  1. Ok guys I am typing this out on my acer 10.1 mini. I love it. My 7 y/o son has used it many times without problems. I have had it since May. I have dropped it, my son has dropped it, and the cats have knocked it to the floor both openned and closed and it is still going. I have several middle school students that have this same model, some close to a year! So don't knock a mini, don't get a junkie brand or try to deal with places like dell. Try to get one off someplace like walmart.com and read the reviews!
  2. I went to Lego club meeting and I was given next months calendar.

     

    It says Nov. 27: win up to a $500 shopping spree.

     

    Shop in the lego store on November 27 only and you'll recieve a special surprise savings card to reveal a 10%, 20% or 50% discount, or you could win a $10, $100 or $500 Lego gift card!

  3. Last year was the first year I went with my mom and I was as worried for her like a mom worrying for her kid. Will she get stomped on, picked on, be able to grab stuff fst enough? My Mom is only 52 so I should think she could hold her own but this was her first time. She did fine but like always she pick up all these little extra things.

     

    What I thought was great was we planned it out together and put money on gift cards so we did have to bring cash or our purses. I usually carry my debit card only but the gift card kept us on budget.

     

    Can"t wait for this year!

  4. Well the pagan question depends on whether you are speaking of wiccans or other non- judo christians. Wiccan or druids had the orginal chistmas tree, plus there is yule which falls like dec . 21.

    There is the biggest reason for Happy holidays:

    Growing up Jewish people with other religions often told me more about their religion because I would not judge. So as you can see there are a lot of holidays in these two months.

  5. I am jewish as well and spend on black friday. I teach middle school and my students and other staff says merry christmas and I really don't care. I don't attend the christmas party but I don't mind small christmas gifts I recieve. I give students themed or holiday colored pencils. Happy Holidays is easy because 'Happy thanksgiving, merry christmas, happy hanuka, happy kwauza (sp?), happy festivitus, merry yule, joyus winter solitutus" is way too darn long to put on a poster.
  6. A AD HECK YES! I know the owner of half priced books. My parents bought college text books there when they started. The owner is the store santa you get pictures with at the main Dallas location (northwest hwy by medallion center) He is a wonderful man and his wife is lovely.
  7. Another No-No for me is any car track with more than 2 pcs.... I wish they made race tracks that "fold" and stay together....

    They do they are called matchbox 360 or something like it. My seven old would not have any tracks otherwise.

  8. I tell my husband it is the same as hunting, it is a rush........

    Yes, we are giant rush junkies!

     

    Like hunting we dress up in layer to sit and watch the open (market) range with our weapons (this website, gift cards, and saved up funds).

     

    We tell great hunting tails to friends and as crazy as it sounds we have friends and family that want to come along.

     

    It is the money we save is our skill and all the stuff we get is our kill.

     

    Like hunting some people just don't get it.:tongue1:

  9. I have been with my dh almost 8 years married our anniversary is in Nov., his birthday is in Nov, and then christmas. I have no idea what so ever as to what to give him.

     

    He is 27 and a avid online video gamer (not warcraft- final fanasty), his computer is very upgrade (what I have got him last two bdays), he has a huge computer monitor flat screen, he doesn't care about clothes, tv or sports.

     

    The only thing I can think of is a refillable cup for starbuck (he works next door) and a gift card. He is not a coffee lover, he drinks their green tea.

     

    He says I don't know every time I ask him he wants something, i don't know if that is just a guy thing or is he really that spoiled? Ideas would be appreciated.
