| In the past I have hated the holidays. Period. An alleged time of Joy & Cheer, usually punctuated with akward moments like the gift you didn't know was coming & now feel obliged to reciprocate & the annual recitation of your life story to people & relatives that look familiar but you can't really place.
I think it all comes down to Expectations. I have a problem with expectations & I trully should know better. After all God sent me to Kansas for 8 months & the one lesson that seemed to stay in front of me the whole time was that 'Expectations Cause Resentments'. I don't do well with resentments so I work to avoid them at all costs. Expectations on the other hand.....
You see the Media, the Retail Demegouges, The Advertising Conglomerates all send the same message....Buy shit for Xmas, you'll feel better. The newer, most up to date, the faster, brighter, shinier the better. Feel Guilty about last years value differential in a gift with a co worker.....Buy Shit. Did you feel bad when you told your Hair Stylist what you really thought about her new idea for you hair, Buy Shit. Did you rip the lips off of your letter carrier for mail that came late.....you get the point. Buy Shit. It'll fix everything.
So now I have this message ingrained that the secret to a Happy Xmas is to buy shit. Give it away for sure, But buy shit none the less.
This year I went insane buying stuff & wow do I feel good. The key however is not what you might think. You see the key is that I took some time to get out of the bad heighborhood that I call my head & think about others while I was buying said shit. Also I started early. For me any thing before 12/23 is early. And finally, I stayed out of the mall & spent my time & money at the dollar store. I could make all the impulse buys I wanted & still not incur any massive credit card debit. Ya hoo!!! Generic Pez dispensers for all!!!! Ok, some.
Happy Holidays,
Back on the 28th

| When you find out about a recall on PET BED HEATERS, don't procrastinate. Don't worry, the house is fine, the cats are fine. BTW at catchannel.com you can find their websites. J Fredrick Underfoot, Little Prince Nubbins & Casey Gray. I think I may be more comfortable using them as avatars for my on line catharsis. More later ...maybe.

| Like anyone other than Tree25 (God Bless HER) is gonna read this crap. Sorry, I'm a bit grumpy from a cold & to heap insult upon infection, after going to the Dr, he prescribes a medication that is supposedly far better than what I can by OTC. It appears this miracle drug is nothing mre that over priced Mucinex & sudafed both of which I have sufficient stocks of at home. What the fuck?!?!? Is he on commision? The moral of this story Wonder Twins is as follows, If the Dr can't quote you what is in the prescription, ask the pharmacist. Period. EOB
