    I KNOW Gunsmoke has nothing to do with Festivas (although I DID miss that segment of one of my favorite shows...thanks for posting it on FB Tator ). I just made the joke cause Festavus sounds like Festus....for those of you who have no sense of humor...unlike Scrapette.

    Got it NZ$40, saw one 2nd hand for $80 & I was gonna buy it & then it sold...

    Now I gotta find some deoderant WITHOUT eugenol in it.
    Eugenol is the smell of cloves, its also a bee attractant.....

    Which explains why, over the last 20 years, I have been stung over a dozen times, while no body else in our groups has been stung at all.....

    I have always 'Rapport' deoderant.

    that reminds me. I once had a landlord many years ago named Chester Fesmire. We couldn't say his name without laughing.

    Wife got me a Kindle Fire for Christmas...Got it last month, she could not wait until Christmas to give it to me lol...The wife is getting a new engagement and wedding ring set and I will be asking her to renew the vows with me for our anniversary in January....The new rings are homage to the fact that she is just a little over one year out of surgery and has lost 256 pounds....Her old rings no longer fit and the original jeweler messed up the sizing so she is getting new. Much easier to keep it a surprise with an online credit account that I have been making payments through since July lol

    Well the wife did cry....Thankfully she agreed to go to the alter with me once again in January....Now she is planning the old shindig...Can't say enough good things about my lady...She put up with me during those early years when I was nothing more than a piece of fecal matter floating in the great toilet of life. Now it's time to repay her for those years.

    I got some cash and a couple gift cards - I was expecting a $3.00 hoodie from the clearance rack - so it was a pleasantly surprising Christmas.
