Yep, fun for the whole family. (at least that's what I thought)

I've never understood how anyone could willingly use a bidet.

(Not that I have any personal experience in the matter - I don't have the requisite physical characteristics to use one).

I bet Dante would of devoted a stanza or two to the "Toilets that Squirt Your Naked Derriere With Water" circle of Hell.

Well, the thing IS heated ... further deponent sayeth not.

action figures they are ''shimterrific''

We did reach a compromise of sorts - I've gotten guns for Christmas & birthday.

You gotta love female FReepers . . .

Ummmm.... You don't have a backside?!? :-D

Dude, between him and them, there wouldn't BE any house when we got back! LOVE your tagline, btw!

[Johnny_Cipher]

Err, I thought a bidet was for ... oh never mind :)

[Sub-Driver]

I forgot to mention the iron also.........Anyway, my sister's mother inlaw buys the strange's gifts for everyone - really wierd stuff. We always have a good laugh afterwards and then a few years ago we started giving everyone else her presents - to which has turned Xmas into more fun than you can believe (everyone has a good sense of humor in my family). We usually spend an hour opening "gag" gifts and laughing until our sides are splitting....

Here's how I am. I told my husband for every gift giving occassion what I wanted. One year just a book and quiet time to read it. Once, new dishes. Other times practical gifts. (I am a low maintenance wife).

Every year, he would listen to his friends who said get jewelry or perfume or some other useless, to me, trinket.

Last year I said I wanted a freezer. He finally listened. He told his friends who razzed him, but when they saw my excited reaction to the freezer they finally understood, and so did he.

I have always told him point blank what I wanted, but I think he was embarrassed to tell his friends. Now he knows.

This year for Christmas, I asked for good cookie sheets and ice trays. These are things I want, need and always forget to pickup.

"I don't understandley people using first names for surnames?"

:o)

And here I thought I was fooling myself thinking anyone would ever pick up on that word play...

I'm honored.

I'm still waiting on my 10th Anniversary shed. Our anniversary was last month, and I wanted a shed, and I'm getting a shed...it's just that he's a slow planner. I got him a Toro self-propelled lawnmower.

I'm very hard to buy for, because if I want something, I buy it, so I already have everything I want. I'm not extravagant. And I'm not big on jewelry. And I'm not big on knicknacks. I have enough knicknacks.

We usually don't give each other anything for Christmas, anyway. We spend so much money on each other's families and we get alot of joy out of that. If we do give each other something, it's usually something like a book or a CD or something small like that, just so we can say we gave each other something.

Yes, moving to Texas! My entire family is really looking forward to it. We have been stuck in Germany for 3 and a half years (deployment and stop-move) and are ready to get back to the USA.

We will be moving to Wichita Falls, hubby got an instructor position at Sheppard AFB.

[Abogado]

Same here. She tells me what I bought her and I buy what I want. No games, guessing, hassels, etc.

If you're interested in sex, never get your wife a ThighMaster for her birthday.

[LauraJean]

My son gave me a beautiful set of knives for Christmas and a knife sharpener. It's something I can use every day. I was sure happy to get it.

[najida]

I am surprised she didn't kill him.

The rules are simple.

Nothing that plugs in,
And you never go wrong with jewelry.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

What am I going to do with the other 45?

Sell them on eBay and then go to Amazon.com and get the book "How to Make One or Two Shims in the Workshop".

Sorry. Have to disagree with you. I think giving a toilet seat is insulting and embarassing. I'm a woman and not materialistic, but would be disgusted receiving a gift like that.

I received a pair of $25.00 pajamas for Christmas and that was just great.
