[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 319352, member: 1233"] so far I have NO CLUE what my kids want. Well, Jessie wants to not hurt and not shake, but otherwise I have little clue. I do know some authors she has been wanting to read, so I will probably get those. Tyler is a total mystery. He keeps saying he knows money is tight so he can just wait until next year for presents. It just breaks my heart to hear that. He doesn't understand that other people are buying presents for him besides us. Brandon is 18 in less than a week. I have no clue what he wants and will probably end up getting him a bunch of giftcards to fast food places and wal-mart or hastings (our book store). If his hangout had gift certificates I would get him one for there, but they still don't. He and his friends play D&D and Magic and even Halo and other video games. The place has all kinds of junk food because the kids stay there for entire weekends or so it seems. They have a second room that is painted black and they have our small town version of "raves". In other places a rave is a party with illegal drugs, and all sorts of other stuff going on, with very little "supervision". Often out in the countryside where there are no neighbors to call the police. Here raves are at this place, part of an almost defunct shopping center. They are at one end, with 3 stores between them and the veterinarian. One of these stores is the room where they have the "raves". I had the "joy" of yanking Wiz out of a rave one night when he "ran away from home". My dad had already gone to bring him home and Wiz packed a bag and left as soon as he got home. So I got called in. The room is painted black. There are some old recliners and chairs and two tables. Several black lights, a strobe light, and some flashing lights in other colors. Kids sitting around or standing, loud music, a little dancing, no smoke of any kind, no alcohol or illegal drugs, and mostly people sitting around. SOOOOO not a real rave. The owner doesn't guarantee that you can come back if you leave. He knows all the parents' numbers soif you do something he calls your MOM - in a smaller town this is more effective than calling the police. Cause the police eventually let you go. MOM is forever, LOL! So I am clueless for the most part. [/QUOTE]
