- i can't believe you don't just come home with a tree. *ta da!* "look honey, i got us an awesome tree, and a fab bottle of wine to drink - Andie Oct 25, 11:34 4
  - Sound slike it is more that he wants a tree corpse, she wants a tree for Christmas. -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 11:38 3
    - You mean she wants a bunch of plastic masquerading as a real tree... -- nm - Stephen Oct 25, 11:58 2
      - No, she wants a real Christmas tree. -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 11:59 1

        ditto. i have no problem with fake trees, i get the convenience, but a little watering and one big sweep and vaccuum session isn't really the end of - Andie Oct 25, 11:55 6

        you can get trashbags for trees, they are like tarps, lay tree over, roll it up and out you go -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 25, 12:07
        
        I had some a-hole try and throw his half cut up tree down the garbage chute last year. - Krusty Oct 25, 12:02
        
        oh, yeah. that happens. :) - Andie Oct 25, 12:01 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Two big garbage bags will do the trick. You'll still have a bit of a mess in the apt. from putting it in - Krusty Oct 25, 12:04
        
        My issue with real trees is that the tree lots are frickin' insane and prices are crazy. Around here anyway. -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 11:54 4
        
        I think I paid somewhere between $60 and $80 the last few years. -- nm - Krusty Oct 25, 11:56
        
        IKEA! $20 trees. (if you buy them from other lots the nice ones start at about $40) -- nm - Andie Oct 25, 11:55 2
        
        Wow. I'm going to see if our local IKEA sells trees. Thanks Andie. -- nm - lileve Oct 25, 12:05
        
        (around here. i know in places in the south they cost a FORTUNE.) -- nm - Andie Oct 25, 11:56
  - Quit being old fashioned. - Spawn Oct 25, 11:45 3
    - no. -- nm - znufrii Oct 25, 11:54 1
      - Okay, no tree for you! -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 11:54
    - Many complexes still ban real trees around here. - Beryllium Oct 25, 11:53
  - or as wrong as suggesting a vibrator as a thank you gift for a really nice coworker -- nm - ceregon Oct 25, 11:40 16
    - znufrii didn't post that. -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 11:42
    - aren't you the guy who posted.... -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 11:41 14
      - yeah, in an IM with a warning in the subject - ceregon Oct 25, 11:43
      - That doesn't mean he can't want real advice sometimes. - ty97 Oct 25, 11:43 12
        
        ST is nothing if not repetitive. - znufrii Oct 25, 11:45 1
        
        ST is nothing if repetitive not. - tRuMaN Oct 25, 11:48
        
        rule #1 of ST. If you ask a question, you will always get snarky responses. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 11:44 4
        
        And if you'd posted this as your response rather than "aren't you the guy who...." I would have had no comment. -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 11:50 3
        
        well, it seemed he was arguing about limits of taste. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 11:51 2
        
        I don't read every ceregon thread ever posted, but I figure he feels rather pidgeon-holed at this point. - ty97 Oct 25, 11:54 1
        
        that thread looked pretty tame to me. - loosilu Oct 25, 11:57
        
        Of course not...but it does mean that more than likely, he will always get snarky responses to questions like that. -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 11:44 3
        
        and it doesn't even matter who you are. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 11:44 2
        
        Word. And when it's something like THAT...well, expect it worse than usual. - Jim Oct 25, 11:46 1
        
        see Rule #1, above. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 11:46
        
        Your IM is very close to how I see ST now -- nm - ceregon Oct 25, 11:44
  - meh. too messy. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 11:39
- Not at all. Now having a wardrobe is silly but my 3 chis if its cold out and dont have clothes they lose too much body heat. -- nm - Capstern Oct 25, 11:36
- It's not clothes. It's a little saddle. Part of the corgi legend is that they were steeds for the court of faerie and the markings on their sides... - ceregon Oct 25, 11:34 2
  - Sunday I did a 5k for rescue animals. One little dog had a jockey on his back, another had a bronco rider. -- nm - jnine Oct 25, 11:45
  - *grants exemption* - Spawn Oct 25, 11:36
- Lindsay was wearing clothes at last check. -- nm - budice Oct 25, 11:33
- Mine has hair that we keep short. In cold weather she wears a coat. That is the extent of clothes for her. -- nm - lileve Oct 25, 11:33
- You don't mean that. -- (link) - ty97 Oct 25, 11:32 [Image] 1
  - Yeah. If I had a shotgun... -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 11:35
- Word. Speaking of...at a Scout event last week, someone brought their chihuahua in a little shirt. As it got later, they took off the little shirt - Jim Oct 25, 11:32 21
  - oh, i'm laughing -- nm - Andie Oct 25, 11:37 1
    - I told her that when she woke up and that dog had shit in her bed, she deserved every bit of it. -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 11:38
  - My kids are 2lbs 3 lbs and 4.5 lbs - if cold they need warm heat holding in clothing. -- nm - Capstern Oct 25, 11:36 9
    - Yeah, as you live in North Dakota, I can see that. - Spawn Oct 25, 11:39 8
      - Actually winter winds here in TX can get pretty cold. Any anything under 60 can be hard on the kids -- nm - Capstern Oct 25, 11:43 7
        
        Yet there are dogs around here that live outdoors and we get below zero F at night. -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 11:46 6
        
        a chiuahua would probably die in that. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 11:47 5
        
        Yeah. a 2lb chihuhua would probably die after a few hours in 40ish - short coat, no under coat and little ability to make heat -- nm - Capstern Oct 25, 11:48 4
        
        Wait, yours are chihuhuas? Oh. Thought you had chows or something. -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 11:52 2
        
        Oh no all 6 were chihuahus. I kept Klepto (3lb), Chibi (1.9lb) and Chloe and (4.5lb) -- nm - Capstern Oct 25, 11:53 1
        
        those aren't dogs. those are hamsters -- nm - decline Oct 25, 11:56
        
        and small body size matters. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 11:49
  - Well, a chihuahua is more of a rat than a dog, with less fur. - Spawn Oct 25, 11:34 8
    - Now the ex was nuts about this. The 6 kids had many matching outfits and their own small wardrobe -- (link) - Capstern Oct 25, 11:41 [Image] 7
      - you know they aren't actual kids, right? -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 11:42 6
        
        Yes I know they are pets. I cant have children so I do love them like little furry people but not to - Capstern Oct 25, 11:44 5
        
        I'll let that go, but the wardrobe is insane. Divorce worthy right there. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 11:45 4
        
        Well at the point she had so many clothes that it was a good investment to keep the crap organized but sheesh -- nm - Capstern Oct 25, 11:49 3
        
        if you've already bought insane amounts of stupid, useless, clothes, sure. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 11:50 2
        
        well yeah. You should see how much when you have 6 kids. and there is a sale and they all need to match - Capstern Oct 25, 11:55 1
        
        dude. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 11:59
