Offline Well, I’ve had an exciting two hours of it!…
I was sitting in my room minding my business, peppering one of my friends with Pink Floyd factoids, when I heard an enormous CRASH! and quantities of shattering glass from the living room. Little Girl started yelling; I jumped up and found the Christmas tree lying supine on the floor, surrounded by a puddle of water, assorted fallen needles, and splinters of what were formerly ornaments.
I then had to hold the tree upright for about thirty minutes as the remaining ornaments were removed, the broken glass swept up, the water mopped. But then we had to dry up the water underneath the tree-stand, so after extensive debate we ended up toppling it over on its side again (slowly and without breaking things). Whereupon my mother discovered that there were only about three inches of tree-trunk clear of branches, whilst the tree-stand was about seven inches deep; not to mention that the bottom itself wasn’t straight, and caused the whole tree to lean badly. We suspected that unevenness was what made it unstable, so we had to trim the branches up (which we apparently neglected to do before the whole fiasco of decorating and whatnot) and straighten the bottom out. The whole ordeal from start to finish took about an hour and a half.
Lesson learned: Get the trunk sorted out properly before you erect it in your living-room!

Offline We might get a small tree, but we don’t have anything big, which we shouldn’t, as the people who live in my house are 49, 48, and 53, so if we buy each other presents, we’re not putting it under a stupid tree.
Maybe you should try posting more.

Offline Twenty years ago we drove out to Pennsylvania to a tree farm and cut down our first tree, tied it to the roof of the car and sang Christmas songs all the way back to NYC. The next morning we all – me, Mrs. Ramon, and our oldest daughter – awoke suffering from massive allergies. Puffy eyes, stuffy noses, sore throats. I reluctantly tossed the tree to the curb and we drove out to Sears where we found a realistic-looking fake tree on clearance – half off of half off if I remember correctly. I was still in school and we were always broke, so $50 for this fake tree was a big deal for us, but we did it. With lights and decorations, it looked very nice…it didn’t give us allergy attacks, it didn’t dry out, and it never had to be tied to a wall with fishing line to stay upright…
And tonight it is sitting in our living room, decorated with lights but not yet the ornaments, which will wait until the girls come home from college in a couple weeks…Best $50 I ever spent…that tree is practically a member of our family, and every year we are asked what farm or tree lot it came from…

Oh, by “school” I meant “grad school!” I was in my 20’s at the time!

Not that anyone asked but I have an HNC in Web Design (or whatever the correct name is, some convoluted nonsense where words are thrown in for no reason) and an HNC in Social Care. I also undertook HNC Business Admin but found it to be a total bore so ended up attending solely for the student loan payments (got me 8 days hoiday in Liverpool during course term) and therefore failing to get the qualification. No idea why I took the HNC course when I hated the class in 6th year and never attended.

I can’t believe how many of you went to college. For me, I’ve never even been to high school, as I stayed back twice and dropped out shortly after my 16th birthday while I was still in 8th grade.

Cool I have a FETAC/HNC in Business Admin, which I did for fun (said the nerd). At the minute I’m doing an Honours’ Bachelor Degree Commerce and German with an evening diploma in French (which I am in my final year of) with the hope of being somehow able to do a double-degree next year (unheard of in Ireland).
I’m in the middle of exams at the minute. I have German, Accounting, Maths and French done and have Business Information Systems, Microeconomics and Management left-eww.
