Boy, the Grizzly Christmas catalog just showed up (Christmas tree on the cover and all), and I felt like I was a kid again and the Sears and Robuck Chrismas catalog had just arrived. I was oogling (pardon the sp) the 8″ jointers and they now have byrd cutterheads for sale at Grizzly. OOH the 8″ with spiral cutter is only 995. No wait a minute, the new 10″ is only 1495 for the 4 blade and if I just add another 400, I can get it with a spiral currerhead. Oh well back to reality. Do you slobber over the catalogs too?

ROFL!!!forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)
What is ROFL?
I can't be the only one that doesn't know.
Internet acronym for Rolling on the floor laughing. If you Google on Internet Acronyms, you'll find many places that list them (careful, though, one tried to load an Active X control). Try here, for starters:

Don't let your sweetie, or wife catch you!
Why? She wants one of everything Victoria sells. The $Million bra is gonna set me back a few paychecks!
Rich
lucky you!
You bragging, or complaining?
...once you leave its boarders..you may never return again...(sigh!)
Kidding.
Nice thought though isin't it.
Having purchased from "Vicky's" as my wife calls them, we get at least one catalog a week (that's during the slow season). As Christmas approaches, it's now up to a catalog every other day, and as memory serves it will be 2 catalogs a day before long. I think if we never buy another item for the rest of our lives, we'll continue to get that volume of mail from them.
Our mailbox is frequently overflowing with various catalogs and if a day goes by without a Vicky's catalog my wife will say, "Gee, no catalog today. Something must be wrong with the universe." No fear, though, the next day there will be extra copies.
I wish I had the printing contracts.
gonna have to second that one.
Do you slobber over the catalogs too?
Not as much as last year's. ;) A couple of Grizzly girls in Santa skirts on that cover.
Actually, I've enjoyed looking through catalogs ever since I was a kid, and would pore through the Sears "wish book" Xmas toy catalog.

You know the toy catalogs sure aint what they use to be. I remember the Sears wishbook being about 2" to 3" thick. Now, its a not much more that an Issue of FWW. Of course, you could get a lot more then. I remember my bike coming from that catalog, and my first 22 rifle with Ted Williams name on it. I asked my 11" year old son if he wanted to sit down and look at it, and he said Nah, I look on-line. Oh well technology moves on!
