A good gift to a happily married man 'who is helping you out' would be to be gracious and kind to his lovely wife.  Ask her what he'd like from you as a thankyou?

Otherwise it's just plain strange?  Involve her, make her your new best friend as well as him...

?

do not mess with or even give time to married men, especially happily married ones.  If he's doing you big indescribable unable to know how to thank him favours, something's going on and I'd run the other way.


Your world is nothing that can be compared to mine Linda .. but thank you for your time  :)

Not necessarily Linda.  Some men can be kind and generous without ulterior motives.  It's called good character and integrity.  I wouldn't give a second thought to my husband helping out someone who needed it (male or female).

I like watching that show "What would you do ?"

just to see how many people actually step up and show consideration to others when they witness someone in distress of some sort

I love that show!  Although some of the scenarios they come up with are a little out there.  They say they really happen though  :-\

My favorite was the one with the drunk man laying on the sidewalk and the homeless woman trying to get him some help.  Made me  :'( and   >:(  I'm glad they followed up and tracked her down and got her some help too.

Another good one was the guy putting something into a girls drink while she went to the ladies room.

Absolutely, and those are the ones who must always be thanked.  

But honestly, (although it seems you've misread me and construe me to be out of line), please, really really really?  do be careful of happily married men doing you favours...

Not kidding. $1000 can go a long way at Best Buy. It took me more than a year to use it all.  Or did you think I meant $1, as in one dollar? ???

To this day I consider it a great gift.  I realize not everyone wants to spend that kind of money. $500 or even a $100 gift card is something any guy would appreciate. :)

yep, I clocked your k and realised that we're not talking about kiddie pressies...


What I wonder is what this gift you've received was for?  Surely that was from a loved one, a family member or else from a hugely grateful client?


Are we doing a thread about 'the best present I've ever received'?

Or are we doing one on how to politely thank a happily married man who has recently driven us someplace or helped us move a cupboard?  There's a massive line between small favours and huge ones...

We don't have 'What Would You Do' here in UK.  So I'm assuming it's some kind of staged reality show, making fools of people, like Candid Camera or You've Been Framed, wherein the unsuspecting punter gets landed in a situation and they film his/her reaction?

It'll be on here soon I guess.

Man, I so totally hate reality TV, I won't be watching it.




Is it perhaps something like "Britain Has Talent/aka Simon Cowell Exploits The Mentally Challenged"?

It's more about real live situations that are in the news headlines... college hazing, racism, public humiliation, discrimination...

This is the episode that made me  :'(

sorry, Princess L, but I dont ever click any of those boxes in case it's all virus.  (I have an 11-year old purple iMac and I wouldn't be able to see it anyways)


I don't trust anyone. My lovely old 'puter is on her last legs, never broken yet, but I'm not pushing her.  Think this machine was invented prior to jpg.  Stalkers regularly hack.



Can we do a Steve Jobs valadictory complimentary thread?  I hear the man who invented this beautiful purple thing I adore so much which I bought for £999 in 1999, the man who went on to oversee the ipod and the iphone, is 6 weeks from death?  Oh I wish he could live.


good gift = health
wealth and stealth...

cheers

mostly middle aged, whites or asians.  we have a decent mix though.  Depnds on location.  I have sold a lot of these.  with the financing option more "regular" people are wanting them.  Problem is many dont qualify for the financing.  CAT HAS BEEN FOUND!
