Let me rephrase my response to this thread.


Christmas make the beast with two backsing sucks this year!

1.  I'm make the beast with two backsing broke and can't go home for Christmas, or buy anything for anyone.

2. The headlines are putting me in a worse mood.

Didn't realize Michael Buble' was so political.

Mom got tupperware (It's what she wanted. Who am I to say no.)
Dad got nuts (Cashews and macadamias, thank you!)
Wife got a new pair of tires, an orchid, and a weeks vacation in Florida with her favorite(only) husband, redeemable in February.

I had fun with the attorneys in the office this year.   They got cash bonuses, but that's an office thing, not personal, so I also emailed all their significant others for ideas and got them individual fun things...one got a glass blowing class...one got a wii...one got cooking classes...(I think they all liked the $ more, but it's fun to do something small that they want)

Contributed a heap to finding a blood cancer cure, two new legs for the dawg, another life for the cat (close to her 9th), and a new rear differential for the Jeep.  Family comes later in January.  Hopefully '10 will be a little more profitable but on the other hand, '09 didn't kill me either.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Xmas to myself







Painted and crafted by me.

It's not mispelled, it is intentional as it's my last name.

Now where's that dog?

[triangleforge]

A 1972 (I think) Alfa Romeo rear bumper, made into a pot rack for our kitchen.
