Since you all have great volunteering ideas, I thought I'd pick your brains about what to give high tech men who have everything for Christmas.

I know it's not much to spend, but I didn't make the rules about this gift exchange.  Need something that would work for boys and girls.  I was hoping to be a little more creative than Mickey D's certificates.  Thanks for the ideas.  It's greatly appreciated.  :>)

I am doing the salad, chicken, turkey thing, but I will be getting sick of salad soon.  I do not like fish, so what other options do I have?  Any ideas/recipes would be appreciated.  I can have red meat once a week.

Thanks!

He is SO hard to buy for.  I always buy him token clothes, which he needs, but would like to buy him something really special this year.  He doesn't wear jewelry or cologne.  He recently started wearing a watch, but he dug out his old one, so don't need that.  Any suggestions?  Thanks! 

Soccer season is over in a month (U8) and I'm team mom so wanted to come up with a coach's gift.  I know there are the standard team plaques, etc but I'd really like to get him something different.  He's an awesome coach.  The other parents haven't really come up with any ideas but are willing to split the cost of something within reason.

Any ideas??

My nephew is graduating from the Police Acad. in a couple of weeks.  Does anyone have any ideas what would be a good gift?  I hate giving money. I did look on line and got some ideas but I thought I would ask to see if anyone has had experience with this.  TIA

Hi.  I need ideas for kids to make gifts (minimal painting, minimal glueing) as they have to be ready to wrap.  What was your favorite keepsate gift from your child so far?

TIA

really hasn't given me any ideas.  She does not want a class ring now (she is a sophomore this year).  She does not like her birthstone but does like pearls and emeralds but has not really given me a straight answer as to whether she would prefer a ring, earrings or a necklace.  She plays a lot of sports so I am not sure she will be able to keep track of nice jewelry either and I really don't want to spend good $$ if she might lose it.  I only have a week left and wanted to get her something special because it is her 16th but just can't come up with anything nor can I get her to give me a good idea.  Thanks. 

My husband uses something to spy on our kids when they are online.   He can log in to his computer either on his lap top or at work and then follow their conversations if they are talking on messenger or writing emails.   He said he can even manipulate the cursor so it messes with them.  He thinks it's funny.

It makes me wonder now if he is doing the same thing to me because I notice my cursor go crazy occasionally when I'm working.  How can I tell if he has it on mine?

I already asked him point blank if he was doing it to me and he denied it of course but I don't believe him.

I have been trying to open a video of a speech my nephew gave and cannot get my computer to open it.  It asks what program to open it with (or if want to do a Internet search), and I have tried both.  The Internet thing didn't come up with anything I found useful, and my own computer only has Windows Media Player, which did not work.

My sister says it works on hers ... it does not even ask what to open; simply opens and plays.  She cannot tell what program it is using. 

The file says it's a MP-4 auto file if that helps.

Thanks for any help you can give me. 

I wonder if Pebble Tech is the right choice.  One adult, four animals, 1400 sq. foot.  What I am concerned about is being able to keep it clean and how comfortable they are to walk on with bare feet.  Cost is fairly reasonable when compared to tile and the look I like (the beach!).

Anyone have experience with this type of flooring?  Will it make my home look like a business rather than a home?  Is keeping it clean a hassle? 

Thank you much!

In Blacksburg, VA.  Someone went on a shooting rampage and he and at least 20 others are confirmed dead.  My son is in high school but was there today on a field trip.  He and his class were walking on campus when a professor took them to a safe room in the basement of a building.  My son used his cell (wasn't supposed to have it with him but thank goodness he did) to call my hubby, and he came home from work to tell me.  I of course went all to pieces but am a little better now. Just can't imagine what the parents of the other students are going through. They are now allowed to leave as soon as the can find the bus and bus driver.  He was sent to another part of the campus.  Just needed to talk about this a little.  Thanks for listening. 

but not in a good way.  Your humor makes me laugh!  Hope your wife didn't stay mad long.  Another good mark for you, at least you didn't lie or omit that you're married.  Hey use some of that money you saved from the butler and buy your wife some flowers to replace that frying pan she's chasing you around with  

Keep up the great jokes though, you make this board what it's supposed to be, fun! 

So I've got this thingy set up to "alert" me whenever my "handle" comes up or the name of the company I work for--and it shows this wacked thread!  

I'd love to see a woman in the White House as well, but definitely not the one currently running.  There's something about her that just rubs me.  Oh yeah, the fact that she's still married to that dickhead for starters. 

I'd vote for Ellen DeGeneres...female, gay (really frost the republicans behinds!)...and most important....A FRIGGIN RIOT!   I'd love to believe that the world's problems could be solved with humor.  It'd be fun to see her give it a shot though.  Jon Stewart would make a great vice president.

If I were president, the White House would have a petting zoo, the rose garden would also have petunias in it, macaroni and cheese would occupy at least 1/4 of the food pyramid.  Camp David would be open to the general public.  All UFO information would be declassified.  Political correctness would be outlawed and greenbud would be legal.  Lastly, public schools would have classes on manners, school uniforms, and corporal punishment...but I guess that goes back to my pervy private fantasies again....
