USMB Coffee Shop IV

October 24th and I just bought the second Christmas gift of the year. I ordered a bushel of navel oranges for my friend in Brooklyn and I just finished ordering one of those Cobra JumPacks for Mom. They are nifty little gadgets, just six inches by four inches by one inch. They hold enough electricity to jump start a car! They can also charge your phone, iPad or any other USB charged device. They have an LED flashlight and everything fits in the glove compartment.

Can you recharge the Cobra JumPack? That does look like a handy gadget for the one who has everything.

We are almost done with Christmas shopping. Just a few more gifts. Hombre wants to have our Son's family all wrapped, boxed, and sealed for them to take back with them when they come for Thanksgiving--that will save us probably $50 in shipping fees. I notice we are getting more and more cheap in our old age. :)
Sure! It comes with a regular plug in the wall charger.

Argh......I'm so jealous. I keep saying I'm going to start early, and here it's almost November and I haven't bought one single gift.....damn....where does the time go. Guess I'm going to end up buying a lot more gift cards....:D
Only 57 more shopping days 'til Christmas!
 
Hi guys! Just want to drop in and say howdy. I reached my desired weight range before my December deadline! I am currently 247lbs with 33 lbs lost since April. Now, I hope I make it to my 230's by January!

Hee hee.

See ya'll.


Way to go TK.

On Veteran's Day I go out to the Christmas tree farm and tag my tree. I get the pick of the litter that way. Two weeks before Christmas I go and have them saw it down, shake off the loose needles,bind it in twine and throw it in the trunk. Every year my buddy who runs the tree farm tells me that there were a lot of folks wanting the tree I picked out.

Early bird/worm dynamic in action! Of course a fresh cut tree means that ALL the needles will get vacuumed up by early May. Those little things must migrate under the furniture.

Congratulations, TK! Keep up the good work. You know you can do it.

If I am putting a tree up, the night before Christmas, I drag the box down from storage. I used to go out on snowshoes and search for the perfect victim but now, most years I don't even bother putting a tree up. No point unless the girls are here.

I married an insurance adjuster who worked too many Christmas fires caused by dried out and highly flammable Christmas trees to be happy with a live tree in the house. So we long ago went to lifelike artificial trees that we can leave up for all of December. A few years ago, because of physical limitations and just because, as you say, it wasn't worth it any more, we donated our very large, very heavy, very beautiful tree to charity and now have a small table top tree that we set up on a card table that is properly draped for Christmas of course. It usually goes up the weekend after Thanksgiving and comes down on New Year's Day. Our decorations are festive and simple--are put up with a minimum of time and effort and taken down and stored with a minimum of time and effort. That leaves us with a lot of time to do other fun stuff for the Christmas season. And it is good.

For myself, no tree required. I do prefer an artificial tree for many reasons. I certainly do not lack for a choice of fresh cut trees, having 200 acres of spruce available. My decorations are theme based. I have a large collection of kitty tree ornaments, and some carousel horse ornaments, too.

I've never had a Christmas tree myself, ever. I might get a wild hair this year and go buy me one of those artificial jobs. Course if the campfire cat decides she's going to climb it and/or knocks it over, then that's the end of that.
 
Hi guys! Just want to drop in and say howdy. I reached my desired weight range before my December deadline! I am currently 247lbs with 33 lbs lost since April. Now, I hope I make it to my 230's by January!

Congratulations, TK! Keep up the good work. You know you can do it.


Yanno, we should all chip in and get TK a reward for his hard work. I'm thinking a jumbo cheesecake swirl peanut butter and french fry double chocolate pork pizza ice cream float. Made with diet Coke.

C'mon, who's in. Ante up.

I don't know if I would do it just for me or not. The tree isn't all that important to me and dealing with the big one was sometimes a real pain and stressful. But it's fun to set up the little one and make it pretty. I would have to think about that.
