2 years ago my son was really into The Iron Giant movie from 10 years ago. So he wanted the robot...
needless to say, I ended up paying $80 for it from Ebay (*grumble) and my son has played with it maybe 10 times since.

Things will get easier when he stops believing in Santa and I can just reason with him for why we can't get certain things.

I can guarantee that someone will say "You Are My Sunshine", which is great... heck my gramma used to sing this to her kids & my mom and her siblings would sing it to their children.
but ONLY the 1st verse, mainly because no one knows the rest of the song!

It comes together in the end, but one verse states:
"I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me and love another,
You'll regret it all some day"

i love the colors, but the three fonts: Futura, Helvetica and Trade Gothic; all look too much the same to really care which one is which?

you don't have to worry about the voltage when replacing this fixture. your service in the house should be 120/208v. 110, 115 and 120 volt circuits are basically all the same as far as residential lighting goes.
You can purchase pretty much any fixture you'd like. A quick call to any electrician will explain this to you.

It broke my heart when my local Video Store (just the name Video sounds old) and my town Library got rid of ALL of their VHS tapes last year.
Now the Video Store is out of business and the 2nd floor of the library remain empty.

I still have my VCR and you know what? My VHS tapes from 20 years ago have held up better them the scratch & finger print prone DVDs.

we've had the same plastic orange pumpkin bucket for over 20 years (pasted from me to my son).
I dig the look of the UNICEF bag, but agree with the others about just donating you money straight to them.
Why do people need something in return for their charity?

I remember hating our couch and the thin red tapestry thing my mom would drape across it, when I was little.
I really wish she held onto that tapestry.
