November 11th, 2009

should be working asked:


Hi. My boyfriend and I are celebrating an early christmas at my new apartment before we each head to our separate homes for the holidays. We are both 23. We are exchanging gifts, etc, but I was wondering if anyone had any great ideas for a fun/festive/at home/reasonably priced activity? I was thinking something along the lines of xmas cookies…but wanted other ideas? Please nothing crude.
thanks for everything so far, merry xmas!! still looking for some more great ideas!

raha asked:


i spent 2 weeks of holiday vacation (including xmas and new year) at my aunt’s house. I had a wonderful time; everyone was really courteous, and i got along really well with my cousins. However, i don’t know how to properly thank them. Phone calls, gifts, emails, letters…what should i do to show my appreciation? What should i say?

Wasn’t McCain the Senator of Arizona when they refused to recognize MLK as a holiday?

July 7th, 2009

mr_cj_jr asked:

I believe that McCain was the Senator at the time when Arizona refused to recognize Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday as a National holiday.
In fact, they lost their 1st bid at a Super Bowl (later awarded AFTER they recognized MLK as a holiday) because of it.

Yet, people in here call Obama “racist”?
Hmmmm.

Thoughts?
Regarding “white” holidays: Every other holiday is a “white” holiday. Recognizing MLK’s contribution to America for ONE day shouldn’t be an issue.

I need to go to another town and have something signed and notarized. I have to do this on a non-working day because the travel time is 2 hours. What kinds of places have notaries AND are open on weekends and/or holidays?

What is the name of this desert tree/brush used for holiday decorations?

June 6th, 2009

J J asked:


My mother in law has this tree/desert brush looking item that she says she got when she lived in California and she thinks it came from a desert. It is really smooth and a pale brown, almost like a river birch without the bark. It also looks like a weathered tree from the river or ocean. It is mounted to a platform that allows it to stand up and she decorates it for different holidays. Any help would be appreciated!
