Merry Christmas!

Only 35 more procrastinating days til shopping. :P

^ You're in keeping with all the stores that have their Christmas stuff out already. :mrgreen:

I've already bought stuff for my hard to please group.

Mom gets fancy military style jackets. :mrgreen:

Husband a cool bowling ball bag.

All on eBay at reasonable prices. :victory:

I like to spread out the bills during this season of giving......

To the credit card companies. :beaten:

the day after Thanksgiving, Black Friday, will be the biggest shopping day of the year, and they anticipate a very big one this year.

I opt'd to stay at home and sleep in, i'll pass on the rush, and save some $$

anyhow, X-mas is coming soon!!

here's to a beginning of a Holiday season with the Thanksgiving holiday coming this week.

Very cool... From Amazon. :victory:

No one's attempted this in a commercial product before, but Nihon Dengyo Kosaku Co has reportedly developed a device that makes it achievable: a 'rectenna' that can fit inside a microwave oven and recycle unused wave energy. The palm-sized gadget combines both an antenna for catching waves and a rectifier for converting them into DC current, with a maximum output of 100 watts. Foods with a low water content have the worst heating efficiency, which means they offer the best opportunity for reclaiming energy -- so stodgy Christmas cuisine would be perfect.

Off topic, but how's he doing? Getting better?

Better meaning no longer screaming but still on crutches. Think about a five on the one to ten pain scale. Usually he improves quicker but at least he is a little better every day and not worse. Huge relief. And thanks for asking.

On topic: Totally rocked on my hard to please Moms gifts this year. She said they were amazing. My siblings are going to hear about all it. :hehe:

They don't stand a chance against two super designer jackets I found on eBay and the ultimate mitten/gloves for her blackberry.

Also sent out more of my snail mail cards today and got some very nice ones in.
Thanks, dear. :muack:
