vixmom · « **Reply #156 on:** December 13, 2015, 08:51:17 PM »

Everything there is $5 or less

vixmom · « **Reply #157 on:** December 13, 2015, 08:51:37 PM »

Some as inexpensive as $1

Dan M · « **Reply #158 on:** December 13, 2015, 08:58:36 PM »

I didn't realize you were doing a party for the soup kitchen. Can I help?

We filled two shopping carts with games, crayons, coloring books, play dough and when it all totaled up we had spent $233.....so I will pop up to the dollar store at some point to pick up candy canes for everybody... They have been selling boxes of 12 for $1. So $20 will buy me 240 candy canes

Jane did you want to send me a PM?

No, thanks. I've hinted but you are the only one who asked. Hopefully there will be some phoes in a couple of days.

One walker, one wheelchair, and two power scooters does not leave a lot of room for Nicky and me.

You have quite a fleet of vehicles.

I may have to register my apartment as a parking garage.

The Vixter brought everything to church and stored it in the social ministry closet

Hello! The 6 performances of the Fiddler show are done - and it really was fun. It's a good show, although I haven't seen it because the orchestra is up in a loft over stage left of the stage. Two days off and then it's back for the final 6

That's something else. I've gotten so used to the weather out here. It was around 55 or so on Saturday and I felt really cold. 55 back East would be a warm fall/winter day.

Hello everyone. I am very E & T. I know I've been in a rut of worry. On top of that, I battled a flu even with the shot, and the computer woes, which happen every few days. Even though I try not to worry, I still do. This Wednesday I'm scheduled to have a check-up with my oncologist. I'll try to sleep Tuesday night, but my mind will keep going.

Welcome back, Dan M! And...

~~~Check-Up Vibes~~~

I remember when I was a kid and we'd all go to the live tree seller, trying to find the "perfect" tree. After we got it inside, every year we'd try different things to extend its freshness. One year it would be aspirin in the water, another year it was sugar. The first year I had my dog, she tried to drink the water, but I guess it didn't taste too good, so she never did that again. But she did like to sit under the Christmas tree and sleep.
