Thanks, it's no fun. I guess I'm thankful that she tried to reel me in before setting the hook. If she'd waited a little bit, she might have ended up getting a thousand dollars.
or a snake. (grin)
Your nephew will always look forward to presents from you if you get these unusual, learning toys. At least I hope he’s raised to appreciate stuff like this. Especially if Uncle plays with the toys with him!

No, I won't part with the snakes for any woman. They got here first. LOL
I'm not good at the whole playing with kids thing.
The building blocks might work. I’ll have to see what he has so far.
But Bill, these are INTERESTING toys (tools)
There aren't many that really stand out. My Dad liked the chimes that I talked about in a previous post. I once got my Mom a combination step stool and tool box. She always likes having a step stool handy, and the tool box part is useful for her and Dad. My sister and I bought my folks a VCR long ago, and the VCR was used for a long time.

They look interesting, but adapting me to the whole kid world is going to be tough.
*smile* Oh I think he’ll break you in fairly easily.
Don’t be scared. Maybe it’s the child in me, but I relate to children really well. It helps sometimes if you bend down when you talk, so you’re not so big and towering over them.
I just took WAAAAYYY too much abuse here—and from people who claim to be conservatives, mind you. I had enough. Sean Hannity has a point about this site, after all. But I cannot get on WA anymore for some reason, So I had to post here.
A few weeks ago, I did a reset on my computer and the cookie got erased for WA, and now it will not accept my user name or email—so I CANNOT post there.
Anyway, I will answer the original post.
I have spent WAY more on Christmas presents this year, than ever before.
It all started when my boss’s wife got me a $300+ dollar GPS unit for my van for Christmas. SO, I had to get her and her husband something nice, in return. From there, it all snowballed until I found myself spending more than I ever have for each person I needed to buy for, probably spending over $500 for Christmas presents this year. In the past—$100-150 would have sufficed.
But I am NOT sorry about doing so. Just thankful I was able to afford it!! After all—I am one of those who loves to “give”, and brighten the lives of those who I buy for. Often, giving gives me a better feeling inside than receiving.
My last present, an 8” digital picture frame, I won on Ebay a short time ago. I pray it arrives by Thursday night, So I can give it to my Boss’s wife, along with the Red lobster gift certificates I got for each of them.
As for that little “project” I was talking about on WA—things do look promising. Time will tell, I guess.
Anyway, too all of you-- as my Friend Laurie taught me to say—Have a blessed Christmas season, and a Happy new year.
Ladies like a man who is good with kids...:-)
That’s the truth!!!! Get a man to show a natural, honest interest in my kids and I am HIS. LOL
emphasis on “natural” and “honest”
It’s good to see you again. I’m glad that you are having fun buying stuff for people.
That's one more reason why I see myself never finding anyone.
