Good morning everyone
With 11 shopping days left I though this would be a good question. We may possibly be offering some assistance to those that don't want to see a gift they gave on this list next year
Todays question : What is the weirdest,goofiest,strangest in other word "what were they thinking? Gift you have received?
Today in history :
December 13, 1975 1st time Saturday Night Live uses a time delay - Richard Pryor as host. hmmm wonder why
Word of the day : dactylonomy [dack-tuh-lah-nuh-mee] n.
the science of counting on your fingers.
hiffy the diet pepsi went spewing is the the grandma you told us about at lunch
but the real question is:
did the "gold, 24 inch tall statue of a naked woman." have a clock in her belly
one year my aunt read somewhere that you could get your shopping done at the grocery store.
I got a bag of those big fat oyster crackers.
No, no clock. She was in a crouching position, with her hands modestly covering her breasts....my grandmother said that she got it because she looked so demure..... Of course, being me, and being me at 16, I responded in a candid fashion. She got to keep that gift! She put it in her bathroom, with the knit toilet paper roll covers with plastic doll heads on top.
She was given a hideous standing ashtray with plastic baubles dangling from it. I wish I had it now....it would have taken the prize for most kitschy kitsch.....
One year my DH gave my mom a pair of men's skuffs (slippers). They were literally the first thing at the entrance to Sears- a big pyramid of them right in the middle of the aisle. He was sensitive like that- LOL! My mom opened them, smiled and thanked him, looking over at me with a ... WTF?...look on her face.
Eleven days left...yikes- I have two gifts for my son. Peroid. No decorations, no cards, why can't we buy gifts on CD?
A vegetable spinner! Whats that for?!! 12 years later, it's still in the box in the garage!
For those who know me, know that I am a cook and my son a chef so what do we do with this spinner?
Oh, there have been so many over the years. I am going to have to go with the B.B. pistol that my husband got me one year. It was supposed to be an armadillo deterrent. I will tell you that I can at least hit the target each and every time with a .375, but that B.B. pistol left dings in the neighbor's cars, their boat, the siding on their house....... Only once did I actually hit a dillo with it. The thing whipped around so fast I thought it was going to charge me. Never fired it again.
My xh bought me a hand gun one year for my birthday. He knew I hated guns and violence. I think it was something he wanted. After that, every year on his BD, I got him kitchen appliances that I wanted

LOL.. Karla, we're gonna have to get you a year's supply of Diet Pepsi since you keep spewing them everytime somebody responds to your "Daily Question".
As for goofy gifts.. I don't think I've ever gotten such gifts in the past.
