Can she come to our house and get our tree to just not fall down? I'm so sick and tired of my tree falling down every [expletive] n' year.

So is every woman required to sell Rodan and Fields these days? This has gotta be some big scam right?

What do you think?
He voice is indeed magical. It can induce headaches and intense pride equally.

Usually driving slow if they are behind me or driving the same speed if they are next to me and clearly want to pass the person in front of them. There's a JJs right outside my work and every day at lunch they are driving in and out of there like complete maniacs cutting people off, making illegal u turns, the whole bit. I enjoy little slices of revenge whenever I can.

Obvious & simplistic response jim but have you tried a larger tree stand?

New stand means new tree. It's all one piece. Did I mention lights included?

I think my wife paid $20 for it the day after xmas a few years ago. It's not really what you would call a quality item.

Here it is last year, in it's most natural state apparently:

That would sooooo not work in our house wart. We go the real tree route and cut one down. This year's had to be trimmed at the top to fit the 9 ft. ceiling. Hubby has a tendency to pick the biggest, fullest tree he can find! It is beautiful though. Up but not decorated as of yet.
