one turn away from winning only to have it completely blown out of the water. There's also "Zombie Fluxx" and another variant or two. We just finished a game of Yahtzee! and boychild's in bed.
