    What's your favorite Christmas song?

    in 2022

    Posted

    Anything Elvis had on his christmas records. My mom and I listened the heck out of those together and great memories are locked in every one.

    Individual songs? Silver Bells.... My mom sang that a ton when I was a kid. I still can hear her singing it... :(
     

    I used to be into Dr Demento and Weird Al and Bob Rivers pretty heavily when I was younger, and any novelty christmas stuff, but that seems to have faded a bit in preference for more classical stuff and stuff I remember when I was much younger...

    Answer 3 Questions & Win GottaDEAL Hoodies [Winners Posted]

    1) Best ad? I think that is an odd way to think of it. Each ad may have a thing or two that make me want to hop on their site/go to their store. I tend to like walmarts bluray/dvd selections. Old Navy's clothes. Best Buy for the electronics, etc.

    2) I haven't really avoided the shops the last couple of years. I definitely spread my visits out over the month. Especially in 2020 when things were hot and heavy with the COVID. But I will absolutely be in stores this year. (Supplemented by online stuff too!)

    3) The thing where black friday has lost its way is the singular nature of that day being the only one. Now that its starting in the middle of October, and lasts up to the week before christmas, it's watered down and feels much less like it did.

     

    Thanks for the chance to blather on! :)

    Festive Menus Throughout the Holidays

    in 2022

    Posted

    I started thinking about this last night.
    I am sure that there is a best time to start stocking up on ingredients for making cookies, pies and other holiday meals.

    I've seen the list, for instance, on the crazy coupon ladies site that shows when to buy what through the year.
    But that puts holiday stuff in the Nov/Dec timeframe and that seems late to me...

    Am I nuts?

    (there are a few facebook groups where some folks have been building up their Christmas cookie collections since june. :) )

    I don't see how they will be able to gather that many people together.

     

    I think we better think about the holidays now rather than later as I am not anticipating a robust year...

    (purely a hunch, not based on anything other than seeing how hard it is to get _anything_ where I work at the moment... It's hit and miss, more misses than hits though...)

    What are your predictions for Black Friday 2020?

    in 2020

    My husband works in an all electronic warehouse and the stuff is not coming in like it was. They are lucky of they are getting half the supply they were when this all first started. They had to laid off some staff and cut back hours because the work is not there. I has been like this for the past month and with no end in sight. 

    This is totally my concern. The place where all this stuff gets made and shipped from, got whalloped with this illness just like we did (and even now they are experiencing a new surge of it...) The supply chain is broken down and I don't know if they have time to recover for the holidays... I work at a hobby shop, and our suppliers and distributors are having problems getting product.

    Best tablet or laptop for someone that draws

    Yep! Manga studio, or clip studio (same program, slightly different features) work great with tablets.

     

    I'd suggest Krita.org as it's free and as good as painter/clip studio.

     

    Might as well download the following as well;

     

    Gimp.org

    Inkscape.org

    Scribus.org

     

    As well. They can put out their own books for free except hardware. :)

    Thanksgiving, What Are You Thankful For?

    in 2014

    Posted

    I am thankful that my mother survived a massive stroke a week ago yesterday, and that her recovery seems to be doing extremely well thanks to the doctors who are caring for her. I am also thankful that my sisters, and the rest of our family, are behaving admirably under the circumstances. Our family has been fractured over the last few years, and this set of circumstances have seemed to brought us back together. Happy Holidays everyone, hug and kiss your whole family, they are precious people.
