Are advent calendars supposed to be opened 1 to 25 or 25 to 1?

Is it a count up or a count down?

Hell Pizza gave me one for... well, eating too much pizza probably.

I guess it'll give up its yummy little chocolates either way.

apparently, the closest location is in Vancouver

which, according to google maps, is only 2,143 miles

is this miraculous chocolate-filled calendar worth the drive?

^ Neither of you have seen them before? :confused: I see them here in the stores. They're not common, but they're not exactly rare either.

Maybe I need to buy a few and ship them to you midwestern folk for the holidays? ::p:

I hate this. Been waiting all day for a phonecall that will probably never come because he forgot. I have like a one day window to go pick something up before I have to wait a whole other week, if not longer.

Damnit.

Always feel very depressed at the weekends. I just sit here at the computer all day, nothing to do really, no-one to go out with or talk to (except parents, but I'm too old to be living with them any more). Just feel very lethargic and lacking any kind of energy.

Why is takeaway food so crap? Tampopo does street food in a fraction of a second and it's not much effort.

It just dawned on me today why I've been feeling extra depressed lately, besides the whole "I hate it here" feeling. My dog's death anniversary is coming up. I always get depressed towards Thanksgiving since then. It's been 4 years, you'd think I'd be over it by now. No, not really. ::(: I don't think I've ever felt this way about a pet before, so sad. I've had pets die, but this one always gets me, every year. I think why I was so attached to him in the first place is because he was there for me at my hardest time. He was always there. He was the only one who knew there was something wrong. Funny how pets can do that, sense your emotions....

Okay, I'm going to stop now. I'm probably gonna sob all over my keyboard if I continue.

When I was a child I had a dog that I dearly loved...

My Mother was mentally-ill and hospitalized off and on all my years growing up.... If it had not been for my wonderful "Lady" (my dog) I may have ended up like her...I realize now as an adult how much a pet can take up the slack, so to speak, for vital things you don't get from family members.

I'll try to keep this short.

When I was in the fourth grade, my Mother once again was institutionalized & my Father gave my precious Lady to one of his Buddies and left me and my two older sister with his parents (our Grandparents), that lived on a farm in the country. Now I had no-one. I stopped going places and if not at school I sat in front of the tv. This lasted for 2 yrs. during this time, my Grandfather told me if I wanted to see Lady he would take me. I was so excited, I jumped up and went. When I got there she was not the dog I had known. She was the center of this family that had several children and a swimming pool. She live in the house with them and was adored. She didn't even act as if she knew who I was. I think that day is the day I decided I was totally unworthy..something was so bad about me that no one could possibly ever want me.

I never ever considered having another dog for years. Never even got my son a pet while he grew up. It just never occurred to me. I realized why about a year ago, when I knew inside I should get a dog for myself for companionship... I was afraid to love another dog the way I had Lady.

I got a little dog, his name is peanut, and I'm his mum.... I love him and he takes up a lot of the slack.. just like Lady did.

I told you this story so you might consider getting yourself a dog or cat maybe. No.. a pet cannot take the place of a spouse or children or friends.. But there is nothing like it and I don't know how to describe the feeling. I just love him and know how much more lonely than I am now, I would be, without him.

Maybe you could try again and love another dog.. Take a chance.

I'm SO not looking forward to my work christmas party. I'm really trying to figure out how to survive to that without getting the official reputation of the one who was bored to death from the beginning to the end and almost didn't say a word and was awkward all along.

At least I know everyone here knows what I'm talking about - which is nice because everyone I tried to talk to about it in RL totally didn't get it.
