When I get a chance I'll PM you with whatever instructions my new saw provides. Right now I'm staying the night near Asheville, NC. Lots warmer here than Chicago area!

Forgot about the weather station...

NO. I got a lump of coal. I didn't receive anything in the stocking.

pffft.

I don't know. I didn't the "Coal Replacement."

I'd treal coal as a useful survival item...hard to get started, but MAN! Nothing like a dead dinosaur to keep you warm

Hey newguy Bill, welcome to the fire!

Uh, plastic dog poop?

-Blast

Think of the plastic dog poop as a feline deterrent and you'll be on the right track

Well, without going into embarassing details let's just say the word "poop" has become our code for "I love you"
So by giving me the dog poop shaped chew toy she managed to confuse and horrify my mon and sister in law, totally crack up me, my brother, 2 nieces and nephew (cause we all know little kids and grown men find the word "poop" funny) and tell me that she loves me.
The look on her face when I opened the wrapper was priceless, I will cherish that memory forever.
Of all my gifts, the poop was the most useless......and my favorite
