[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 369129, member: 1233"] For the most part I go by whatever list Wiz gives me. There are some things I refuse to purchase, like much of his music. He likes music with very dark messages and then has to fight depression. I won't play into that. Esp not when he still needs 3 medications that work on various things and also have antidepressant benefits, basically 3 a/d's with side effects that help other things. I don't think it is kind to do things to exacerbate the depression, Know what I mean?. I also try to keep in mind things he would use but not remember to write on a list. If he was in difficult child mode again he would NOT get gift cards. I don't know about where all of you live, but here there is almost always someone at Walmart or the gas station who wants to pay for your stuff with their gift card and have you give them cash. One guy even wanted me to use the ATM to get cash to pay him when I wasn't using cash to pay for gas. I won't do that and I won't give a gift that can be turned into cash easily. In my area gift cards are pretty much like cash because so many people see no problem in giving someone cash if they have a GC to use. I do go to Wiz' gaming place and get gift certificates there, but I know that there is NO WAY the owner will let anyone do that and no way he will let the kids use drugs or alcohol there. He calls the cops if the kids come in drunk, high or otherwise messed up. For some reason it doesn't drive any of the kids away. [/QUOTE]
