    *****Official What did you get for Christmas Thread*****

    Best Christmas Present Ever: My son was born 3 weeks ago, 8 weeks early, and is doing fantastic. Can't wait to get him home from the hospital. Also got a Kindle and some e-books from my husband, which turned out to be better than I had expected. I'm so glad he didn't listen to me when I told...

    Web Browser?

    I use Google Chrome with AdBlock at home. I like it so much better than IE. At work, I'm stuck with IE6.0. I don't suggest it. :no:

    Feigning an Injury... or Actual Injury?

    That was either fake or that player is so dumb he needs someone else to tell him when he's hurt.

    The old "free breast exams" trick actually works!

    Wow. Apparently there are some women out there that are dumb enough to actually believe a breast exam at a bar is legit. :no:

    Inappropriate clothing?

    Everything she is wearing is extremely classy. No extra cleavage, not showing too much leg. The only thing I could see that MIGHT be a problem is the tightness of the wrap dress. Might be better in a marketing department than a bank.

    Favorite local radio station?

    Depends on the time of day. I listen to the morning show (for my 5 mile commute) on Laser 103.3, and usually keep the radio tuned to that. However, when they play things I don't like as much, I jump around to some other stations; 105.1, 107.5, 102.5 and if I'm really desperate for music...

    Casey's Rejects 7-11 Offer

    Thank god! I was worried what would happen to their pizza if they got bought out. Anyone been to the store out by Jordan Creek across the street from Kohls? The layout reminds of of some of the newer Kum & Go stores - very large, clean and stocked. The kitchen is great, and they have 2 of the...

    Sidewalks

    I wouldn't have such a problem with Iowa winters if the snow would just learn to fall on the grassy areas only and stay off the sidewalks, parking lots and roads. And a nice little path through my yard so my dogs can go to the bathroom would be nice too.

    RED

    My husband was disappointed - he expected a lot more out of it. I thought it was pretty good, not something I'd buy but a good show.

    Leaving Iowa

    My brother and sister-in-law moved to the 'burbs outside of Seattle 6 years ago, and they never plan on moving back here. In fact, they even refuse to come back in the summer or winter anymore, because the weather is so bad. That being said, it is overcast there a lot (and I found it hillarious...

    Why do class reunions spark new romances?

    My 10 yr was sometime in the last 2 years and their plans were to meet up at a restaurant that was crap back when I was in HS and has only gotten worse, then spend the night at the beer tent for our towns annual celebration so they could all get wasted. I graduated early to get away from...

    Keeping Record in the Age of Online Payments

    I think the idea of keeping things for 7 years relates to taxes. If you deduct things on your taxes, you're going to want to keep any records pertaining to that for the 7 years (although the IRS can basically go back as far as they choose should the choose to audit you, but I think 7 is the...

    What's the last good book you've read?

    Loved that book. Never in my life have I felt such an urge to pull out my pocketbook and write a check for a cause. I just finished 61 Hours last night - Child is one of my favorite authors, and one of the only authors whose books I will buy at a bookstore instead of a 2nd hand book sale. In...

    Preferred car brand of choice. Practical or emotional?

    My husband usually approaches me about buying cars when he has nearly everything picked out and excuses/reasons for every question/objection I may have. He does a ton of research on all aspects, but sometimes lets his emotions get in the way. I usually get the Yes or No vote, but often I will...

    Okay, Hawaii 5-0 sucks

    I'd never seen the original, and wasn't too excited for the new one (never even heard the theme song until an episode of NCIS last season). However, my husband and I watched both episodes so far, and we enjoyed it. Granted, it's not NCIS, but it's a hell of a lot better than CSI: Miami. Also...

    Favorite CURRENT television show?

    Dramas: NCIS, NCIS LA, Good Wife, Mentalist Comedies: Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother I have yet to see any new shows this year, with the exception of Mike and Molly, which wasn't all that great. Hawaii 5-0 is on the DVR, and we hope to watch that soon.
