Sherri Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 So, I didn't get any presents, but I DID get some $$. I used it to buy myself a waterproof MP3 player that I can wear while swimming laps. The cool part(aside from finally being able to listen to music to pass the boring time in the pool), is that it uses bone conduction for sound transmission--no earphones. Â The reviews on it have been pretty good; I can't wait til it arrives! Â Sexy, huh? Quote
genepires Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 the best present is the one having the most fun. my little boy is having fun so he might be the best. Quote
sobo Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 Sherri, you be careful, Darlin'. They've done studies on that thar bone conduction thang. You should get yerself one of these just to be safe... Â Quote
Sherri Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 Thanks, Sobo, I'll be careful. :kisss: I think the chlorine inhalation(and ingestion ) will get me before the skewed brainwaves do. Quote
sobo Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 Jes lookin' out fer ya, Honey chil' :kisss: Quote

Dechristo Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Good that the guys who "don't need no stinking badges" didn't accost you. Â My best present: avoiding the real probability of kicking my middle-aged cousin's ass. Quote
sobo Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Nice job on the christmas lights, O_W. Â BTW, did you get any of those cliffs in the background of the second pic? Quote
Off_White Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 I scrambled the ridge for the view, strictly class 3 on some wierd wind hollowed stuff. The beach was littered with pumice, small stones the waves would leave at the high wave mark sitting on top of the sand, including some fist size stones that also floated. My big climbing coup for the trip, aside from some memory lane sandstone sea cliff bouldering in San Diego, was a 20' 5.8 handcrack in a rocky pass about an hour south of that beach. Delicious wrist locks that made it a reasonable tennis shoe ascent. Quote
sobo Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Excellent! At least you got on some. That's more than I got this holiday season... Quote
Dechristo Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 This being the Cafe Sensitivioso, I suppose it's appropriate to tell of my best present, which was a greeting card. Â the front cover read: "to my one and only: To love you is to have all that I need in the world..." Â the inside read: "And to be loved by you is all I could ever want." Quote
rmncwrtr Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Aw, how nice! Someone loves you a whole lot, DeChristo! Quote
Dechristo Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Propitiously, she lives over 200 miles away. Â There is an element of "too much of a good thing". Quote
sobo Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Propitiously, she lives over 200 miles away. There is an element of "too much of a good thing".  So is she a stalker, a cougar, or what? Enquiring minds want to know... Quote
sobo Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 Best present? I got to see my two kids for Christmas, even if it was only for three hours. Â Â Quote

I swim alot to keep fit through the winter and would be interested if you think they are worth it. Quote
