The discussion revolves around the dynamics of office holiday gift exchanges, particularly the "white elephant" style where participants can either pick a gift or steal one from someone else. Participants share their experiences, highlighting the fun aspects when the right gifts are involved, such as coveted items like six-packs of beer or humorous gifts like a velvet Elvis painting that became a running joke. The conversation also touches on the challenges of ensuring gifts are desirable, with some lamenting the prevalence of poor-quality gifts that detract from the enjoyment of the game.Additionally, there are anecdotes about personal gift exchanges, including chocolate gifts that generally please recipients, and the importance of considering dietary restrictions. The dialogue shifts to Valentine's Day plans, with one participant contemplating giving massage coupons and thoughtful cards to friends, while also discussing the nuances of expressing affection without coming on too strong. The exchange of light-hearted banter and humorous remarks about gift choices and personal relationships adds to the overall camaraderie of the conversation.

So I take it that's a go on putting that on the card. Now, it's more friendly than intimate (I guess that's a good word for it)? I really don't want to come off like I really want to get with her, you know? Of course, if I had a chance I'd ask her out, but that's not where I'm going with this.

Including your sister? (I could have sworn you said daughter. That's why I said it earlier in the other thread. I knew I should have chedked it before I said it.)

Children are fascinating creatures. I plan to build several of my own next spring in my robotics class. :smile:
My sister Lurleen is still hooked up with her suitor, Travis. My brother and I did our best to break them up on New Year's Eve with no luck. :frown:

Keep trying. I'm sure you'll get to her one day. :approve:

For a little update, I got the cards I plan on sending. I made sure they have enough room in them so I can write what I want, including that little poem I gave you earlier.
