Good Morning!!!!!
Macca was correct! I was playin' with toys! Somebody here got this huge robot dinosaur thing and they went off and left it in predator mode so it had me pinned to the couch  all day yesterday! Whew... that thing is vicious!
No unshopping for me until next week when things calm down in the return lines a bit. I went to one after Christmas sale at Target and they only offered 50% off. That is not a sale.
Might go see what High Point has to offer today....

Oh yea... the dinosaur. He hunts, he stalks, he guards the house and he even runs. He has a nasty set of chompers and thinks nothing about taking a bite at your ankles.
Luckily, he and I have made up. I'm even contemplatin' takin' ol' Dewey (that's his name btw...) to the next council meetin' to make sure certain people don't act up.

WHE wrote: Ok, I thought, a thirty-minute delay is acceptable, then I will be on my way. Well.....FORGET THAT! Once I saw the stack of unwrapped gifts, I quickly realized that I was to be imprisoned by Scotch tape and brightly-colored wrapping paper for an undetermined time...perhaps, forever. Head down (in the sulking position), I dragged myself upstairs to the wrapping prison. There, I began planning my escape from certain death as a result of unintentional gift abstinence. I can see the NWO headlines now...GUILTY! HANG THE BUM!
Perhaps this last minute shopping strategy has a flaw...who would have thunk it?
word to the wise... next year shop where they either wrap for you or provide these snazzy lil' gift boxes... or even better... go by the Dollar Tree & buy the already decorated boxes... stick whatever it is you buy in the brightly colored boxes & voila! No more scotch tape fights in sulking positions in the floor and no risk of being hangged as "The Bum"!!!
PS... Bass Pro has stuff for us gals & they have cool boxes plus folks that wrap (for a small donation of course!)

I think he needs to think $chiffman's next year.
He also needs to think $erious 'bling bling' as well for next year.
No matter what he thinks, he ain't outta the doghouse yet.
It may well take a couple of years for him to recover.

Why, Jimbo! Sounds as though you may have had some personal experience with this kind of thing!!!! ♥♥♥

Actually Macca, I am not a last minute shopper. In fact, over the course of the past few days (including half of last week), I have now done most of my Christmas shopping for next year.
The original post while admittedly humorous on one level, has bothered me since I first read it, and it would fall into the category of what I would consider to be MY worst nightmare.
Gifts should not be measured by the value of the gift as much as by the thought behind a gift. Something as simple as a plate of homemade brownies or a handmade craft or card can mean more and be more well cherished than even the most expensive gift from the reluctant giver. Unconditional love starts with unconditional giving of self as much as any number of or measure of monetary value or simple possessions. A handful of flowers personally handpicked by the giver will always trump a dozen roses ordered from a florist. Hallmark doesn't make the card which can ever surpass that one drawn and written by the loving considerate cheerful gifter.
You see, I still think the greatest gift a parent can give a child is quality "time" without time limits. The same holds true for our significant others, spouses, families and closest friends.
Such a priceless gift is the gift of our personal quality time shared with a loved one, and it still remains the least expensive but most valued one, that no amount of money can really buy.
We none of us, ever stop and spend enough time smelling the roses or eating enough ice cream or relating intimately through the sharing of 'self' with family and friends in this hustle bustle world we have created and live in.
Can you not imagine the hurt and pain which would have been present in so many homes in the Northwest area on Christmas morning, had the wonderful folks who volunteered to pick 'angels' from local Angel Trees simply ran out of time, or for whatever reasoning or rationale imaginable, had failed to deliver the considerations which were expected of them by others? Or if a Father had simply failed to take the time to have presents under the tree for his young children? (They used to horsewhip folks for much lesser transgressions)
Regardless of whether a spouse, significant other, close friend or close family member, I simply cannot imagine the hurt and pain and shame that an oversight in giving at least one well thought out gift might have caused all parties.
My simple hope is that a lesson has been learned and I know that all sins can ultimately be atoned.
So Macca to answer your question, while I am guilty of a lot of sins, being anything less than a passionate romantic is not one of them. And that starts by loving another as much (or more) as loving ourselves.
Maybe I should start leading a class (for men) on how to shop for women (on a timely basis)?

HO!HO!HO! JIMBO!!!
Until your last posting, I thought we was just havin' fun!!! This IS after all, M.A.A.N. -- Much Ado About Nothing!!! I never thought for a minute that WHE was all laid up with 34 stitches on his haid, limbs a'danglin' or anything like that.... I also figured himmer was just pokin' fun at himmerself for not getting out to FINISH up himmer's shopping.
ALSO, I never meant to accuse YOU of being an oaf who would be so cruel as to not select the perfect gift for everyone on your shopping list!
(BTW: Glad to hear that you're a hopeless romantic! Not many men are secure enough in their manhood to admit it!) ♥♥♥
Now, if I could just figure out how to get on your Christmas list! OOOooppppssss! Guess I'm too late for next year, since you've already done your shopping! Maybe 2008???? ♥♥♥

Mornin' all.
I tried givin' Mammy a homemade chainsaw once, but she gave me a look that was worse than a hoss whuppin'. I'm just glad she couldn't get the thang started! I've stuck to storebought chainsaws from then on, with a full tank o' gas in the chainsaw an' a full tank in my getaway truck just in case.

Morning all!
I was just sitting here reflecting on how fast this year has gone by. It seems like just yesterday that we were all concerned about y2k and now it is 7 years later and no planes fell out of the sky on New Years day2000.
Hope this is a great year for everybody.
I found out yesterday I can walk on 2 feet in 2 weeks so the New Year is already looking good.
Happy New Year!!

When I get romantic, Mammy tells me it's hopeless. Does that count? Hee hee!

| Pappy's cat has decided to renew my contract fer another year. My official duties include payin' the mortgage on her house, maintainin' a steady supply o' cat food, operatin' the portal to the outer world at her whim (also called the back door), keepin' her bird herd fed, makin' sure her spot on her couch is clear at all times, an' general servitude of the sort as befits a pitiful human.
