I passed the exam to interpret at court. Hooray for illegal immigrants! Your follies will keep me employed.

As for my tree, for the longest time my family had a big silver-trimmed tinsel star with lights on it. It was what I remember most from my childhood Christmases. We have an angel with a pink dress now, a blonde, and it just doesn't feel right. Maybe I'll go to the after-Christmas sales and try to get some decent things for next year's tree.

Boy, here's a hint for you: Don't enter "Latina angels" into Google's image search to try and find ideas Smiley: eek

Though that WOULD make for one interesting Christmas tree...

Fandom fun this evening:

So my dad calls me on the phone and says "Is Brian going to Afganistan???"

I'm like, well, duh, where have you been the last three months.

Then he says, "I was listening to NPR and Rumsfeld said they are reducing troops there starting this spring, it will go down 15-20%."

And? I heard as much on CNN this morning.

"He said some units who were slated to go in early 2006 are no longer going, and he specifically named the 3rd Brigade Combat Team of the 10th Mountain Division. Isn't that Brian's unit?"

Why yes, yes it is. No way. You are joking right?

I get onto NPR's website and search for a relevant news story and got nothing. I listened to as much of All Things Considered as I could, even though none of that looked relevant what so ever. I kept laughing, really, really hard. Why? Because we have sold all of our furniture. We have sold our washer and dryer. I have movers showing up Thursday morning. I am registered for school down there, not up here. A long list of things, really, making me laugh for lack of any other option.

I finally got the bright idea to look at the Fort Drum press releases. The 4th Brigade Combat Team, which was originally slated to go with the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, has had its deployment cancelled. There seems to be no change to 3rd Brigade. My dad swears that is what he heard. I still can't find a darn thing about the announcement.




Damn kiddo that sux! That is a **** tease if I ever saw one. Early in 2006? Well, at least you'll have the holidays together.

My wife picked up a little angle at the dollar store some years ago when we had a much smaller tree. Now thankfully she doesn't fit between the top of the tree and the ceiling anymore. Giant fake trees FTW!

So Exo, is now the time to tell you that I bought a Dell laptop last March, and it was messing up by August?

In the past week, I have talked to tech support 7 times, reinstalled Windows, had a service guy replace my fan and casing with touchpad, and now at least need new USB ports and possibly a new motherboard? We shall see when Dell service guy # 2 shows up. I am just short of demanding a new PC.

Congrats on your exam!

I think the best angel we ever had was made of stiffened fabric. My mom has always crocheted and used a mix of regular school glue and water to soak her work in, after it dries it's really stiff (there are certain types of thread crochet that should stand up in peaks). Anyway, I had some brocade fabric that I did like this and then folded into a cone to let dry. The wings were from a fabric butterfly I tore apart and spray painted white. The head was a golf ball I wrapped with cloth and painted a face on. I scalped a curly haired doll I found at a discount store for her hair. Unfortunately it didn't outlast our humid summer and collapsed. But it was a lot prettier than I thought it would be while it lasted.

When we first moved to Dallas we didn't really have a Christmas tree. We had one of those table top ones that hubbys mom gave us the first year. We couldn't find any lights that would fit, so we got the regular tree lights and wrap that tree like 20 times. Needless to say, it was a VERY bright tree! Good times.

We just decorated the house, huge front because it has two stories. It looks very sad with like 5 feet of garland on the porch, a strand of lights, and two of those red ribons. Oh, and fake candles in the upper windows.

We just moved in, so everything is who knows where... can't find my as[/i]s with both hands.

I'll never buy another Dell. Their much-vaunted customer service sucks.

Their customer service seems okay I suppose, and I do like that they will come to you anywhere in the U.S. to fix your computer, instead of having to ship the thing off somewhere. It seems, however, that they are getting frustrated with -me-, which is annoying. I have to pull teeth to get them to come look at my pc.

Heh, on Monday the service guy said "software problem, reinstall windows" so I did. My USB ports still didn't work, so I contacted Dell again. They tell me to reinstall windows. I say forget it! I already did that four hours ago! The guy they are sending is just going to look at the pc...I want him to show up with parts, darn it. I have to be able to print before school starts up again.

24 hour turn around that I supposedly have? Hah. I first contacted them with my issues a week ago, and the problem is still there. I probably won't see service guy #2 until after Christmas.

What's on top of your tree
An angel. It's kind of a folk art thingy. Wood head and base. Linen dress, woven vine wings and halo.

Well thanks for the link but it only deepens my intrinsic disgust of the egg spooge-gunk known as eggnog. I can't even pass the milk cases at the store without gagging this time of year. Grog + egg + noggin ( gag x 2) = spooge-gunk a.k.a. eggnog
