It is interesting how they get the "juice" inside of the candy. I know how it is done, but will leave that as a secret or if someone else would like to tell it, it is OK with me, but my lips are sealed!!!!

The only electrical advice I give her is......." Don't touch a thing. Don't let anyone else touch it. When I come up I'll fix it "

You call that a strange gift....? The rest of us should be fortunate enough to get something that strange !!!

Steven · Dec 28, 2003

well it was kind of strange as I was not expecting anything like that. I don't think I will be returning it.

This is one I gave and it's "strange" to me only because I don't understand the technology. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif I got my son an Apple iPod MP3 player/recorder that holds something like 10,000 songs in a digital format. The most strange or amazing part to me is that this thing is about the size of a deck of playing cards and only half as thick. He was really surprised and elated to get it as he'd never even mentioned it to me and had only said something to his sister about liking them. She's the poor, struggling law student so it wasn't a gift hint but rather conversation about one she'd borrowed and used when she was in Europe last summer with the law school. He's moving to Monterrey Mexico in a month for a six month assignment there so it'll be a great thing for him to take with him there. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

One might consider a gift I got from my daughter to be "strange" if taken out of context. I had asked my son for a new arctic weight Carhartt coat for Christmas since he's now out of school and earning a great living. I asked my daughter for the matching snap on hood. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Gary, I have the perfect gift for you to give him on the next occasion, birthday or whatver. Not only is that iPod a great "tunes" machine, but it's Audible-ready, meaning that he can join audible.com and download audible books, then play them on the iPod to "hear" the latest bestsellers and a lot more. They have several subscription programs, and the prices work out to a lot less than recorded books in traditional formats, and not much more than paperback versions. If he likes books, that should come in handy in Mexico.
