So, have we been good and what are you asking Santa to drop off at your house? I want this stock and a couple of spare magazines. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Promag-ARCHANGEL-1A-PRECISON-STOCK-AAM1A-/130799236496?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e743df590" rel="nofollow - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Promag-ARCHANGEL-1A-PRECISON-STOCK-AAM1A-/130799236496?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e743df590 So want do you want for Christmas? ------------- Innocence proves nothing FUAC!!!!! |

Honestly, I will probably just end up with some cologne and whatever my 8 year twins think I desperately need which usually ends up being something really odd. Like a bathing suit and flipflops.

Yeah my mom and girlfriend have been bugging me for what I want. I cannot think of anything I really want. I'm kind of content in my existence right now, as far as stuff goes. The only thing I can think of is http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/12142-USA/Canon_2514A002_Normal_EF_50mm_f_1_8.html" rel="nofollow - a low-light lens, like the 50mm f/1.8, but I'd hate for anyone to spend the cash on it just for me.

That was about when the realization that I was "growing up." I usually can't think of anything to ask for people to get me. I'm a pretty simple guy anyways. I have only bought 2 ps3 games since I got mine years ago, and besides golf I don't really have any hobbies that aren't lifting/running/watching TV. I'm actually happy I'll be able to tell someone about the jacket. The "I don't really WANT anythings" have grated on family nerves the last few years. ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

In all honesty, given the status of my bank account after having been un(der)-employed for the last six months, I'm contemplating 'skipping' Christmas for the wife and I and focusing all of our resources on the kids. Her and I don't need anything anyway, and as long as everyone's home and happy, that's enough for me. Its the ONE holiday where we don't travel anywhere. We don't visit in-laws, we don't even go visit my family, who live 15 minutes away. My rule is that Christmas is done in our house for the kids. If anyone wants to visit US....fine. But I'm not jockeying the little ones all over the countryside to satisfy the demands of jealous family members on either side. That doesn't do anything but erode the peace of the holiday. ------------- ? |

Not looking or anything in particular and haven't even thought about it. The maw was giving me grief about never telling her what I want for birthdays/chrimbo. I wish I was young again as then I'd have the bare faced cheek t ask for ridiculous stuff , and there was a wee chance I would get it as well. Now I understand there's not a lot of money about and wouldn't ask for a great deal if anything at all. My favourite part of Christmas is just getting together with my mates at one of our houses for a party. It's probably one of my favourite nights of the year just eged by Hogmanay.

I think it's pretty commonplace for couples to start skipping gifts to one another once kids come along. Honestly, it seems silly to me considering neither of us really needs anything and all buying presents for each other does is feed into the commercialization of Christmas. We've even pared back on what we get for the kids these days. I compare what my mom used to buy me when I was a kid and it's absurd the amount of loot that I used to walk away with. ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |

I'd like either a nice chainsaw, weed-eater, roof for my Yamaha Rhino, or an upper for a 300 blackout. I don't expect the ole lady to spend that much though.

Try a nice thick pair of leather and wool welding gloves... Not the thin ones sears has but a nice pair from a welding supply shop ;) you will never go back... Edit: my mom is having a plate put in her neck a few weeks before so I honestly just want her to recover. A good meal with the family wouldn't hurt either. I may try my hand at prime rib this year. ------------- saving the world, one warship at a time. |

Boots are the most important thing. You need them to be snug and form fitting to your foot, but still comfortable. You don't want any "slop" in the side-to-side and twisting motion, but make sure you can still wiggle your toes. Wear whatever socks you'll use for skiing when trying them on. Bindings are second most important. Spend decent money for decent bindings. The good thing here is that unlike boots, used bindings can be a good deal (used boots are usually trashed on the insides). Get the bindings that fit your style of skiing. Be honest with yourself. If you're a lazy schusser who likes making broad turns and just taking it easy, you don't need the latest LOOK race bindings. Bindings transfer the motions you make with your feet and legs to the planks of wood, metal, and plastic on the snow. Skis are actually the least important part of the equation. Albeit, still important, the difference in modern skis is very slight from brand to brand. Again, get something that fits your style. You don't need super aggressive shape if you don't carve a lot. You also don't need super long skis if you don't plan on going fast all of the time. Poles: Cheap poles are just as good as expensive carbon fiber or fiberglass ones. Plus, they're less expensive to replace when you break one on the lift or lose it. With you feet flat on the floor and gripping the poles around their handles, your forearms should be bent upward from the elbow at a 10*-15* angle. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig.

Yeah I need some ski equipment too. I have to take a gondola to my job in the morning and can ski home or to my second job. On that note though I'm going cheap. I'll never be skiing hard enough to care how well they fit. Cheap, my size, win. ------------- Que pasa?

Demo equipment is fantastic stuff that can be had for cheap. That's how I always got next-year's skis and bindings this year and for around $300-$500 total ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

302's are great engines, I love my daily driver that has one. That being said, a Ford 300 i6 is probably one of the best half ton truck engines ever. Same torque or better than a stock 302, better mpg, and an awesome torque curve. -------------

So what does she do to bug you?  (If only you were a professional writer so you would have thought to phrase that in a way that I couldn't be a smart-butt about it.)
Why? You're Canadian . . . the government would just take all the money in taxes and censor your iPad content to the point where it wasn't enjoyable anyway.  I want people to continue making comments on the forum that allow me to continue responding in a manner that allows me to show how amusing I think I am. . . . . oh wait . . . wish granted. 
I will keep my fingers crossed for you. 
As someone who has a nice set of pins in my back I can tell you from experience that this type of surgery isn't nearly as scary as it used to be. If they had a praying smiley I'd put it here to show that I'm wishing her a quick recovery. -------------

I went shopping today and found brand new ski boots. Last years for $140-$200. Not even demos. I paid $50 for skis. When I go buy the boots tomorrow I'll get out of this at $200-$250 for boots, skis, and bindings. WIN WIN WIN. When I get back to Vail(had to come home for some emergency shenanigans) I will have to start taking some of those free lessons yeeeah Wish granted. ------------- Que pasa?

we sold our nikon d60 and ordered a Pentax k30 with 18-135mm lens for our Christmas. We were going to buy a go pro for kayaking pics and vids, the k30 is waterproof, takes videos and is dust and cold proof as well. I also like the fact that the body of the K30 has the ant-vibration and autofocus motor rather than the lens's like most dslr's.

Non-Christmas related, but kinda... The wife and I are going to put her parents on our family talk plan from AT&T and get new phones this Friday. Probably going Galaxy S3 for me and the wife and iPhone 4 for the 'rents. Only problem the wife and I face is that most of our music is itunes. So we'll have to convert everything to .mp3 for the S3 from what I've understood. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |
