Christmas Countdown - 2012

Sugar, Thanks for letting me know on the food. Those chocolates do look good!

You're welcome! I agree the stuff is expensive, but my parents buy a lot of things off of QVC, if it is a good deal and it is going to hold up or if they really like it! Ha!

 

[caninemom3]

Is it me.. or does QVC purposefully try to find the strangest looking children to advertise their toys.....

I have noticed the same thing.......Nope it isnt just you !! xo

Absolutely awful.

Good heavens ... somebody shot several people near the Empire State Building. http://www.boston.com/news/nation/2...te-building/MtJLo4JhtdT2kGgSH1yv5J/story.html

That should have said, "without written consent."

I talked with my reconstruction doctor, and he said, "No, no, no!" A nurse at the pre-op site said that if anyone gave out info with written consent could be fined and maybe even lose his or her job! She said they would not even give out info to my husband!

Yesterday I ordered "A Christmas Carol" - the original with Alister Sim! I ordered the collectors edition with the Black & White & the color version. I'm pretty excited to get it! I have not been a big fan of this movie - I think maybe I was burned out on it in my younger years! But the last few years I have been "craving" to watch it, so here we go!

I have that same version, Holiday !! I really like it !! xo

Also, they bought that bin of chocolate last year. It was very good too, but lasted them forever.

They should have called me!!!!!! :lol:

AFAIK, a zip line is kinda how Kevin got from the second story of his house to the treehouse. It's a line strung between two high places, and you hold onto a thingie that rolls along the line to get you from point A to point B. (Someone who's actually been on one, pls correct me as needed!)



*Cheers and applause*



I have that edition---they have some extras, including info about how they restored the film for the DVD. Sim brings a bit of humor to Scrooge. He's a riot at the end after his transformation!

[film historian] I think the "original" was made in about 1908, and there were several other versions made before the 1950 version starring Sim---so there are more versions out there you can add to your collection! I recommend the 1935 British version starring Sir Seymour Hicks. More ghostly, rather like Dickens wrote it. [/film historian]

One of my favorite parts of the Alastair Sim version is when he has been transformed and scares Mrs. Dilber half to death and then gives her a sizeable Christmas bonus........He had the most beautiful eyes.

I don't know if the principal learned her lesson or not.When I went into my rant at the meeting with her, I am sure you could have heard me all the way in Massachusetts! I told her she had unmitaged gall!

I hope they learned their lesson.

I hate to ask, but from whence leaketh a camel?

You probably do not want to know !!! :}

I would love the recipe for Smokehouse Spaghetti. You could post it in the "Recipes" section.

Good morning ~ Happy Friday!!!! :grin:

I wanted to read through all the posts before I posted myself but I don't think I will have time! :smile:

Also - yesterday I was canning spaghetti sauce - which we use for Christmas Eve in the Smokehouse Spaghetti! So since it involved Christmas & I was home alone, I turned on the Christmas music at accuradio (Christmas party tunes) to listen while I was canning - so fun! Now just when I am feeling all Christmassy...the temps outside are going back into the 90's! :lol:

I hope you all have a fun weekend planned. I'm going back to read some posts!

Make it a great day!

 

[Seawaters]

Okay, now I get it!

I will keep that in mind for this year, I'd they get it again.

 

[sugar142286]

I meant to say, if they get it again!

 

[Seawaters]

That's exactly why I did not tell my principal that I was have surgery on Thursday. I told the secretary and signed up with "Subfinder." I have no clue why she thought it was okay to get in touch with my doctor.

I hope they learned their lesson.

When I type LOL at the beginning of a sentence, I cannot get all caps, even when I use Caps Lock. Help, please?

Lol!!!

 

[Seawaters]

Cute!

Looking at a few post from last night, Made, Caninemom, Binger and a few others should be very sparkly from all the Glitter Drinks you had!

 

[Seawaters]

Great to have you back!

Good to see you, Seawaters!!!

Jeff has it set up that way. He doesn't want us yelling at each other.

Just let me know and I'll be there with a bottle of insulin.

I need to get garland for my fireplace - this will be our 3rd Christmas in this house and I've never hard garland on the fireplace. I was going to look on QVC, but may just check Hobby Lobby.

Our Hobby Lobby has some awesome garland !!! It is a little expensive but very beautiful !! xo
