       Myself, I'd like to see our SOHC4 Family getting what they need (Individual Needs) and, for myself, Just someone who I could share some pleasant companionship with. 
      Gonna be my first Christmas without Brenda and that's going to be tough, but at least I've got my Daughter Karla, my Dad AND my SOHC4 Family!

                                             Your thoughts? ???

Family, who ever that may be are the very most important part of our lives.
A time to also remember the special one's that are no longer with us.
A time to share happiness and the good memories.

I know it's a bit early but - MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AT EACH "CORNER" OF THE GLOBE - You are the best  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D
If I was you
I'd be worried about me.

That would be nice!  A full paycheck for a change too since they cut out all overtime and chopped my hours in April, this whole year so far sucked.

This year will be rougher than years past, as my wife has been out of work for longer than we thought, so our Christmas will be simpler than in years past.  I think the family will get next to nothing, Christmas this year will be mostly about our 2 kids.

Beyond that, I'll have a merry Christmas if everyone else is happy. ;D

           Steve, I Pray that this year wraps up with folks having some recourse for what ever has happened in the beginning of this one. Hoping that You All have a good one as well, Bill ;)

              I hear ya BIKE, Brenda and I quit giving each other "typical gifts" for Christmas, a few years back, made sure that the others got "something" and mainly tried to arrange some time for the "two of us" to spent some time "together" now and then. Didn't have as much of THAT as we'd have liked though.

                           I Pray You All have a Good One as well, Bill ;)

A paying job would be nice.
Less than 2 feet of snow this winter per storm.
A shorter driveway to shovel/snowblow, well maybe next year if I get a job.
Family is in good health so I guess that will have to suffice.
Peace. Peace would be nice to have for Christmas. Bring them home from conflicts.
peace,

           Very well put Michel, Family being in good health, is DEFINITELY a plus! 8)

          Yeah, just being away from home, during that time, is something, but being OVER THERE is REALLY a SAD thing! :-\

                                    Hoping and Praying for that job for you too. ;)

I just want time. There never seems to be enough of it these days.
I value it more than anything else.
With that time I can spend doing the things I want to. Family, hobbies, etc.
Instead it's work, school, studies, side jobs.

  • So, what do ya wanna talk about today?
I love Christmas Bill, time off from my two jobs, time to spend with the family and time to catch up on my projects in the garage. I've gotta finish Seans' paintwork, Micks frame, rebuild (again) my F2 so I can sell it, finish the resto on my K3 so I can sell it, then sell my K1, my GS1000 and finish building my racer project. Phew!

Oh, and if Santy is listening, could you bring me one of Mec's Egli frames, please mate? Oooher, and one of Mike's big block's, bored for my 73mm pistons? Ha ha, Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
