We're making stuff for people this year. Canning, baked goods, paintings, etc. I got a shingle hammer and a Milwaukee sawzall as early Christmas presents/necessary items to complete the honey-do list, and aside from a good pair of Sorel inclement weather boots, I don't really have a burning desire for anything else.

This is cool.  I'd infinitely prefer stuff like this given to me than some thoughtless DVD I won't watch or something similar.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

How many of you guys are not afraid to buy clothes for your wife/girlfriend? I used to be. Still wouldn't buy some things. Like jeans, for example. Too hard to get right without trying them on. How many of you actually know their dress size off the top of your head?   :P

I get a kick out of having people denied bail right before Christmas.   :cool:

Mind you, that's probably because of how hard it is to do. <_<

That's the highway to the danger zone right there, son.  "Honey, what's your dress size?"

I just check her clothes.  I did it a couple times without it being too disastrous.  But now I just buy her shiny things.
