Oh, yeah, and my mom is making me a recipe book that has all of her recipes for the stuff she's cooked while I was growing up. It's not finished yet but it'll keep me from having to call her when I'm cooking. You gotta learn somehow.
Thank GOD we can COOK!
You aren't cooking crap. I know that. You know that.

You'll cook pasta. I'll cook everything else.

42" 1080p LCD
Logitech Harmony 880
A universal charging station
Vacuum thermos (which is my favorite gift so far)
Lots of tea
A book on NC BBQ (with a personal note to me by the authors, who are not long for this world)
A donation to Make-a-Wish in my name (second favorite gift)

I have three days of gift time left with the in-laws and their extended. We'll see what shakes out. :)

it's called minidv, most likely.

"MiniDV is one of three common digital formats used in sound and picture recording. Using digital technology, MiniDV captures video and audio on high-density cassette tapes. This format is very popular, as it delivers sound and video that is decidedly sharp and high quality.

The MiniDV format is one of the most commonly used formats for camcorders. Leading manufacturers like Sony, Panasonic, JVC, Sharp, Canon, and many others offer MiniDV camcorders."

I love Bojangles but I've gotta stop eating out all the time and get healthier. This growing up thing sucks.

Floor seats to see Davidson play Duke at Cameron Indoor...that should be intense

Craftsman tools - dont know how to use them but hopefully they have a fuse replacer function

And my diploma got framed which was nice, b/c if it was up to me it would stay in a folder

I gave the gift of financial freedom to all of my family :lol: 8) I gave them the audio books of Rich dad poor dad, Cashflow quadrant, 7 habits of highly effective people, and a few other books


Congrats proto that's good stuff
I'm guessing those didn't cost too much...

Of course not, that would have been a liability not an asset 8) but I'm not sure you have much room since you DID ask me for the same thing!

Bigtime congrats to Proto!

As for today's haul, my primary gift surrounded golf lessons for my son and yours truly. That should be interesting.

I didn't like most of the clothes that I got for Christmas. Luckily, everyone bought them at the same store (i.e. my mom bought them for everyone and they paid her back). I walk into the store today with two pairs of pants, two shirts, and a fleece pullover and walk out with two pairs of pants, three button up shirts, two t-shirts, and two belts for the same price.
