I bought a new LG dehumidifier to warm the boys' room & keep the mold at bay. It works surprisingly well bringing the ambient temperature up almost 10 degrees while reducing the humidity from 65% to 35% in about 12 hours. On another note, I was thinking of upgrading to DirecTV with DVR but would have to find a cheap dual LNB to make it worthwhile as the receiver is free & I don't want to blow $100 on a new dish. We'll see what transpires. I ripped 3 bad A/V units out this last weekend: receiver, DVD, & VHS. Sony isn't all it could be I'll tell you that right now.

Justin takes his driving test this Friday. He still needs to work on his parking skills. I suppose I must shell out more dough soon for his insurance. He'll be 17 in a couple weeks! He's diligent & fun loving, a pleasure to be around. I sure hope he keeps his head about him while driving. Chris will be off his grounding if he pulls his grades up. Then maybe I'll let him back on the computer. Casey is doing great in school this year averaging about a B. He grows so fast. I'm not sure about this Santa Claus thing anymore. Hell, I had to buy his last tooth because that damned fairy bitch just never showed up! hehe

I should find out what the boys want for Christmas this year so I can get shopping over with. Casey is really looking forward to that Xbox. At least I don't have to buy presents for all the family members this time around. What a commercial entity it all has become; lost all meaning if you ask me. I count on the kids getting ONE (maybe two) good presents from me as usual. Done. Over.
