Alright, it's time to stop this madess. It's Christmas/holidays/almost the beginning of a brand new year, for goodness sake! I'm taking a stand and starting a new post that has nothing to do with the differences between men and women.

Anyone with me?

And I'm leaving the board for today to be with family and friends.

May you all have a restful, non-argumentative evening!

http://www.ilovewavs.com/Holidays/Xmas/cf/I%20want%20a%20Hippopotamus%20for%20Christmas%20from%20the%20Greatest%20Christmas%20Novelty.wav

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door,
that's the easy thing to do

I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too

Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian

There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage
I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage

I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahaha...

I am so with you! If I didn't think that the entire idea of "cyber cocktails" was so silly, I would send you one right now.

That's great! I hope that he does not run into any of our interesting characters on the train...hehehe. Welcome to Chicago - I am going to pee on the floor now. Hehe.

Oh yeah I gave him the whole rundown on how to behave on the train and where to look so he doesnt sit or stand in something unpleasant...

And yeah, I have that blog on my favorites...I ride the Red Line quite often (I HATE the Red Line!!) to work. I love reading those stories...such weirdness and all the different people that ride the transportation...makes life interesting!

Well, I hope that you have a very Merry Christmas. I am super excited and can't wait to visit with with my extended family. I got my first present last night. My ex is a salesman and is always winning these great things. He won a really nice 17" flat screen monitor and, since I have wanted one for awhile, he gave it to me. He already has one that he won. I can't wait to get home and hook it up!

Merry Christmas to you too! I had to get a flat screen when I moved to Chicago because my other tv was too big for my little studio. Mine is 15" and I LOVE IT! Very clear, very nice picture!!

It's a computer monitor - I WISH it were a TV. LOL! But it's still nice because my monitor on my computer is so huge that it takes up my entire desk so this will be better.
