I was researching when the first artificial tree was made:

Artificial Christmas tree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paper is just paper and the reality to that is the fact paper is worthless.

Metal on the other hand is valuable because you can do things with metal.

With metal you can fill a tooth, make tools, use in machines, etc.

I think the only time paper could ever be conceived as valuable, is when only one tree is left standing.

Not sure what you are asking exactly.

Ten Trillion Billion Million Dollars!

If you don't want to join paypal or utilize any of the payment processors, you can choose to cash out by check.
However, since you are in the country you are in, you may want to look into the fees that it cost you to cash
the check.

Well, paper is worthless, you see. It's that frame of mind or I should say 'minds' that is going to eventually
break away from money altogether. Metal is worth more than paper and that's a big part of what they base
it on. A lot of people don't like the idea of doing away with the paper dollar and replacing it with metal.

Some times I wonder how people can be so blind. I realize part of it is the new generations because they are
young and have not experienced life without the technology we have today.

In other words, what I am saying is, the Bible plainly predicts all these things that have been coming to pass.

The excuse will be 'paper is worthless' 'metal can be stolen' 'credit card fraud' 'bank fraud' 'internet fraud'
'cell phone theft' ....... and that will be the excuse to do away with money period. Stick a 666 code in the
palms of the right hand and the head. OH, and don't let that 666 throw you off. It will most likely be a
metal chip under the skin. People will say 'that's not 666 so I am safe'....which is the way people try and
rationalize things. The 666 may not be so obvious. Like 6% alloy, 6% electrode, 6% blood, or some such
thing that people would not be aware of. You'll have to get it. You won't be able to buy or sell without it.
If you can't buy or sell, you can't feed your family. If you can't feed your family you certainly cannot pay
your bills. That means you have to suffer and you have to watch your family suffer. Better to suffer for
awhile than suffer in hell forever.

That's my take on that.

Let me tell you how WE the people from all over the world, are very stupid...

We're stupid in that we allow people to gain power and tell us what to do. It's many of these so called 'people in power' and 'upper political people' that make the path for us all when we let them.

That's why prejudice exist.

The average individual is mostly good, wants a decent life for himself/herself and their family. That's all.
But then politics is always there, telling us what is good, what is bad, what to do, what not to do. Even in
a free society such as the USA, we have to ask ourselves, ARE WE REALLY FREE?

People want to say 'religion' is the root of all evil. Some how, I beg to differ. I don't think any of us would
give a second thought to how our neighbor prays or who our neighbor prays to, IF it weren't for politics.

So ya, I believe at some point in time, there will be government control on the internet. They already have
access to anything and everything we do online, any way. Some day tho, they will limit what we can do, who
we can communicate with, and we will be limited. Enjoy the internet now because it will change.

The little flashlights are always a good buy. I've ordered them from HSN two or three Christmas's and have always been satisfied with them. They're nice to place in your handbag and even to keep one by the fuse box, etc.

Socks, gloves, hats are usually a good buy unless you're giving it to someone that lives in a warm climate.

I bought a couple sets of the merino wool socks at qvc last night. Mostly good reviews but some not so good. Those
are 3 pair for I think it was about $25. If you have a few men on your list, those are suppose to be very warm boot
socks so one pair for each man, would be a nice yet inexpensive gift.

Young women/girls usually like cosmetics, nail polish, bubble bath and that sort of thing, can always get items like that at relatively inexpensive prices.

Walmart sells many gift sets. I like the ones that have coffee mugs or a travel mug, or soup cups included. Usually they have the mugs and a package or more of coffee and altho vary in price, some very nice ones for $5 to $10.

Looking for some inexpensive gifts for Christmas? Maybe you can suggest some? Here is some ideas I thought of or have came across:

QVC - sells a unique item of 3 mini cell handbags for about $24. That pans out to about $8 per gift. So if you have 3 women in your life, those make a very nice, unique, and inexpensive gift. They are little handbags that will hold a cell phone and a few other teeny items such as lipstick. They mini handbags can be clipped to your belt loop, larger handbag, etc. Very cool items.

Privacy Stamper - I saw these on QVC too but no doubt they could be found else where. These are very cool too. You know the numerous magazines and junk mail people get, will have their name and address on them. Well, you take this little stamper, and stamp on the address which hides the address. You just have to see these items because they are really unique and a very bright idea plus, very inexpensive.

Office Supplies - Ok, who doesn't need office supplies these days? From pens and pencils to printer paper. I'd much rather have a package of printer paper then something I will never use.

Calendars - Well, some of these are rather unique today. Calendars always make a great Christmas gift and it seems one can never have enough of them. They're always a great and inexpensive gift for Christmas since the new year is right after Christmas and everyone's calendars are near the end.

House shoes - I go through these like ice cream or maybe faster. They're always a hot item at Christmas time and many are only $5 to $10.

Magnifying glass/Letter opener - Alrightie some of the most simple and inexpensive gifts, are often never thought of. I don't know why it is but often a magnifying glass and a letter opener are sold as a set. It doesn't matter if you are young or old, everyone can use a magnifying glass. Plus, these items look nice on a desk.

ClixSense does not rent referrals.

I shopped online, at home.

You can access the offers page. Offers are available as the advertisers have offers. If no offers are available for you, it's because the advertiser is not targeting you or the country you're in.

Happy Diwali.....now that I know what it is!

Love this video:

Oh, and to add to that, with hopes of not pissing off too many people, when something is made in one country for another country, how much pride do you think goes into that work?

Speaking for the USA, of course, when manufacturing was here, workers also took pride in their work because they knew it might be their self or their children or their aunt and uncle or their grandkids or close friends, that would be buying and using the very product they built.

It's like the American Flags that were made in China. Frigging insane! It's a nutty world.

I don't know how people are going to keep up in this techno age.

I don't know how old people are that are reading this but if you are in my age bracket you know what I am about to say is true.

That is, years ago when something was made, it was made mostly by hand and the people that made the stuff, took a lot of pride in their work. When you bought something like a furniture and appliances, they would last many many many years and if you took very great care of them, they often lasted more than one persons life-time. Just as important, the manufacturers and owners of those companies, took a lot of pride in their products and they wanted their products built high quality and built to last.

Those days are over, for the most part. Spend two grand on a refrigerator and hope like hell it still works tomorrow and if it doesn't better hope you paid a couple hundred for a warranty.

Now it's 'Welcome to the Techno Age' in which most of our stuff is made but we don't care how long it lasts because we're busy spending our time trying to roll out an updated product so we can suck more bucks out of the poor consumers.

I imagine the next deal will be the new mini ipad with retina display. Well, you know what they can do with that one, don't you!

I did not think about the holidays or black friday at the time of it's release.

Some times.

I said I would follow up after receiving the mini iPad. All I can really say is, I like it. For me, it is a good size and that is one major reason why I got it, that and the fact it is an iPad that I can sync with my other apple products.

Everything loads fast. It holds it's charge very well. The display is real good and I did download a movie from netflix to view the display and looks real nice. I have not ever viewed a retina display so don't know how much better the display would be but this looks great to me. Also downloaded some apps and all was fast with that. Downloaded the netflix app, piano app for fun, the pack of several apps......all free apps is what I've downloaded so far.

It's easy to hold in one hand. Fits nicely in my handbags and is light weight.

I'm very happy with it and plan to download some free books to read.

If Romney supporter. Are you going moving out your country now!!!

I think your correct to one big extent but also I think there were a lot of people afraid of Ryan. Why candidates choose who they choose for their running mate, is beyond me. I don't think anyone could see Ryan as president and of course if something happen to Romney, that is exactly who would be president. I also think that a lot of people were unsure as to what exactly Romney and Ryan would do.....they did not relay any infinitive plans and to top it off, many were afraid they would knock out SSI altogether.

I didn't vote for Obama the first time and I didn't vote for him this time either. Hopefully we'll have a better 4 years than the previous but some how, I think it's going to be a lot worse.

I don't like people taking about negative stuff about your country. It is not good thing . The rest of the world want American as failed as country. We got to prove them wrong the rest of the world we are stronger than ever.''

Thinking negative isn't so good for country. Let pray and god!!

I'm not one to bullshet or hoopla when there is nothing to hoopla about. Guess I've just never been that type of a person and sure not about to change now.
