Sheesh, I knew I shouldn't have had that last glass of wine.
I have no idea what I'm looking at there, and why is the room going round?
Seasons greetings to one and all, I shall be silent running for a while.

That really wasn't Fear... It was Paranoia; Because 7 was moving up, not down. the only way 7 could reach 6, was to fall.

While the upper portion of the tree seems to be CDs, all of the rest is made of hard drive disks, they don't exhibit the iridiscence of a CD and they have a metallic shine at the edges, which CDs don't have; in the end it looks like years of keeping junk finally served a purpose.

And it shows this person stayed home for the hollydays, Good for him !

Winifred's post Xmas "Miracle, make all your fat vanish in 14 days, diet" had a surprising effect.
