Be glad you don't have one 10 minutes from work. I go several times a month. Hard to leave without something...although, I've done it a time or two.

Yeah, but any time I "need" any sort of gear, I'm faced with a dichotomy - should I go to one of the nearer stores and pay more to end up getting not exactly what I want or drive an hour minimum each way to likely pay less and get exactly what I want. If it were close, I could just stop off and spend my paycheck there, but at least I'd have the gear I wanted.

A couple months ago, my wife asked it I cared if she bought tickets for the "Nutcracker Ballet" to take our girls. I said no...go for it. Well....MUCH to my surprise.....this meant that she was buying tickets for me and my mother too. FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS later....I just returned home from watching a bunch of men in tights jump around in silly costumes while showing off their "package"! :shock:

DON'T get me wrong....I LOVE the ARTS, and even theater...but I don't get ballet! NOT at all. I yawned through most of it.

Let me address these one at a time...

Popeye, I just wanted to say that the picture of that blond girl in your signature puts me on tilt...

I'm not sure if that is a good thing, a bad thing or if I need to hire a lawyer to defend myself against a possible lawsuit... Ahab???

I totally want to know where that's from

I got it from an animated email joke I got from a buddy

and why she's making those faces,

The joke was one about 3 women looking to be an FBI agent and were shown a picture of a suspect with no ears.

“What is one thing you notice about him?” The interviewer asked,

“Well dang! He has no ears!” Replied the first candidate, and was kicked out of the room.

The second candidate comes in, and is asked, “This job requires you to notice a lot of details. What is something you notice about him?”

She says, “That’s easy, he has no ears!”

And she gets kicked out

So the third candidate goes in and gets the same question, “This job requires you to notice a lot of details. What do you notice?”

The Blonde says, “He’s wearing contacts.”

And the Interviewer is impressed and asks, “Yeah, how did you know?”

So she replies, “Well darn, he can’t wear glasses because he ain’t got no ears.”

And then that picture was there…

but then I realize I will never know and knowing wouldn't improve my life or make me feel better about knowing it.

I'm hoping you have that positive point of view of acceptance towards the rest of life... Or is that a defeatist attitude?

While I am no expert in the fine arts, I'm not sure looking at the packages under the tree is what that ballet is about. Sounds like there is an underlying issue in there somewhere.

As far as the BPS thing goes, How about this Dilemma, I live 15 minutes from BPS going SW and 15 minutes from Gander Mountain going NW. 20 minutes from store to store and Gander price matches BPS prices on like items. Oh, and keeping with your other issue, when going to Gander Mountain from my house, I drive past a Dicks.

Popeye - my advice to you (at no charge BTW) is to keep your package to yourself.

After that the boss takes us guys that are off shift to breakfast, We went to Emily's Pancake house and I had the Barcelona omelet, which is 4 eggs with Chorizo sausage, Jalapenos, onions and cheddar cheese. Yummy going down, I'll pay for it later today though. Also today they announced who the 2010 Technician of the Year was... ME! I like Monday's.

I live about the same distance from a BPS and about 5 minutes further there is a Gander Mountain which is accross the street from Dick's Sporting Goods. BPS is my favorite though and it is REALLY hard to leave without buying something...especially if I don't take the wife with me. :lol:

The Starcraft down the road is driving me crazy....I think I can get it cheap if I can bug him about it a couple more times. :lol:

I have a problem the other way....if I don't have the wife with me, I'll show more restraint, if she's there, she's pushing the shopping cart so she knows exactly what's going into it so there's no surprise when we get to the register and it's another $300 fishing/boating expense.

I am passing this on to you because it definitely works, and we could all use a little more calmness in our lives. By following simple advice heard on the Dr. Phil show, you too can find inner peace. Dr Phil proclaimed, "The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started and have never finished."

So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished, and before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a bottle of Jack Daniels, a bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream, a package of Oreos, the remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake, some Doritos, and a box of chocolates, and a half bottle of scotch.

You have no idea how freaking good I feel right now.
Pass this on to those whom you think might be in need of inner peace.

I almost bought my wife a humidifier as a Christmas gift...would that be an acceptable gift to any one?
