Guys get a decent "Dressy" sports watch w. a black band (no cheesy gold) - About $35 apiece

Pearl stud earrings for the sniper chick - about as non-threatening as it gets.

we gave 1 & 2 night stays at the hotel we all stayed in.

I know I made gift packs up as well, each got a nice soft blanket with our wedding colors and candles and stuff like that.

I think an hour getting a massage would be a wonderful gift

They all dont have to get the same thing - maybe just the same value

sure dont hurt to have someone to help out when we need it. Would be nice for contact people to remind us to pitch in for flowers and collect the money and buy them/deliver them etc.

I don't think we spent a whole lot on them. It should be something personalized, kinda like what OT said.

I have gotten a really cool beer mug with a pewter looking engravy-thingy on it from my one friend... and the others I got nuttin'.

I think it's the thought that counts. Maybe try an empty envelope and say it is full of pleasant wishes. :grin:

Give the tech guy an Atari 64, and the accountant $25. He'll appreciate that it falls under the gift rules and is non-taxable. :smile:

A gift certificate to Timberlodge or something?

I didn't call.

I would do it in a heartbeat if I didn't have to call another and ask and try to explain how cool it is and then get it home to have someone think it's stupid. :frown:

thanks for the offer bear.

My brother got me a Really Nice beer Mug that I have not used once since his wedding!!! it is etched with a deer and my name!! I love it thats why I dont use it!!

And I was best man at one of my other friends weddings and he gave me a flask with my name on it I lost that and didn't think it was as kool!! not as personal but the thought was what mater to me because it was from him!!

the mug my bro. got me was nice because he put something I loved to do and my name on something that can be used any time I want to!!!

the flask was only good for ball games and stuff like that!! but my friend was on a real tight budget!! so like I said it was the thought espally since I meet him in treatment!! and group for being bipolar!! lol and we both had just quit drinking!!! lol lets see give a drunk a flask when they are dry??? :eyeroll: :eyeroll:

that lasted all of 3 days I think!!! lol

This sounds like an April Fools story, but its not.

From 5PM yesterday to noon today, we've been in a blizzard, including 40mph winds, 20-foot waves on Lake Superior, and the town just west of here got 25" of wet, heavy snow. My neighborhood, it is more like 15". But I had to clear out in front of my garage, where the plow never gets that close, and I had a difficult time of it.

By mid-afternoon, though, the sun was out, the big waves had broken up all the ice moguls in the bay, and the surfers were out!

For my cousin's wedding (she's like a sister to me) I got a flask for a gift for being a part of the wedding, even though I don't drink and have never drank.

For my wedding with Coco, I gave my groomsmen cuff links from Europe.

Well, don't forget those letters from home. But I wouldn't get any. My family would disown me. :sillygrin:

Maybe OT and her daughter can go on. Like Dick and Danielle! Or one of her sons, like Rich! So Dick and Jane can be on!

I think the 15-16 coolerheads locked in a box for even ten days would probably be enough. By Day 15 we'd witness the first escape tunnel dug in Big Brother history! (The pool would be a bit muddy)

10. If you are selected to be interviewed, you will be given, and must complete and return (prior to the date of your personal interview in Los Angeles), a Medical History Form.

No, completely 100% cut off. Last season two of them went on "Power of 10" and Drew Carey told them he was the new host of the Price is Right. Nobody in the house believed him.

Well, if you think about how many cyber-stalkers and Net TV viewers are watching your every move - you kind of ARE the internet. Makes me feel like Al Gore... not!

did you ever see that Twilight Zone episode when the girl/guy types to the computer and the computer is always there and then the computer goes on vacation or something and sends postcards by email to the computer owner or something. hmmmm I remember the computer getting mad that the person was gone though and became evil.

the best thing i received as a gift was at kid and coco's wedding. a pair of cuff links she brought back from italy for each of us to match the colors of the wedding.

Yeah, Ares, but all of your friends are nerds. Did you get them a monogrammed pocket protector to go along with their nerd starter kit?

One step forward, two steps back:

Got the bearmobile back. So that's good.

Mama bear is having to have surgery and have her foot broken in a couple places because it's not healing right from the last surgery in December where she had her foot broken in a couple places to make it heal right.

Also, Granny Bear failed her driving eye exam for her license renewal. So...she'll most likely need to move into assisted living, probably a week before my wedding.

Yeah. Wednesday was great. :frown:
