Creative makes great MP3 players. I own 2 of them, myself. Check these out: Creative Zen Nano 1GB Creative Zen Nano Plus 1GB Both come is a whole selection of colors.

Only when it's on-line. It's a lot better to have someone with you, even just to have company while you wait in lines and traffic.

I like to have snow by Thanksgiving, because I ski and hunt, so it's a bonus for both!

If it doesn't need to be brand new, check out Craigslist in the electronics listings. Just choose a city local to you and search the listings. You can also post wanted items on there, if you don't find what you are looking for.

Sunshine Friday. I'll be wearing jeans my GottaDeal shirt...to work. It's "Casual for United Way Day" for us.

I have in the past, but I've almost completely stopped selling on Ebay, because unless you can make at least 20% more than you paid, it's no longer worth the time and fees.

Staples has the best way of getting them done efficiently for the customer, so if they have a rebate, I'm confident in them. The only thing I don't like about them is when I forget to send them in.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra

You are correct. I got them out on Tues or Wednesday, so you would get them this week.

He's right, don't spend a boat load on the helmet. The Giro Eclipse is what I currently use. It's comfortable and cools my head off well when I'm moving.

Those are good gloves, BTW. Yes, I've ordered a bike pump, helmet, and seat from them. They are an excellent shop. You can ask moose about them, too, since I think he ordered most of the bike he's building from them.

I got a Coby DVD player last year for $19 and it has served it's purpose well. It's connected to the little 19" TV in our bedroom, and has not had a problem.

The Salvation Army puts out a bunch of names of kids who are in situations where their parent's wouldn't be able to afford gift for them. Our bank puts all their names on a tree, and I always "adopt" a kid every year. Usually I get them a toy and some new clothes.

http://www.t-shirtwholesaler.com/main_list.asp?pg=list&ct=6&sc=72&uid=17216945538639.2205902778-w Try this place out. Looks like you can get them for about $1.77 per shirt.

I never would have thought it! From up here, TX is thought of as a perennial summer.

Cold in the Dallas, TX area? Really?

Do you remember what you paid for them last year?

I also have the Moto HS820, but unlike RossMAN, I actually use mine. It works very well. The nice thing is that my car charger for my Motorola phone also charges the BT headset, so I don't have to carry multiple chargers with me. The only thing I don't like is that the earpiece has gotten kind of loose, so the headset sometimes moves around on my ear. I'm sure I can tighten it, I just haven't tried, yet.

Expect nothing less than free. They've been out long enough that on BF, I'm sure there will be a 50-pack FAR at Circuit City and Best Buy, if not other places.

Amazon estimated Dec 12th for shipment of this. Anyone know if that's accurate?

Usually I try to get it wrapped the day after. I mail some of the gifts that I get, so I want to get them out before the Christmas postal rush and so they can sit under a tree for a while. :) I get all of my wrapping paper during the post-Christmas clearance sales, so it's all ready and waiting for me.

You should also check to see if you have a Music-Go-Round or a Music Recyclery in your area. You can get a much better used keyboard for that price range than anything new. Also, check out craiglslist.org. I know there are at least a couple of OH locations there.

Thanks. I was starting to lean in the direction of Legos, Knex, or something similar. He's 6 (7 in March) and he loves dinosaurs, Buzz Lightyear, and The Incredbles. We've already gotten him a remote controlled T-Rex and Buzz in the past. I'm thinking it's time for something that lets him be creative. :)
