Garage sale??

That was pun-ny. I sent a set of the 50 Shades books to a friend of mine while she was deployed over in Kuwait. I thought it would give her and the five other women deployed with her something to do for giggles. I think Mr. Gretchen took that as a sign that I needed to own the books. He knows now that he's never allowed to buy me books or small appliances.

Appalling is spot on!"

I didn't want it influencing Good Reads recommendations. They come up with some weird stuff without that particular piece of input. :p

Who the heck would buy it????

Good idea, Ace.

Tuck it away as winter fuel, Gretchen.

Allie wrote: "Garage sale??"

When I come across the books again, I might see if the library wants them. I imagine they already have them. They were probably the three books even the smallest library was forced to buy due to popularity.

Yeah. Good Reads really needs the ability to give negative ratings.

Tim, I feel the same as your wife. I also include cut flowers in that category.

So i should just stick to practical presents like hoovers and saucepans, right?
Maybe after investing in a steel helmet for myself....

You could use one of the saucepans as a helmet ;)

Harder to explain the purchase to the authorities...

[Gretchen]

Unless you're in America. Some might considering an essential part of your wardrobe these days.

[Simona]

Thanks Margaret for your quotes, I'm in my lunch break and I just had a good laugh... I'm thinking that 50 shades could be hilarious if read aloud among friends!

And please everybody, feel free to send me any jewel or cut flower that your spouses may disdain...I appreciate them very much!

[Kat]

.... did anyone say 'spare jewels' ?

I'm open to help you out with those, I have lots of room.

[Margaret, Sherlockian Sheila]

All spare jewels cheerfully accepted. :D

[Laureen]

I love Jade and maybe an emerald or two.

[Lariela]

Entertainer for some reason.

[Mark]

Anyone up for a free north alantic cruise in may next year? Volunteers are required?

Wow, beautiful boat, would prefer a warmer location if I must camp out on the deck! Poor vikings, they did do it tough. They would have aced the Volvo Ocean race.

[Simona]

Tks, I'll babysit Gretchen's kids. I can guarantee to give them back healthy, happy, and rotten spoiled.

I don't know if they can be any more spoiled than they already are.

[Simona]

Try me!!! :)

I'm from the Renaissance Era with a big fat picture of Elizabeth I. Not really surprised.

[Andy]

[Lia]

Ancient Greece!

Me too. Funny that. I would be closer to a Bohemian I think - nothing like Liz 1.

[Mark]

Victorian.

[Ace]

Renaissance. Who writes these quizzes??

[Lariela]

Han dynasty China.

[Allison]

Lia wrote: "Ancient Greece!"

Me too :)

[Kimber]

Renaissance as well. I'll take it. :D

[Jerry]

Tried that quiz. and I've just been told I could be another Leonardo da Vinci. It's just as well it didn't request one of my extremely amateur painting efforts.

We've had some interesting weather in my part of the world this last week, and two friends have suffered in Kendal's worst floods for 100+ years. I wonder if they will let me try some da Vinci style murals - whenever they manage to dry out and start re-decorating.

[Kat]

Ancient Greece.

I bet it was the hairsyle question that decided THAT one... would have pegged myself for Ancient Chinese.

[Tim]

Ancient Greece for me. I think these quizzes are largely a combination of Barnum statements and random number generators.

[Jane]

Me three!

[Margaret, Sherlockian Sheila]

Ancient Greece

You're a striking individualist: you have your own view of life and you are not afraid to counterpose it against public opinion. You don't accept half-measures when expressing your feelings. If you rejoice, then you do it with all your heart; when you cry you sob violently. Your hospitality knows no bounds. Like a true Greek, you adore noisy feasts where wine flows like water. It's a pity you weren't born somewhere in Athens a couple of thousand years ago. You were meant for that place.

*falls over laughing* I hate noisy parties. They're my idea of Hell. Also, I very rarely drink. Who comes up with these things?

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Has everybody finished their Christmas shopping? :-)
I thought I had, but then remembered I still need to buy for my grandparents.

[Margaret, Sherlockian Sheila]

Finished all mine by the first week of November. It's my goal each year. Managed it for the second year running. Am proud of myself. :D

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

I got sidetracked because I didn't need to get my grandads present until the last minute.
What do you get a man who is nearly 100? Mince. :D
He feeds the Magpies and Butcher Birds in his backyard and he was complaining that they had brought their babies and he was using more meat than usual. So I am going to buy him a few kilos of mince to feed his birds. lol.

[Margaret, Sherlockian Sheila]

That is an awesome present, Terri. :D

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Thanks. :-D Now he can stop complaining about trying to feed the babies on a pension.

[Tim]

Finished christmas shoping? Its a nearly two weeks til christmas! I plan to start this weekend

Hehe, I thought it had something to do with his dentures.

[Gretchen]

I use to get my grandparents coffee and peppermints. They were the two things used most often. I have been done Christmas shopping since November. I always start early. I worked in retail too long. I hate being in stores when it gets close to Christmas.
