If you are asking if I am returning any of my gifts, nope, nada, no way Jose. These are all mine, I'm not sharing with anyone, :rolleyes:

If you asking about returning the favor of exchanging gifts, soon, very soon.

I was asking about you returning gifts but returning the favor works too!

The Cherokee language course did it for me.

Not nearly as good as the silver-plated personally-engraved computer mouse.

Weird sister-in-law.

So you're clicking on things in style now! :D
 
I got a weird contraption from a distant Aunt that says "Get well soon" in the card accompanying it. Reading the instructions, I figured out it's sort of a stretching/therapy device for the back. I couldn't understand why she'd send me that. Taunt? Her subtle way of saying I've got a hunchback? Mislabeled gift?

What?

Calling her seems futile as she never picks up the phone and shipping this gift back to the States will cost more money than that f-ing dungeon device itself.

So.....I'm waiting for someone to break their back.

Maybe it's one of those 'just in case' gifts. That's a puzzler if nothing is wrong with your back. :confused:

She's one of those cool aunts you'd love to hang around with. Crazy, just short of being manic, and very generous. This gift was out-of-the-blue thing. I have my fingers crossed and hope it was mislabeled.

I'll donate it to a physiotherapy centre where it'll be put to better use.

Except I hardly sit at a desk any more. A 12.5-inch ThinkPad occupies my lap as I loll in a recliner. I should mount the mouse in a shadowbox on the wall.

Yeah, I have one of those too, she's so eccentric, you can't help but love her.

And it's there if you ever need it!
 
While in the Air Force I was deployed to Panama on a "Temporary Duty Assignment" (TDY). It was Christmas 1993. I received a Christmas package from my then wife (now ex!!!!) Among the things that I revived was a package of underwear, that were not my size:confused: Having been married for 2 years, I thought that was one thing she knew about me. Turns out she got my package of underwear confused with her boyfriends (back home, banging her while I was away):eek: Worst Christmas ever.

Wonder if she saw your profile pic on here.

Anybody get anything weird for Christmas? Most of the things I got were things I would use and things that I like, but there's always one present that just makes me say.........huh?

This is what my sister (who's known me for 53 years) gave me.
