What has 1572 tips, is 7-feet tall, and can be purchased at your local Wal-Mart for $79.98? The artificial Christmas tree I promised my Mum I'd put up for her this year.

Not only do you have to assemble the 1572 individual tips (which are actually on about a couple of hundred color coded branches or so-- which is the easy part), but you have to put together the holder and the staff which comes with assorted odd pieces. The kind where you end up with 3 extra thing-a-ma-bobs you never figure out where they belong.

What's more annoying about the box-o'-evergreen is that there are no instructions. Nothing but a perfectly adorned photo on the box of the finished fir unit.

Do I pour me a drink before or after the tree is put up?

It wasn't long after 9/11, September 11, 2001, that I began this website. I felt compelled to connect with other people around the globe. I had recently heard about "weblogs" or "blogs" and I dove right into Blogger.com. I searched for others to connect with online and I found Ageless. It led to meeting many great friends to discuss events of the day. From then on it snowballed. Most importantly we offered one another support and friendship across the globe; finding that we were just a few keystrokes away.
