Back when I was in the Navy and our carrier was in drydock for a refit my youngest brother got assigned to the same ship. He and his young wife (barely 18) moved to Bremerton and rented their first apartment together. They went somewhere for the week and I apartment sat because I was cheap, single and living on the ship. When I walked into their bedroom and saw the extensive collection of (mainly Disney) stuffed animals I did the same thing. She said later that Snow White and the Six Dwarves (Dopey was "busy" with Cinderella IIRC) were, "sullied forever!!!!"<BR/><BR/>Then again, I wrote the girl off when I discovered she cooked chili from a recipe.Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12839802024718595388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228565287781450038.post-61607866222678836802008-12-10T13:10:00.000-06:002008-12-10T13:10:00.000-06:00Meh, my rules for real tree-buyin' would be;Don't....Meh, my rules for real tree-buyin' would be;<BR/><BR/>Don't.<BR/><BR/>8 in and on the mantle?

It's pretty, it's cheap, it doesn't shed, it doesn't become a fire hazard, I don't have to water it and I always know where *the perfect* tree for next year is.Snigglefritshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00993769458966206782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228565287781450038.post-78676468572537514612008-12-09T13:36:00.000-06:002008-12-09T13:36:00.000-06:00Sarge:Don'cha just LOVE those "helpers" at the loc...Sarge:<BR/>Don'cha just LOVE those "helpers" at the local big boxes...like a mongoose tweaked on speed, eh?<BR/>And the rule of "measure twice, buy once" still rings true regarding those "FURREAL" trees!<BR/><BR/>Got some rememberances over the various trees we had in our household then AND now...<BR/>See? <BR/>You got me to thinkin' (many have said that used to be dangerous).<BR/><BR/>What we need are Murphy's Rules of Christmas Tree Buying...LOL!<BR/>(the unabridged edition w/ all those good cuss words left in)<BR/><BR/>Carry On.Bob G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09222203353717749897noreply@blogger.com
