Merry Christmas to you too!  still Christmas eve here for another 10 hours

Same to you  Philip and BFF... I've got 3 more hours of my shift today... and either a 10 or a 14 day tomorrow so i'll be around all day if people get tired of their families and want to entertain me!  ;)

I'll be home for Christmas and probably online for at least a little while tomorrow.  I went to a church service today and will be going to a service tomorrow.  Haven't had a real tree in I forget how many years. No stress and I am so glad that someone has decided to stop bitching about everyone and everything.  Will be our first ( just the five of us) nice family Christmas.

Same to you  Philip and BFF... I've got 3 more hours of my shift today... and either a 10 or a 14 day tomorrow so i'll be around all day if people get tired of their families and want to entertain me!  ;)

Boo for dutiful daughter duties.

My father refused to wish me merry Christmas or send me a Christmas card....apparently, because I don't believe in God I must not believe in Christmas  ::) .....he was  not humored by my reclaiming it as Consumerism Day  :D

yup, if you don't believe in such in such in such in such way then you don't count. ::) 

Merry Christmas everyone

Hope you all have a great day.

I only put up one, I did not want them to get buried...  






Oh and YES - they love them!  Just imagine it was a Teddy Ruxbin, you woulda loved it too 8)

Sorry Ninny,

Just remember Christmas can occur anytime, it get's so hard to try to make it to everywhere and see everyone's families in 2 short days, and let the children enjoy their things as well!

I don't think it's a time scheduling issue... sounds like,  with all due respect to Ninny because it's her daughter, but it sounds like Missy has resorted back to her previous bratty behavior. I'd hoped she'd grown up some over the years but it sounds like maybe not so much.  >:(

My Christmas Wish:


May you all be happy & healthy. And may there be Peace on Earth.

Christmas was a way to get Pagans to convert because Pagans didn't want to give up their Solstice celebrations. Most of our so-called Christmas traditions stem from Paganism. In fact, the Solstice (Dec. 21st) is called Yule. Holly, Christmas trees, mistletoe, all have origins in the Pagan religions.

Edited to add: The most important Christmas tradition that is stemmed in Paganism-the birth of a baby boy. In Wicca, the Goddess gives birth to the God on the Solstice. Hmmm, that sound awfully familiar.


Cat

Merry Christmas to everyone on actual Christmas day!  ;)

Thanks... I'd pass this along but it'd just piss him off more... he isn't very open minded on the subject there is only one answer for him and everything else is just hate filled BS.    He's not sure how he ended up with me......so's my mom since I'm a Netherlands born cheese hater!  ;D

Teddy Ruxpin was my favorite toy I used to own one.

I sure hope so in 2012.

Merry Christmas (and karma+1) to all!!

I have been busy the last couple days with last-minute holiday preparations, and so far my Christmas holiday has been really nice. :)

My Christmas Wish:


May you all be happy & healthy. And may there be Peace on Earth.




Cat


You too

I in the faith I found happen to celebrate Christmas like a Christian would, Jesus ( God in the flesh) is born.  I did not get this faith from reading the Bible or going to church, I got it long before.  What if God is love and even those that may not believe the Bible or whatever can have the same love?  I love this site

OK - The bionic woman barbie?  Michael Jackson Doll? Kitty Karyall???


Kitty Karryall!!  ;D  It was Mrs Beasley for me!  but the Bionic Woman doll was pretty awesome too!!!

Teddy Ruxpin was my favorite toy I used to own one.


we had one on display....my section was the dolls sections so I heard that thing everytime someone walked by it. I listened to it for hours upon hours day after day. week after week. Finally it "broke" and I couldn't be more happy!

Us three kids each got a Christmas card from  aunt Rosie and uncle Mike with money,  more money from some people who didn't leave their name, and some candy.  I got some Reces Pieces and some butter rum Life Savers, which I found out taste exactally like butterscotch putting cool.


never had a talking toy and never wanted one

Happy whatever you're having!

I had Dancerina that I had to share with two of my sisters.


After 3 girls had a hold of her, this is what she looked like (She is on the right).

After some TLC from my sister (who has custody of her), this is what she looks like today:

She still has a broken crown but that can't be helped. She is looking much better.


I also had a Chrissy doll-who's hair grew. Don't know what happened to her. My sister may also have her, too for all I know. I know she has custody of my Madam Alexander dolls. She takes very good care of them and I do have visitation rights.  ;D ;D ;D



Cat

I still have a well loved Bionic woman in a box somewhere in my closet....I'll be happy when I get a real house so I can put my toys out!

your sister does good work O0




oooh... I should ask you to ask her if she has any Mrs Beasley glasses....that's all mine is missing...

Yeah, she does. Which is why I trust her with all my dolls.


Oh, I forgot to tell you that she once wrote about Dancerina and how we had to share her.

Of course they are missing. Getting a Mrs. Beasley with glasses cost $$$$ because the glasses were easily lost. I will ask her but I just can't ask her right now-I'm sure you understand why. Remind me in a few months-ok?

My mother gave them to them; what was I to say - NO :D

But my Barbie clothes, do not fit barbies of today...  and really some I have taken away.  They have my homemade doll house, and for that I am grateful.  But my barrel of monkey's - who know's . I tool away my Bill Ding blocks, and tinker toys (as I was unsure about the lead levels in the paint), my jack in the box is fine...

I actually wanna try and get a bunch of building blocks...all natural wood not the primary colored stuff...


I have had kids in my house....back when I had more toys displayed and they would just look wide eyed and get all mad because they weren't allowed to touch. I imagine, to the person who doesn't know my I could come across as a kiddie diddler cuz I live alone, collect toys and have a stock pile of video games and kid movies and stuff.... but I'm just an adult who didn't like the whole growing up process.  ;D :D

I played with my toys, so they are not quite collectibles, no boxes and such... Figure the girls get as much joy as what they are worth...  But the barbie clothes thing sorta makes me laugh



Oh and did I mention - my barbies are mine (except for the obvious played with ones) - the ones with all pieces, earrings, accessories, shoes... Those are mine, and I will play Barbie with my girls every so often 8)

Oh shyt!!!! That's hilarious!!! don't know how I missed those but apparently I did!


Good stuff... some of toys are played with... I didn't start collecting until later

They still make them... But I have my set (from early 70's), and my mother's (or her brothers- controversy there) sets from1940-50's??? I loved playing with them, I think they are the only clowns I like (and they remind me more of tin men than clowns)

I had an awesome Christmas. Opened up a ton of great gifts, then spent breakfast with my extended family (aunts and uncles and cousins and the like). After that I just crashed at the house and enjoyed all my gifts :D

OH!!! I forgot to tell you guys about my christmas gift.... I have a few things at home to open. My mom tells me not to get excited about it cuz it's just little crap that she found throughout the year... probably stuff I would've gotten in my stocking if I had one. 


I don't care I love opening gifts so I can't wait til I get home!


But, the best gift I got is my parents decided to pay for my Paleyfest Pass this year. Every year I cross my fingers hoping my tax return is enough to cover the cost of the ticket.... this year I don't have to worry. I can use the money I would've used and eat out...usually I go out with my friend but always order off the appetizer menu b/c it gets expensive eating out 14 days in a row... breakfast, lunch and dinner.... so now I can eat and not worry about being overdrawn.    Plus I can actually give the friend who puts me up and takes care of Effie for 3 weeks some cash...


It's all good!  O0

I know... and then silly her... cuz she hates my weight...said that if I lose 25lbs she'll pay next year too.... I was already tying to lose weight anyway... I'm mad that she thinks it's just so easy that a simple bribe would motivate me. Obviously if it were easy I'd've done it long ago but I found a different motivation in me to get it done this time....  I had gotten up to 15lbs down since halloween but I totally blew it this week... I gained about 5 or more of it back... I'll get back on it in a couple of days.

my mom's great dane used to hate the sound the Wii remotes make so she would bark incessantly at us and frequently try to bite us when we played... fortunately (I know this is horrible) but fortunately she is no longer with us so the games are much calmer at my moms house now!

this dog was kind of a pain in the ass... her name was Kajah... I decided it was short for "callate" Kay-ya-te  which means SHUT UP! in spanish...actually I think it's just Be Quiet but ya know... lol  that dog barked at every damn thing. seriously! She barked at the wind! the leaves, the trees, other dogs, people, cars.... it's been so quiet since she passed away.

It is amazing how we get used to some "bad habits"...  atleast your mother believed in the "forever friend" not the "till when" friend!

the dog had been in and out of several homes... my mom loved her and didn't have the heart to be yet another home the dog wasn't welcome in.....she had a good life...maybe she was just really happy and constantly saying thank you  ;D

It's been played about 12 times....  All weekend that christmas by me and the kid.  A few days the following spring by me...and a few days the following christmas when they gave my mom a wii fit... my parents don't wii.....at all.... it's kind of funny..but I enjoy it!  it quells the boredom in that home.

That is a cute doll.  :)

I had a nice Christmas...my mom cooked a lot of Italian food and it came out really tasty. And I got mostly clothes as gifts.

looks like all went well for everyone around here

I don't think it's a time scheduling issue... sounds like,  with all due respect to Ninny because it's her daughter, but it sounds like Missy has resorted back to her previous bratty behavior. I'd hoped she'd grown up some over the years but it sounds like maybe not so much.  >:(




That's are Missy, when she doesn't get her way mom and dad suffer. We let her back even though she's emancipated, she did not want to follow a few simple rules so we said see ya, she contacted DSS and they asked if she could move back in, we said yes and now she's mad because she thought she would get a place to live under section 8. We were told were not seeing Daniel, but she had to kiss up yesterday to get a ride to her grandpa's for Christmas. She says she may get Daniel on Tuesday, but did not say if we could see him.

It really sux that she treats you guys that way and uses D. As a pawn in her games.  I wish you a peaceful year and lots of days with your beautiful grandson.

Unfortunate for everyone involved that Missy cannot grow-up and be a responsible parent, to use a child like this is horrible.  I hope something improves, and you have a better coming year ((((((((hugs))))))))

OH!!! I forgot to tell you guys about my christmas gift.... I have a few things at home to open. My mom tells me not to get excited about it cuz it's just little crap that she found throughout the year... probably stuff I would've gotten in my stocking if I had one. 


I don't care I love opening gifts so I can't wait til I get home!


But, the best gift I got is my parents decided to pay for my Paleyfest Pass this year. Every year I cross my fingers hoping my tax return is enough to cover the cost of the ticket.... this year I don't have to worry. I can use the money I would've used and eat out...usually I go out with my friend but always order off the appetizer menu b/c it gets expensive eating out 14 days in a row... breakfast, lunch and dinner.... so now I can eat and not worry about being overdrawn.    Plus I can actually give the friend who puts me up and takes care of Effie for 3 weeks some cash...


It's all good!  O0


SOOOOO WHAT DID YOU GET ????????? 

I am so excited I want to know, and I keep searching and being let down - enquiring minds want to know 8)

It really sux that she treats you guys that way and uses D. As a pawn in her games.  I wish you a peaceful year and lots of days with your beautiful grandson.


Bitch needs slapped.  Repeatedly.

I just sat home watching A Christmas Story marathon.

Bitch needs slapped.  Repeatedly.
LOL...  and then there is that!  She definitely needs to realize excuses and manipulation are not going to make a life for her or her child.

Merry Christmas everyone!  Rice_Cube gave me gonorrhea for Christmas!

No, seriously, look ;D:

Giant Plush Microbes
the gift that keeps on giving, hopefully he didn't give it to anyone else  ::)

I got a gift card to Sephora can finally order the perfume I like...well at least put it towards the bottle since it's expensive.

My kids did ignore us most of the day, playing their nintendo 3ds and PSP. Went to my Sister-in-laws and kids got more presents.  I ate too much.

Today we went and bought more stuff, video games mostly, the kids both had gift cards.

LOL...  and then there is that!  She definitely needs to realize excuses and manipulation are not going to make a life for her or her child.


I've just seen poor ninny post about this stuff too much.  This girl needs to have her ass whupped.  My aunt used to pull that crap with my grandparents, and it did nothing but f*ck up the relationship my cousin SHOULD HAVE had with our grandparents.  All because they didn't cave in to some stupid demand my aunt wanted.  Fut dat.

I'm being ignored by both the husband and kid.  Husband got Gears of War 3 and Kid got Mario & Sonic At The 2012 Olympics.  They're taking turns playing the games since we only have one television.

So I'm posting away and pondering more ham for dinner. :D

Oh yeah!  The best gift I got this year was a life sized cardboard cutout of David Tennant!  My friends, knowing my obsession, bought it for me for Christmas.  It is this one:

http://cdn.cardboardstandups.com/images/standups/300/0876.jpg

He's now standing in the corner of my room, wearing a Santa hat. ;D

I also got an Android plush from Rice, and a pair of pink furry handcuffs from my other friend. :o

I got my grandparents wedding pic. My grandfather died when I was 18 mos and my grandmother died in '97.  My mom has had the original pic since my grandmother died.  Considering my eldest aunt is almost 90  or over 90 I'm'a say the pic is really old.  I've gotta ask my mom what year they actually got married. I figured I'd get a copy but never expected th original pic.

I got a duvet cover, the Roger ebert bio, a book about writing tv shows, and some cd wipes.

Thanks all we all hoped that she would have matured, but I guess that was to much of a miracle to ask for. We plan on giving her time because we all know she needs us to watch Daniel we she wants to go out with friends. If there ever came a time when we can't see him lucky for us Tim went to school with a lawyer.

That is cool

That is cool


It is.... I don't really like having the original stuff from the family tho...the line ends with me and I fear what happens to it when I expire...I'm gonna hold on to it tho til my mom is no longer with me then copy it and pass it on to my cousin so she can give it to her daughter and so on.... 

I don't know if I mentioned this, but my mom offered me one of two family items that she's had my whole life... either a set of pots she used to play with as a kid. they are small pots, doll sized... or a painting my grandmother painted in the 1920s or 30s... I really wanted the painting but told her I couldn't take it for the reasons mentioned above so I took a pic of it and plan on getting that framed...it's not the same but I'll have a piece of it with me always.

the gift that keeps on giving, hopefully he didn't give it to anyone else  ::)


It's only a plush doll What's the worse that could happen?  ;D

Howard, Q is in Cali so I would say yes they are.  I know there is a See's candy store by me.  If you don't have one by you, you might be able to fine them online.

I See.  :D ;D

Q is the one that received them from her landlord so I assuming, since both live in the U.S., that yep they can be purchased in the U.S.

Yep, just like I said...  Sometimes I wish I would read further down, I wouldn't have to waste so much energy typing...

Thanks Dag & Sami!!!

But just in case.....

Howard I live in Cali....right next door to my landlord....so yes she was able to buy them locally.

There are stores all over the US go to Sees.com and check for locations near you or you can order online.

let's see...a 2lb box of of See's.  I'd settle for 7 of the 15 and stop there


Better seeing Badfinger-fan, I think she wins if she takes them to work.
What she may lack in taste and sweet, she makes up for it in health, popularity and thin  ;)


MERRY CHRISTMAS

You know that the internet is open 24/7 right?  :P 


I looked...they seem to mostly be in Lord & Taylor and in Macy's in the greater NY area....
There are a few other locations but they are further away from Queens

Sorry, by their website, they are only readily available in select Lord & Taylors, or Macy's stores.  I have never heard of them and searched, there are none in Iowa and only 2 in Illinois.  So my assumption that they are probably not at Pathmark, still stands by their website information.  I guess they can have some other locations, but why would they not put them on their locator, it would be easier to sell them that way.

there are also independent See's Candies stores.... unfortuately the closet location to you.... per the website is Peoria IL.... next time you're in Chicago you should look for one...

Well, nothing is readily available in Iowa,(snarky  ::) )  I live in the Boston area so there are a couple of places they can be had.  One of the advantages of living in civilization  (double dose snarky  ::)  ::)  )

That is what I was looking up.  Near my stomping grounds, there are a few, but most out of range - Lord and Taylor or Macy's is my best bet...

I have no idea what Lord and Taylors is but I know that Macy's is not a clothes store...it's an upscale department store. they sell furniture and kitchen ware in addition to clothes, shoes, accessories and perfumes....     


Howard. As I've said several times now See's is specialty candy.  They are sold in See's stores. That means that Macy's and Lord and Taylor have See's shops within their walls.

I guess not all Lord&Taylor's are the same.  The Lord&Taylor's in the Chicagoland area that I have been too have a Wedding Department, Fragrance and Makeup Department, and a Home Department (for lamps, small appliances, china, and home accessories).  As well as a cafe, coffee/tea place...

Update, it took a little over 3 weeks, but we finally got to go and get Daniel :) The look on his face when he saw us was priceless. Missy is still staying at friends, but came down yesterday to spend time here (until we pissed her off again ::))We just have to remember she will always want to do things or go places, so she'll always need us.

Yay!
