lol…My last laugh of the night!

Peggy- I’m with De B….this has got to be my last laugh tonight. However, I can’t go to sleep without reading the rest. So, here I go…into the world of crafty critters.

A lady friend of mine has given me scratch-off lottery tickets before, and I think that’s a nice little gift if you’re not sure what to get someone. Not so nice if they win and snub you. Ha!

Yogi Berra maybe..”.I seldom frequent this place”….

Elaine- I posted this on another thread but you may not have seen it. The following comes from a source at the Treasury Department. Something to think about when we are doing our Christmas shopping: You may want to share this with people that you know of who intend to give gift cards around the holidays. They need to be sure the cards will be honored afterwards. They should deal with cards on hand and any other business they have with these stores and others. Stores that are planning to close after Christmas are still selling the cards through the holidays even though the cards will be worthless January 1. There is no law preventing them from doing this. On the contrary, it is referred to as ‘Bankruptcy Planning’. Below is a partial list of stores to be cautious about. Circuit City (filed Chapter 11) Ann Taylor- 117 stores nationwide closing Lane Bryant, Fashion Bug ,and Catherine’s to close 150 stores nationwide Eddie Bauer to close stores 27 stores and more after January Cache will close all stores Talbots closing down specialty stores J. Jill closing all stores (owned by Talbots) Pacific Sunwear (also owned by Talbots) GAP closing 85 stores Footlocker closing 140 stores more to close after January Wickes Furniture closing down Levitz closing down remaining stores Bombay closing remaining stores Zales closing down 82 stores and 105 after January Whitehall closing all stores Piercing Pagoda closing all stores Disney closing 98 stores and will close more after January. Home Depot closing some stores Macys to close 9 stores after January Linens and Things closing all stores Movie Galley Closing all stores Pep Boys Closing 33 stores Sprint/Nextel closing 133 stores JC Penney closing a number of stores after January Ethan Allen closing down 12 stores. Wilson Leather closing down all stores Sharper Image closing down all stores K B Toys closing 356 stores Lowes to close down some stores Dillard’s to close some stores I just want everyone to be careful with the gift cards. On the other thread someone suggested getting Visa cards that will be good anywhere. I hope this helps.
