OT: Don’t give people “art” as a gift

[CMcG]

Thanks, guys, for the laughs and suggestions! zk is right…I am female. My friend is male, which may surprise you. He comes by a lot because he enjoys puttering around and working in my jungle of a backyard garden. I really appreciate that. I would dearly love to put that wreath in the garage, but that would devastate him. Thanks to your help, though, I am inspired to put it in my “junk room,” the third bedroom in which I, as an “artiste” writer, create stuff amidst boxes of old crap. The wreath, I will say, inspires me in here. But when people come to visit, I shut the door to this room. Forgive any typos. I woke up at five and forgot that the new five is six.

“I forgot that the new five is six.”

Reminds me of a funny story. A few years ago, a guy at work set his clock the wrong way one fall. Showed up for his 6am shift at 4am. Of course now we remind him not so gently every fall (and spring) which way to set his clock.

Sorry about that. I thought you were a man and your friend was a woman. I should have known better. I know this one chinese lady friend in her 30ies. Really cute and sweet, and about 5 feet tall. But, apparently she's really into hunting. Not your typical asian lady. And another lady taught me how to heal and toe in a car, and actually taught me a lot about how to service my audi lol 🙁

 

Ok…here's the followup suggestion. Read my other book "Woman's survival guide in a Man-but-thinks-like-a-woman's world."

I think you can apply the same tactics in #3 with the same gift ideas. In fact, it would be kinda funny. Guy that shops at michael's probably isn't into much for hunting,cars,beer can butthead buddies etc. Your "gift" to him, while normally would be sincerely appreciated by a grease monkey, rugged man, probably would invoke the same reaction you had with the wreath. Especially if he likes to work on gardens, the ChiaPet is the perfect gift…because most people hate those things.

—– Sour grapes for everyone!

OK quick question to help figure out the situation – Are you married? If you’re not, then this friend of yours probably wants to be a little more than friends, thus the frequent visits, and the gifts concern. Most guys I know aren’t friends with women, unless they are trying to make it more than that.

Just my 2 cents.
