Re: Holidays are coming!

It seems like layoffs are effecting lots of areas

Downsizing Christmas

Effective immediately, the following economy measures are to take place in the “Twelve Days of Christmas” subsidiary:

* The partridge
* The two turtle doves
* The four calling birds
* The five golden rings
* The six geese-a-laying
* The seven swans-a-swimming
* the eight maids-a-milking
* Nine ladies dancing
* Ten Lords-a-leaping
* Eleven pipers piping
* twelve drummers drumming
(thirteen lawyers-a-suing) action is pending. Lastly, it is not beyond consideration that deeper cuts may be necessary in the future to stay competitive. Should that happen, the Board will request management to scrutinize the Snow White Division to see if seven dwarfs is the right number.

Apparently the cost cutter is a Francophile, else why leave the Three French Hens out of the "slaughter?":notme:

Re: Holidays are coming!

Ever heard this one? Composed by Frederick Silver
Frederick Silver said:
The first day after Christmas
My true love and I had a fight
And so I chopped the pear tree down
And burnt it, just for spite
Then with a single cartridge
I shot that blasted partridge
My true love, my true love,
my true love gave to me.

The second day after Christmas
I pulled on the old rubber gloves
And very gently wrung the necks
Of both the turtle doves
My true love, my true love,
my true love gave to me.

On the third day after Christmas
My mother caught the croup
I had to use the three French hens
To make some chicken soup

The four calling birds were a big mistake
For their language was obscene

The five golden rings were completely fake
and turned my fingers green.

The sixth day after Christmas
The six laying geese wouldn't lay
So I sent the whole darn gaggle to the
A.S.P.C.A.

On the seventh day, what a mess I found
The seven swans-a-swimming all had drowned
My true love, my true love,
my true love gave to me.

The eighth day after Christmas
Before they could suspect
I bundled up the
Eight maids-a-milking
Nine ladies dancing
Ten lords-a-leaping
Eleven pipers piping
Twelve drummers drumming - well, actually I kept one of the dancing ladies -
And sent them back collect
I wrote my true love
"We are through, love!"
And I said in so many words
"Furthermore your Christmas gifts were for the Birds!"
You can hear how the tune goes by clicking on its name (on the left) here.

Re: Holidays are coming!

It (a debit card) is pre-paid in the sense you have prepaid the money into your account for the debit card to draw on.
A debit card can be overdrawn, causing huge overdraft fees. Happened to my daughter.

Must have been a Freudian slip. I edited my original posting with the following:

* The three French hens will remain intact. After all, everyone loves the French.

That should get me off the hook with any of our French friends.

My wife has the ads for the stores for the day after Thanksgiving. We are having Thanksgiving at our house for some of her family and 3 are staying overnight so they can head out at 4 in the morning. For those in the mood you can go to (I think this is correct) BlackFridayAds.com and see what all the Door Buster Specials are, so you can make your plans!!:D .
