On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Grace doesn't look too alarmed by the giant gingerbread. She knows she could take him...

Everyone here is passed out. Wine and a full meal do that, I guess. My dad went to do the rock-in-his-head exercise (osteoliths? Anyway, the rocks in his head broke free and are giving him dizziness) and now I hear him snoring. Guess he didn't get as far as the next exercise.

Hey ND! I can't wait to see you.

A DeWalt! Not too bad. No big tools for me this year per say. One of my students gave me a pink tool bag with "the basics" in it; however, my needs are bigger than it can handle! My big gifts were clothing and a new 160 gig iPod. Mom and Dad gave $$.

What kind of car do you have these days? I have an amazing car story to tell you!

Totally shifting gears...what kind of cell phone are you using these days? I'm WAY over due so I'll be upgrading while on break. I'm polling like minded 'gadget' people and getting some input.

This looks like someone is getting some good advice. Not sure who. And this is just adorable.

I bought a 2005 Mercedes C230 Kompressor on Sunday.

I'm drinking the CoolAid, as such, I got an iPhone the day they were released.

Nice! Congrats...

I'm driving a 2006 Mustang these days.

Not surprised. I should have known. Thoughts on the iPhone? I'm trying to figure out if I should take the plunge or wait a bit longer.

There are a few little hangups with the iPhone, but I've been overall extremely happy with mine.

I'll probably have to give in to my techie/gadget fascination and get one. The worst part will mean shifting back to AT&T as a carrier. I don't know what I'd get otherwise.

Anyone have a recommendation on a good cell phone?

You might want to ask the same question over in the Buffistechnology thread.
