Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
tommy you should stain it blue. So you'd be like Picasso's man with the blue guitar theremin.
so I'll have to think about whether balsa wood flying about the living room is a great idea.
Balsa wood planes are very light. They don't knock things down any more than a paper airplane would.
Emmett and Matilda both got Silly Putty in their stockings too. You can roll up a comic book for a stocking. Gelt is good.
DE - yep, we have and he does that some also, although the books we have gotten are harder to follow. I may have a book up in the closet, in fact.
Wow, nothing to put a damper on spending desires than a quick look at the balnces on cards. I have one thing I need to still get and I guess I should go do that over lunch.
From xkcd - the battle between physicists and biologists moves to a new phase: Cuttlefish
PZ approves: Fear us
I think I need more for mac's stocking
Scratch-off lottery ticket.
(What? That's what my mom puts in our stockings....)
Okay, maybe not for a 7-year-old.
I wish my lunch were here.
For the stocking, I often got a fancy toothbrush (and in my easter basket, too), and of course an orange.
Me too! Plus a book and art supplies.
oh man, this is the first year I won't have a stocking! I'm suddenly absurdly sad about that.
That reminds me to bring some of the stupid crap I have in my house to put in my parents' stockings. Some of it possibly from my own stocking in past years.
If I can help it, I am not leaving the house today.
In my family, grownups still get stockings. This means I have to stuff my own, but so be it! So far I am getting Raven Red nail polish and Lindor dark chocolate mint truffles.
New Orleans Bread Pudding w/Whisky Sauce
Molasses Spice Cake w/Orange Buttercream Frosting
These seem the most holiday to me.
I must say that, although I'll miss being with family on Christmas Day, I am loving the presents coming to me thing: having the UPS guy leave packages for me (for once), seeing the presents under the tree and wondering what they are, resisting opening them (because I'm all alone so who would know?). Also, not having to come up with stocking stuffers is an extra bonus.
ETA: In keeping with the Christmas insanity that is my family, stockings get crazy packed.
