And you know, God bless them for wanting to get me something more personal than a Chapters gift card (which I quite like). And money, which was very highly thought of several years ago when I was a starving journalist and Cathy was substitute teaching, isn't quite as necessary now that we're doing fine.<BR/><BR/>Although my dad did send me some Australian money for Christmas, which was pretty cool. That's some seriously weird currency. ANd it will come in handy when we go there in July.<BR/><BR/>Alas, got a pair of nice sealskin mittens already.<BR/><BR/>As I said, I hate to complain and thank you for the suggestions. There are certainly much worse problems to have than to not really need anything.towniebastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129158923604362272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-84081585312785366662009-01-05T00:51:00.000-05:002009-01-05T00:51:00.000-05:00I know many people think it's a cop-out, but I lik...I know many people think it's a cop-out, but I like gift cards from book stores. Of course, they are not that useful in a state that heavily censors books, nothing but text books are going to get through customs. The virgin megastore isn't exactly mega here either. At least I've been able to find Doctor Who DVDs.tanker bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09080888329110339975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-73534587661203026782009-01-04T23:22:00.000-05:002009-01-04T23:22:00.000-05:00Lego Batman rocks!

Amazon.ca, dinner at a restaurant in Ottawa, St John's or whever your next vacation will be, for the Astro Theatre. Or do travelocity or expedia or something give gift certificates? <BR/><BR/>And if they can pull this off, how about getting you some sealskin mitts? Aaju Peter makes the best ones in town. I think they cost $180 or so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-74110148059904449182009-01-04T15:01:00.000-05:002009-01-04T15:01:00.000-05:00I love the digital photo frame I got for Christmas...I love the digital photo frame I got for Christmas too. <BR/>As for having birthdays just after the holidays, the good thing is people can get you things at a discounted price. I'd suggest people give you money if you might have spent a little too much on Christmas presents. It's easy to just drop by the bank you deal with and make a deposit. I prefer my birthday when it is, which is the middle of August.<BR/>Have a good one.Tracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15335191262266856707noreply@blogger.com
