Nat's "The Christmas Song" and Josh Groban's "O Holy Night." Gives ya chills!

Thank you Karen.....sm
I told him today to think about how many young people not much older than him if any were over there in Iraq. I said that may make it make a little easier to realize that he is a few hours away from his girlfriend to think of what his life could be like. I know he is in love and all, but life goes on and wrapping yourself up in all this drama does not make things any easier. I told him that life is not going to end if he has to go to class and not talk to her in the middle of it or if he doesn't see her for two or three weeks at a time. In the scheme of life, these are not big things.
I hope all goes well with your boys too!
they may be carpenter ants and you need
professional help or at least heavy duty stuff - they actually eat wood. Better search internet and identify. If they are run of the mill ants I think boric acid in a line will keep them from crossing.
my dad had carpenter ants at his home...sm
To discern if they are carpenter ants - look for a sizeable dark/black ball attached to them.......that would tell you they are carpenter ants and the other poster is correct - THEY EAT WOOD in the foundations of buildings/houses, et cetera, and would need professional extermination. Other poster is correct on regular ants and boric acid.
Holy Cow! Thanks for posting.
OMG Cat that scares the Holy Cr*p out of me when
I was back in Arkansas one year, I slept through one! The next day they took me out to tour the damage. Holy Moly!
Holy bat guano Batman!! LOL nm

14, holy crow, what a testament to the
love and care you give him, most boxers don't get to that age!
Holy cow, how much money do you make? - sm
We pay maybe $6K a year on ours, $60K whew, you must make a ton of cash, or your husband does. Amazing. Our house will be paid off in 3.5 years on a 15 year mortgage.
Holy smokes Cat! That is just terrifying!
I have had nightmares about tornadoes since I was a kid but never ever saw one except on TV or in movies. They just scare the fecal matter right out of me! They are the main reason I won't ever leave New England. How you folks do it without going nutty is beyond me. Please be safe out there!
Holy Moly N/T last - for N/T Fans
I can't even print what I thought about Christian in this episode. Matt and Sean went a little crazy and that doesn't even include the (half sister thing). The N/T characters have gone crazy this season. LOL. What's wrong with Julia, confronting Eden alone? Next week is the season finale. Should be interesting.
Holy crap woman!
You have some big babies!! Noah 3 weeks early and still weighed 9 lbs 14 oz? Someone needs to put you up for sainthood. I bet you had a few choice words during labor.
No thanks, the Holy Bible is THE written authority to me!
j
Monty Python and the Holy Grail....sm
I wish I'd been back in NY to see Spamalot when it first came out on Broadway last year....we don't make that kinda money, honey.  Cat
It is the Holy Bible which includes both new and old Testaments. nm

My little dog and the Xmas tree...s/m
Hayseed you brought back the sweetest memory. Had a little lhasa apso named Blondie. One year the tree went up, got decorated, etc. Hours went by with no sign of Blondie. More time passed, no Blondie.. Started calling her name, looking from room to room, then looking outside for her. Nowhere in sight. About 1/2 hour later I just happened to go under the tree and there she was, laying on the green tree shirt and looking up at the lights. She spent about another hour like that and finally came out. It was the sweetest thing I ever saw........
Thank you so much. I am definitely doing this for the girls this Xmas now. nm

tears on Xmas Eve!!
I just feel so bad for you in this situation. I love my two dogs so much that I don't know what I will do without them one day... But I agree with you in the sense that I don't want them suffering or in pain. If something happens to them and they go blind or something like that, that is one thing... but when a pet cannot function anymore and you are only keeping them around cause you don't want to deal with the loss that is entirely different. I feel for both you, your mom, and the dog and I'm sorry you are going through this. I do not think there are right or wrong answers, but just remind her All Dogs go to heaven!!!

I almost fell off my chair in the difference.

Anyone started their Xmas shopping yet?
I was at the mall last night and noticed how every store already has their Christmas decorations up. I hate the Christmas season and love it at the same time. I love the beauty of it and hate the commercialism and stressing about what to buy as gifts. Besides, my kids have everything they could possibly need anyway ! 
Need some Xmas goodies recipes..
Looking for recipes to make some fairly easy yet yummy Christmas goodies for gift giving. No heavy baking or long recipes please. Stuff along the lines of snack mixes, that powdered sugar "puppy chow" (I think that's what it's called lol), etc. Stuff that can be made in large batches ahead of time and not needing refrigeration. There are so many great cooks out here..so this is the first place I thought of to get some great ideas. Thanks ahead to all who respond!! :)
jan 2nd? what happened to 12 days of Xmas?....
funny observation in this country....the earlier peeps put up their Christmas stuff, the quicker after Christmas many of them take it all down (not me though). There are 12 days of Christmas which equates to like the 5th or 6th of January, the EPIPHANY!.....so I don't get it when they take it all down the day after New Years.......... 
Everyone I know who puts it all up before Thanksgiving, takes it down either the day after Christmas or the day after New Years....
I keep my stuff up until nearly the 2nd week of January (my birthday *lol*)....
Happy Holidays To All! 
Getting mom, a 3rd shift LPN, on xmas mornin...
My dad would go out and start up the car to get it all heated, and we'd head out early to get coffee and doughnuts and pick mom up at work on Christmas morning. She always worked Christmas Eve so she could be off on Christmas Day to be with all of us.
There was always lots of snow during Christmastime then and the long drive to the ol' "Hunt Hospital" was always just so beautiful....no traffic, just beautiful back roads with pine boughs heavy with snow hanging over the power lines....
If I buy book for SIN for XMAS, but read it
xx
putting up Xmas lights
Sorry if this may seem really dumb but I've never done this before - how do you attach the lights to siding on a house around windows and doors? It's not wood siding, it's an older home with aluminum siding.
need a suggestion for Xmas gift.
Since we are so unbelievably broke this year, my 2 children (32 and 17, yes I know 32 years old and still living at home but she is going to school on a full scholarship to be a chemical engineer) are going to get ONE book for Xmas. I know which book to get my daughter but which for the 17-yo boy? And what's a good one for me? Thanks for any suggestions.
Yes, but keep in mind ks that Christian's follow EVERY word of the Holy Bible

Holy smokes, I have thick, long brown hair
$50.00 for cut and color and my hairdresser does a wonderful job.
Who wants to share where you can get hot deals on Xmas gifts?
We like Fat Wallet (fatwallet.com). Anyone else have any sites they use and recommend for bargain basement deals and/or tips? Thanks!

MTstars, I think it's really nice of you to do Xmas in July.
Nope, haven't. Maybe I'll get it for the hubs for Xmas as it's
s
Definitely stress. Cops said once that Xmas eve with alcohol & money

Anyone with kids that have Fuzz Luvz on their Xmas wish list?
My daughter wants one and I am having a heck of a time finding one. Amazon has them but I think they want $50 for one. Anyone with any knowledge on this? TIA!
And Thursday night is safer than Friday night - how?
We used to live in a town that was once in the Guiness Book of World Records for number of churches per capita (which by the way was the worst place I've ever lived - discourteous, Nazi schools, etc.), and they wouldn't let us trick or treat on Sundays. Ridiculous! People can say what they want but celebrating Halloween doesn't make you a devil worshiper! Just my 2 cents!
Mailing thank you cards to houses with nice Xmas lights, never heard of such a thing and I'm in
..
Decorated a fake ficus tree in dining room for Xmas one year & never took
s
Yep, there's even a song about it :)
She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
I met her there in the corner stand
And wonders where she is
And it's strange to her
Some people seem to have everything
9 am on the hour hand
And she's waiting for the bell
And she's looking real pretty
She's waiting for her clientele
She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
Twenty-eight years have come and gone
And she's seen a lot of tears
Of the ones who come in
They really seem to need her there
It's a sacrifice working day to day
For little money just tips for pay
But it's worth it all
To hear them say that they care
She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
Already knows, she's seen her bad times
Already knows, these are the good times
She'll never sell out, she never will
Not for a dollar bill
She works haaaaard......
Isn't there a song about that?
Something like,
"I want to check you for nits!"
Something like that. :o}

This song sez it all .......... s/m
Take a break from typing, and download the song, " We Can't Make it Here", by Larry McMurtry.
There should be a phrase in here 'bout Medical Transcription......
you mean the song(s) where the guy (sm)
loses his wife, his girlfriend, his other girlfriend, his ex-wife, his truck, his bicycle, his tractor, his dog, his cat, his lizard, his best friend, his best friend's wife, his best friend's ex-wife, his clothes AND his guitar?!? And then he gets run over by an 18-wheeler but still manages to survive and then becomes an alcoholic?!?
We must be the same age. That song SM
is truly awful and was on the radio every 10 minutes. Now it's going through my brain!!!! NO!!!!
song
If you want a lover
Ill do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
Ill wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
Im your man
If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
Ill examine every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
Im your man
Ah, the moons too bright
The chains too tight
The beast wont go to sleep
Ive been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
Ah but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
Or Id crawl to you baby
And Id fall at your feet
And Id howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And Id claw at your heart
And Id tear at your sheet
Id say please, please
Im your man
And if youve got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone
Ill disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand
Im your man
If you want a lover
Ill do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
Ill wear a mask for you
Song suggestions.
Having a party soon and need some song suggestions. The guest will be from 30 to 50 years old. Need some good dance music and slower songs to play during dinner.
christmas song
Happy Christmas by John Lennon
There is a country song.. sm
Alissa lies. About child abuse. I know this is a little different, but that song makes me so sad. It is hard for your daughter I'm sure not to think about children that struggle with issues of this sort.
That last song definitely was not in his favor
It's always going to happen with those original songs they do. Obviously that was more of a Jordin song than a Blake song. The Clay-Ruben year, they each had their own song. Clay's was "This is the Night." I don't remember what Ruben's was. In any event, they didn't both have to do the same original song. With Blake and Jordin being so different, it would have been nice to have something more fair, more even, instead of Blake having to do something so totally not his style.
Ever have a song going on in your brain that you SM
can't get out? Well, I have Black Eye Peas "Lady Lumps"! I don't even like it, but when channel surfing, MTV2 runs it all the time.  Must be where I heard it.
I LOVE that song! (nm)
