  1. I'm usually in the Syracuse area for BF, so someone else will have to give you the Buffalo strategies. The biggest mall in Buffalo is the Walden Galleria, so I'm sure that's the place to be on BF. I don't like the Galleria for BF, though, because Circuit City moved out and CompUSA isn't there. Radio Shack and Best Buy are in the mall, though. Your best bet might be to head north to the Niagara Falls Blvd area where the various electronics stores are scattered.

     

    If Prime Outlets is having a midnight sale, you might want to check on the Niagara Falls Prime Outlets.

  2. Countdown banners probably won't happen this year. They have to be dynamically generated every time they are viewed, and with so many people on the forum this year, it's just not possible without potentially putting the servers at risk as things get busier. Sorry.

    Since I'm a poor man with no real php skills, here's the solution I thought up for myself . . . maybe this could work:

    Go to the bother of creating x number of graphics that are identical, except for the number of days remaining. Then just run a cron job at midnight every day that will copy the next graphic over. Taa daa! Sure, it'd be plenty of work to make all those graphics, but so is coding the php :)

  3. Don't forget the holiday postmarks, too. You can send all your Christmas mail in a large envelope to post offices in participating towns. They'll open your envelope and postmark all your (stamped) mail there.

     

    You might want to check around in early December for participating post offices this year as well as specific instructions on how to get your cards postmarked.

     

    Previously, you could get postmarks from:

    • North Pole, AK & NY
    • Christmas, MI
    • Snowflake, AZ
    • Bethlehem, PA (and other states)
    • Santa, ID
    • Santa Claus, IN
    • Evergreen, AL (and other states)
    • Shepherd, MI (and other states)
    • Snow, OK
    • Snow Shoe, PA
    • Chestnut, IL
    • Joy, IL
    • Surprise, NY
    • Partridge, KS & KY

    I didn't see any recent articles on USPS's site, but here are a couple from 2001 and 2002.

  4. People my say they wouldnt sue but they would.

    Well, they wouldn't sue, probably, but their health insurance company would sue your home insurance company, and your rates probably wouldn't decrease as a result. So you've still got a reason to keep them away ;)

     

     

    As for broken bones, one of my cousin's sons fell out of a chair (in the sitting position) and broke his collarbone.
