1. Can you 'splain "reyd reid reed"
You said anything. I've been curious what that means.

3. Doesn't mean anything.
Except that I have a remarkable lack of imagination.

One of 'em is my name spelled backwards. The other two are there because they all sound alike and I like 3s.

4. Nope.
Not yet. They're worthy of a special occasion. Either that or a day when I'm in the mood to stomp something. Or someone.

:)

7. Why are you still awake?
Perhaps that will give me some insight into why I still am...oh, second question...are you on the East Coast...?because it is not so late out there in CA...which would then invalidate your answer...or my question...whichever...

9. Heh...I'm still at work
I should go home but I don't really want to. It's quieter here. And I'm not on either coast...I'm in the middle. Mountain time, so it's only 1 a.m. which isn't too unreasonable.

11. What's the name of that absolutely excellent
toy store in Colorado Springs? My mom was there last week and dropped about $400 on gifts for my three-year-old nephew. :hi:

16. No idea.
My mom talks so fast when I have her on the phone, that I can hardly get in a question edgewise. She said it's the best toy store she's ever been in and, having raised three kids and spoiled two grandsons, she thinks of herself as something of an "expert" on toy stores. :eyes:

My though was, if it's really a great toy store, I could order my nephew's Christmas gift from there. :hi:

:hug: :loveya:

17. Sounds like it might be Little Richards
It's a pretty cool place, not like the chains. It's an independent toy store and they've got some of the niftiest stuff in there.

I'm not seeing a website, though.

22. Thanks, gf.
I may have to resort to ordering from FAO Schwarz again this year. I just refuse to buy my nephew's Christmas stuff here, pack it up and ship it overseas. Maybe I'm just lazy. :P

25. Nah...
It makes more sense to order it and have it shipped. Probably gets there faster, too. Plus there's that international postage...it's probably less expensive to have it shipped directly. And, since most places will gift wrap, then you're all set.

I'll try and see what I can find out as far as websites (I might just be missing it) or whatever.

15. Okay, now I'm intrigued.
I've been really busy with work this week (hooray), plus I've been hanging out in GD a lot (I can handle it!), so haven't been around the lounge much. Whatever is going on, hope things are okay.

:hug:

18. Ooooh...you're a brave soul
Nah...just some things that have been simmering for a while might finally be boiling over and what sucks is that now I'm the one on the defensive.

At least maybe a resolution is at hand. And that's usually a good thing, even if getting there's tough.

:hug:

19. I know exactly what you mean, rrr
I'm kind of in the same place. It's exciting and scary at the same time. And yes, the getting there can be tough, even if ultimately it's a good thing.

27. Oh, we have fun
Although I'm usually gone by now.

And...welcome to DU. I've got a smiley somewhere but I'm too tired to go looking for it. Forgive me?

And thanks...stuff has a way of straightening out one way or another, it's just a matter of how.

:hug;
