Close the shutters and curtains, pull out the riffles and hand guns. Make sure we have enough food to last us a good week and wait. <BR/><BR/>It is not safe to even go to the local conveince store...can you believe folks shop for holiday gifts there too, and the thrift shop. Nope...gonna wait for things to calm down...sometime after January 20th, we will do our holiday shopping. Besides all of the really best sales are afterwards.Malicious Intenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477868628325387881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20267501.post-14470309479639005972008-11-29T20:01:00.000-05:002008-11-29T20:01:00.000-05:00Someone just call me on New Year's Eve when the si...Someone just call me on New Year's Eve when the silliness is almost over.
