Christmas Gift Ideas !

[Radagast]

With Christmas drawing ever closer, some may be facing the challenge of what to give for Christmas. The ideas are simple for some, but for others we face more difficulty.

My Christmas list is both easy and hard. Take my sister-in law for example. She does not need any more clothes and a kitchen ware or house cleaning gift would not go over well. As a result I've alternated giving her a nice table candle or scented bath soaps.

While pajamas work for some, they don't work for others. There was a time when power tools worked for some, but no longer.

I've started this thread to be a help for members. Suggestions, help request, holiday ideas, etc. now have a thread. Hopefully someone will benefit from another members good holiday spirit.

Merry Christmas !

The only conclusion I can come to is that Packerrats is being used as a Dropbox for coded messages for a nefarious organization.

[Radagast]

Unhappy people sometimes use a forum to vent their sad lives upon. The shame is that too many people build walls instead of bridges. No hidden coded messages here, just a hope that all have a happy holiday season.

Rad - You have to be reasonable. You make threads in RR that are cool and get people talking as you see in the BBQ one. But then you say global disses that are not cool. You cant expect posters to want to chat it up with you when you insult their intelligence and seriously call them idiots. It’s one thing to battle with someone because you don’t agree. It’s another to take your ball and go home then act surprised when they don’t want to play with you later.

Arguing or debating is part of the fun of posting IMO. Grouping the entire forum into the category of idiots is wrong. I could see if you said that to me or Red. But there are many informed posters who try having a little fun with you. Instead of rising to the occasion you shrink. Battle back if you choose but stop getting all butt hurt with everyone might help.

Believe as you please, but I'll not back down to a racist or be bullied by anyone. Debating should be a part of this forum, but personal attacks and low class behavior can't be overlooked when it's directed in my direction. More than one posters are on my ignore list, so I'm trying to avoid confrontations. Not all forum members are idiots, yet too many would fit in just fine with the 13/14 year old at a middle school.

I don't know your age, but I grew up with Bob Hope and Carol Burnett and many others that did not feel the need to use vulgarity or sex to get a laugh. You can call me what you will, but I've refused to lower my standards to accommodate anyone. It's always been easier to lower standards than to elevate them. In addition, I also salute those rare post/posters that do write impressive prose and present a valid argument.

I don't feel the need to wallow in the mud because others do it..

Lets do things your way then.

You DO NOT decide what is or isn’t at this forum. You ARE NOT the morality police here. YOU, RADAGAST have zero authority on any matter here. You ARE not here to contest the will of Sauron or PackerRats.

HAVE A GOOD DAY, sir!

I gotta ask again, have there been any Woodbuck sightings lately? Is multiple accounts still a no no? This one is a little more cantankerous than the last one, but I would bet my kids chickens they come from the same stock.

Pics or it didn’t happen!


That was Gandalf. You lose nerd cred on that one.
