Your friend is very lucky indeed to have you for a friend! ;-)


Thank you...

Only certain friends get beaded or stitched gifts. The ones who appreciate
them.


I'll never give my sister anything beaded again. She'd be bitching about
how
her work scissors would walk away - so I made a long beaded leash that
would
clip to her desk drawer and the scissors. I think it is still sitting in
her
bedroom because it was too nice for the office (she works at the transfer
station). It was plastic beads for a reason....

I was going to trade my sister for yours.....but I wouldn't do that to you.
Mine has more money than Bill Gates, yet buys all of our Xmas gifts at
thrift shops, dollar stores and discount outlets.........in other words,
anywhere she can save a buck. It doesn't matter to her that the item is too
small, too ugly, wrong colour or wrong style.....and I have no clue why she
is so thoughtless.

Picture a slightly overweight woman with 3 chins trying on this gift......a
tight spandex turtleneck in what could only be called sh*t brindle brown.
Said woman tossed it back to her and told her to take it back......of course
she couldn't cuz discount store sales are final. LOL.

OTOH, she got mad at me when I went to the dollar store the next year and
bought all of her stuff there and wrapped it in newspaper.....ROFL!! Yelled
at me, in fact. Heh heh......I loved it. But she still didn't get the
hint.

Sisters.......take mine please!!

HF (of course, I don't know the overweight woman..cough....but we all get a
good giggle out of that Xmas)



Ah - sisters, they are a pip sometimes. But I'll keep mine, I know her bad
habits already.

and we still laugh about the year I received a green pepper and salt from a
cousin's wife (now ex). Inside the box was the tag from the year before - it
was from my sister to the cousin.

I ask for garden stuff for a reason, if doesn't last, it can go in the
compost pile!

OMG! My sister does/did the same thing.

I have 4 other brothers and sisters, so buying xmas for all of them and their
families would be too
much a burden on all of us when we were first starting out - so we put all
names in a hat and drew
names. I don't know why, but my sister ALWAYS got my name. For 4 years, I
asked for Isotoner
gloves, and what did I get from her?

#1 - knitted Mittens
#2 - cheap imitation bulky gloves
#3 - knitted Mitten gloves (each finger was a different color, with a covering
that went over the
fingers to form mittens)
#4 - Cheap imitation bulky gloves that were so stiff, I couldn't make a fist

I finally got my isotoners from my hubby the year after.

My sister always bought people crap, from crap stores, for crap prices too.
She still might... but
after the 5th or 6th xmas where we (hubby and I) got nothing but crap from my
sister and hubby, I
said I wasn't doing it any longer and I was only buying for the kids!!

Are all sisters alike?
