Shopping for Mr A some cigars.
He has a subscription with Thompson cigars and every year he gets a reward credit but I steal it and use it to buy him a Christmas gift. Last year, I got him a bunch of sampler packs that came with free lighters and a travel humidor. He really likes the travel humidor, btw and uses it a lot.
Any suggestions on full flavored cigars? His subscription is for a box of Cosechero Torpedo every few months. He would enjoy something similar. He likes trying different stuff. I thought about getting him the Makers Mark infused cigar but it was expensive and seemed gimmicky.
Cool, he likes full flavored too. Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'm going to call customer service tomorrow because last year when I called the guy set me up with a bunch of freebies. I don't really see those deals online. I will ask about your suggestions, though. Mr A likes those crack lighters because he smokes on the golf course and they light the cigar.
I also remembered that he wanted a plastic flask and I found him a cool as hell shirt at the thrift store. I was going to sell it but I know he would love it so I'm going to give it to him. I'm also going to buy him a Wok. He's been wanting one. I don't want another pan in the kitchen but he wants a friggin Wok for the two times a year he makes fried rice. That man...
Rumors are the 80th anniversary Lincoln Continental is going to have suicide doors . Maybe @Danke is saving up to get me that . Sweet .

I have figured out what I'm getting everyone except my youngest son. He's tough. I asked him what he wanted and he just shrugged. *sigh* I thought about a Chia pet. He always wanted one of those but he never got one. I saw them advertising Golden Girls Chia Pets on tv today at work and though, that looks like something my crazy ass son would like.
The only thing I want for Christmas is clothes and I've been doing that for the past 5 years. When I was younger I would always ask for video games and new game consoles but as I've gotten older I've been playing them less and don't really have much a need for them anymore.

When I was young I would ask for store bought arrows , .22 rifle shells , 12 Ga and .410 shells , wool socks , store bought cigarettes and a new football . Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners would be a feast of wild game I had hunted . Celebrating the birth of Jesus was serious business . You did not just get new wool socks for warm feet to cut wood and break ice in the feed lot any other time .

The best gift I ever got was the Play Doh Barber Shop but I had the flu that Christmas and the smell of the Play Doh made me vomit. Another year I got the Holly Hobby Easy Bake Oven. I got excited and used up all my cake batter that morning and my mom cut the cord on the oven because she said the cakes were nasty and made me take it outside and put in the playhouse my dad built me. I used the little pans to make mud pies and I would stick them in the broken oven to dry out. I just pretended it baked.
The worst gifts I got were a Bionic Barbie doll. She wasn't pretty and didn't even come with a dress I could use on my nice Barbie. She came in a goofy jogging suit. My stinky brother bought me that and my other worst gift was from another stinky brother. His cheap ass put a chunk of lead in a shoe box and wrapped it up for me. I was so excited. I thought it was gonna be good because it was so heavy.
Once, my dad bought my mom a vacuum cleaner and we (it was dad's idea) took it apart and wrapped it in pieces. My mom was so pissed. I think that was when she gave up on having a nice Christmas and, after that, the gifts only went downhill. I've received everything from canned bread (it's actually not bad) to an old broken wedding clock.
I've tried to put nice gifts under the tree but I want my kids to have a taste of my childhood so I always fill their stockings with crazy $#@!. I find the best stuff at the Asian Grocery store and Richard's Variety shop. The worst purchases I've made are the Shrimp Flavored Potato Chips (they smelled like rotten shrimp) and the Turkish Delight I bought after reading Narnia with them. It wasn't delightful. I can't believe Edmund sold out his siblings for that $#@!.

My mom told me a story a long time ago that for one Christmas when she was a kid she got a cork. Gee I wonder what her parents wanted her to do with it.

I probably should get some work done on some of my knife sheaths , Mrs O has had two of them for so long I guarantee she does not remember where she put them . This is what you get to look forward to in old age .

I think tomorrow I am going to bet myself a gift , a pair of needle nose vise grips with a cushion grip . No need for my kung fu grip hand to be cold ......

Not too far in the future , now that I am getting older I was thinking that there should be a statue or sculpture , a likeness of me for Danke to have to remember me by . I think it will help him remember all of the great wisdom I have passed to him . Probably right out his door .

I ended up with a new oscillating tool , some blades , a Home Depot gift card , a thermal shirt , a Cracker Barrel gift card , Bob Evans Gift Card , Walmart Gift Card and two Amazon Gift cards . Not sure which one was from Danke . I regifted the walmart card and gave Mrs O the amazon cards . Probably use the Home Depot card to get some extra discs for my angle grinder and my metal Cutoff tool . That thermal shirt my Grandson got me is pretty fancy , makes you feel like a quarter million bucks when you put it on .
