The night before night before Christmas fun
Last night DH casually mentioned that he wanted a mini remote control
helicopter for Christmas. I calmly explained that he had not told Santa he wanted a remote control helicopter for Christmas and therefore he should not expect to find one in his stocking in a few days as Santa has done all the shopping she intends to do. So today we got up early and went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast and arrived at the mall at about the same time it opened. DH went to Brookstone and found the helicopter he wanted. He took it home and read the instructions. This things is just a little smaller than a chickadee. DH learned how to make it turn while it was sitting on a table and the cats showed some interest. When it took flight you'd have thought we released a live bird in the house. All four cats formed a semi-circle around DH and watched. When the helicopter crashed the ran over to check it out. DH picked it up and made a couple of adjustments and sent it flying again. Over and Over and Over for at least an hour. The cats never lost interest. Lacey got a little scared when it accidentally dive bombed her. DH couldn't get it to change course and it flew right by her face. This is the best $30 we've spent in quite awhile. Entertaining for everyone. Julie |

Thank you! Charlie is going through his "I really need to get a few more things for everybody, you tell me what" attack. I do not intend to leave this house again for anything short of natural disasters until sometime late Wednesday. So I've sent him off to look for miniature helicopters. It will get him out of my hair for the day. I really don't need him around dreaming up things I could be doing. His new antidepressants are starting to kick in, for which I really am thankful and grateful. I, however am not on nice new antidepressants and don't have any more energy than I did last week. Jake is taking a nap. There is a homemade apple pie in the oven. I think I deserve a nap too. Jo |

I've seen the commercial for that helicopter - it shows a *kid* playing with it! I guess it's for kids of all ages. Oh, and kitties, too.

Entertaining for everyone. Julie My husband has a couple of those helicopters. They are fun, but it is hard to fly them.... DH keeps crashing into things and cats - and ceiling fans. They are way too light to be flown outside - the slightest breeze and it's gone (or crashed). -- -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!

Entertaining for everyone. Marion's younger son brought us back a remote-controlled "Mushiking Hercules Beetle" from Hong Kong. You can direct it to crawl round the floor and open and close its mandibles. Our lot seem to think they ought to do something about it but can't quite figure out what. Ollie acts like it's too yucky to touch and Splodge let it grab his tail and hang on without making any attempt to shake it off. (Then again, Splodge is the only cat I've heard of who'll let slugs climb aboard him for a ride). ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/ for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 |
