The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

One of my Christmas presents was a DVD of Maleficent. Watched it this afternoon. It was o.k. I guess, but I didn't think it was great. I did enjoy some of the sets and special effects; those definitely added to the movie.

I saw it at the theatre three times. Loved it!
Did you at least find Angelina Jolie mesmerizing?

So, @donaldtoo , remember recently we were discussing credit card balances, etc. (especially after all the holiday shopping! ), well I figured out last night that I'll have my holiday gifts paid off in January, versus February. That's better than last year for me.

Anyway, thought you'd find this amusing: this morning, I decided to get my act together for next year's Christmas shopping spree, by finally, opening up a Christmas Club account. (I figured at least if I saved even half of what I projected I'd spend on gifts next year, I'd still be well ahead of the game.) So I went to my savings bank and told the teller that I'd like to open up a Christmas Club account. (MinnieM123 pats herself on the back . . . ) So, the teller then informs me that they don't have Christmas Club accounts anymore!! Can you stand it??!! After all these years I finally went to open up one of these accounts and they did away with them??!!

So the teller suggested that I could open up another regular savings account and "call it my Christmas Club account" . . . not . . .

Hahaaa...!
Just stash it in your mattress. It'll earn about the same interest...!

Figures.

Take the cash each check and just stash it in your safety deposit box. Not like the bank awards interest these days anyhow.

HAAA!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

I get that. Wow. We have two banks and both have deposit boxes. Ours is $35 but on a whole everything on the East Coast except gasoline is higher priced than it is here.

Speakin' of gas prices, it's as low as $1.79, just a few miles down the road.

That restaurant gift is a great idea! I might steal that in the future.

Yep, we've given and received restaurant gift cards many times.

The problem is, some of the glorious "examples" of "faithful" individuals.. are those who instantly insulted him and told him to die.. etc..

Reminds me on how many people from all religions.. claims to be faithful and never follow what they are teached.

I was unaware of that, but it doesn't surprise me. I grew up around a lot of that. My post was definitely not defending any of that. Any bets on how many more times I say "that?"

Nope, we have 'em here, too.

EEEWWWW

Why "EEEWWWW?" They're two grown adults who have found that special spark of love and cherish each other's company. If they put a smile on each other's face every day just by being together I say God Bless them.

Just my opinion.

It's $1.84 here. Christmas morning it was $1.71. Of course I didn't need it then.

 

[JenniferS]

About $5.30
($1.40/litre x 3.785 l/gallon)
