Dispute settling time. In The 12 Days of Christmas, do the gifts stack, or are the gift numbers absolute? (i.e. do you get a partridge every day, for a total of 12 partridges, etc? Or just 1 partridge on the first day?)

it says in the text of the song that on the second day, the true love gave them two turtledoves and a partridge in a pear tree. It does not say "and I also still had yesterday's gift"

What of the “AND” Dan? Every day AND a partridge in a pear tree.

We are well within a couple of years of the “let me get that for you Dad, you’re going to hurt yourself” stage of Christmas decorating.

"It's wrong to deprive someone else of a pleasure so that you can enjoy one yourself, but to deprive yourself of a pleasure so that you can add to someone else's enjoyment is an act of humanity by which you always gain more than you lose." Thomas More#leadership#management

I have no Eric Clapton opinions other than that my dad so frequently played the “MTV Unplugged” album that when I was in college and finally saw “Goodfellas,” I was like, wow, someone did a really amped-up cover of that famous slow song “Layla.”

The day before Thanksgiving is not the busiest day to fly.https://t.co/wX6XSGd2hwhttps://t.co/NWv0mBHNdVhttps://t.co/mqIis9QDdB
I post a lot of inane garbage on here (it’s kind of my “thing”) but I am pausing to say that I’m grateful for, among many other things, everyone who has shown support to me or to my little family during the craziest year of everyone’s lives. Thanks all, enjoy the day!

Just tried pecan pie that always thought hated and I loved it. That is my Happy Thanksgiving message to you.

Dave has been ordered to add a feature to the app, and asked to explain why it’ll take so long to do. Finally @gruber in a fit of frustration asks for the source so he can add it himself over the holiday weekend. Dave gives him the code and starts work on a fresh project.

I swear the closest my wife & I get to a divorce is during the annual holiday card ordering debacle. Setting up the tree is right there in a close second place.
