Total Posts: 75 | Hello I posotive the everyone on the forum has goten a gift for the holidays that they didn't like, and i just want to know what it is. I'll start out with my least favorite gift. IT was X-mas eve when I got a "gag" gift that i didn't think was funny (at the time now that I'm fourteen i would have liked it) but it was a little plastic crate with an eye-hole on the side and a button on top when you would press the button a speaker would active and so would a "rumble pak" for lack of a better term and it would shake back and forth and would scream like an animal was inside.
P.S. Not limitted to the holidays it could be a birthday present. |

Edit | An 84+ for my 16th b-day. That was my most exciting present, and I exchanged it for an 89T. Yes, I like calculators, but meh... I'd prefer something with more meaning and less to do with schoolwork.
Although, my 89T has been a blessing for AP Calc. |

Total Posts: 97 | I do not mean to sound like a pessamistic, "pity-seeker", but I will not be anything but frank:
Gifts around my house have become fairly scarce in recent years. My Father lost his job with Arthur Anderson (the company that got entangled in the Enron scandal a few years ago).
He has not managed to find another job in his field of expertise since then. He does have a job, but it does not provide enough money to cover all the bills. Between my Grandmother and my Mom, we manage to make it.
I fortunately, have a high-paying job at a car dealership. My boss is nice enough to let me work whenever I am able to and for as many hours a week as I wish. This at least covers my end of things like gas for the car and payments for the few college course I'm taking.
Do not let yourself find personal meaning in what you possess. It will only bring the greatest of dissapointment if you ever lose it. Your life and knowledge are the only things you can possess forever. :)

Total Posts: 235 | I must agree with stephen my dad went from being a computer consultant to deciding to be a real estate agent (If you live in ohio and are buy/selling a house pm me :) ) so it was a bit of a change in many area's of my "normal" life. which i figured i didn't need most the thing i had before (like going out to eat with friends of the family alot) so yea but you can make all the money you want by money will not buy happiness.
