What would you like for Christmas this year?

For me, this song sums it up quite nicely:


What do you hope for Christmas this year?

 

[berkeman]

My watches are worn out (batteries ready to die and bands broken). Time for a new watch for my medic shifts ...

 

[Astronuc]

A little homestead would be nice.

That's odd. It shouldn't be a problem. It's a public site. Try to Google for Parrot Creek Ranch. One should find

Link works okay for me...

What do you hope for Christmas this year?

(1) A Keysight MSO. Do I have to pay the shipping or is that included?
(2) A saner gf than the last one.
There's more, but I don't think I should be greedy.

I'd like peace on Earth, no global warming and a cure for cancer.
But first: give me faster WiFi.

It’s be nice for him to magically replace the (apparently) leaky motor that blew up in my car this afternoon while I’m sleeping tonight.

What would you like for Christmas this year?

New pair of lungs to replace the old pair I have now that are rife with heavy COPD.

Aww, stay safe right now!

 

[phinds]

Aww, stay safe right now!

Oh, I've been hunkered down since early this year. The folks at Walmart do my food shopping for me and the only other place I go besides the back lot of Walmart to pick it up is to the occasional doctors appointment. It's getting BORING ! My wife still goes to the store once a week and my fear is that she'll get it and give it to me despite my precautions. If she does and it kills me, I'm going to be really annoyed.

I’m glad that you are still quarantining! So many of those at high risk aren’t!

Some at-home 24 hour PCR tests are pending approval and being approved for use right now (you swab at home and mail it to the lab)- that might be something to look at for preventing from having to get out if you guys need to test!

You can still escape to nature! Bundle up and take a long walk! Exercise those lungs so you can be ripe for fussing!

What ever happened to

 

[Buzz Bloom]

Adequate supplies of well tested and effective vaccines against Covid-19.

I was surprised this Xmas when I got a Heuristically Programmed Algorithmic (HAL) computer "eyeball" (or maybe visual input unit (VIU)) from my son.

Yet to be assembled, so I don't know if it wants to kill me yet.

 

[Borg]

Just don't go outside without a helmet.

Bill -- "Hal, open the garage door please."

HAL -- "I'm sorry Bill, I can't do that..."

Bill -- "Alexa!"
