What do you guys want or expect this christmas?


Im looking forward to some new music cd's and head unit for my car.

With the money I make from working like a mad man I plan on buying myself Headers & Suspension.

(This woman came into my work with 10 rolls of film and said to be "Happy" I smirked and said.. "My holiday cheer left with my first job" :lol: )

Free weights, my weight machine was good for me about 6 years ago and I'm not a big guy.

A computer printer, just because I don't have one for this computer.

An optical mouse, because when you are using photoshop and the ball on the mouse gets stuck its extremely irritating.

Rain X, just keep forgetting to buy it myself.

Car buffer, my brother tied up the dog next to my car for several hours and the dog jumped on my car scratching up the sail panel, fender and hood.

High powered shotgun, see previous.

Random CDs, because rocking out is good.

What I want:
Digital Camera (Olympus C-750 4MP Digital Camera w/ 10x Optical Zoom)
LCD Monitor (Dell 193FP 19" LCD) - actually I'd prefer the 19" Ultrasharp, but it's $200 more, I figure I have abetter chance getting this than I do that lol.
Printer/Copier (HP OfficeJet 6110 All-in-One Multifunction)
Hair dryer (preferably one with a cool setting)
GC Kohls, Best Buy/CompUSA, Amazon.com

For the first 3 items, the cost of them is ~ $1000

What I'm actually getting:
Dad's giving me $500 within the next week for whatever. Ihave to buy at least one present for myself to stick under the tree the night before, but I can use the rest to buy all my other gifts.
Mom's probably giving me gift certificates to Kohl's
My Aunt will give me ~$200 in cash
My grandmother will give me a check for $50.

It's no fun when I know what I'm gettin. Oh well.

it's definitely cheaper for apartments here as well no doubt, but you have to watch. There's no way to say this delicately but if you live in a cheap apartment, you're gonna have the type of people around who live in cheap apartments, you know? The apartment I was in before I bought my house, when I moved into the property it was a higher end range apartment where they had credit and income guidelines to get in. They dropped those requirements, and they lowered rent, and within 18 months the place was a ********. People's unwatched kids running all over all times of the day, damage to the common areas like the hallways, people having stereo wars and parties at all times of the night consistently, etc.

make yourself a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies (make sure you have milk first tho :lol: ) Â*You'll feel much better. Â*If that doesnt work, go out and buy the Led Zepplin BBC Sessions album, load "Whole lotta love" into your xbox, and play project gotham racing 2 with that song in the background. Trashing an enzo in russia to the sound of american classic rock...theres something theraputic about it.

a red rider bb gun

you'll shoot your eye out, kid!

Seeing as I no longer have a car worth spending money on, I'll be requesting items related to my other hobby - paintball.

1. Palmer Stabilizer - keeps gun shooting consistently
2. Custom milling - take off that damn front grip on my gun.
3. Gas-thru Magazine - no, not a reading magazine....an ammo clip that the gas line goes through.
4. Camouflage clothing - i just need some camo pants, i already have a shirt.
5. Case or two of paintballs

depends on where you live. you don't have to live in the sticks to buy a house for $73k (now worth $165K) with yearly taxes only slightly over 2k. i get by monthly for about $800, which is considerably less than most apartment rents. and people think you need to have big bucks to afford a house...

anyway, i want a dual-angle mitre saw with laser sights - the kitchen cabinet doors need overhauling. i also want a variable speed control buffer (but not because of any brother or any dog - which would definitely need a shotgun to deal with (first the dog, then the brother)). games for my gamecube or an upgrade to an xbox would be cool.

you said it right there yourself. You can't buy a place there for 73k anymore i'm sure where you are.

but that's not bad, you're not all that far off of where i am. You probably just got in at the right time a few years back I'm guessing. The difference is you can still get deals like that here.

And I'm far from in the sticks. the Allentown/Bethlehem/Easton area of pa is definitely some of the highest property value in pa because of proximity to nyc and philly, not to mention it's one of the more populated areas in general. I think a lot of people have the impression that all of pa is farms and woods, not this area at all.

i know where you are, and i can remember when it was sticks. my bad. i know not all of PA is sticks, just thought you were in them.

yep, it was the right time. as you can see from the approximate value now, it's not very easy to do anymore in this vicinity. but, the deals can still be had. handy with a hammer and saw? can you plaster and paint? throw a roof on a joint? yeah, you can still find the fixer-uppers.

the only thing that hasn't changed much recently is the taxes. and considering one of the neighbor towns (TR) they can be unbelievable. i've heard they start around 4k per year, double what i am paying now.

I was going to buy a house about a year and a half ago but then I got a new job and couldn't get a good mortgage because of the job switch, I was told you should be at a job for at least 6 months before applying for a mortgage. I could kick myself in the ass now that the prices have gone up, the places I looked at then compared to now(same areas, same type of house) are about $75,000 more expensive. And the taxes.....grrrr. Stupid New Jersey. I've recently been looking at some HUD homes, a family friend is involved in the resell aspect of them. Some of the HUD homes are ridiculous, need way too much work, but some of them aren't too bad. I'm just waiting for the right one in the right area to pop up and then I'll be fixing up my house! I helped my dad build an extension into the garage to add a laundry room onto the inside of the house, so I can handle fixing up a house! (as long as dad helps!) I just love New Jersey despite this, I don't think I could ever leave!
