You are 100% right. She is so much more of a woman than I. While I COMPLETELY understand her reasoning for allowing him to be at her death bed for her children, there is NO WAY I would want my POS cheating Ex any where NEAR my bedside. There is a special place in Heaven for her, and there is a special place in Hell for him.

Believe me, I have had those years and struggled through the depression. This year sucks financially to be quite honest. My kids will not get anything but an IOU from me this year. I have already let them know that. After the first of the year, when taxes come back, I will take them each shopping and give them a limit. They can spend it on what they want. I was stressing about it, but decided that does no good. I decided to look at my blessings instead. 1. My kids are with me every day and are healthy. 2. We struggle, but others always have it worse than we do. 3

I think for Christmas I am going to go with Red. and I have 262 unread notifications.

On a brighter note..... someone is buying ME some jammies this year. :yahoo: I've been wanting some for a long time, and was told last night that I WILL be receiving some very soon. Life is so good, stress and all.

I am with others. People are getting desperate and it's always worse during the Holidays. People suck sometimes.

Peanut butter with chocolate chips. Just saying!

Good deal. Can't wait to see them. The ones you have posted are great!

You got a few of my daughter with the AFJROTC of EPHS. And I was in the background in my elf costume taking her pic too. I don't see any of the pcom float though.

Stress! I get stress every year for Christmas! *sigh* I so wish Christmas came AFTER the tax man comes. Just think how much more money would be spent during the Holidays. Retail sales would soar.

Thank you dahhhling! You are the best. And thank you LPPT for posting yours on FB.

Ummmm.....MillCreek, it is morning now, and still no pics. I am waiting, but not so patiently. Those of you who have your pictures posted on here but not FB, HURRY UP ALREADY!! I didn't get any on my camera.

So what's taking so long? It was great talking to you out there today.

We bought some last week to roast and make smores with while we were at the cabin. Also bought HUGE regular ones and fruity flavored ones, and toasted coconut marshmallows and mini ones. If anyone needs some marshmallows, my pantry is full of them. I think the kids liked the gingerbread ones too. Or as my 3 yo nephew calls them "engineman" ones.

I am the Elf on the right side beside Solo and she is standing beside C. Mark Willix. Now I have to go back and look at the picture and see where everyone else is. The Elf on the left is my daughter's best friend, and next to her is jlh010101 Some of the others on there I only know their names IRL, so I won't post who they are. Everyone knows who LPPT is I am sure. The lady in the white hat and shaw is Southern Scarlett, and the one in the blue dress is Couch Recycling.

And ELVES! Don't forget us elves!

It was great! I had such a fun time tossing candy for pcom. I met some new pcommers too. I always love that.

I am looking forward to it. It will be so much warmer than last year, so that will make much more pleasant. Southernscarlett, it was great seeing you and everyone else, and it was my pleasure to bring the treats. Glad everyone enjoyed them. See you a later today.

People get there very early to get a spot. If you have little ones who want to get candy, don't go down as far as the courthouse. A lot of the paraders run out of candy before they get to the end.

I saw it last night while we decorated the float. It looks great! I was impressed. :clapping:

I thought you would like them. They got cold quick though. I should have sent some home with you to warm up and share with Jimmy.

When I left you tonight, I came straight home, changed my clothes and climbed into my heated bed to thaw out. Man, my feet and hands were cold. So glad Mother Nature is going to give us 60 degree weather tomorrow before dropping it down to the 40s the rest of the week. See you tomorrow. BTW.... my daughter is marching with the EPHS AFJROTC and I think they will be ahead of us. I want to get somewhere in the beginning to see them start and snap some pics and then I will run back to you all to start passing candy. I will see you tomorrow. Oh, and I think I have another candy thro

ice cream - chocolate almond, chocolate trinity and Peanut Buster Parfaits. Hot Brownies and hot chocolate chip cookies La Parilla steak burritos and jalapeno cheese dip Hot chocolate

Cpl. Brandon Gurley - Great post, as usual. :clapping:

I, for one, get much more upset when I know my tax money is going to pay for food stamps and unemployment to people who do not qualify but are committing fraud to get them. They bring in more money than I do, but I get up every day and take my butt to work and pay my taxes. Why is it that others can sit on their butts at home, while driving around in nice new cars, only claim a part of the income brought into a household because the other party hides his income and doesn't pay any taxes on it at all, pretends to be searching for a job while having no intentions of getting one, and WE pay

I guess so! I PCSO, and I have NO problems with this whatsoever. To me, it's no different than someone who has a company paid vehicle and does the same thing. Heck, they can go grocery shopping or take their kids to the ball field in them for all I care. This is one thing I don't mind my tax money going to.
