@Magister: Works for me. I did that at my kid's last birthday... she got some lovely stuff she wanted but also my laptop since I'd just bought a new one. My husband called it the 'used birthday' - she got a secondhand saddle and my laptop.
@MrInBetween: He likes to make very broad generalizations and "predictions" about the future of journalism, technology, and social media, and frequently tosses around buzzwords like "hyper-local news streams". He often interrupts the truly fascinating Gina Trapani and lovable Leo Laporte on "This Week in Google", a.k.a. "Jeff Jarvis Plugs His Book". It's a shame, really, because Trapani and Laporte are very interesting.
Serving time will make you do weird things with your subsequent freedom. It's entirely possible that Martha will go on to fill monstrous bowl after monstrous bowl with 47 gallons of eggnog each, and no one will ever stop her.
@momof3wildkids: Yes, it's dead easy. I expect the staff have their preferences set so they never see them, so they don't think they're a problem. Maybe drop them a line in the tips box?

I'm not even bothering to fake the lie - The computer I'll be buying this Christmas will be for me, so that the kids can have the gift of my old one.

Is twittering reviews on films you didn't see the new blogging reviews about films you haven't seen?
