[QUOTE="Star*, post: 487732, member: 4964"] Soooooooo you went on vacation huh? Did you bring ME back something pretty? (snort) I'm still waiting for Hersheys to invent a kiss that is sugar free. Dratted Hershey candy for being the best tasting kisses in the world. Okay next to a donkey nuzzle....(thinks a moment) ANNNNNd my dogs - omg my dogs always have a great healing power in their kisses, and DF - he has pretty sweet kisses too. Other than that? I have had Hersheys sugar free, carmel filled, miniatures and mm mmmmmmm they make you want to slap your momma. Or was that the Dove Dark chocolate truffles? Either way my Northern Mother said if I slap her I won't have teeth in my mouth to eat anything so it wouldn't matter, but you get my Southern jist. And as far as the presents go? I really agree with what you're saying. Sometimes - and I have had a really difficult task in explaining this to people in the past that know Dudes past - but sometimes? You just have to do what you want to do because it makes YOU feel good, normal, right, happy. I can literally see your son sitting in your living room with his brothers opening up their new gifts and you dolling out a used pawn shop computer and saying "We love you - Merry Christmas!" Yeah - (sigh) Doesn't make much good for your heart does it to think about that scene? Mine either - so when that time of year for gift giving comes around I usually just go, get, wrap and do without much adoo about it. I'm an adult and I'll give what I like to whom I please. And if the whom goes off and pawns it or sells it? Well then I guess I have a good enough batch of friends to come here and say nothing other than "I'm sorry" and not "I told you so." I told you so's are so over rated because you never get the chance to stand up and say it back to the naysayers when the kid actually keeps the gifts you give him. Then it just makes you look like a nut. Dancing around in your living room, pointing at your kid, playing with the gift.....in July and saying SEE I told you he'd keep it..I told you he wouldn't get rid of it.....I told you I told you....neener nenner boo boo.. I mean seriously you start that and you're liable to get a real vacation at the State Bed and Breakfast - Know what I mean?? (although there is something to be said for 3 hots and a cot, craft class and a personal therapist, plus medications) Whatever reason a kid does what he does? Heaven only knows - really. I stopped trying to put the word LOCIGAL anywhere NEAR Dudes name a long time ago and I'm a lot happier. Let me know what you got me....lol you know - from vacation. I ask everyone......just soze you know. Hugs & Love Star [/QUOTE]
