A gentle reminder for "the season"

[<null]

Actually, I am on call from Wednesday thru Sunday, taking shifts for my colleagues. They reciprocate later in the year.

Funny thing is, I've worked with many non-Christians, but none have ever turned down a Christmas bonus. Or insisted they come to work that day. The check is always cashed.

Well, Happy Thursday to you ! Ed [e-mail]

[Bay Area Dave]

colleagues? Is that what you call your cellmates?

And for those who don't wish to have a Merry Christmas...don't.

I am sorry for whatever has you feeling so poorly; but it is just an expression, like "how are you?" If the person likes saying it, what does it cost you to let it pass?

And... what does it have to do with woodworking?

Oh and don't forget... we don't all follow the same calendar so don't you dare wish just anyone a happy new year...you know.. it may just be Time of the Rat or something like that...

Merry CHRISTmas and if I don't see you Happy Easter too.

So? I don't get offended by all the Christmas stuff. I even call it "Christmas" instead of insisting on calling it something else. We celebrate on the 25th because everyone else does, but today is actually the big day for us. Bright days ahead from now until June. I'm stoked! I hate the dark half of the year.

The intolerance exhibited in this thread is staggering, but thankfully not universal.

Now, ya'll go out a blow a bunch of money or else people around you won't feel loved. Besides, as Bushie put it, go out and spend money, or else the terrorists win.

I am deeply offended by your mentioning gravity. For you see, I step on the scale every once in awhile and this "gravity" concept is surely spawned from the depths of hell. Please refrain from mentioning gravity anymore.

Which you state ONLY after posting a bunch of statistics :-).

By the way, how is Saskabush this winter season?

Say, yer not that insomniac-agnostic-dyslexic that stays up all night wondering if there really is a dog, are ye?

Nah, I didn't think so.

There's more than one???

Regretfully. :|

[Dave Balderstone]

Why don't you keep your intolerance to yourself, then?

Tolerance does not mean acceptance, BTW.

I am intolerant of the intolerant.

Damn, stuck on a Mobius strip again . . .

[Dave Balderstone]

Oh, goodie! Let's start *that* thread again!

No snow, and it was above freezing today.

I want -10C and about 6 feet of snow in the next 4 days...

Anyone who doesn't care about Christmas is free to ignore it.

Have to taken a look around lately?!? You must have thick glaucoma. I do try to . . .
