    Fixed that for ya :D 

    *scrolls back up* Nope. :p 

    I love surprises, but as much as I do, I just go ahead and do the Christmas shopping. I tend to be able to find the better deals and such, plus it saves my wife having to scratch her head and be like "what IS this even?"

    Family is different mainly because you have more direct access to everyone's faults . . . and those faults spilling over into your own life sometimes. Sometimes, we just have to learn to love by suffering well. Sometimes, it's as simple as implementing avoidance as much as possible.

    Hopefully sharing what you have has helped you some.

    Honestly, I try to make a habit of when I talk to people to be a better listener than a speaker. People will have to typically ask me what I TFs I got and such like that. Part of that is still a holdover from collecting during a time period where Transformers weren't the coolest things to people. Also, here on our board, we try to institute more of a spirit of sharing our hobby with each other, rather than everyone trying to "one-up" each other. I mean, I had no idea just posting my haul would incite the riot it did :lol  I feel that my hauls are comparatively modest to others, especially in threads like the BBTS POL thread and such. We have threads that invite members to share what they have and such.

    With all of that said, if you have a roof over your head, something to eat, and clothes on your back, you're sitting pretty well, I'd say. It's easy to get caught up in things. Counting one's blessings really helps to keep things in perspective. :)

    I love it when Quaddy enters a thread like this. Cause he tells it like it is not with force, but with hilarious images and wisdom.

    The combo pack of Arrow season one and a new scarf. Also, without trying to sound cheesy, some quality time with my nephews. Helped the 4yo assemble some of his new toys, and got a great big smile out of the one that's just 10 weeks old.

    Edit: Forgot to mention, a friend of mine gave me a Star Trek Minimates two-pack of TOS Kirk and Khan. Pretty nifty little figures. Khan's left hand needs to be glued into place, as it seems the peg is to small, but other than that the set is in great condition. They'll look nice standing next to my TOS Enterprise.

    Crackhead side of the family gave me a pool cue and one of those weird, cheap Pakistan knives they sell at gas stations and carnivals. They smell like attic or some kind of storage... yeah, possibly stolen.

    Initially only got £70 cash, a 3Dish image of the red Arrows and a load of chocolate, but adding a bit of cash, I've bought myself a £15 shutter remote for my Canon 1000D and a 39" HDTV.
