At least I got a gift card for Hazard Fraught. They just opened up a new one near me and I've had my eye on that laser-guided paint brush for some time.
I should be so lucky. I have been down with an intestinal infection since last Friday. Spent Christmas Eve/Day in bed. Just started to get back up and around yesterday. To top it off, doctor told me it can come back over the next several months!!!!
... I have been down with an intestinal infection since last Friday. ...
Sorry to hear that. Hope you're feeling better soon. There are so many things that seem to go wrong this time of year - the weather, flu season, overly-stressed people on a rampage in the shopping centers, the obligatory visits to/from tiresome relatives - my wife forbids me to hum holiday tunes at home under the sneering suspicion she feels I'm doing it as an expression of my deep-seated sense of irony and sarcasm.
@NWCCTV: How do you get an intestinal infection? Was it something you ate...rotten shellfish perhaps? Anyway, it sounds lousy.
A bout of colitis when I was 19 resulted in a 15-lb weight loss in four days. All I remember of it were the crazy dreams caused by potassium levels that were too low. Tetracycline and potassium supplement - when I finally got competent medical help - made me a new man in less than an hour.
Anyone care to imagine the hissy fit this would cause if it were to be done today? Can you say stretch in Levenworth?
Oh, the impropriety of it all, millions offended...........

Thanks for posting that picture. I'm laughing so hard I can barely type. Did you buy that somewhere or did you add the led string to the statue?

That's the worst part. They are not sure what caused it. I lead a pretty normal and healthy lifestyle. I have not eaten anything out of the ordinary that others in the house have not also eaten. I was told though that it could be several months of antibiotics before I am "fixed". I wish I knew what caused it so I could warn others!!! I am down about 20 pounds myself. Not the way I want to diet!!!

Actually, it's not my pic. Like most of the images I use here, I embedded it here from the internet. I think it's just a serendipitous alignment of an LED strand with Old Saint Nick. Or at least I hope that's the case.

Nowadays they would read "Fifteen minutes could save you money on car insurance"....
