Same. Ours is $600 that we shouldn't even have to pay. I'm pretty sure we've paid more this year on the MINI than it's actually worth. - Anika

Us too. The monthly expense is verging on a car payment, not that we can afford to do that either. HoHoHo - Shannon - GlassMistress

Are you sure we don't have the same mom? - Alix May

Tell her you'll write them down for next year - Steve C, Team Marina

my mom wants a kindle for Christmas, we're lucky - chiaratiz™

She wants a reader and honestly I don't think I have the stamina to teach another electronic device cross country. Besides. I've purchased most of her gifts .. there isn't another $100 to spend :-( - Shannon - GlassMistress

Can't wait to give my mum hers for her birthday in February :-) - Heleninstitches #teamff

Heh. He chose one turtle AND the frog. :-) - Shannon - GlassMistress

Love it Jenica - and I thank you (so does my truck - straight to the tire fund) :-) - Shannon - GlassMistress

I've made it in the oven - it turns out very well that way. - Katy S

PS needs to be something I can get fairly easily - grocery or liquor store. - Shannon - GlassMistress

Hmm. One for Amanda :-) but,for me, a Riesling Kabinett would be fine. - Pete's Got To Go

We like living sans-cable and highly recommend it. - SAM

It's customer service like that that makes it nice to cut the cord. As long as you have good internet, you can get a lot of your TV from Hulu, Amazon, Netflix, YouTube and various network sites. - Spidra Webster

agree with the cord-cutting ... as long as you don't need to watch anything on espn. if you like espn, you're hosed without cable. as for me, giving up football coincided nicely with giving up cable. ymmv. - Stephan!e•CogSc!L!brar!an

This service was to improve our internet, and upgrade both the modem and the dvr... with no dollar increase to our bill. I'm not sure we'd actually see in improvement but I figured that for the same price going with the latest equipment made sense. - Shannon - GlassMistress

I'm sorry, Shannon. :( - Jenny H.

Ugh. I'm sorry, Shannon. :-( - vicster.

I'm thinking I might make another this weekend, just to amuse myself :-) - Shannon - GlassMistress

Angler fish! - Jenny H.

The details are wonderful! - WoH: Professor MOTHRA

That's lovely. :) - Jenica

roll with it, doll. expectations of what you "should" do or what "should be" can get you tied up in knots. - MoTO Boychick Devil

Yeah, I know. And it's not a big deal since I see my dad every day, but it's weird to feel unwelcome for Christmas. - Shannon - GlassMistress

اینی که میگی همونه که میگن توی غرب بنیان خانواده ها از هم پاشیده :دی - ووووزلا

... on his foot when a young Viszla appeared out of no where. Dunc did not take it well and snarled and lunged and the young fellow retreated to the yard as his owner stopped his bike in the driveway and called him. Packer - the Viszla - tried to make friendly with Dunc again and again Dunc acted like a jerk. I suspect his attitude was a combination of me being on the ground and 'needing protection', the surprise appearance of the dog and the stress of having his nails clipped ... or maybe he just wasn't in the mood, who knows. Either way Packer's owner delivered a few choice phrases about me needing to socialize Dunc better (which IS true) and that I'd better keep hold of his leash. - Shannon - GlassMistress

Hate it when people try to lecture me. I'm a grown woman, I got this. Shut up. - Starmama

Good luck! - Anika

Ah well. I don't think it will go. The nights my contract is for wont work for most of the girls. I can't say I didn't try, so I'm not unhappy. - Shannon - GlassMistress

as in 'our little sprogget'. It wasn't a word I'd heard of so I did a quick online search expecting it to come back as an endearment for child. I also expected it to belong to a particular nationality or region and not be terribly widespread in its use. The first hit was from webanswers.com and the person looking for the meaning of the word said that it had become a nickname for her grandson even before he was born and she wondered what it meant. The very first reply was that the parents must have been watching the Jetson's ... you know Spacely Sproggits .........I had to stop looking - Shannon - GlassMistress

*facepalm* - LB ❤s FF, esp. YOU

...stuck his head in the window and listened for a moment and then began dancing in the driveway like an ape hopped up on Red Bull. I laughed ... oh how I needed that laugh! Thanks honey! - Shannon - GlassMistress

I don't think so. - John (bird whisperer)

of course I have! I love chestnuts (roasted, not boiled) - chiaratiz™

Soccer ball. - Kristin

Playdough. Finger paint/drawing paper/markers. Doctor costume. Board games/puzzles. - Jaclyn aka spamgirl

..make me happy? You'd be wrong. - Shannon - GlassMistress

arrgh - Steve C, Team Marina

Now if they'd just put the mailbox down to a height somewhat shorter than me that'd be great. - Shannon - GlassMistress

Gnarly Head is yummy! Believe it or not, they have a Gnarlier Head as well. :D - Hookuh Tinypants

This is the Authentic Black ... Half gnarlier? - Shannon - GlassMistress

Just think of it as lose jam. - Eric - Final Countdown
