    X- How could I not? Xmas with the Outlaws consists of hanging out and quiet with them and Escher, some guests, dinner out, sleeping in late, coffee, chatting, and on Xmas eve, a nice dinner at the chinese buffet I love my pagan parents.

    BMo3- Little sisters are supposed to be kind to the brain damaged. Yes, you're invited to the theoretical party you're insisting is happening. would you have it any other way?

    CWR- Well crap! You get home, just in time for me to be leaving! No worries, I'll √ email and all that. Take care. Any problems- I mean ANYTHING, and you refer yourself to my advice to Snap. No questions. If you're careful, you can get away with anything once.

    Being a New Zealander by birth, I am used to being first with Christmas but this year we out-did ourselves by celebrating on the evening of the 23rd!
    Really simple, home-y and nice - the benefit of living in a non-Christian country we don't have to suffer the horrendous consumer-fest, family tensions,etc that have been described here. We have all the Jewish holidays for that!! Shopping as the central Family Value and shared activity !!

    (Reason: Our elder son is going into the Israel Defence Forces Basic training on the 24th at 5 am )

    Btw, CWR -
    I used the Japanese fishing ball as part of our Christmas "domestic altar"; reflecting the candle flame and the flickering Christmas Lights it was just so special

    All you need is love...la-dee-da-dee-da...all you need is love!

    I will keep Krusty if I can't get him adopted out. Just means I have to build another pen in the spring, that's all.

    ha. that's cute knot.
    I have a couple dollars out there that i have followed..


    Nanci, all,
    Don't worry, I already told DS that we need pictures. He understands.
    they named it schrader because they were thinking of buying a california toad snake?
    i can't remember what kind; and they were so shiny black they looked like INNERTUBES.
    Schraeder, get it? They decided against that type of snake, but DGF liked the name.
    DS wanted to call it "Fluffy" but she wouldn't let him.

    RAT snake!! the black snakes are rat snakes. But Shraeder is a ball python.
    Funny name for a snake.
    Well, tonight, DS (the younger) entertained both of his grandmothers by explaining what snakes eat and how to feed them (Kind of like Nanci with us)

    Thanks Trek - I'd heard about those microlenders on the radio several months ago but had forgotten about it - what a great idea! I love Heifer because you can really see how the animals change people's lives, and it is sucha concrete thing. But the microlending seems even more direct, I've going to read up on it some more - thanks for the link...

    On another note, any of you other Bay Area TD-ers feel those 2 quakes we has last night and this morning? Both were about 3.5 and centered within a couple miles of my house
    Keep calm and carry on...

    Congratulations! BPs are pretty cool, and stay a manageable size. My friends have one named Katrina, because they got her during Hurricane Katrina. Katrina lives in a plastic tub, not a decorated viv. Wife thinks Katrina deserves a better home. Husband likes simplicity- and this is how most people with more than a few snakes keep them. One night, wife, _without_ hearing aids, hears a crash. Protector husband does not wake up. Wife rushes out to the living room to investigate. Katrina has pushed the top off her bin and gone exploring, ending up on a bookshelf, where she was knocking things off. At least when a big snake escapes, they are easy to find! Another time she escaped, and they found her between the mattress and box spring of their bed!!

    I'd love to see a picture of him...
