Truck, Trailer & Motor Home Manufacturing in the USOperators in the Truck, Trailer and Motor Home Manufacturing industry produce motor vehicle bodies, truck trailers, motor homes and recreational vehicles (RVs). The industry is set to speed forward over the five years to 2017, specifically due to increased demand from truck transportation, greater domestic trips made by US residents and a rising total trade value.

As a result, downstream truck, trailer and motor home dealers renewed demand for shipments from industry operators. With the economy continuing to strengthen, industry revenue is expected to increase as credit access and consumer spending gradually improve. Under these improved conditions, revenue is expected to increase over the five years to 2022. Operators in this industry primarily produce motor vehicle bodies and cabs, truck, automobile and utility trailers, truck trailer chassis, detachable trailer bodies and detachable trailer chassis.This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors.

Volunteer Recruitment NewsBest Performing 2017 Worship Tech Director Pieces Worth Second Look, Part 4 Churches Are Challenged to Find That Next Valuable Volunteer A Familiar Cry: "I Need More Volunteers!" Volunteer Recruitment: Don't Go It Alone, Make It A Team Effort
Team Management ResourceWorship Facilities Magazine, January-February 2018
The January-February 2018 issue of Worship Facilities Magazine offers articles about the many steps a church had to take in the aftermath of a fire, and another involving a church making the jump to 4K.
Finding the right people to share the ministry load can be difficult and frustrating, but is also the most rewarding thing that we can do as ministry leaders. After all, ministry is not about filling seats or getting tasks done, it's about people.
We should never be recruiting in order to get a job done, but we should be recruiting that more people have the opportunity to enter into some form of discipleship.
If our recruiting is driven by discipleship, it should motivate us to constantly bring new people into our organization, never cease growing, and work to find a place for as many people as possible in our ministries.

Reprinted from yesterday's late editions.
The Verdi Requiem, that first work of the final trilogy that crowned Giuseppe Verdi's life and accomplishment, was revealed anew at the Kennedy Center Tuesday night as Mistislay Rostropovich conducted it with the National Symphony, the Maryland University Chorus, and an especially distinguished quartet of soloists.
Music has no parallel for this Verdi, in which his faith in all its profound depths stands free and glorious. And Washington has never heard a performance like this one, in which Rostropovich moved not only into music in the grandest Italian manner, but also into the realm of the spiritual.
In every way his conception was, to the letter, Verdian and deeply moving. No accent was unobserved, no call for dynamic shadings, unmarked. The orchestra played superbly, with trumpets in the top galleries, and the chorus was glorious throughout.
At Verdi's direction for whispered phrases, or somber texture, the chorus answered. Rostropovich's directions. For these and many other reasons, the Requiem emerged with its terror uncovered, its ultimate realization of peace foreshadowed.
As in any Verdi opera, the soloists in the Requiem are, with the chorus, of central importance. The quartet signing Tuesday night was as near an ideal in individual achievements and balance as you are likely to hear today. Galine Vishnevskay's soprano shone at every point, clear, brilliant like a diamond, radiant in the high pianissimo notes that dot the part, and stunning in dramatic impact. She was entirely free in both the largest and the most intimate moments.
Julia Hamari, singing in Washington for the first time, was faithful to the score, giving each note and accent its due. Her voice is not the heavy contralto that can add weight in some passages, but her command and musicianship were excellent.
Paul Plishka was a particular joy in the great bass solos, during which he sang without referring to the score. He gave ideal tone and manner, with special breath in his phrasing, thanks to flawless breath control.
Against the tremendous impact of the performance, several small matters are of minor importance, but their finest realization in the repetitions, would cap a great evening. The "Sanctus," which was sung with virtuoso effect, ought to go throughout at the same allegro tempo with which it opens. In the "Agnus Dei," there should be no break between "peccata" and "mundi.
And surely Verdi, having marked a rest between "libera" and "me" in the sixth measure before the end, but none thereafter, does not want the words separated in their closing deliveries. Small matters against a magnificitapestry, but worth correcting.

More Videos CREATIVE AND EASY RECIPES Make your own Rakhi at home Illinois' financial crisis could bring the state to a halt The final 6 'Game of Thrones' episodes might feel like a full season Share Tweet Published 7 months ago on Sep 17, 2017 By Aastha Negi Views: 103 Shopping freak, right? But what will you prefer more for shopping? An online one or an offline one? Online shopping has become much popular and the preferred one for anyone to shop for any of the products. But, since the existence of mankind, Offline shopping is still managing to maintain its space and presence in this highly competitive market. All the retailers dealing with the online shopping are here to provide some of the benefits and the facilities that offline retail stores can't provide but this is not at all done with the intention of closing or discouraging the offline market. But, both are just commendable in their own ways and the customers are making use of these stores to accomplish their different shopping needs and preferences. Let us make you have a look at all the pros and cons of Online and Offline shopping that makes them too different or better than each other: Convenient shopping- Keeping convenience in mind, this is the point that you will also agree with "Online shopping is more convenient than the Offline shopping." On deciding the product that you have to buy, you can make the whole payment online or choose the Cash on Delivery option and get the product right at your doorstep. You don't need to take out your car and travel all the way to the offline stores to buy these products. Varied kinds of products- If we take a look at the "Variety of goods for the customers", we can say that Online shopping is better this way. As compared to the offline shopping the Online retail stores provide its customers with the better variety in case of brands, colors, sizes, quality, and designs. Having no problem related to the accommodation physical space, the Online retail stores can provide you millions of products at a single place. Try before buy- Here Offline Shopping comes into play because it has this benefit that an Online store lacks behind. In an offline store, you can touch, feel and even try the product before buying it. If it doesn't match your preference you can skip the idea of buying it. But, this is totally opposite in the case of Online shopping as you cannot try anything before buying. You just have to believe on what the image of the product tells you. Hand to hand buying- In online shopping, once you place the order it will take approximately 2-3 days to get your product. Whereas, offline shopping facilitates the hand-to-hand buying system. Once you do the payment you will get the product at the same moment there itself. So, no need to wait for the delivery of your product during Offline shopping. This is really helpful in case of buying some products during an emergency. So, now the decision is yours on how to shop. Online and Offline shopping are both amazing in their own ways, you just need to look at your preferences and then choose your way of shopping accordingly. Happy Shopping!

Brave, fearless and valiant fighter ready to sacrifice his life for the country, Chandra Singh Garhwali was then commanding a unit of Garhwali soldiers in Peshawar. The freedom movement was then building up and the pathans of Peshawar who were fully inspired by Gandhiji under the leadership of the towering Pathan leader Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan were opposing the Britishers for their dictatorial actions and communal policybof Hindu Muslim divide thus demanding Azaadi. General Rickett orderd the entire battalion led by Chandra Singh Garhwali saying FIRE GARHWALI. But revolutionery Chandra Singh in retaliation, shouted defying the British General's order CEASEFIRE GARHWALIES. Every soldier put their rifles down and the lives of several Pathans could be saved. Veer Chandra Singh Garhwali was influenced by the Jalliawalan Bagh massacre and wanted to avert another bloodshed. He preferred his court marshel and life imprisonment in the solitary confinement at Kala Pani, Andamaan Nicobaar cellular Jail thus being behind bars for 14 protracted years for the motherland and saving the lives of hundreds of Pathans. In the entire history of India one can't find, visualise and experience such an outstanding example of secularism of the Hindus saving the lives of their muslim Pathan brothers despite confronting Life long solitary confinement. Garhwali had thus after the 1857 revolt of Indian sepoys under Mangal Pandey's leadership against the then neo colonial British rule opened another inspiring chapter of anti British revolutioneries in India which finally helped in attaining full Indepence from the foreign colonial Yoke. Garhwali never compromised on principles and ethics in public life and even after Independence rejected Nehru's proposal to become a union minister. He preferred a hard life of a socio political activist believing in secularist values and fighting corruption through out his life. He was ideologically left oriented and preferrred contesting election from Choundkot constituency in Garhwal single handedly with no election resources but only a self made BHOMPU in his hand. He visited village to village on foot mobilising people for their constititional rights to badly lose elections but never compromised for Congress ticket which he would have easily got and won. He never approached authorities in power for any personal or family benefit. Such a towering personality of the country sadly met his end in Delhi's Ram Manohar Hospital in 1979 after a prolonged illness. I remember that the then political stalwart n union minister HN Bahuguna alongwith others marched woth Garhwaliji's corpse to the Communist Party of India's office where late Indira Gandhi had also come today her last respectful tributes to this towering revolutionery freedom fighter. Salutes to this historical petsonality of Indian Freedom Movement. SUNIL NEGI Continue Reading Featured WILD LEOPARD AND BEAR ATTACKS HAVE CREATED HAVOC IN UTTARAKHAND. WILL THE GOVT DO SOMETHING CREDIBLE? Published 3 days ago on Apr 23, 2018 By Sunil Negi Views: 117 The Himalayan state of Uttarakhand is under the incessant invasion of dangerous wild life and the government of the day and its forest department is conspicous by their absense in not doing anything concrete to counter the wild life's terrorising menace. The situation has assumed so risky proportions that human life is today completely at mercy of the wild cats and the bears. Number of incidents of gruesome killings at the behest of the maneater leopards, tigers and wild bears have come to notice for the last two years with the number of casualties increasing day by day but of no avail on the part of the state government to set right the situation. A most tragic incident of wild bear attack was reported in a village in Yamkeshwar block where a local inhabitant of Umdaa village, 59 year old CHANDRA PRAKASH was badly injured as he litrally fought with the bear and suffered deadly injuries. The grievously injured is in the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh fighting for survival. The injured had gone to the nearby jungle to collect fodder for cows and buffaloes when he was attacked by the wild bear. It is usually said that the bear who remain in the high mountain altitudes come down during the winter season due to the excessive snow covers that creates green food shortages. In addition to this the increasing activities of construction and the so called development has disturbed the wild life particularly the leopards and bears who come near the human settlements i.e. the forests adjoining the villages. When the men and women enter jungles for green grass or animal fodder these wild animals become fearful and attack them in self defence as well as lack of food stuff. While in 2017 about 140 leopards were declared as man eaters there had also been 17 bear attacks in the Chamoli district's Bhatwari village range grievously injuring several women and children who'd gone in the local jungle for pet animal fodder. In Almora, Rudraprayag and Pauri districts too these incidents of wild life attacks resulting in several casualties have created an alarming situation with the Uttarakhand Forest Department having no clue, whatsoever, to safeguard the precious lives of the states' inhabitants. Uttarakhand is already suffering from mass scale migration with thousands of villages having become ghost villages. The monkeys, wild pigs had already destroyed the agricultural produce of the villagers and the increasing man eater leopard and bear attacks have also made the life of the villagers tremendously dangerous and unpredictable. In the last week two shocking incidents of leopard attacks were reported from Uttarakhand's Almora district in which two precious lives of a 6th class student and a twenty five year old were claimed by the maneater tigers. While the dearth of animal preys is cited as one of the prime reason for wild cats coming nearer, towards human settlements to fulfil their hunger , another reason may be due the villages becoming vacant these wild animals find themselves convenient to come closer towards them ( the villages with little population) and kill human beings when confronted with. SUNIL NEGI Continue Reading Crime Man eater leopard attacks going unabated in Uttarakhand Published 6 days ago on Apr 20, 2018 By Sunil Negi Views: 207 The dreaded leopard attacks taking lives the inhabitants in Uttarakhand has become an order of the day with terrifying incidents of tiger attacks increasing day by day with no hope of relief from the government's side. Uttarakhand is primarily a hilly region with more than 70% part having covered with dense forests. After the enhanced migration from the interior rural areas, the villages and increasing constructive activities, the wild animals, particularly the leopards, hordes of wild monkeys, beers and even wild pigs have created havoc in the villages destroying cultivated fields and even attacking the local inhabitants. Just yesterday in a horrifying incident of a leopard attack, a young boy was brutally killed with half of his body part eaten by the dreaded leopard in the Manila area of Kumaon, Uttarakhand. The young boy, son of one Mr. Lal Singh hailing from the village Supi Kaafli Tok Laami Dhar in Uttarakhand who was studying in sixth standard was killed by the leopard yesterday night as per the facebook post of Narayan Singh Bisht, district media Incharge. The information was immediately given to the forest division who later on retrieved the highly mutilated dead body of the deceased. This is not the single isolated incident of horrifying leopard attack but in Garhwal and Kumaon Uttarakhand, the leopard menace has till now taken hundreds of precious lives of people with no reprieve or relief from the forest department and the government of Uttarakhand. There is yet another news of a young boy of 25 year old having been brutally killed in yet another wild cat attack at Bhainciyakhana block's Dungri Panchayat in Almora district namely Deepak Kumar. The people of this himalayan state has become vulnerable prey to the wild cats'attacks and have been prohibited to come out of their houses after 7 PM as the man eater leopards are usually on the lookout for their human prey. It is usually said that after the increasing exodus of the village populatiin to cities and towns there is tremendous dearth of animal preys for these leopards and hence they enter houses in villages hungry and even in the locan towns in search of flesh and make humans their easy prey. More over, the majority of the hill jungle areas having become barren due to the excessive pine trees has also resulted in shortage of green food animals inside the forests finally compelling the tigers, leopards and cheetas migrate to towns or villages in search of food thus making human beings their easy prey. Hundreds of people have so far been succumbed to the leopard attacks in this Himalayan state of Uttarakhand but it seems that the government is more concerned to preserve the wild life than to safeguard the human beings. The forest department is literally sleeping and so are the other responsible agencies of the government. It is high time that the forest department of Uttarakhand should devise concrete methedology or formula to get rid of these man eater leopards failing which the already vacant Uttarakhand villages will literally turn into ghost villages in the near future. The government will have to prioritise whether maneater leopards are important for them or the human beings. In 2016 the government of Uttarakhand had declared 140 leopards as man eater who'd created havoc in the hill state with their killing spree. After two years their terror is still live with the human killings going unabated.

Illinois Senate passed the Equal Rights Amendment
On April 11, 2018 the Illinois Senate passed the Equal Rights Amendment as Senate Joint Resolution Constitution Amendment 4 (SJRCA4). The fight now goes to the House.
While we are disappointed with all 43 Senators who voted for abortion, we are gravely disturbed by those who solicited pro-life support and presented themselves as pro-life but voted for the ERA. Their vote was a vote in opposition to life and will not be ignored. The Illinois Federation for Right to Life PAC, Illinois Citizens for Life PAC, Illinois Family Action PAC, Illinois Family PAC, and Lake County Life PAC will not endorse or support any legislator that casts a vote for such a sweeping pro-abortion piece of legislation as the ERA.

'Justified' Actor Nick Searcy to Direct 'Gosnell' Abortion Crime Drama
Kermit Gosnell was convicted May 2013 of first-degree murder of three babies (while the Grand Jury Report, The Hollywood Reporter noted, "alleges Gosnell killed hundreds of infants by sticking scissors into their necks"). The trial, in which witnesses described baby abortion survivors "swimming" in toilets "to get out," attracted a mere 12 – 15 reporters. Only after 56 days, multiple letters from members of the House of Representatives and a public outcry, did all three broadcast networks report on Gosnell.

Iraq's military has redeployed troops from Baghdad to Kirkuk for a fresh campaign aimed at retaking Kirkuk's Al-Hawija district from the ISIS terrorist group, the Defense Ministry said Saturday.
Axar.az reports citing AA that, in a statement, the ministry said that additional units of the Iraqi Federal Police (IFP) had been sent from the capital to participate in the upcoming operation.
Speaking to Anadolu Agency, Police Captain Jabbar Hassan said that army troops and IFP units had arrived in Mosul's southern Al-Qayyarah district on Saturday after being withdrawn from recently-liberated Tal Afar in Nineveh province.
According to Hassan, these forces will be employed in the planned campaign to retake Al-Hawija in southern Kirkuk.
"Most of the troops who participated in the liberation of Tal Afar will participate in the Hawija campaign," Army First Lieutenant Fayeq Numan al-Salim told Anadolu Agency.
Along with army and police units, the Al-Hawija campaign will also likely include Iraq's Hashd al-Shaabi (a Shia fighting force incorporated into the army last year) and Kurdish Peshmerga fighters, according to the military officer.
"Preparations for the campaign began several weeks ago, but they were stepped up following the recent recapture of Tal Afar," al-Salim said.
He went on to predict a "speedy victory" over ISIS in Al-Hawija, "similar what we saw in Tal Afar".
Late last month, Iraqi forces backed by a U.S.-led coalition captured the Tal Afar district in Nineveh province following a 10-day campaign.
A predominantly Turkmen district, Tal Afar was overrun by the terrorist group -- along with large territories in northern and western Iraq -- in mid-2014.

Front-load vs Roll-off Dumpsters
Front -load and roll off dumpsters have different designs that make them useful in different ways. Knowing more about them will allow you to choose an option that's right for your project.Front-load Dumpsters
Front-load dumpsters have mechanical arms that can lift heavy things. It is a handy option for jobs that comprise lots of heavy things like appliances and concrete. They are also great for emptying commercial dumpsters like the type restaurants use.Roll-off Dumpsters
Roll-off dumpsters are generally the right option for commercial and residential jobs like repairing a roof, remodeling a cellar, or adding a room to your residence. They've doors that swing open, allowing you to walk into the dumpster. In addition they have open tops that allow you to throw debris into the container. Rental firms will normally leave a roll off dumpster at your project location for many days or weeks. It is a handy option for both small and large jobs.
Choosing the best dumpster for your project size
Choosing the top dumpster for your project is an important aspect of dumpster rental in Kennedy. Should you decide on a dumpster that is too small, you won't have enough room for your debris and waste, which means you'll have to schedule additional trips. In case you select one that is too big, you'll save time, but you'll squander cash.
Should you call a dumpster rental business in Kennedy and describe the job for which you desire a dumpster, they can urge the finest size. Their years of experience mean that they often get it just about right. A 10-yard dumpster usually functions well for medium-sized cleanup projects and small remodeling jobs. A 20-yard dumpster is the most suitable choice for large dwelling cleanup projects and medium-sized renovation projects, while a 30-yard dumpster has higher walls which are ideal for a home cleanout or remodeling jobs on a big house. 40-yard dumpsters are massively large and are used only on the biggest projects such as new building.

Dumpster Rental in Kennedy Prices: Flat Rate vs Per Ton
In the event you're looking to rent a dumpster in Kennedy, one of your primary concerns is going to be price. There are generally two pricing options available when renting a dumpster in Kennedy. Flat rate is pricing dependent on the size of the dumpster, not the quantity of material you put in it. Per ton pricing will bill you based on the weight you need hauled.
One sort of pricing structure is not always more expensive than the other. Knowing just how much material you have to throw away, you might get a better deal with per short ton pricing. On the other hand, flat rate pricing can help you keep a limit on prices when you're coping with unknown weights. Whether you frequently rent dumpsters for work or just want a one-time rental for a project around the home, you need to search around for the best rental prices predicated on your needs.
How Long Can I Rent a Dumpster For?
The total amount of time that you have to rent a dumpster in Kennedy ordinarily depends on the type of project you're working on. A little project, such as a cellar clean out, will probably take a few days to complete while larger projects, like constructing a brand new house, could take several months.
Most dumpster rental firms in Kennedy are happy to adjust their schedules to suit your needs. Keep in your mind, however, that the the more time you keep the dumpster, the further you will need to cover it.
When you contact dumpster rental firms in Kennedy, ask them how long their terms are. Many will allow you options such as several days or one week, but there are generally longer terms accessible, too.
You should also ask how much the firms charge for extra time. This way you know how much it costs to maintain the dumpster for a couple of extra days if necessary.

Do your research when renting a dumpster in Kennedy
One of the most significant things to do when you are considering a construction or remodeling job is to plan ahead. Part of that process will be studying your dumpster needs for the endeavor. Knowing ahead of time how dumpster rental in Kennedy works will make things simpler when you begin the process. You can find a lot of the typical information you need online, but for information specific to your area, you will have to call your local company. Ensure that you ask about any hidden or additional fees so you don't get stuck with a surprise statement.
Among the largest parts of your research will be determining the right size container you should rent predicated on the size of the project. This may be your largest price, so ensure you get a size that is big enough to last for the entire endeavor. Other problems to research first include a possible place for the container, the kind of waste which you're throwing away and the period of time you'll need the dumpster.
Can I Use a Roll-off Dumpster in a Residential Area?
Most residential areas permit roll-off dumpsters. If you have a drive, then you can normally park the dumpster there so you really do not annoy your neighbors or cause traffic issues by placing it on the road.
Some jobs, though, will require putting the dumpster on the road. If it applies to you, then you definitely need to speak to your city to find out whether you need to get any permits before renting the dumpster. Usually, cities will allow you to keep a dumpster on a residential road for a brief quantity of time. Should you think you'll need to be sure that it stays on the road for several weeks or months, though, you will need to get a license.
Contacting your local permits and licensing office is usually recommended. Even if it's an unnecessary precaution, at least you'll learn that you're following the law.

What is the Dissimilarity Between a Roll Off and Front Load Dumpster?
Roll off and front load dumpsters have characteristics which make them useful for different types of jobs.
A roll off dumpster is delivered to your project place and left there until you want a truck to haul it and your debris away. They generally have open tops and a door on the front. This makes it easy for workers to load a wide selection of debris into the dumpster.
A front load dumpster has mechanical arms that that lift containers off the earth. The arms tilt to pour the debris into the truck's dumpster. This is a helpful alternative for businesses that amass considerable amounts of garbage.
While roll off dumpsters are typically left on place, front load dumpsters will come pick up debris on a set schedule. This makes it possible for sanitation professionals to eliminate garbage and crap for multiple residences and businesses in the region at reasonable costs.
What Size Dumpster Should I Get for a Residential Clean Out in Kennedy?
Residential clean outs generally don't need big dumpsters. The size that you simply need, though, will be contingent on the size of the job.
Should you plan to clean out the whole house, then you probably need a 20-yard roll off dumpster. You can likewise use this size for a large basement or loft clean out.
Should you only need to clean out a room or two, then you definitely may want to decide on a 10-yard dumpster.
When choosing a dumpster, though, it's frequently advisable to request a size larger than that which you think you'll need. Unless you're a professional, it's difficult to estimate the exact size needed for your project. By getting a slightly larger size, you spend a little more cash, but you also prevent the possibility that you will run out of room. Renting a larger dumpster is almost always cheaper than renting two little ones.

20 yard dumpster measurements in Kennedy
A 20 yard dumpster can carry about 20 cubic yards of waste or debris. Normal measurements for a 20 yard container are about 22 feet long by 8 feet wide by 4.5 feet high. With these measurements, a 20 yard dumpster can carry about 10 pickup truck loads of debris and waste. This implies that the 20-yarder is a familiar size for jobs that involve cleanup from larger projects. Because of its compact size that still has capacity for a good quantity of debris, a 20 yard container is just one of typically the most popular dumpster sizes for home projects. Examples of what can fit in a 20 yard container comprise:
- Clean-Up from a basement, loft or garage
- Flooring and carpeting removal from a sizable house
- 300 to 400 square feet of deck removal
- 2,500 to 3,000 square feet of shingle removal from a single layer roof
Terms to be aware of when renting a dumpster in Kennedy
When you rent a dumpster in Kennedy, you are dealing with professionals who use terms connected with the construction industry and dumpsters each day. Because you likely do not use these terms every single day, here's a bit of the lingo to get you acclimated. This can really help you cope with business employees who may get impatient if you don't comprehend what they are explaining about their products.
"Container" and "roll off" are both acceptable terms for the big metal box you need to rent. Professionals do not use the term "dumpster" as much as the other terms. Containers are often let in cubic yard sizes, but you do not have to contain the "cubic" part. Just say "yard" or "yarder." If, for instance, you need to rent a 30-yard dumpster, you may say, "I am interested in a 30-yard roll off" or "I Had like to rent a 30-yarder." Use these terms, and you're going to sound like a pro when you call.

Some Things You Can Not Put into Your Dumpster
Although the specific rules that regulate what you can and cannot contain in a dumpster vary from area to area, there are several types of materials that most dumpster rental service in Kennedys will not permit. Some of the things that you typically cannot place in the dumpster contain:
Batteries, especially the sort that contain mercury Automotive fluids like used motor oil, engine coolants, and transmission fluid Pesticides and herbicides that could pollute groundwater Paints and solvents (they include oils and other compounds that can harm the environment) Electronic Equipment, especially the ones that contain batteries There are also some mattresses you could normally place in your dumpster as long as you're willing to pay an additional fee. These include: Appliances Mattresses Tires
When in doubt, it's better to contact your rental business to get a list of stuff that you just can not place into the dumpster.

Chateau Heartiste writes,
What if the American media and major information gateways AND the US political establishment AND the FBI, CIA and NSA — all of them except a few lonely, croaking voices trying to break through the anti-white noise — are stocked rug to rafters with Clinton and Twerk and Fat Cat Party apparatchiks who glibly and gleefully ignore or suppress the truth about Clinton's criminal activities and traffic in lies, misinformation, and blatant narrative propaganda to discredit her opponent?
What if the rot is so deep the truth has no way of reaching the light?
What if the incestuous evil and corruption in every American institution are so scrupulously shielded from scrutiny by the ruling class and their media whores that the Good and Righteous slumber silently to a sad and lonely death that goes unnoticed….worse, callously ignored….worse still, deliberately perpetrated…by those very same entities tasked with the duty to speak for the vulnerable and the powerless and expose the depredations of the powerful?
What if there is no Deep State…only ONE SOROSIAN STATE with interests diametrically opposed to the interests of the American people?
What if this ONE SOROSIAN STATE establishes itself so firmly and permanently in the American social and political fabric that the only outlets for truth are mischievous online retreats, tucked far away from mass consciousness? And when the SOROSIAN STATE achieves total victory, how long do you think Le Chateau will stand athwart cuckery yelling COWARD before WordPress is given the order to SHUT IT DOWN?
What if the rot….IS THE WHOLE POINT?
Evil doesn't always lose.
Chairman Mao died a rich old man while still in office.
But I can tell you this.
Truth always wins, one way or another.
If truth doesn't win from within the system (via the exposure of lies by the people's guardians) then truth will win outside the system.

Always pleased to have MCK and team care for my children.
The last of four children is in the final stages of getting braces removed! We have been very happy to work with MCK and team for all four of our children. Always helpful to see a child when in need of adjustment that is not scheduled. Front office team helpful and professional. The team does a good job of keeping us informed on each child's progress through the journey. I would highly recommend MCK to anyone.

As an adult with braces and pregnant going to Dr Koen was always fun!! When I was there I played video games while I waited. The employees are always so nice and it is obvious that they are treated very well by Dr Koen. As soon as my daughter needed braces I knew where to take her. We have never had a bad experience!

Thank you for stopping by That's What I'm Talking About for today's Mistletoe Madness spot. For a line up of all of the authors featured here and at The Book Nympho, and to enter the overall event giveaway for a free book (two chances to win!), please click on the image above or go to the kickoff post on December 2, 2013.
Book: Disenchanted & Co.
Release Date: January 28th, 2014
Publisher: Pocket Star
This is a story about the heroine of Disenchanted & Co. playing Santa.
I had meant to have my Christmas Eve at home, where I could comfortably watch my Yule log burn while I sipped hot cider and nibbled on shortbread. Instead I spent the day at the office correcting my ledger (unbalanced by two pence), writing up case reports (I'd closed twenty since the solstice) and sending out payment reminders (the magic of the holidays often made clients forget what they owed me.)
I didn't mind, not really. I lived alone so there was no one waiting at home for me to arrive. I had no presents to open, feast to prepare, or tree to decorate. No one would try to kiss me under the mistletoe. Funds had been so tight I couldn't afford gifts for my friends, and truth be told, I hadn't even bothered to buy a Yule log this year.
Christmas was for families to celebrate; for me it was just another day.
"Haven't you something better to do?"
I looked up from the last of the billing to see a portly old gent standing before my desk. I'd have told him to piss off, but the starched white collar round his neck suggested I'd someday burn in hell for it. Also, he wore the white fur-trimmed red jacket, hat and pants of Father Christmas, and it didn't seem polite to insult a clergyman dressed up as a holiday saint.
"I've already donated for the needy this month, Vicar." Behind him my office door stood shut and locked, which made me frown. "How did you–"
"Never mind that. We've business to discuss." He dropped a bulging velvet sack atop my desk. "Now, you're to deliver these three gifts tonight, before the stroke of midnight, if you please."
I peeked inside the sack, which held brightly-wrapped boxes. "I'm a detective, Vicar, not a delivery service."
He glared at me. "You're for hire, and I'm hiring you. Deliver the parcels to the names on the tags–"
"There aren't any names." I showed him a blank tag.
"They're bespelled," he snapped. "You must hold them in your hand to reveal the writing."
I did, and writing slowly appeared on the tag. "Lovely trick. Lemon juice ink, I presume?"
"Magic," he insisted. "Put the gifts under their Christmas trees, but don't let them see you at it." He made a shooing gesture. "Don't dawdle, gel. Get on with you."
I wrinkled my nose. "I don't work for free, Vicar. I also don't have any means of transportation."
"Mercenary wench." He produced a handful of crumpled notes, which he tossed onto my desk beside the sack. "I've a carri waiting for you outside. You're to deliver the three gifts before midnight, no exceptions. Give me your word."
"Very well, I promise I'll deliver all three." I counted out the notes — thirty pounds, which would pay my rent until Easter — before I deposited them in my cash drawer. "Does your driver know . . . Vicar?"
The fake Father Christmas had vanished.
My first delivery was conveniently located inside my office building; specifically to the old mech whose workshop occupied the entire basement (we called it the Dungeon.) I didn't worry about slinking downstairs, for the din there was perpetual, thanks to my mate Reginald P. Docket. The old mech was usually so busy tinkering on his latest gadget that he wouldn't notice me unless I shouted for him.
I would have left the oddly-shaped gift on his work bench, but the old priest's warning about stowing it under the tree came back to me. I looked round until I spotted an odd sort of bush assembled from wire brushes and roller shafts. Hanging from the branches were dozens of pocket watch cases, each filled with sprung gears, glass chips and other bits of glittering mech. Since Doc was forever long on parts but short on coin it made sense that he'd build his own mech version of a Christmas tree.
As soon as I placed the gift beneath the lowest wire-brush branches I heard cursing and the clatter of tools. Quickly I darted behind a crate of carri wheels and watched as Doc dragged a twisted snarl of mech over to his work bench, where he hefted it into a parts bin.
"Useless," he shouted at the bin before dropping onto a stool and rubbing the side of his head. "Bloody damn useless. Just like me." His shoulders lifted and fell on a sigh before his head turned and his ferocious expression softened. "Now what's this?"
I watched my mate retrieve the gift from under his mechtree and turn it round a few times in his grease-stained hands. The canny vicar must have known Doc had few luxuries in life, I thought, and hoped the present would be something very nice. Yet when Doc opened the gift, all I saw was a grimy little wooden dog with wheels instead of legs and a rusty coil for a tail.
I started to step out so I could apologize when I heard Doc say, "Oh, Spot, my sweet Spot. How on earth did you get here?"
Doc carefully placed the wooden toy on the floor, and then drew it along by the faded ribbon tied round its neck. The wheels squealed as it rolled, but its coil tail wagged and its jaw opened and shut. When Doc crouched down to pet its little dirty head, it rolled up onto its back wheels and let out a tinny little bark.
"Never thought I'd see you again." The old man picked up the toy and cradled it as if it were the Crown jewels. "Not after Da tossed you out with the rubbish for making too much noise." He reach for a rag to wipe away the dirt clouding the toy's bright button eyes. "But here, Spot, here you may bark as much as you fancy."
I turned, swallowing against the tightness in my throat as I picked up my sack and made for the stair. The wooden dog couldn't have been the same toy Doc had lost in his youth, of course. He must have at some time confessed his longing for it to the vicar, who had then obtained or fashioned another like it. Having me deliver it so secretly made its appearance seem like magic. No doubt the clergyman would arrive tomorrow and claim that so that he might wheedle a generous donation from Doc.
I despised this sort of deception; it seemed so cruel to use such fond memories to swindle unsuspecting souls. But I'd taken the vicar's money, and I had given him my word, so there was no escaping the task.
I stalked outside to the curb, where a red-painted carri stood waiting. Behind the wheel sat Chief Inspector Thomas Doyle of New Scotland Yard, and he didn't look pleased as he pushed open the passenger door.
"Get in, Miss Kittredge."
"You work as a vicar's driver?" I asked as I climbed in.
"Just for tonight." He sounded quite unhappy about it, too. "Where to now?"
I checked the tag on the next gift, which had been made out with the name of the most notorious woman in Rumsen, who also happened to be my oldest friend. "The busiest brothel in the city, please."
Doyle drove me across town to what had once been a respectable boarding house. Now called the Eagle's Nest, the place offered rooms and services of a very different nature, thanks to the Mrs. Carina Eagle and her staff of pretty and utterly pliant gels.
"I should only be a few minutes," I told him as I got out. "Or do you want to come in with me?"
"I'd better not." He glared at the red-curtained windows. "Unless you want me to arrest everyone on the premises."
"Surely you're not working on Christmas Eve, Miss Kit?" Almira, Rina's cook, asked as she let me in the tradesmen's door.
"No rest for the wicked." I heard laughter and rhythmic thumping coming through the ceiling and tried not to imagine the source. "Is Rina occupied?"
"Only with what's left of the good brandy," the cook said, and nodded toward Rina's private sitting room. "She's been in a mood all day, I'll warn you."
I tapped on the door before I slipped inside. My friend the madam sat dressed in a gown as golden as her hair, a half-bottle of brandy in her hand as she stared at a tall, unadorned pine standing in the corner.
"Happy Christmas, Carina," I said softly.
"Come to make merry with me, Kit?" She didn't glance at me as she drank from the bottle. "Too late. I'm mostly-bent as it is. I tried to call on me Mum again, but she wouldn't have her daughter the whore in the house. I hate Christmas."
So did I, but I couldn't let her sit and get drunk in front of a bare tree. "I could help you, ah, decorate."
"The gels will see to it tomorrow." Rina rose and drank again before she dropped the bottle on a side table. "I'll get you a glass and we'll have a drink."
As soon as she staggered out I deposited her gift under the bare pine before I headed for the door. When I stepped out into the hall, I heard an odd tinkling sound and glanced back to see the parcel opening like a flower. Beams of sparkling light shot up from it, and everywhere the light touched an ornament or star or some other holiday bauble appeared, until the tree stood richly decorated from tip to trunk. Finally the gift box itself changed shape, turning a dark rich brown and sprouting fur as it arranged itself into a small, cheekily grinning bear.
It couldn't be magic — I didn't believe in it — and yet nothing else could explain the exquisite decorations or the little toy bear. I was tempted to go back in the room and touch them, to make sure I wasn't hallucinating, but at that very moment Rina rejoined me.
"Oy, you can't leave me to get pissed by meself," Rina said, and then caught her breath. "Kit?"
"None of my doing." I gave her a little push into the room, and watched as she fell to her knees and picked up the bear, holding it as tenderly as she would an infant.
"Mum gave me this when I was a wee gel." Rina swiped at her eyes. "I thought she burnt it with the rest of my things."
I didn't want to watch her croon and cry over the toy, or look anymore at the beautiful shimmering tree, so I made my way outside. Snow was falling on the carri, trimming it with white, and when I climbed in Doyle covered me with a plaid blanket.
"Where's the last to go, then?" he asked.
The final parcel in the sack was rather small, but the name that appeared on the tag when I touched it made me groan. Of course it would be him; it was always him.
"Drive me to the cliffs outside the city," I told Doyle.
He peered at me. "Nothing out there but rocks, sea and that sodding death mage's house."
"His name is Lord Lucien Dredmore," I corrected, and glowered at the little box in my hands. "And this last gift is for him."
Doyle wanted to take the gift in, of course; he hated Dredmore almost as much as I did.
"I gave my word, Tommy." I climbed down out of the carri. "But if I'm not out in ten minutes you might come in shooting. Not at me, of course."
He caught my arm and leaned out to touch my cold cheek. "All I've ever wanted is to protect you. Especially from him . . . "
"It's all right." I smiled and covered his hand with me. "Be back before you know it."
I marched up to the front door, which opened as soon as I presented myself before it.
"Good evening, Miss." The silver-haired, bland-faced servant bowed a little. "His lordship is expecting you."
Dredmore wanted me to believe he could take peeks into the future by checking the portents or some other such magical nonsense; I suspected he had men watching me and reporting on everything I did.
"I'm making a delivery, not a call." I held out the gift box. "This is for his lordship." I felt someone behind me and glanced over my shoulder to see Connell standing there. Doyle and the carri were gone. "What happened to my friend? What did you do to him?"
Neither man said anything, so I stomped inside, and followed the servant to a large study lit only by the flames burning brightly in the fireplace.
"If you'll wait here, Miss." The servant withdrew and closed the door, leaving me to pace back and forth. Just as I was considering heaving the gift through a window, climbing out and walking back to the city, a shadow separated itself from a dark corner and stepped into the light.
Lord Dredmore stood tall, handsome and ominous as ever. He had the darkest eyes of any man I knew, but then they matched his heart. "Charmian."
"Lucien." I tossed the box to him, which he caught neatly. "A vicar hired me to deliver this to you. Happy Christmas. What have you done with Doyle and my carri?"
"Nothing at all." He turned the box over in his hands. "As a death mage I am considered a damned soul. No clergyman would ever send me a gift."
"Perhaps this one was especially forgiving. Or inebriated." I sighed and gestured at the box. "Go on, open it. It will be some grubby little treasure from your childhood. That's what the devious sod has had me delivering to everyone else."
"I doubt it." He began peeling off the wrap. "As a child I was never permitted to have toys." He opened the box and looked inside, going very still.
"Well?" I folded my arms. "What is it?"
"Perhaps your vicar does know me." He showed me the inside of the box, which was empty.
As much as I despised Dredmore I felt a wave of pity. "Wretched man. I'm sorry, Lucien. I didn't know."
He set aside the box and came toward me. "The gifts he sent to the others, did they make them happy?"
I thought of Docket's face as he pulled along the wooden dog, and the tears in Rina's eyes as she held her bear. "Yes. Very much so."
"Only one thing in my life has ever given me hope of happiness, Charmian." He took my hands in his. "And while he could never fit that into this box, he has sent it to me tonight."
"No, I think it's just a cruel joke." I meant to tug away my hands but he was moving his to hold my waist and pull me close. "It's almost midnight, milord. I should really be on my way, if you could locate my cop and carri."
"Give me my gift first." He touched his mouth to mine, and his breath warmed my lips. "Yes. You taste of hope, my sweet."
That one, brief kiss made a shiver race down my spine just as the room began to spin . . .
I jerked upright, and swatted at a piece of paper stuck to my face. I was not in Dredmore's arms or his study or his great gloomy house; I'd fallen asleep at the desk in my office. I checked my brooch watch, which told me it was half past six; when I got up and went to the window I saw the sun rising in the east. Red ribbons fluttered above every doorway, gaily announcing that Christmas Day had arrived.
It had all been a dream, I decided, and a fairly ridiculous one at that. As I yawned and went to put on the kettle, I tried to imagine myself being driven about Rumsen by Inspector Doyle so I could deliver magical gifts for Father Christmas. Doyle would never agree to such nonsense, of course. I'd do anything for my friends Rina and Docket, naturally, but that business at the end with Dredmore . . . I wouldn't have agreed to that for three thousand pounds. As for the vicar, he couldn't have been Father Christmas. Like magic, he and his presents simply did not exist.
I had gotten the chance in the dream to give precious gifts to my friends, however, and that made me smile a little. Perhaps someday my situation would improve, and I could afford to do the same in real life.
The door to my office flung open as Docket came in and held out a bag of sticky buns. "A merry morning, Kit."
"Same to you, mate." I came round to hug him. "Will you stay and have a cup with me?" I heard an odd sound come from his jacket and drew back. "What's that?"
"Something Father Christmas left for me." He pulled out small wooden dog with a spring tail and wheels instead of legs. "Right under me little mech tree, can you believe that?"
In the Provincial Union of Victoriana, a steampunk America that lost the Revolutionary War, Charmian "Kit" Kittredge makes her living investigating crimes of magic. While Kit tries to avoid the nobs of high society, she follows mysteries wherever they lead.
Unlike most folks, Kit doesn't believe in magic, but she can't refuse to help Lady Diana Walsh, who claims a curse is viciously wounding her while she sleeps. As Kit investigates the Walsh family, she becomes convinced that the attacks are part of a more ominous plot—one that may involve the lady's obnoxious husband.
Sleuthing in the city of Rumsen is difficult enough, but soon Kit must also skirt the unwanted attentions of a nefarious deathmage and the unwelcome scrutiny of the police chief inspector. Unwilling to surrender to either man's passion for her, Kit struggles to remain independent as she draws closer to the heart of the mystery. For the truth promises to ruin her life—and turn Rumsen into a supernatural battleground from which no one will escape alive.

I would have to say my time because we all seem to have so little of it and mine is precious to me so when I use my time assisting others it helps them but I'm awarded as well. Baked goods as well. Who doesn't like a great meal in a time of need rather it be surgery, pregnancy, finances or just to be nice.
Happy Holidays 🙂
Giving your time to others is an amazing gift, Lori — in a sense it's priceless, too. I also agree with the baking as a wonderful gift — for my guy's birthday I always make him his favorite German chocolate cake, which is all he ever asks for.
One of the best gifts I've ever given to another was a family. They did not have a family to speak of and I took them in and made them part of mine.
I'm adopted so I can definitely attest to what a precious gift this is, Jessica. Happy holidays!
That's so cool! My little ones are from Russia but they were part of my soul long before we met. Happy holidays!
Wow that was great, and I loved the empty box.
My very grown-up daughter keeps a box of Legos in her closet, Nycorson — and while she doesn't think I know this, she still regularly takes it out and builds things with them. 🙂
The best gift I ever gave someone was a tablecloth that I cross stitched for my grandmother many, many (won't say how many) years ago to match her bedroom set. She was thrilled and I was proud of my accomplishment.
Cross stitch is such a lovely (and time-consuming!) needleart. I've only attempted little, easy projects like ornaments so I'm in awe of you, Marie.
As always, you tease me with short stories and make me want more! I love this series and hope that it does super well so we will see much more of Kit (and of course, Dredmore!).
Thanks, Tami — it's terrific to see you here. And as long as the publisher's willing and you all want more stories, I'll keep writing. 🙂
Hi Lynn. I loved the excerpt. The best gift I have given was a cross stitched picture for my mom. She knew how much time and effort I had put into making it and was very touched by the gift.
Hey Crystal, so nice to see you here — and you're a cross-stitcher, too! I'm becoming jealous now, lol.
Excellent story Lynn, loved it. I'm very pleased to be giving some (I think) lovely oven gloves I made this year. I'm really delighted with the way they turned out and hope the recipients think so too. For those on the other side of the pond, I think you call them 2-handed pot holders!
I've handmade most of my gifts this year, too, Fran — mostly totes like the one for the giveaway, but a few purses and scarves, too. There is so much satisfaction in giving something that you make with your own hands, and that can't be bought anywhere. Merry Christmas!
I've been told the best gifts are the calendars I give every year. I photoshop together pictures of the kids each month and do some journaling about what they did, milestones they reached, etc. Then I take it to Kinkos and they make it into a calendar. Grandparents adore it. 🙂
My sister made me a photo calendar one year, Hanna, with pics of her kids and the beautiful place they live (on the other side of the country, as it happens.) It was a little like having them with us every day for a year, and then once we finished the calendar we put the monthly photos in an album. Great gift!
I gave my mom a little book that I had written in every Sunday for a year. I wrote down good memories I had growing up of things we had done together. She loved it!
We're all envying your mom now, MK — what a special, personal gift!
I love giving to KIVA and believe it is one of the best gifts I can share.
Charitable gifts are something we can give in honor of anyone on our holiday list, Pam. This year I've donated to the Make A Wish foundation on behalf of all of my colleagues in Publishing. 🙂
I gave my grandmother a kitten and she had it to keep her company for almost 20 years.
I'm getting tears in my eyes now, Tammy — your grandmother must have felt so blessed.
One year I made my hubby a scroll filled with photos and anecdotes of our life together. I think he was really touched.
What an unusual gift, Robin — I love the idea of making memories into a scroll. 🙂
I was captivated with this wonderful story. The best gift that I gave was my time helping them shop for food, and then cleaning their house and preparing them a homemade feast.
Anytime you do for others, Anne, you give the gift of your heart as well as yourself — and that's something no one can buy.
The best gift was undoubtedly 8 years ago when I gave my husband a wrapped up copy of a sonogram and told him we were pregnant.
What an amazing surprise for your guy! A great memory to pass along to your little one, too.
Thank you for the short story. The best gift I've ever given is… Well, I have no clue. I am mom to 3 teenagers so basically my time is not mine. However, I knit prayer shawls, and the recipients are always grateful, so perhaps that is my best gift.
Caring for a family is a year-round gift, in my opinion — and your prayer shawls sound like a beautiful and very thoughtful thing to make for a loved one.
I cannot think of what the best gift I have ever given. But I think it would be books. My son's preschool has a party for Christmas every year. They have it this Friday. There is always a book exchange. But some parents are either unable to or forget to bring a wrapped book. I always buy a few extra and wrap them up. To me this is the best gift I have ever given because those children did not miss out when they might have and they will never know. Makes me feel like Santa's elf.
It's very generous of you to provide the extra books for the holiday exchange, UnaReads. For my niece's baby shower the lady hosting it asked us to give a child's book instead of a card, which I thought was an unusual and very neat way to start a library for a new addition to the family.
What a wonderful idea. I'm going to remember this for the next baby shower I do.
Thank you for the lovely story! My husband says the best gift was my first knitted scarf. It took me 3 years, was frogged 15 times and still has plenty of dropped stitches. He is a tall and big man and wanted a scarf that was actually big enough. I have offered him another since I am now a better knitter, but he loves his black and red scarf, dropped stitches and all.
Aw, Valerie, your guy is a sweetheart. When I began knitting in my 20's I made my Dad a pretty horrible orange and green winter hat. It looked like something an elf on crack might like. Yet he claimed it was his favorite hat and wore it every winter for the next 25 years, right up until he passed away.
an ereader
I'm debating on whether or not to give my daughter an ereader for her birthday, bn — she's such a gadget-lover I'm thinking it might make a great present (and convince her to read a bit more, too!)
I think teaching my children to cook. I was surprised by how many young adults can't cook and rely on fast food.
That often amazes me, too, Maureen — especially since my mom started teaching me to cook when I was still in grade school. I have always appreciated that gift, for home cooking is wonderful (and definitely healthier than fast food.)
I would say the best gift I've given would have to be playing cards, my husbands grandmother is 90 still lives on her own and loves to play cards when people visit but couldn't see regular cards to play anymore. I found lo-vision cards for her and she uses them all the time.
Amy, I had no idea they make lo-vision cards for visually impaired folks (and now I'm going to have to research this because I have a couple of friends who are wrestling with the same problem.) Thanks for the very timely suggestion.
The place I used to work adopted a family for the holidays every year. We took over all the groceries for Christmas dinner, plus all the cookware and dishes to make and serve it. I have never seen anyone so happy about groceries! It really made their holiday.
Sometimes even the most basic of gifts can be so important to a family in need, Margaret. I give out grocery store gift cards every Christmas to friends I know are struggling, and they are always appreciated.
I think the best gift I've ever given anyone was when I self-pubbed my first poetry chapbook and gave my in-laws personalized, signed copies. Not so much that it was my chapbook, but the things I wrote in them. They've always been so supportive since day one and I wanted them to know how much I appreciated it.
That's a really lovely way to show your appreciation for those who support you, Erin — plus it adds to your family's personal history. I treasure the books my Aunt gave me when I was a girl as she wrote little messages in them for me. Now that she's gone on to the next place, they mean even more to me.
I really try to give good gifts…last year we gave my 12 year old a kindle fire even though that was pretty expensive for us because she was ROCKING the reading levels at school, and writing. She was excelling at both and we really wanted to reward her. She was thrilled! Plus she's actually been reading far more than she was before. It's incredible:)
What a great way to recognize your kid's hard work at school. I think writers are often influenced by reading gifts given to them in childhood; I know the books I received over the years from my Aunt and Grandmother played a huge part in convincing me to try writing my own stories.
It's time for me to head off for the night, but before I go I would like to thank Jen for including me in the Mistletoe Madness event as well as hosting my holiday story. I also appreciate everyone who stopped in to chat with me and share so many wonderful stories. I wish you all a very happy and peaceful holiday season, and good luck with the giveaway!
Thank you, Lynn! Like all of the others here, I completely enjoyed your story. And thanks to all who stopped by and shared their favorite gifts!
the best gift I ever gave was my son to his father born just a few days after christmas 🙂
One year my cousin bought me a plane ticket so that I wouldn't have to be alone for Christmas.
I loved the mini story.
The best gift I ever gave was a bunch of presents to a childrens center. They take in moms and kids who have no place to go and me and a few friends had a big toy drive and donated a ton of stuff for the kids and parents. It was a great memory and I plan to do it every year.
My mother? I went down to visit my grandparents for the summer. I was in college. My grandparents only expected me but I brought my mother down with me. Best reaction I've ever received from a gift.
One of my best friends had always wanted a certain type of dog (her entire life), so I saved and saved and surprised her by taking her to a breeder and letting her look at the puppies. When she fell in love with one and talked about wanting him, I told her she had pick of the litter (with the exception of the pup the owner was keeping). She was so happy. michelle_willms(at)yahoo(dot)com
I think the best gift my hubby and I ever gave was propane. His family was-and is-struggling in the MI economy and they were worried about simple things like heat and light. We decided to send them a check for a Winter's refill even though they never asked for a dime. His mom cried when she called us on the phone and tried to give it back, saying it was too much. It was a gift for us to be able to take care of the folks we both adore.
I'd have to say the best gift was a handmade blanket I gave my parents with their picture and a poem on it.
Friends of the past told me it was the photo albums that I made each one specifically. They loved that I took time and effort to create something out of my hands for them.
Loved that short story! Especially on the heels of finishing Disenchanted & Co the following night and sending in my review to being edited.
I'd have to say that the best gift I ever gave was to take my niece shopping after her house burned down last year. She lost everything from sneakers to purses and everything in between. It was useless to make a list because she needed everything. I think that she enjoyed shopping for undergarments the best. She enjoyed the fact that if they didn't match we didn't buy it! She had never had matched sets before.
Best gift(s) I gave to anyone, the two times I played secret santa with some friends of mine. They scored autographed books from a favorite author!
A painting that I painted for my mom.
Thanks for the chance to win!
Several years ago we sponsored some kids for Christmas through our local DFCS. It felt great buying those two little girls to open on Christmas morning.
*buying gifts for* lol
I think the best gift I've given was a new stove to my son and his wife. They really needed one and it was very well appreciated. It made me feel good to give them what they needed, and I got the benefit of my daughter-in-law's cooking as well. 😀
I'd have to say a painting I did a few years ago. It took me about 2 months to finish and I still smile when I see it in their home!
A bunch of us got together, chipped in, and bought a plane ticket so a friend could attend her grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary (she couldn't afford to go otherwise).
Happy Holidays and thanks for the amazing giveaway!

I would say that it was my time and helped my BFF with organizing her house when she got her Grandkids. Helping her out with babysitting and find places that will help her, like getting the girls in preschool etc.
I gave my mother a hand made pot holder that she still has. I made it when I was 7 years old.
I got a how to clean your house with vinegar book for someone who had just moved out of his parents house. He's still using it as a doorstop.
