*susan* 1,709 Posted December 17, 2008 I am glad someone else was familiar with the Trixie Belden series. I don't feel like such a geek now. Plain, I love Joey from friends and knew that was who you were doing. This is my favorite time of year at work. I know I have mentioned before that I work in the fundraising department for a not-for-profit that takes care of abused, abandoned, and neglected kids. I am so proud of the community, despite the economy they are coming through with tons of gifts to make sure all our kids have a great Christmas. I just finished being on live tv showing us collecting and loading up a ton of the gifts. It was fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*susan* 1,709 Posted December 18, 2008 It really is great to see people help out like that. We always try to sponsor a couple of the kids ourselves. My kids really look forward to shopping for them. It always helps get us in the spirit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BethFromVA 5 Posted December 18, 2008 Right? It's a GPS; not a bar of gold or a heart for pete's sake!!! EXACTLY! I've seen stupid little things packaged like that: scissors, small inexpensive hand tools, toys... it's insane! You about slice a finger off just trying to get into the damn thing and ruin your scissors trying to cut it. About takes a freakin' blow torch to get in. :shades_smile: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
