I don't like to put up my tree too early, as that just means there's more of an opportunity for that daft cat of ours to destroy the thing.
I guess your cat can hardly wait when your Xmas tree is up and fully decorated :sherlock:

Huh, I've never given that any thought, but you're right, they'd do that. I never had any cats or dogs while growing up (mother's allergic) and I haven't had a Christmas tree as an adult (wife's Jewish, didn't have the space either until this last year).

A little Yuletide twig would probably be plenty to spread the scent, 'cause that's what you made me long for now. But where to get one… :left: :right:

Yep! And it will be fully decorated for about 5 minutes.

The first time he walks in the room when it is up, I swear his eyes light up and you can here his brain saying "Ooh! shiny things"  :eyes:

No woods or forests nearby?
The start and end to every story is the same. But what comes in between you have yourself to blame.

I hope your wife doesn't get fussy if you buy a Yuletide twig that costs more than $20 :D

Not exactly. If everyone in the city cut off a little twig in a nearby agglomeration of trees you quickly wouldn't have any trees left. It's not like I can just go out into my garden and cut off some laurel or pick some evergreen branches off the ground that were broken off by the latest fall storm. (Okay, that last one could actually be an option, but it would take a lot more predetermination and a lot less certainty.) My wife prefers life in the city; I'm somewhat undecided although I certainly appreciate being able to pop over by the spice store and things like that. Where I grew up there aren't enough people to support such a thing, so you're mostly stuck with whatever the big grocery store chains offer.

She would and so would I, lol. Unless you mean something more like a puny Christmas tree.

That would be a bit of a problem I guess.
Luckily it's not a problem where I live as there are thousands of acres of forest nearby. Just don't let them catch you when you help yourself to one.  ;)

:lol: That color-ink for my printer will cost me $30. I much rather spend that extra money on Xmas gifts. ;)

Have you noticed how it always seems to run out just as you really need it, or is that just me?  :whistle:

Yup. It's like, the printer does that on purpose. I still have black ink left, but it won't print and kept saying that it ran out of color-ink :whistle:

That is really annoying. I can see the sense in it if it's a multicoloured cartridge, but for individual tanks it's ridiculous.

Ooh!! I see Luxor got a Xmas gift for me as well! I can hardly wait to open it.  :D

Yeah, gave it to a fat guy in a red suit to pass on to you.  :P

Oh darn it, the last time I heard that fat guy in red suit with long white beard fell asleep at the pub :drunk:

Merry Christmas, Luxor!  And Merry Christmas to Frenzie, and anyone else here on this forum :)

You're not going to stay up 'till midnight on New Year's Eve.
I'll be in my bed well before midnight, probably will still be awake but in my bed no less.
Big day tomorrow with the usual houseful, so have to be prepared for that.  :)

I dunno, wouldn't it be kind of pointless to go to sleep only to be woken up by the fireworks soon after? (Not to mention the occasional too early blast.)

If I go to sleep a herd of Elephants could come rampaging through my room and I would probably never hear them, so doubt a few fireworks going off would waken me.  ;)

Never saw them live unfortunately.

Me neither. Australian Pink Floyd came to my city twice but I didn't go to their concert. It's not the same, they're not the original Pink Floyd that I grew up listening to.

My wife has been to see them a couple of times, most recently last November. A couple of my friends and her think they are great and all go together.

I just don't see the point of paying to watch any tribute act, especially at the price that she paid for the tickets. I would want to see the real Pink Floyd for what it cost. I think she is bonkers but it's her money.  :rolleyes:

I'll stick to listening to the real Pink Floyd on my hi-fi.  :up:
