Believe it or not I was debating between that or just another HP Laptop, I was reading the reviews about Chromebook and they seemed pretty good, of course some had a few complaints, but I was soooo close to getting until I saw an HP laptop on sale for $259 last Monday so I went with that instead.
Something I read about Chrome book in the reviews was that they don't last very long? Maybe some folks just got the lemons that rolled out of factory, wonder if that's really true.
just got my annual advertisement from illinois international travel (apparently run by jws).
for $1,199 i can take a tour from september 17-25. why are they printing so much bible literature if the witnesses are supposed to be using tablets?.
saturday: first stop at new yorks newark airport, then transferred to a marriott hotel.
My mother keeps getting mail from them too,I believe they're the group my parents used for their trip to Japan, matter of fact I had to call them the last time they sent something to her, I think it was this summer to let them know she passed in 2006.
i kid you not!!!!!
my family, and i, were on our way to my wife's brothers house today, which is the families christmas tradition.
we open presents in the morning, and at around 10:30, we head over to my brother in laws for breakfast/brunch, with all the family.. so, as we loaded some presents up in the car, and we all jumped, and drove away, at the end of my block, jehovahs witnesses!
Yeah, with my mother on Xmas a few times, just what a kid want's to do on Xmas morning, or any morning for that manner.
My mother with her pompous JDub attitude used to say, "isn't it a shame that they keep Jesus as a little baby" , that from someone that was raised in the Baptist church and had two uncles who were Pastors.
this is obviously a question for born-ins like me.
so, how did christmas feel to you as a child?
to me it was awful.
my inlaws are polish, though my husband is a 3rd generation american, but the food traditions have stuck around.. we have christmas eve dinner starting with red beet soup with sour cream, pierogies filled with mashed potatoes or saurkraut, ham, polish sausage sliced and cooked with saurkraut, turkey (that part is american), krischickies (likely spelled wrong) which are crispy pastries dipped in powdered sugar, and apple pie (also american.).
there are goodnatured threats toward bad children who may need to get their dupa busted (butt spanked) and therefore santa will bring figismachen.
i also love golabkis (ground beef and rice wrapped in cabbage leaves), but these were not served this time.
Pernil, which is a marinated pork shoulder, extremely popular in the Puerto Rican culture, although I'm not PR
i used to enjoy being able to distinguish different local accents, but for some reason i've got worse at it.
i was thinking about this today when i was listening to bette midler on the scottish radio.
i thought to myself i quite liked her accent and also that it reminded me of someone else.
I'm just trying to figure out how you hear an accent when Better Midler speaks, no accent there at all
the following was from a friend of mine:.
yesterday for the first time in the 2 years we've been living here.
two 50+ year old women.
a catchy little number this one!
curiously, this little known christmas song by perry como was actually the theme tune to the odessa file movie back in the 70's.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5l1uddoh-yu.
so what have you got?.

I still haven't heard my favorite by Nat King Cole yet on the radio this season. Although having grown up in Hollis, Queens and went to school with Joseph's brother Russell, when I hear Xmas in Hollis come on I usually turn to another station, can't take that song anymore !
