I noticed yesterday that my Christmas cactus has little buds on it, so that can mean only one thing: Thanksgiving is coming!

I used to have one of those when I lived in Florida. It bloomed on New Year's.

Nope--it's been happening for years, DR John G.

Santa has been at the Deptford Mall here in the South of Jersey ever since 11/05. Target began putting out Christmas knick-knack stuff the week before Halloween. And most major stores have already done their Black Friday sales...

Sheesh!...

It's always wonderful to see Dakota, a part of the family we don;t see often enough - but distressed and sending vibes about what you're going through.

ANTI BULLY VIBES FOR DAKOTA CELT

It is not my area- but shouldn't the Americans with Disabilities Act have some sort of provisions for prohibiting exactly this type of employer harrasment?

I'm curious about "Elf." The reviews are all over the board. Sounds like something I'd like and yet hate at the same time. In other words, "Wedding Singer" Part II.

So sorry to hear about your problems, Dakota. Vibes for better days ahead and for healing of body and soul.

Well it is officially the Christmas season - I just watched a family group ,all clad in Snugglies, singing around the piano in front of the Christmas tree

Does anyone think the Vixter is secretly hoping to find the peace sign emblazzoned Snugglie under the Christmas tree this year?

Costco had Christmas stuff out at the beginning of October. A few other stores, like Big Lots, were starting to put stuff out then, too.

I don't go shopping a lot (when you have no money, it kinda hinders what you can buy), so I guess I have just missed that stuff for the last couple of years.

The Costco's here start putting the Christmas stuff out in August - as I like to buy stuff a little at a time and squirrel it away until the holiday this always worked for me!

About the posts FJL refers to at that site:

I'm hoping that one day someone sues DataLounge for the names of these people - the precedent has now been set twice for such a thing to happen (both cases the sites were compelled to give the names and e-mail addresses of the offending parties) - in fact, someone should take that vile, negative, and worthless place down.

DR Dakota Celt, you cannot allow this bullying situation to continue. If the university administration is of no help, you need to get legal on their asses!

Sorry to read about DR Elmore's train-pain last night. Right now, I am in love with the conductor on my Philly-bound train after work. In my eight months of train commuting, she is the first and only conductor to ever enforce the rules on the Quiet Car. She has no problem with going up to the loudly chatting people and telling them to be quiet and to go after cell phone idiots. Of course, some people will be childish and make comments about her behind her back, but so far she's kept the Quiet Car quiet...

Dan (the Man) · « **Reply #56 on:** November 15, 2010, 07:16:35 AM »

Our connectivity to the Philadelphia office has been down all morning here in Conshohocken, so there's absolutely nothing we can do work-wise.

Oh, well...

Well, that's surely a shame, Dan the Man.

This was one of the special "joys" of Comic Con.

It was so chilly in there, I'm surprised that this girl didn't catch pneumonia.

BTW: So there will be no misunderstanding, I did not take this picture. It was sent to me.
