you may want to be careful about that comment. next thing you know she will think you are making a comment about her cooking.

Never mix Vitamin C with Calcium. I learned the hard way. (lol)

Back on topic, My worst christmas present is the worst ever, imo:
Nothing at all.

No, I thinks it's worse when you get something super cool that won't work. I got 2 Maxtor Diamond max 9's and a Highpoint rocket RAID 1520 raid card, that I can't get to complete a format. And I got them a week early, so I've had a week to get it figured out, and am still at square 1. So remember this when you see posts from me that sound smart.

I broke down and finally got a "Decent" digital camera this year.
The best how ever was having my daughter come home from the hospital after a two week stay.

Sorry to hear your daughter was ill. I hope she is on her way to a full recovery!

My Christmas present got lost in the mail. It's a Van Gogh print and it should be arriving by the 28th! Looks like Santa did not want to deliver it himself, so...what does that tell you?

Worst present was a pair of Xmas toe socks, embellished with a green frog wearing a santa hat.

F-porche once received nothing at all? That is terrible. I hope it did'nt happen when you were a child. I read a long post in another forum about a child who was at a large family get together at xmas who never received a gift. I will look for it and post it - its a long read though.
My parents were not well-to-do when I was a child. The 50s were tough times for many. We always had Christmas and gifts. One Christmas they could not afford a turkey and Mom baked a chicken instead. They were worried about the neighbourhood finding out and coached me into saying I had had turkey for Xmas dinner. Definately, the wrong thing to do. When the teacher at school asked me in front of the class, I said " we had turkey and chicken".
I can remember my parents bringing home a box(large family) of Mackintosh apples on xmas eve. I had never eaten one before. To this day I savour a good Mac apple.

We all felt bad that you didn't receive a gift, F-porche, so we pitched in and got you this. http://www.porsche.com.tw/ch/bilder/boxster/02.jpg

(lol) Wow! This...... *Sniffles* means...... *sniffles again*..... the world to me! Thank you! *runs off crying*
No, just kidding lol. Sweet pic, but it'd be better if you have a video clip ! The funny part was when you said "we all pitched in and got you this." Yeah, that takes alot of man-power to get that bad-boy!

That's the best gift a dad could ever get. I too hope her good luck!

I actually like to "GIVE" and not to recieve.The best present ever is seeing someone SMILE really really big and have a surprise look on their face.

Not that I would NOT take what someone gave me....LOL
Is that a bad thing?

"Merry Christmas"
