Yep Vinnie. I finished my Christmas shopping yesterday. Now to see if anyone likes what I got them.

can you add some time to the counter plz

No

Shannon: cool, welcome to the fun club! WOO! WOO!
Chris: sorry... tick... tock...
Gweep:

Yep Vinnie. No more Christmas stress. Got my dad, step-dad and brother practical gifts. My sister, mom and step-mom got jewelry. My Niece got an Itunes gift card. My nephew will get a Superman Returns action figure from Ebay. See, My christmas is over for this year. Gweep, you better hurry up with your christmas shopping, that dreaded day will sneak up on you sooner than you think. And Chris, Vinnie can't turn back time, you have to take that up with Cronus, god of time.

My brother, sisters and friends got some unexpected and kewl gifts (I am a Xmas super genius, seriously I live for plotting the kewl gifties). Everyone else will be happy too, damn did I get done fast! Got to think of what I want (no tshirts but that's not a want but a don't want, hehe). $$ for new computer parts always works for da Vin!

Vinnie, fixed my dad's tv on the pc. Had to go to the Hauppauge web site and download the software for the card, since it wasn't in my dad's open box HP pc. Now I am very happy.

Cool beans Shannon! Hauppauge makes some very nice cards indeedy!

Now the rest of you - finish up that shopping! Let's see who's last

I plan on finishing my Xmas shopping around Memorial Day

Christmas Shopping? Christmas Presents? THAT fesces!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, I got a cool spare gift if anyone wants it, seeing as my brother is indicating he hates the idea of presents!

I have maybe one or two small gifts. But pretty much done. Nothing a 5 minute run to Walmart can't fix.

And how can a good italian boy use X-mas instead of Christmas?

With a long name like Vincent Navarino that you have to write all the time you save characters when you can. When I was a kid I painstakingly wrote my name perfectly legible. Later on in life, you'd think I was some sort of star/celebrity with all the squiggles and if you could make out the V or the N out of all the swirl then you were lucky. My signature now is V squiggle N squiggle.

Also contrary to agnostics or politically correct theologians, I did not use Xmas instead of Christmas to avoid offending non-catholics. The X in Xmas stands for you're all going to burn in Hell for not believing in him. Spread-eagled, writhing in endless pain and agony for all time because of your misdeeds and vile wickedness.

Merry Xmas everyone!

Vinnie. The above post was so funny. Now do you know of an Eye Doctor that doesn't charge over a hundred dollars on glasses frames? Looks like my glasses frames don't last more than a year for me. What a bummer for Christmas, having to buy some frames for my lens in these frames. Oh well, maybe I will be lucky and be able to get a replacement temple for my glasses. hate to buy new frames for my lens.

Try Zenni Optical Or 39dollarglasses.com

Exactly 2 weeks until Christmas...

Vinnie,

Will probably wait until after christmas and new year's to get a new set of frames for my 1 1/2 year old lenses. Gonna get some tough frames this time, because the cheap wire frames don't work on my face. I'm rough with glasses.

Xmas is a special time and a good time. Can't wait until I see 0 on that countdown!

Until next year Vinnie, then we do this all over again.

True dat, Shannon. True dat!

Ok Vinnie,

Let's agree to not do this xmas thing until next year. An easy resolution to keep eh? Oh and by the way, after I get back from town with my mom to get my slightly new glasses frames fixed or replaced, I gotta work on a gospel song. Now don't beat the cat and shoot the dog while I'm gone (your brother is another matter). I just bought *gasp* Microshaft Office Standard 2007 last week, and am getting used to the new "features" in it. See you after Xmas. Have a happy new year if I don't talk to you before then.

Merry Xmas one and all... and oh, yeah... put the money back Tiny Tim

The money is all mine... bbwwaaaahhaaa Only 7 more days till Christmas.

7 more days of Xmas music, you mean. And oh yeah, you can keep the loot

MERRY XMAS EVERYONE!!
