Need Christmas Gift Ideas?

Have spent the morning self teaching myself about Cascading Stylesheets and practicing with bits of it on my own website. Nothing is uploaded yet, i'm still playing with it but it's the best way to learn, by doing. I like the idea of having only one place to change a style and i've recently converted my main pages so that they are all of a similar look and feel.

I received a couple of mail order catalogues yesterday. Don't know how i got on that list because i didn't request them. No matter. One was more girly, all linens and bedwear and lovely things, and one was a mix of stuff including what might generally be termed "boy" toys. No, no, not *that*. Please refrain from lewd comments, you in the back! Things like a little digital thingo that you can look up ratings for several hundred different beers, fancy headphones, a micro cd system, an internet watch powered by MSN Direct(Dick Tracy lives!) and a Sony 20GB mp3 player for $399 USD. Among other things. They also have health type things like massage chairs, exercise equipment, `various types of massagers from acupressure to foot massager and there's a lovely games table that has Monopoly, Scrabble, Backgammon, Checkers and Chess boards. Fullsize arcade reproductions, electronic gadgets of all sorts and unique gifts. Fascinating stuff. Each has a website so you can check out Brookstone.com and Linensource.com. Prices are in USD

"Hi, i'm calling from (company name that means nothing to me)... you helped us out with a survey in September and we want to offer you a free gift worth $150. Will you be home tonight about 6:30?"

"No, i won't. "

"Ok, thank you. good bye. "


Huh? lolol!!!
Now i know all they want to do is send a sales rep to try to sell me something very expensive like a vacuum cleaner but it's funny she didn't even try to find out when i would be available and when i said i wouldn't be, why i didn't want my free gift. bwahahahaha!

So there is apparently an old UK expression .... when you're telling someone something they already know or know how to do you are "teaching granny to suck eggs"....

This pops out in the middle of a conversation and the next thing i know i'm in a heap of giggles, gasping for breath! And yes, this seems to happen a lot talking to my fella lol He comes out with something so quick in the middle of a description or a conversation it takes me a few seconds to process what i've heard and that's it. I've lost the plot and sunk into hysterical laughter!

But! I did get serenaded :o)
