What is the best and worst gift you have received?

Worst and best

In reply to Ok I get some bad and some good

The worst has to be a tie like one of these – http://tinyurl.com/yvkffb – I was 12 when I got it and still remember how ugly it was.

The best? The best Christmas present I’ve ever received was Christmas week in Rome (won at a military Recreation Center). The best Christmas present I’ve never received would be a brand new NetTool (http://tinyurl.com/2bffa8)…if somebody wants to give me one! :^0

the battery pack!!!

Hmmm. Oops, just checked my bank account and looking at a stack of bills. Sorry, maybe next year! That is, unless a few people want to split the cost with me…

Every time I think I’ve talked somebody into something, they talk themselves out if it… 😀

Well! That is a lie, and this close to Christmas I need to be good (Or Santa may Skip me)…
Besides, I have too many electrocuted souls this year to make up for. :^0

Merry Christmas!!!

Your choice of family. That thing is too ugly to merely trash. Tell me you burned it!

I do believe that the worst gift I have ever received was a blouse that re-defined ugly. Some poor soul at the Goodwill ended up with it.

The best was NOT being diagnosed with cancer.

I got to choose? :0

Boy, did I screw up! 😀

Actually, Tig, I don’t remember exactly what happened to that tie. I know I wore it once to church (“You have to wear it because your [6-year-old] brother gave it to you!”), but don’t remember what happened to it afterward. I wasn’t good at throwing things away then, so I suspect it hung around somewhere until my Mom cleaned out my old clothes for a church jumble sale. Any clothing left over from those went to the Salvation Army.

I want one!

It can sit on my desk next to my “Easy” button. I can press it whenever some nitwit starts harassing Beth. Life would be grand!

Hey, Tig

Do you think people on the freeway will move back to the right after passing if I put an Easy button in the car?

Doors that open to reveal the noses of missiles. Tie them to the left turn signal; leave it on more than 30 seconds and the door opens and the “missiles” appear. :0

Not that anybody here in SC uses their rear-view… 😐
