For the man who has everything.

Post by **Still Life** » Wed Nov 29, 2017 10:30 am

When I get the "What do you want for Christmas?" question, I say "Nothing!"
I'm 60, have all my toys, and have a house full of past-holiday junk.

This year being my first all-grain, I paused at the question this time around
and checked my local HBS grain supplier to see if they have Gift Certificates.
THEY DO! No more slippers and gag gifts for me!

So, before you just garumph "Nothing!" like me, check out if your grain supplier
has gift certificates and get something you can really use this Christmas.

HoHoHo to you merry bastards!

A friend from my coal mining days , Ludwig Zator , long gone but not forgotten summed it up best .
A widower living alone in his late 70's when his grown children came to visit for Thanksgiving .
And the kids asked ,"What do you want for Christmas , Daddy ?"
He stood from the table and beckoned with an arm gesture ,"You come see ."
They followed him to his bedroom and he proceeded to show them as he opened dresser drawers and closet doors :
"Got socks"
"Got shirts and underwear "
"Got coats and neckties "
"You come see me at Christmas , you no more buy me these things . You bringa whisk(ey) or you bringa money to buy more whisk(ey) . I'ma no have much of either ."
Bless you ,Mister Zator . You are gone but not forgotten .

Mr. Flatwoods, it may be easier if we just swapped houses.

Butch, We all need a Mr. Zator in our lives.

Took this advice to heart and got $75 in Gift Cards to my local grain shop! Good tip Still Life!
This will ensure ShineonCrazyDiamond's Chocolate Sundae Bourbon gets started before Christmas vacation is over.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

I was hoping someone could make good on that suggestion.
I'm glad that worked for you.
Merry Christmas to you, fizzix.

Well damn Pikey!
I was all ready to add a smart ass reply.

I have a couple of 20+ year olds that just graduated, but so far they're happy occupying my man cave & workspace.
I'm ready for them to leave but I sure get "be careful what you ask for".
But that's great - I know it was a special holiday.
Be well.
