I have since thrown out the ugly cracked plate, so I am not reminded of it for the rest of my life. This year my Grandmother’s neighbor died, so my grandmother

This year the Foster Children of Mason County are going to receive gift cards from me: either to select something for themselves or allow them to purchase something for one of their loved ones. I've been doing this for 4 years. My family has stopped the gift-giving; instead we give to charity.

Packs and packs of nuts. All old. She is a cashier at a gas station. So, I'm sure when the inventory was about to hit the trash, she dug these nuts out and BOOM!....there's my gift!

A lot of times, this means giving people experiences. Life's a short ride, so the more good experiences, the better. I tend to buy things to help people either feel good, or feel less pain.

I once handed over cash to my lady friend (not girlfriend) as a birthday gift and she seemed quite happy about that. I live in Japan, by the way. Maybe cultural differences?
