Silliest gift you've ever received?
Was it a bar of soap? Socks? A comb?!

My mom gets me some doozies. I know she scours every clearence sale she can find. It doesn't matter, really, it's the thought that counts.
Some of the more interesting ones:
An eyeglass holder with cats on it (I guess when you take your glasses off to go to sleep or shower, this little plate thing will make sure they don't get lost.) Cute gift, but I don't WEAR glasses. So, I use it for a spoon rest on my stove.
She gives me stuff I left behind when I moved out of my parents house. In particular, she gave me my wedding ring from my first marriage, I don't know what to do with it, I mean, I paid $100 for it in 1999, but my second husband gave me his grandmother's wedding band/engagement ring set, so I don't really need another wedding band, plus I think that ring may be cursed.

You could always sell it as gold though and get some $ outta it. 
Hubby got me a
Disney jiggly light up pen with Captain Hook on it
http://www.justlites.com/diliuppepepa.html
You touch the pen to the paper and the little Captain Hook thing lights up, plus it has all these red feathers around it. It's kind of unusual. He bought it at Wal-Mart for a dollar because I can almost trace my family tree back to the pirate Blackbeard who some say his name was the same as my maiden name. Aaarrggghhh...prepare to set sail, abast ye, ya maiteys, walk the plank (and all that pirate talk)

Have you been working on your family tree?
yeah, I've been working on it for almost 20 years now. Not constantly, but I've done alot of work on it. It was easier when I worked at the library and lived near where alot of the ancestors lived.Diabolique wrote:

Now that I've moved away, I have to rely on the internet and other people's research. I have traced back to my great great great great grandparents myself, and through other people research can trace back further. Its kinda interesting.

A few years back, Chooch gave me this "gag gift" from Spencers (that alone should tell you something about it.) A Penis Barbell!
Think she's trying to tell me something???

And Im goin with some hesitation
You know that I can surely see
That I dont want to get caught up in any of that
Funky $hit goin down in the city
