What if you had no clothes and someone handed you a tee-shirt....would the face on it matter?

NOOOO! I love Emeril!

(And back in the day, I loved Graham Kerr "the Galloping Gourmet" and Yan Can Cook...).

Food Network junkie here...maybe we need to start our own thread?

It is along the same lines of those plastic grocery bags showing up in the extreme arctic.

i remember MY cardbord box days. in fact, refuse to grow up!

P.S. when i was little the toy i wanted most was building blocks and other such things, i think they are still Hanna Montana & high school free!

Try magnets. The bar ones where always a favorite

i HATE bratz

to bratz! i wish i were not growing up in this day and time. i am the odd ball basically, i never watched Hanna Montana in my life,or high school musical,or much T.V. for that matter, i prefer to read books. i am glad i am homeschooled, the only time that i ever get pressured to do this stuff is at Co-Op,once i was told that i look like a character from Hanna Montana,

then she asked me what my favorite show is and i told them "none of the shows." that shocked them a whole lot, then once some one asked if i had a T.V. in my room

, "i don't, but my little brother does." she nearly did this

on the spot! i have a radio in my room, but i have no desire to listen to Disney channel, the shows my little brother watches are on Boom, they are all the cartoons from the 60's & 70's & 80's, witch are a whole lot better than the ones that they have now! i love jonny quest too...

My wife goes way overboard for our 6-year-old boy demon-child at Christmas and birthdays. He usually ignores the toys and plays with the boxes.

And I'm convinced that the present he'd appreciate and use above all others would be a dump-truck load of dirt.

I am seriously thinking about that for my 2 yr old's next birthday.

He loves the outdoors and anything he can shovel/scoop to fill a bucket or a truck with.

Hey Prissy, My son is two, too! We're getting him a Hess style fire truck (he loves trucks) and a microphone....he loves to sing and dance. It is hilarious.

I hate all the writing and faces on toys and clothes too. I had to settle for sunglasses with Diego on them cause I couldn't find anything else...anywhere!

We buy most of our clothes at yard sales but Im still picky and have managed to scrounge together a magnificent wardrobe.

My MIL just texted...what size is he now

last year we got Thomas the train overalls

I told her this year it is very important to buy stock in his college fund. It may never be this low ever again and the investment in a must. So that's the route we're going. Maybe we'll celebrate Christmas with no toys..the way it should be...then when everything is on sale, I'll give the kids some cash for a fun shopping spree
