and who's to say that it's going to be full with no holes? I wouldn't trust that. I need to see the tree I'm buying and shake it and see it at all angles.
I miss the battles with Kathy, over the Christmas Tree. I miss strapping that fucker to the car, dragging it into the house, Kathy and I screaming at each other when trying to get it in to the stand. I miss just saying Fuck It, and just securing that fucker to the wall with twine. Its not the same with the fake tree.
But we did manage to yell and scream at each other yesterday, for a good 1/2 hour, over the Christmas lights!
She still doesnt have a fucking clue what she is doing!
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

gotta be the best of the best...right...
and how do returns work....
get a nice tree in the mail for 100, buy a crappy tree at the local lot for 20 bux....but crappy tree in HD box and return.
I had a battle with my kids over the tree. Said it was too little if they could hold it up and more importantly it's too little if I can get it off my roof rack on my car. :fp:

I can see it now...what's wrong with the tree m'am? It's not what I was looking for or it has holes in the one side.
I usually spend around $60 for a 7-8' Frazier Fur. I will never ever again make the mistake of buying a Blue Spruce; those fuckers' needles are razor sharp.

$40. Guy lives less than a mile from us has a few acres of land, his front yard is a huge hill that is a Christmas tree farm. Any tree $40, you cut it, bring it down the hill and he drills it, shakes it, wraps it. done.
We are so late this year cause of illness...
haven't got it yet :shock:
probably Sat, probably Lowes, probably around $35
it's kind of weird year.
very weird year
i got a good deal....$ 0
of course that's the price when you don't bother getting one :fp:
I've been thinking so much about you, your family and of course
all the others effected by the storm.
I hear people saying others should be grateful for surviving etc...
maybe I have been guilty as well.
Bright side is tough though, when some depression,
a period of mourning is expected. People never think it will happen to them,
these huge tragedies. The shock factor and aftermath must leave one feeling
out of it, in a weird place. I was just simply sick for awhile and feel that.
I guess all anybody can really say is be ... be what you feel.
My thoughts and prayers ...
this as all things shall pass, I will hope for time healing for you and yours
and all the other victims of this tragedy.
f that shit...spend $50 to buy a tree, drag it in the house, have the pets go bonkers over it, haul out the decorations to decorate it, the cat decides to climb it and hide in there whilst knocking off all the ornaments, and then you step on a hook and it gets stuck in your foot, so you hop around on one foot until you can find a chair to sit on to take it out. Meanwhile the dog thinks it's a game and starts jumping on you so you then lose your balance and start flailing your arms, and grab the only thing closest to you...the tree. Then it falls on top of you, the cat gets scared and takes off, but garland is attached to him, so he freaks out and drags garland all over the house while he is climbing the walls, and now you have a huge mess to clean up.
Fun times.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

fucker needs water every other day.
Damn, friggen suburbs.
$100 for an 7-8 foot grand fir. $90 with a $10 tip. The douglas fir started at $60.
might be worth a 20 minute drive next year cliff
Ha, yeah, an 7-8 foot tree on Honda Accord on 76 or Kelly Drive might not be the best idea though.
