Christmas list

Here's mine.

Chain saw
Giant microbes http://www.giantmicrobes.com/us/main/giantmicrobes-originals/ particularly the brain cell, penicillin, and cholera but would not turn up my nose at any of them.


Yours?

Gee, whiz, seems like useless clutter to support the sweat shops in third world nations, exploiting child labor, but, hey, what do I know?????

Yah Hoss. Maybe I'm just not blonde enough for ya. Watch your mail for a box of anthrax. ;-P

Daddy, I'm tired. Where's my amoeba?

It's next to your stuffed toxic mold, sweet dreams my dear.

Fun stuff though.

Funny Thread...my 4 year old goes to bed with his "beeba" (Blanket), "bunny" and "Snakey"..it makes for a long evenign when its bedtime and we can't find the dawn animals in the house.

I'd completely forgotten about getting presents.

There's a manufacturer of Antarctic-quality outdoor gear holding a close-out sale, and I was thinking about outfitting my kids this year with parkas and boots. Upon reflection, I suspect that this would be as appreciated as socks at a 2-year-old's birthday party. (I gave these to my son then, and he looked at them briefly, tossed the package over his shoulder, and went on to the next present. Ingrate.)

Hmm. Must think.

ETA: may I have a beach in New Zealand?

extra 28" .050 gauge Full Chisel chain
pouch/holder for wedges & scrench
few more pair of corded earplugs
3M NIOSH dust masks w/ exhale valve
heavy winter weight wool blend socks
rain hood or whatever its called for back of hardhat
another blaze orange pullover hoodie
a good but not expensive Mandoline
nice chunk of Hungarian Pick Salami
Garlic stuffed Olives
a couple Toblerone or Lindt chocolate bars
small chunk 3yr aged Parmigiano Reggiano

I got socks the last 3-4 years and I was happier than a pig rolling in chit. Seems like either the dryer eats them or I wear threw them... go through a big pack in a year or so.

I like the microbes Kat....neat stuff, I have never seen them. Maybe you'll git a splitter too Kat since you have been such a good girl...

As for me, nothin on my list, I am suggesting a donation to my favorite charity.........that would make me very happy...

Having my new stove up and running, heating the house nicely, and not causing my son's allergies to go into hyperdrive.

Along Gamma's line, if anyone wants to sponser a kid this year, I can match you with one of mine that may need a coat, shoes, maybe even a litte fun present.

A chimney. Just... a chimney. Lined, please.

I like the giant microbes.

I'd like...
A pickeroon with a 60" handle so I can unload my truck from the ground.
A Fiskars X27
Enough money to restore the old Ford
A Woodstock Progress Hybrid
A 10 or so acre woodlot of Red Oak to myself
A new helmet/ear muff/face shield combo
There may be more, but it doesn't matter. I'm not getting anything from you guys.

Hay now .. you'll get atleast an "I wish I could"

I wanna splitter.

And a do over.

How far back?

5 years.

My wife has the e.coli. She was a lab tech before we had kids and now she homeschools the girls. Some of them are kinda cute!

That's all? I was thinking somewhere around 30!

Nope, that'd do it.

No it won't. But you can build new Christmas memories (which I hope include that lovely little donut baker) this year. And go on from there.

It's not how hard you can hit, it's how hard you can get hit, and get back up swinging.
