Gifts That Come From The Heart

Gifts of one who loved me, --
'T was high time they came;
When he ceased to love me,
Time they stopped for shame.

from Essays: Second Series (1844)
by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Have you ever sat there and wrecked your brain to come up with what you thought would be the perfect gift for someone special? I am sure you have, then you will also surely forgive me for my post today. (Am I allowed to vent?)

So I was faced with a decision about what to give. It was a special occasion and nothing seemed good enough. I made long lists in my mind of possible items that I could give, only to cross them out almost immediately. This one was too insignificant, that one too common, this one too elaborate, that one too impersonal. I needed a special gift for I had Khalil Gibran

How do you write so well? Whatever you write, its always brilliant. :D

Some people do not deserve any gifts, any care, any love, any special attention. Learn to iggy, Lily - a tit for tat is what some people deserve.

Nice to see you back. And stop disappearing. And think of a gift for me, cause I am in the LFDOU :$:$:$

No no Lily. Not the ignore button. Try and find the eject button. Khaachk - Out - Khaachk. As if nothing was inside, ever :D

You keep wearing your thinking cap. After LFDOU, I will in IDOE and LBE and :$:$:$.

That guy has to be a total moron and a homar to boot. Not to mention being a thundering herd of alooj. Disgusting behaviour, throw something heavy at him, failing which throw a tantrum. But then, he is just a man.

As for the rest of the comments, my brow is still furrowed from trying to figure out the conversation between these ladies. In the interests of having a baby smooth unlined forehead which my stature demands, I shall, with great dignity, watch cricket.

I second 'throw something heavy at him'. Failing which, forget the tantrum and throw something heavier at him. Keep going... :D

madcap: what do you suggest I should throw? and yes, sighs, just a man not a g..! :P

Aran: any preferences as to size & weight?

gives a horrified look at Aran, you want to hurt him, not obliterate the poor man!

Lily, I suggest toasters, very good to throw. Failing which, I suggest an Ambassador carburettor.

madcap: lol, but it isn't really ladylike to throw such stuff. As for Ambassadors, grins, without the carburettors, I have recalled mine, let the jaw-jaw begin. Let him send his Ambassador, then we can see ;)
