i got 3 pair of very thick/warm socks, a huge can of mixed nuts, a pair
of nice down house slippers/booties, the last waltz cd by the band, a
bottle of some killer garlic hot wing sauce, and a really cool model jet
RC plane, no propeller but a fan that blows out the rear. it scared the
**** out of my cats as i tried to fly it down a 25 foot long hallway. it
sounds like a super loud hair dryer. i will try to make my wife use it
as a real hair dryer just for fun. she might want to clock me with it if
i get to annoying but its made out of styrofoam so clock away mamma.
thanks for asking, merry xmas you-all

And all of them were two sizes to big.

Guess misery does like company. Made me chuckle and smile this
morning.

Got my first cordless drill, a Rob Me. One battery has been on the
charger for 24 hours, is the red light suppose to go off? Scanning
through the book I noticed it said not to force the tool, wonder how
long it will last in my possession.

Seven-year-old grandson got me a pair of gloves.... "These ought to

showed me that his little fingers only went out into the glove fingers
about half way. Then I put them on, and he checked to see that my
fingers filled up the glove all the way... His big smile with
beautiful dimples ... "Yep, they fit you good"... and away he went..
Great day.

I think I sounded a little materialistic. We had a day full of friends,
family, and love. Adorable grandbabies. Laughter. Food. Warm house.
Pretty decorations.

No misery. No sickness. No death. No tragedy. No fighting. No hurt
feelings.

Another year of life from my 8 hour reconstructive heart surgery in June,
2002.

So much when some people had so little.

I, too, have much more to be thankful for than a few gifts. Sometimes,
though, I forget to acknowledge it.

A Konica Minolta 5D digital SLR camera which was way more than my wife

Thanks, we still have one feline resident.

The two came as a set when the neighbor's cat
had kittens under our porch 11 years ago. The
female is fat and sassy as ever, but we're not
sure what happened to the male.

It was probably lymphosarcoma, which metastisized
to his brain. His temperature regulation was all
messed up at the end, the vet couldn't even get
a temperature on him when ms. mulligan took him
in the last time.

He was a sweet cat and will be missed.

Jim

They operate much better as a pair, much like lungs and kidneys.

Get her a 5-6 month old kitten, else she may mourn the other and die.
Ive seen it too many times.

Remembering Spoonful reminded me of the A***** twins. I still have
what's left of the promo album given to me by a pair of the best
looking Jewish twins I've ever met. Their daddy owned an AM radio
