WOW! Someone was on your side today! Scary to think what could have happened if someone had been in one of those cars out front!

Oh if someone had been in one of those cars, especially the next door neighbors, they'd have at the least been seriously injured.

Strange now that I think about it too...in the time I'd been cleaning the living room, we'd had ups show up to deliver a package (I hate to think about what would have happened if he'd hit that truck!) and the pharmacy had made a delivery. Oh, now that's really scary, I'd just plugged the vacuum in (so it'd have been just a few minutes before the accident) when I saw the pharmacy guy pull up and ran out to grab the meds. Told him I'd be right back with the money and he waited by his car for me. It couldn't have been more than 10 minutes later that the accident happened.

OMG! War, you and Darren (& rest of family) must have some serious Karma working on your side, out of a simple fluke of parking both vehicles in the alley. So sorry for the neighbors. Can you imagine the deductibles & nuisance factors trying to deal with this stuff just before the holidays?

Wow! I'm glad you all are safe!

Have you seen that Lowes commercial where the Mom is using the computer to show the daughter all the decorations they have put up? It really annoys me because the daughters voice is so weird, like she is high or something, LOL. Anyway I just had to say something, I just saw it and it really bugs me.

I posted that in the Hairball/Cat thread a couple days ago because it was so funny. Looks like the kitten was playing "peek-a-boo".

Fun to see it again!

Wargod, your story reminds me of something that happened many years ago. I'm guessing I was 20ish, still living at home with parents. In the middle of the night, right outside my bedroom window, there was a LOUD explosion / crash. Eventually found out young guy had fallen asleep and crashed into tree right outside my window. So woke me up out of a sound sleep and mom in my parents' bedroom (their window was near tree also). My dad was sleeping on the couch (watching TV). Did NOT wake him up. Our neighbors on the opposite side of our house from the tree thought our house had exploded. The young guy survived, but he had some injuries -- feet, ankles, legs as I remember.

A, it sounds a bit more folksy and is more about the kids. B sounds more self-congratulatory.

is this a present? if so, i think B says 'thank you' better, but to be honest, I wouldn't give either as a present.

Yes, a present. Why would you give neither as a present Annie? Thanks all for your input.

Do you think the teacher would really wear it? I tend to give presents they can use along with a hand written note expressing my appreciation.

Maybe a mug with it on it.

I frown on buying people I am not really close to clothes. Just seems funny to me.

I think a mug with the saying and a $5 GC to Starbucks in it would be a better gift.

Food for thought. Might do a tote bag. I too, am a little wary of buying clothes, but I did get her size confirmed. But the tote bag still might be better.

But as a child (and niece and granddaughter and sibling) of teachers--I can tell you one thing. I will never buy a teacher a mug. That is one thing they get way too many of.

Gift card is the best, but since we've had this same SLP for many years (actually almost every year that Ryan's been in elementary school), we've grown a little closer to her than many "regular" teachers and wanted to get her something a bit more personal than our usual giftcard.

I agree, mugs aren't in my top 10 of gifts, but if you were wanting something with the saying on it, I personally think it's better than a shirt.
I do understand wanting to give a special teacher more than the usual GC.

Unless you know her very well including her likes and dislikes IMO a gift card is always best.

DVDs. There seems to be a number of sites out of Canada that sell DVDs of TV series that have not been released in the U.S. as yet. So . . . what does that mean legal-wise? And how 'bout DVD quality-wise? Has anyone bought from those sites?

My favorite movie has never been released in the U.S. Amazon.ca sells it, so I bought it. Just check Amazon.ca for the COMPLETE St. Elsewhere series on DVD. (I met Howie Mandel / Wayne Fiscus at a book signing last night.) Amazon.ca doesn't sell it, but there's a link to a site that does.
