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.

i have not been into xmas at all; ran out to the grocery store just now for a few things, and bought 6 families christmas day dinner. haven't done a damn thing for my family just yet; but that's sorta getting me in the mood. the tree only has lights on it; and that's because DH did it.

thanks,

Thanks Susan for the reminder of the spirit of the season.

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.

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:

I always wonder how my grandmother who's 89 would get into this horrible packaging! Booooooo

I have often say that the people in charge of that type of packaging should be in charge of homeland security!
