Dave1291 Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 Temps going up in Duckburg the next couple days thennnnn we'll see what shakes out weather wise. Merry Christmas to ALL of you. Enjoy the fam and down time. It always sorts itself when you're taking out the trash after. It's NOT OVER YET though. Returns and SALE TIME begins! I go NO WHERE CLOSE to a mall from Thanksgiving until mid-January. Preservation of species applies. Wimmen on a mission? You're a dead man. Just drove by the local Wal-Mart "Super" center and the lot was packed all the way to the highway. Funny! Prolly men who waitied until Mary's water broke to do their shopping. Carry on and have ya sum fun! Again, Merry Christmas! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germany has been in an economic recession for two years, it has lost the touch with the TEC industries, which is also one of the leading producers in car manufacturing. Back to the roots ...From High Tec Mercedes back to the Trabbi .🤣..too sad ! Have you heard about the attack in the German city of Magdeburg ? 6 dead and over 200 injured at a Christmas market! An assassination attempt by a doctor working in Germany who came from Saudi Arabia in 2006 and had lived here 🤷♂️ 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted December 24, 2024 Author Share Posted December 24, 2024 Looks like we have a ten year anniversary of CCC&C on February 6th. Where's the party to be held? Surprised we never thought of this but it might be fun to post a photo of your favorite coffee/tea mug. I still use my See's Candy mug that came with a box of chocolates sent to my LF from former member minermark. Hope you Gents have a wonderful Christmas!

Marvel Posted December 28, 2024 Share Posted December 28, 2024 Nineteen years ago, just three days after Christmas, my first wife (and Invidiosulus' mom) passed away. It's hard to fathom how the time has passed. She was a most amazing woman, fantastic mom, and delight for the years we had her in our lives. She poured herself into our three kids (yup... two more besides Josh). I've been blessed with a second wife, also amazing. Totally different, they can't be compared, but suffice it to say, we are doing quite well. Christmases are a double edged blade for all of us. I'll have to have some icecream in a bit. Barbara never got to see the marriages or grandkids... This could go on and on, but partly, thanks to those on the forum who supported us, even if just being there when we needed it. Thoughts and prayers to you all! It's partly why I am reminded of members here who we know have passed away. Doesn't matter your beliefs when they are your friends. So... stuck between Christmas and the New Year. Peace! 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted December 29, 2024 Share Posted December 29, 2024 They may not be The Three Graces, but they are certainly three sisters. Bernadette, Pauline, and wife Encarnacion. This was taken after the 6:30 a.m. Mass today. There are a couple more we get along with... the oldest is in Iceland and the other is in Ireland. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An assassination attempt by a doctor working in Germany who came from Saudi Arabia in 2006 and had lived here 🤷♂️ Interesting history of the attacker (from the BBC) Officials say Taleb Al-Abdulmohsen, was an "untypical" attacker. Germany's Christmas markets and festivals have come under attack before, mainly from extreme Islamists. He has been described as critical of Islam and he also voiced support on social media for the far-right Alternative for Germany party, hailing the party for fighting the same enemy as him "to protect Germany". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted December 29, 2024 Share Posted December 29, 2024 57 again today and rain again in Duckburg? All quiet for the most part. Some woman locked her keys in her SUV @ Wal-Mart so called the cops to see if they could get in it for her. Yea, they did but she forgot to mention her kid was in the car seat locked in with the keys. How DO they do that stuff? That Christmas on a mission stuff must enter into play. Dunno so back to the coffee. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted December 30, 2024 Share Posted December 30, 2024 Every year, we send a couple 'Balikbayan' boxes to family in the Philippines, candy, food, clothes they can't get there, special gifts. We sent two this year, and they are 24×24×18, weight is not an issue as they go by sea. Our boxes were picked up in Chattanooga on Aug. 26, trucked to the coast (I think Savannah). Loaded into containers and out to sea. Should have been to Manila in November. Updates showed delays. Port of Manila was full, ship traveled to Ningbo, CN while things cleared out. New date... Dec 12... stalled again. New date, Dec. 23... nothing. Finally, arrived in port on Dec. 25... give 2-4 working days to unload and deliveries to be made. Today, just like Amazon... out for delivery. Showed up about 4:00pm. Merry Christmas! If you aren't really in a hurry, it's cheap to ship by sea to here. About 115 per box. To be honest, name brands are easy to get here and the prices are a bit lower. But... who wants to go out and do all your Christmas shopping the week or two before Christmas (we don't do that at home). No Walmarts here and the malls are way better than ANY I've ever seen in the US. Service is definitely beet. Ataff know the proderucts and wear uniforms so you know who the employees are. Sorry for the ramble... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
