I have bought or am buying my present from Tsu this year: Air compressor, fish tanks, tubing, fittings, lights, various nutrient supplements, cold press, centrifuge, microscope... the normal stuff.

A 19" x 38" picture frame -- That's a tough size to find. I think I'll have to have one made.

Light bulbs -- What in the world? It seems like it was just last week (or was it last month, or last spring) that I was asking why we had three boxes of light bulbs with one bulb missing from each box. Now I have three burnt out light bulbs and no spares. Maybe I better not wait until Christmas.

A new Jeep -- I seriously think I should really replace it this year (not give it to my daughter, then fly to her house to take it back). It is 15 years old, after all.

I didn't know Tsu was selling stuff, running a little side business out of the emergency room, is she?

Hee hee, no, I didn't buy them from her. They are her gifts to me; but I bought them. :rolleyes:

Just office supplies. :biggrin:

btw, I accidentally edited your post. I don't think I've ever done that before.

Phew! From that list, I thought you might be trying to have a baby or something. It seems like an awfully complicated process for the grays. :-p :smile:

Well, can't we BOTH get tickled?
