You're very kind, Sara.

It's a complete joy to have this opportunity.

I still miss the sound of a manual typewriter coming from the kitchen late at night.

Me, too.

And the smell of strong coffee brewing in the wee hours of the morning.

This list is full of great suggestions…especially for those on the naughty list! I have a Trump-head toilet brush ready for one of my family members…🤣

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Got to see that one, Carolee. If Pam Bondi gets wind of it you'll be on the next plane to El Salvador.

Merry Christmas

Yes. Part of the problem is that the stores put them right by the cash registers and people see them, and say “Oh yeah, that’s what I need to get.“ They are so easy. However, I shouldn’t complain. I admit I did buy some for Christmas. Everyone asks for them so, of course, you buy them. Oh well.

I find your assumption that you are on the Nice list charming. In keeping with the Christmas season it gives me hope as well.

Bob Dunning's avatar

Not sure i qualify for "nice," Steve, but I can fake it for a few days, I suppose

Not bad Bob, but you left out a simple one. Buying a gift card to a Department store, such as Macy's, that the person will never shop at.

Bob Dunning's avatar

Yep, gift cards are the biggest scams going. The merchant gets all the money up front, the card gets lost in the wash or never used or only partially used. Or even when people use all of it, they buy extra stuff over and above. Profit margin on gift cards is astronomical.

So many thoughts are spawned by the Best Gifts for Men…however, I’ll keep it to this: surely they have the technology to add the “margin indicator bell” to the Keychron K8 Pro Mechanical Keyboard…just to add the perfect finishing touch to a cross-country red-eye flight experience💁🏻‍♂️

Happy holidays…🙏🏼

Merry Christmas from our family to yours, Bill.

Keep those bells ringing.

Really, Bob. . . potty humor? It's Christmas, for goodness sake.

Bob Dunning's avatar

Guilty as charged, Diane

Ha! Thank you for the bidet attachment idea. A relative and I buy each other poop-themed gifts each year (long story...). This is perfect! Merry Christmas!

Bob Dunning's avatar

I guess that makes for a Merry Christmas, Lynn. To each their own.
