I can't hint at anything and still be surprised on Christmas. If I hint Mrs D will get it for me, assuming it's something realistic.

Last Christmas we helped our nephew surprise his mom and dad with a surprise visit from AZ.

LOL.. I've been hinting for the past.. oh 3 years, but she keeps telling me to hit the road..

Bonus Question:

I'd better take the 5th, and the 6th, 7th, 8th and the 10th on that one... - because I can't think of anything right now... so a dumb answer is better than no answer..

Extra Credit Question:

Colluded.. I'd better check my auto insurance to make sure it covers Collusions.. - I think it was around the same time she had me arrested... - I'm only kidding, I've never been arrested.

Good morning Karla and everyone! It's a lovely, snowy day here...hope you all find some loveliness in your day too!

Today's Question:

Is there anything you have HINTED that you really really want to find under the tree ?
No...I'm not much into getting presents. Unless it's a gift certificate for a handyman...it could use that!

Bonus Question:


When ____________ told me to ___________ , I wanted to say "ROFL Yeah right that's going to happen ?
This goes through my head often, but I can't come up with examples...sorry!

Extra Credit Question:

I am currently in collusion with my parents, trying to convince my sister-in-law to let us take the nieces to church with us on Christmas Eve, before we all have dinner and presents. For some reason she's against this.

Hinted I wanted?
Yeah, new Brighton purse from husband. Don't know if he will buy one because he has bought me 4 now and I think he's tired of the "purse" idea. I, however, am a "pursehead" and I'm not tired of getting them!

Colluded with someone?:
Really colluded with a friend's wife to throw him surprise 50th birthday party, but that was about a year and half ago. Maybe some small "colluding" since then, but none I specifically remember.

Good morning! (yawn) - my son's plane was late and he came in at 4:30 a.m. - but I'm not complaining!


Today's Question:

Is there anything you have HINTED that you really really want to find under the tree ? I always tell my nine year old how I love pictures of our family that she has drawn.

The only things that come to mind are political - since one of the things I appreciate about the QOTD is that it is non controversial, I'll skip this question.

Extra Credit Question:

I guess that would be on Christmas presents, since many places won't mail to PR I had to have some of them sent to my son's place.

Good morning everyone. Its just around the bend. I will be on more after this busy season. Just got back from the gym, and I perked up. Have a Merry Christmas, and Happy New Years. Raining, and 50 degrees. Very windy too. Looking forward to the get together with Carmac, M. Mike, and a few others in California for lunch.


Is there anything you have HINTED that you really really want to find under the tree ?

I just enjoy the gifts I give to people, I really don't need anything special.

Never have. Every year the conversation would go like this..."What do you want for Christmas??? I don't know... What do you want??? Have not the faintest idea... " We were not about to make it easy on each other when it came to gift buying.

Bonus Question:


When the red light told me to stop, as I was sliding thru the intersection , I wanted to say "ROFL Yeah right that's going to happen ?

Has been a while. However...I sense danger heading my way as MN2CO is colluding with others over a trivial matter. Fred found the money to buy a ticket and is on his way to MistyVT place. He said he did not want to be around when the mob arrives at my place.

Good morning & happy Tuesday everyone.

I'm just returning to work today after having a three-day weekend due to the snow storm here in the DC area.

It's cold in the area today & everyone's still cleaning up the mess from the snow storm.

All of the kids here are happy because they got an early start to their Christmas Vacation.


Today's Question:
Yesterday we asked what you didn't want to find under the tree so I have to ask

Is there anything you have HINTED that you really really want to find under the tree ? Yes. While we were in a department store last week, I sprayed some "Estee Lauder" fragrance on my arm & I asked my brother to smell it. I then said to him "Doesn't this fragrance fit me well". He then gave me a funny look, but he previously asked me what type of things do I like, so now I know he has a hint for my gift.


Bonus Question:


When my older sister told me to cut back on shopping & save money , I wanted to say "ROFL Yeah right that's going to happen ? But later on, I found out that was the the truth & I really had to do that once I graduated from college & became more independent with my own home.


Extra Credit Question:

When was the last time you colluded on something with someone ?

It was last summer when I was shopping with my family at a department store.
Both my sister & cousin wanted the same purse, so my cousin asked me to say to my sister 'the purse is ugly' when she ask for my opinion, so that my sister wouldn't buy it.
I tried to do it but when I was about to tell that to my sister in front of my cousin, I couldn't hold a straight face & I just started laughing very loud.
Neither one of them purchased the purse, they both started laughing also.
