I'm gifting baked goods this year to a few people I don't care to spend money on. I plan on chocolate chip bar cookies, sugar cookies with cutesy decorations, rice krispie treats, and maybe red velvet cake balls.

Which would you prefer?

Rice Krispies

I'm sort of afraid my in-laws will be majorly catty about it and not think it's a *real* gift. Have you ever given baked goods around the holidays? Were they appreciated?

To those of you who have been enjoying my Celebrating Ten picspams, I'm very sorry, but Photobucket has disabled my images.

I have a free account there, you see, and there's a monthly bandwidth limit of 10GB, which has been exceeded. I could get the images back, but only if I upgrade to a paid account. which I'm unable to do.

I've also received a very bad piece of family news -- my father has terminal cancer. I was hoping to be able to use doing the commentary on the picspams as a distraction, but I guess I'll have to come up with something else.

I do plan to continue the picspams, but I can't do so until Jan. 6, when my bandwidth usage will reset to zero and the images will be restored.

Again, I'm sorry.

Tell me three things you think I would never write and I will attempt to write at least a paragraph from one of them.

(if I'm not distracted with The Five Things That Never Happened to Astrid Farnsworth and the One That Did... Astrid, Weather Goddess, anyone?)

We're having an Indian-style Christmas feast! What would you like to see on the table?

Who would win in a fight: Lizzie Borden or Anne Frank?

Where's HSS?

ETA: are the moderators of tqc_anon on vacation?

I've been dating my boyfriend for almost six months. I was excited for our first xmas together. Today was my birthday and we exchanged gifts. I got him a coffee maker, gym bag and tshirt (all things he mentioned that he wanted) and he got me a gift card. I pretended it was great but really I was pissed.

Am I right to feel hurt and annoyed?

Post the youtube video that makes you laugh the most?

Where is your best friend?

Supernatural fans,
Are there any actual female characters from the show that you like? I think it's a given that most everyone likes Ellen.

I always loved the original Ruby, back when she was blonde & sassy. Also I liked what they did to Jo when they brought her back, especially in the last episode.

What color are your city's street name signs?

Ours are white.

How long have you been on LiveJournal?


Who or what made you come here?


What was your first LJ name?

Okay, I am really starting to feel the pang of not buying new albums/ music. For the longest time, I haven't bought CD's because I've been broke. And now I'm not broke and can buy CD's but they are outdated, they get scratched and they annoy me so that brings me to the whole new world of iPods or mp3s and all that. I have no idea what I am doing, what the differences are, what's available...I feel overwhelmed! I am starting my Google research now and figured you fine young people can help me in my endeavor. What do I need to know? I am not an Apple person but I hear that you can have an iPod without an Apple and then there is iTunes. Is there another market other than Apple for these things that is better that I don't know about?

My basic need/ want is a device I can take with me everywhere and plug into my stereo at work/ home/ car and just down load all of my music to it. Like, 50 albums I'm thinking. Once I download, can I erase? If I download an entire album, can I erase the songs I don't want to make room for more? There array of iPods one can buy is seriously overwhleming - where do I even start??? ...and any other tidbits of info you think might be helpful to a newbie are appreciated!

ETA: I'm looking at an iPod Nano....it seems simple enough - and totally pretty. Think this would serve me needs?
