[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 284538, member: 84"] Susie *Food for Thought* Some people are really uncomfortable receiving gifts. Really. I know cuz I'm one of them. (I'm trying to do better) Now that doesn't mean these same people won't go out of their way to do something nice for someone........or to give gifts of their own. I know I drive my kids bonkers. easy child especially as she'd love to lavish me with expensive gifts. I finally got her to stop. I truly appreciate them and the thought behind them, but each day she shows me how much she loves me. As do her sibs. So I really don't need gifts, especially expensive ones to tell me the same thing. Know what I mean?? I don't like answering machines either. lol Nor will I get the messages off the darn thing. Heck, we've had it 6 yrs and I just now am starting to learn how to use it. lol And I won't leave a message on a machine. Ever. I want to talk to a person. :) You're right. It probably doesn't bug your Dad at all. Mom on the other hand is wanting you to do the "proper" thing. bah! I didn't call my dad on father's day. Actually didn't even give the man a thought. Don't feel bad about it either. I talk to him on the phone maybe once a year tops.....and that's cuz my brother pushes him into it. Not that he has anything to say anyway. He is very uncomfortable talking on the phone. Oh, and lot of men, especially the older generation, aren't comfortable with phone conversation. They like it short, to the point, and over with. lol Sorry this is going to be held over your head. Not one of my kids remembered to tell husband happy fathers day this year. And I've just kept my mouth shut. That's between them and him. Karma baby. ;) (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
