Non-shaving related Christmas goodies?

[moonshine44]

So what non-shaving goodies did y'all get for Christmas?

I got:

A gun safe that'll hold 30 long guns...
A pair of Woolrich slippers (asked for those)...
El Dorado starring John Wayne...
Wool socks...
A 1/2" impact gun...
Bones Season Three box set...
A new zip-up sweatshirt (asked for that, too)...
Big shop vac...
Bag of Costco trail mix...
Enough cash to get the Gun Vault locking pistol case I've been wanting...

Anybody else get anything good that wasn't shaving related?

Let's see:

• A metal thermos and family photos from one sister
• Nothing from my other sister and brother
• Some store-bought peanut brittle in an old personal checks box from a cousin
• A $50 check from my dad
• A hand-knitted scarf from my mom
• Acoustic guitar lessons and a concert from my wife

and...


wait for it...

• A 3M Scotch tape dispenser and tape from the in-laws.

By the way, that last one is *not* the worst gift I've ever received - by a long shot.

... A 3M Scotch tape dispenser and tape from the in-laws.

At least you got the fancy dispenser instead of just the paperboard packaging .

My best non-shaving gift so far (we celebrate w/ the in'laws this weekend), was tickets to a taping of the NPR show Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. This weekend, my wife and I will most likely get some cash along with the promise of a long weekend of free babysitting from her mother. That's usually one of the best gifts of the season .

-New Atlas Snowshoes (10x30)
-Glenkinchie SM Scotch

Pretty modest haul, but I'm VERY happy. (Lots of shaving related items!)

Sorry, I just need to try out some formatting issues, so I will have to dump some text somewhere -- right here..! SO, I wonder if I can adjust margins in postings ... it would be nice if the margin of my text, had more or less matching proportions to any image I might upload. that may, ir may not be possible. And I am not aware of anywhere else on B&B which is suited for testing that sort of thing. So here I go. This is enough text, and below comes a picture, and then the question is, how much can I adjust things ....?​

​

I suppose my best bet might be to insert some html code for seting a margin, but I dont know how to do that ....​

COMMENT: and here is a longer comment which is just to fill up some room so that I can toy around with adjusting the margin on this, repeat: here is a longer comment which is just to fill up some room so that I can toy around with adjusting the margin on this, repeat: here is a longer comment which is just to fill up some room so that I can toy around with adjusting the margin on this, repeat:​
