Christmas Countdown - 2010

[Christmas-A-Holic]

Well I am back from walmart and hobby lobby. I was disappointed that hobby lobby hasn't gotten anything new in since the last time I was there. I did buy a cheap 12mp digital camera at walmart though. So now I am ready to take pictures of all the christmas events coming up.

Just responded to your first post about a camera before I knew you already bought one, lol.

Good afternoon everybody

I am stuck at home while my wife and kids went to Old Sturbridge Village with other family, I have to go to work so I was not able to go. Not much is going on, but it has been nice and cooler than usual and no humidity.
I hope everyone has a good day.

What is the camera that you purchased, made? If you do not mind me asking.

I bought a Sanyo S120. I have been playing with it the for the last hour and it takes pretty good pics. It was only $70 so I wasn't sure how good it was going to be but it had good reviews online so I went ahead and bought it. It has a 3x optical zoom and then a digital zoom after that. The pictures start to get a little blurry when it is zoomed out all the way but they are definitely better than my old camera. It has a nice size screen and can use regular AA batteries or rechargeable ones.

Not bad at all! Good to hear that it is an improvement!

I hope everyone has a nice Tuesday evening. I am off of work tomorrow and not sure if I will make it on here. If not have a wonderful Wednesday as well.

Today was my parent's 40th anniversary. Talk about time flying....I can vividly remember my Dad's 40th birthday...next year he turns 60....can't believe it!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to your Mom and Dad!!! How simply wonderful!!! cheesy

I have no doubt you'll pick up guitar easily. Those finger tips will hurt for a while, but one day you'll realize they don't hurt anymore.

My dad taught me chords, but I can't read music. I can only play by ear. My son is learning now, and I'm helping, but he's getting formal lessons, too. Hopefully, he'll surpass me and I can play rhythm in his band one day! cheesy

Thank you, Brad! Oh yes...my figertips hurt today - but...after dinner I picked up the guitar and started playing cheesy. HA! I actually called my Dad to let him listen over the phone. He's happy that I am teaching myself to play. Like you, Dad taught himself to play by ear. He is VERY good!

That's great that your son is learning! To me - I just love music in the family - and in the world!

YIKES! Go to work...come home to find 227 new posts here! I don't think I'd be able to stay awake long enough to go through them all! That's great though...lots of Christmas Spirit here, that's for sure!

Just wanted to stop in to wish you all a merry evening!

They did....18 and 17....

I love to hear that! Most who marry that young don't last. I am glad to see they did! cheesy

Well, now!
Our member ArkansasChristmas has kindly worked up a new avatar for me, suggesting a new look might be in order!

I am torn between retaining my traditional crown or adopting the new design.
What do you think? Should I keep the old or go with the new??
Your opinion is coveted.
Thanks, Guys!

Set the traditional crown as your profile picture and the new design as your current avatar. Swap them as desired. You could create a "crown" photo album from which to pick and choose as well.

Wow! IT. IS. HOT. Make no mistake about it! Really concerned about all these young football players out there who are having to battle the heat.

One more night, then I'm headed home to my precious wife. She is really in a mood...thinks she needs a good ol knuckle sandwich....gotta keep her in line. HAHA. She won't read this and that is why I typed that!

Going to be here for a little while reading all the posts. See ya later!

Good evening all!

I saw the first sign of Christmas at Walmart today, it was the Better Homes and Gardens Christmas Crafts magazine right at the checkout. It is amazing how fast the season is coming. Just a matter of weeks until Christmas merchandise is in every store. My boys had a blast at Old Sturbridge Village, they loved the animals and everything about the place, they are going back on Saturday. I will be working so I miss out again.

May Christmas trees and twinkle lights warm your dreams tonight!
