Edge is Michelle's guide dog and he has about a 2 hour time limit when we are out, then he gets restless. Kind of like canine ADD.

. One of the dogs was having a stomach issue yesterday so he was heaving here and there. Nothing like cleaning up dog puke after a full day away.

The batteries in my Ryobi drill are pretty sad.

It will probably be cheaper to buy new than to go back to Batteries Plus again (2-18v batteries replaced was $65 five years ago).

I got some batteries for my Ryobi on ebay - I don't recall the the price, but it was much more reasonable.

This is why I hate holiday shopping.





It defies logic.

UltraWoman is a true professional shopper...she is in an elite group who are in the know of what is selling were and for how much....its uncanny what she knows. She was saying that a lot of stuff that is on sale today has been on sale here and there during the year and a lot of times cheaper then it is being offered now....

Sorry about you big screen Bill....but if you wait till after Christmas....you will no doubt find it cheaper somewhere......It's marketing....

Edge truly is a great dog. He is from Seeing Eye and is a cross between a Yellow Lab and a Golden Retriever. He has a bit of Kleptomaniac in him as well. He is 5 years old and still is an overgrown puppy. It is amazing how he knows when he is working and when he isn't.

In the past year or so, he has taken to walking Michelle all over the neighborhood. They had a couple of "where the hell am I incidents". But now she lets him go where he wants on their exercise strolls.

Maybe I will post a picture later when I get home from "work".

Sucks about the tv, Bill. I was reading an article the other day though that said Black Friday is not the best time to buy a tv. They said you will get good deals on the cheap, low end stuff, but the best deals on big name brand stuff is the week before super bowl.

And BTW Bill. I'm with you on 20 min. shopping time / yr.
I am totally NOT a "shopper".

Few years ago I visited my brother for a few days....morning came and he said "lets go...I need a new pair of shoes"....as God is my witness I went to Eight shoe stores with him humming and hewing over his purchase decisions....ended back at the FIRST (fricking) store and FINALLY buying his fricking shoes....SEVEN hours later! I was totally dumbfounded!

Turned out ok though cause he gave me much beer later.

I wouldn't buy shoes or pants online. I have to see how they fit and feel. That's just me. I'm also in the hate shopping camp. I go to one or two stores, find what I need and I'm done. I am always in fashion because I' a blue jean and t-shirt guy. My black suit that's about 11 years old now, serves it's function for weddings, funerals and more formal type affairs (that I try to avoid). Funny thing about when I go to a grocery store, after about 10 minutes instore, I get a deer in the headlights look on my face. My wife tries to talk to me or ask me something and I have to come out of the ozone to respond. A few of my friends report the same thing happens to them. La, la, la, la, la, la.
