One of our longest thread members fuzzymystic's son is coming home today from Iraq !!!
She has flown out to be there for his homecoming so todays exercise is dedicated to him !!!
You all are welcome to stop by and add your welcome home wishes !!!


HOW SPECIAL. I AM SO HAPPY TO HERE WHEN THEY COME HOME. I REMEMBER WHEN MY SON IN LAW CAME HOME LAST YEAR.

Today's Question(s):
I can not wait to see
A face when they open up the B I got them for Christmas ?

5 different answers:
1) A = Nick; B = DSLR camera
2) A = Alex; B = bearded Dragon
3) A = Josh; B = Load of Star Wars stuff
4) A = Ben; B = Huge remote Controlled Truck & iPod
5) A = Wife; B = restored advanced-level wood Clarinet



Extra Credit Question:
Not to cause a panic, but tomorrow is Christmas Eve !!!

What last minute things do you still have left to do ?

Cook the meal. Everything else is DONE! First time ever for us that we are totally done before Christmas eve... late Christmas eve.


Bonus Question:
I was having this discussion with a friend the other day

If you found out a favorite restaurant that you go to a lot was sited with a bunch of violations during the last inspection, would you still go to the restaurant or find somewhere else to go ?

It would depend what the violations were for. Sanitary, Labor, etc... some would likely cause me to go elsewhere, most would not. Oh who am I kidding; if the food is good, I'll eat there and continue to eat there. My DW would never go back though.

I can not wait to see my husband's face when he opens up the big 'cystal ball' I got him for Christmas? It's a plain sphere but he was eyeing it in the store a few months ago. His name is Merlin, so he's into the wizard stuff.


Extra Credit Question:
Not to cause a panic, but tomorrow is Christmas Eve !!! YIKES! I need another week, I really do.

What last minute things do you still have left to do ? Clean up the house a little more, wrap the husband's gifts.


Bonus Question:
I was having this discussion with a friend the other day

If you found out a favorite restaurant that you go to a lot was sited with a bunch of violations during the last inspection, would you still go to the restaurant or find somewhere else to go ? I would probably still go, although it would depend on specifics to the violation. I don't worry about those things. I happen to know that some of the 'filthiest' restaurants are the most upscale ones. The public simply doesn't see it.


Today is:
National Pfeffernuesse Day I should buy some at Trader Joe's!
Economists Day Hmmm. . .?
Festivus Appreciation Day
Don't Run Out of Tape & Wrapping Paper Day Well, I am a little low on ribbon and small bows. But I'll wait until next year.
Happy almost-Eve to everyone!

Buy tape that i forgot to wrap presents, wrap presents...one or two items left to buy, and food shop.

Ouch... how do you like to see yourself making history by becoming the first persons to orbit the moon, and the first person to get space motion sickness?

Today is:
National Pfeffernuesse Day - Pf... what day? LOL.. If I can pronouce it, then I'll celebrate it!
....
Don't Run Out of Tape & Wrapping Paper Day - LOL.. Well, if I ever run out of tape and wrapping paper, I have plenty of duct tape!
Try some Victoria Secret's pages for wrapping paper. It'd be pretty and bright, and would be so personal because it would be SO Magnum Mike!

I've hinted at nothing. DH took me clothes shopping as my Christmas gift since I'm not exactly easy to shop for.

I cannot wait to see Lydia's (my almost 3-year-old) face when she opens up the new toy kitchen we got her! Okay, it'll already be open and put together for her, but it's the gift I'm most excited about for all of my kids.

Last minute things to do are cleaning the house and DH has a few things to pick up at the store tonight. That's pretty much it.

Would I eat at that restaurant? Honestly, I don't know. I might.

Until they cleaned up their act and passed inspection again I would definitely go someplace else!

Yes I would still go. Cooking kills germs, parasites and bugs!! I survived worse meals than a few violations.
