Re-gifting is somehow tacky. I've received my own gifts back! : (

When in doubt, give money.

And, downsize - just like everybody else will be doing.

Re-gifting is tacky? Who cares, it's a gift. People should be happy with the fact they received anything at all. Why are people so obsessed with what the BUY or what someone else has BOUGHT them for Christmas. Is Christmas about what we get and give? I wouldn't be surprised if half the people polled don't realize it is a Christian holiday. Time to take a look at what's really important about this holiday.

I'm a Bears fan in Nashville and we practically gave up on our Titans til last week, when they won their first game of the season. Hang in there. They will fix the problems. I remember Jay Cutler when he played for Vandervbilt here in Nashville. Don't worry... he'll come around.

the kid clearly knew what he did. not sure expulsion is necessary, because the 6th grader needs to be getting an education... but what he did was terrible and dangerous and damaging and beyond bullying. basically a violent temper tantrum. he needs to understand that it is not okay, and he obviously has some issues dealing with anger.

Alfred, I believe Doug is referring to the photos being over exposed. While I agree that the images are a little burned out, his vehemence against the photographer, Nancy Stone, shows a disturbing level of anger probably against woman in general, that I think we should be concerned.
