Don't forget, the only real rules are basically golden. help out your Santa by putting some things on your wishlist.

You can get them books from your particular faith, but don't be a jerk, make sure there are also books that they would actually like to read. Dont get an orthodox guy a Joel Osteen book or a Lutheran a Calvinist book just to be petty.

Christmas ends on epiphany, but try not to be the last (its usually me thats late anyway.)

deadline to sign up is on the first day of advent!!

If this was the politics board gift exchange I would guess that the low turnout could be blamed on poor access to internet for the January 6th rioters in Federal custody.

Honestly, it seems like this board has deteriorated over the last year, as we've seen more F16 types come over. Many may have simply left or are taking breaks.

I still lurk a lot. I just don't have a lot to say and am really busy with work and family.

I also have grown weary of the division amongst us all. No matter what one posts, it can be utilized as a pejorative. Agree with someone on the left you're a dirty lib
Agree with someone in the right you're a F16'er
Don't agree with either you're a Concerned moderate…
Don't want the most recent vaccine… you're a loon or a free some fighter
Got the vax youRe a sheep or fascist…
All of which I listed above, I am guilty of as well.

I'm just really tired of it all, and reflecting on how I can only really influence my children and closest circle And try to live the gospels as much as I can. Which is reallly really really hard and I fail spectacularly at times.

Everyone post their booze preferences!

Beer- porters and stouts
Liquor- dark rum and whiskey
Wine- dry whites

Next question- how do you ship booze in Texas? The laws for that are really dumb

I don't mind sharing here also. Not everyone journeys over to the GB and lives to tell about it.
First escalator ride, and dippin dots experience.
Oldest was all into the game cheering and whooping.
Youngest of the group crashed before we got out of BCS.

Overall a great day and wonderful memories.

Ive looked. Found a couple of apps that will deliver beer similar to Instacart. But nothing that is simple.. other than beer of month clubs etc.


Also- I've ordered snd sent gifts to my recipient. They should be wrapped…. St least I think I checked that box. Anywho. Hope they arrive today as the tracker shows

Christian books or beer and wine. If Beto wins, you can add pot to the equation.

Nothing wrong with beer. Nothing wrong with wine. Nothing wrong with Christian books. Nothing wrong with weed.

No need to participate though, if you don't wish.
