Soooo....for me this is something I have a hard time sharing. However I have been finding that it's easier to open up to alot of my XI family and some of them have been there for me through some pretty tough times. My brother passed away a few years ago on Christmas and I've always had a hard time enjoying it. Well this year after Covid I'm really trying to collect myself together and just be happy again. So long story over let's see everyone's Christmas tree. I'm excited to see these. I'm almost done with mine and I shall post.

I hope you will enjoy it again

Our tree before and after! We love to get big, full trees!

It took me along time to not be sad over Thanksgiving, similar story. Over time, it gets so much easier. I like the idea of honoring those we've lost who we love, like when a beloved dog dies and they make a paw print ornament for me, put that on the tree, ornaments that have particular meaning for lost loved ones, and have photos and remembrances on display. I feel like it kinda includes lost loved ones, if there is such a thing as an afterlife, spirits, maybe this helps include them to our living celebrations. I tend to make a room in my house for ancestor photos and hung up documents, I think it helps. Life is bittersweet but thank goodness we are alive and living!

here you will love mine the most i could not find the other ball

The ol' Charlie Brown. Can't beat the classics lol

Mine

No pictures or invite - boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Good call. We have several different makes/models/years on hand. Been prepping for about two decades now.

Think I'm going to invest in a full out gasmask

Hell yeah 80! Happy birthday Dad.. Will catch up soon for a pub crawl

I made double bacon, double Swiss cheeseburgers with homemade sauce tonight. Went well, except too much grease (even on toasted buns). Bacon cooked first, then I the cooked burgers in a small amount of bacon grease (drained before cooking burgers). I used ground chuck, so hence the excessive grease thereafter. When burgers were fully done, layered bacon and Swiss cheese atop over heat before putting them all together. Sauce on top and bottom buns. Sauce was simple: mayo, ketchup, mustard and generic steak sauce mixed. Burgers sprinkled with Blackstone Pub Burger seasoning before cooking. @Timmah!

XtremeIdiots would like to wish all members celebrating their birthday today a happy birthday. BoomSlang (66)hYst3r1a (32)STARPICKET (80)Biotech (56)

I love these. So pretty. @P!nk did you wrap those gifts? Because wow. @Essssieeee that tree needs a topper. Like a Santa hat. But it looks sooo nice ty for the share. Makes me happy.

LOL I always send out charie brown tree's to friends and family that utter blah humbug Christmas notes. It always cheers them up sometimes to the point of tears. Thank You Mr Shultz. As for you Ice queen just sit back on Christmas eve and remember a time that your brother made you laugh. Hold that thought and smile. That just brought him back. No reason to be sad because of that Merry Christmas.

Having held me in good stead all these years, the Boy Scout motto has motivated me to buy this, among other things over time. Better to have it & not need it than the converse. So, you can say today's episode is sponsored by the letter 'P' & the number '100'. Unopened, the filters are good for ~4 years. Once opened, the particulate filtration actually becomes more efficient over time, with accumulating filtrates adding to the effectiveness of the filters. For ~$40 - $50, it's a GREAT investment. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009POHLRC?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008MCUULW?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

Looks impressive. Although not a single bit of that bleeding edge technology would improve my game play.

That';s right up there with Tron posting a pdf. of a restaurant menu.

Uh oh. How long do we got boss? Afraid to Google it.

No pics = didn't happen.

I had to change my glasses just to cook it. Because grease. So no photos. lol

Did you mean whom you're eating out wit???

Thats just your imagination.

I would totally snack on you @Icequeen lol

@Timmah! has this tattoo -

Cheesy nineties pictures of beer trees, weed trees, money trees etc. etc. dropping 3, 2, 1..........

its a five hours difference i think from London to EST so it will be 2 pm New york time

UUUHHHH youll zoom and drive ????? LOL

Yes @EastCoast50 , @Timmah!is right ! need pictures to proove it..

OOff you getting thru tough times , you lost a lot on stock market last 2 yrs ...

Probably whatever you could get. IF you have the money for it. Get a 1tb 970. 2tb ssd's would be better but still a little pricey at this time. One for regular programs the other strictly for games. Might also want to consider a sound card. Then of course a traditional big HDD. Or better yet, get two of them since they are so cheap these days. WD Black drives have been the most reliable for me.

sweet ink!

I'm going to get me a bubble

should say SUPER HOOKER

it was wishful thinking on her part

You mean it's not... Lol

Trying to say youtube is a credible source of information would be like trying to tell your english teacher that wiki is a legitimate source to quote from and cite in an essay.

After 30 years on the job (including SWAT and being an instructor), I can tell you that this was a bad shoot for sure. Yeah, the guy was armed with a knife (as stated in the video), but he was NOT attacking the officers nor citizens. He was simply refusing commands to not enter the store. That is NOT cause to be shot in this specific incident. Personally, I have never experienced bad, corrupt cops over my time (thankfully) ... but they exist. Based upon the information provided and the video, the cop that shot the suspect should be arrested, charged and subsequently fired for sure. By the way, the idiot that created the YouTube video misspelled "SHOPLIFTING". Just a note. It matters WHO creates and presents such digital media (as it has been pointed out that the media creates and presents certain false issues these days).

My dad has been a cop for many years. Retired from it at the moment. And unfortunately even here in our small town there were some cops that believe they are always above the law. And there are some who take their job very serious to protect and serve. I wish there was a better system for this but no one knows how anyone is going to react under certain circumstances. You could have a level head. Talk about it all you want and do many exercises for when the time comes but once put in a real situation is a very different aspect. Sad. But (my personal opinion only) I think the media hypes up way too many situations and leaves out the good as well.

Why do some of you give me Hannibal vibes?

Let the innuendo begin.

Depends on what you are eating out. Or perhaps better to say, whom.

Good suitabality dressed we hope
