Evening All,<br /><br />We too did our bit for the economy today.  Bought out half of Costco.  Just finished hooking up a new five phone cordless system.  Now have to wait until all the batteries are charged before I connect the base station to the phone line.  Also bought the 52&quot; HDTV I&#39;ve had my eye one for about two months.  Its still in the SUV in the garage, can&#39;t deal with it tonight.  One toy at a time&#33;&#33;<br /><br />We are staying in on New Years Eve also.  Been in Vegas since 89 and still have never gone down to the strip on New Years Eve.  Too darn cold.  Can watch it all right here at home where its warm and cozy. Hey, I may even watch it on my new HDTV&#33;  Life is good.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br />I was surprised that Costco was just like a normal day, not packed as I assumed it would be.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/thumbup.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumbup:" border="0" alt="thumbup.gif" /> <br /><br /><br />
