GAWildKat Posted December 28, 2014 Share #26 Posted December 28, 2014 I got a new tablet, and some games both for pc and xbox, Mike got a new pc keyboard, and a tablet (still waiting on his tablet). His parents gave us a few odds and ends and a lot of high calorie snacks (I did mention I'm having gastric bypass in Feb, right? lol All in all it was a good Christmas, even if it seems we spent a lot of the time on the road. Hope everyone had a good Christmas as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hummingbird Posted December 29, 2014 Share #28 Posted December 29, 2014 Being the romatic sob that I am, "we" got a new electric range, Linda said the $700 one was OK but for a mere $300 more we got digital stuff and a convection oven and a new Dyson Vacuum. If you don't have a dyson and don't believe that guy on television, stop by and try ours - they are great ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share #29 Posted December 29, 2014 Some people love the Dyson. I'm not a huge fan and I've tried a couple as my brother in law owned a vacuum shop and sold them until he shut it down a few years ago. I did buy a new vacuum last year though and love it. Had never heard of it before but it's a Miele. I found it while searching for truly hypoallergenic vacuums. Not cheap but really does a great job.

I needed a new dishwasher and my brother in law works for a plumbing supply company. He got me a floor model for less than half the new cost. It is like the Ferrari of dishwashers!!!!!!!!!!

BuckShot Posted December 30, 2014 Share #36 Posted December 30, 2014 My family got to spend alot of time together this year. It was great having the daughter home for a few days. My son even spent a few days here even tho he lives only 8 miles away.... ( Think he was really enjoying his mom's cooking....LOL) We went overboard on the kids as usual. Wife got jewelery, tennis shoes, and cloths. She got me a Springfield XDM 40 cal. Guess after all these years, she knows me.....any gun, any cal., any barrel lengh.

I took picture to show but it won't upload here and there doesn't seem to be any way to downsize One free way to downsize big photos is to upload the photo to your Facebook page. No matter the size, Facebook will allow an upload and will then resize it to suit their requirements. Then download the resized pic back to your computer and post it here.

Not cheap but really does a great job. we weren't concerned about alergies but me being a critter sap I've managed to acquire 4 cats, one raised from 2 days old and the rest are indigent strays that we took in. wish I could load a video, the one raised from 2 days old is an outstanding cat. He sits up and begs for treats, catches treats with his 'hands' and in his mouth Anyway, the Dyson gets EVERYTHING out of the carpet and there is a secret to cleaning the filters also.

Evan Posted January 3, 2015 Share #49 Posted January 3, 2015 My Polaris slingshot, but it did arrive a couple days early. Saw my first one today at the Motorcycle Supershow here on Toronto. WOW, what an amazing looking machine. Much bigger than I imagined. Surprised Santa hasn't turned in his sled for a Slingshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
