ParticipantGuys, I am divorced after a long marriage. In this relationship, we are just friends. It didn’t start that way, but it works best that way. I am a real estate bear like you (which is why I am here) and I hesitate to “out” myself but the fact is I have had more than a dozen books published by major publishers. NO best sellers. But some of you guys are so funny and articulate (FLU included) I’d be willing to team up on a project. If there’s any interest, I’ll post my e-mail.

GuestCMcG, If this friend is a guy who you’re knocking boots with, you’ll want to put the ugly thing up. That is if you care about him. If it’s a girlfriend, it’s bad taste for her to give you a piece of art to display in your home.
I, like most people I know, choose my own art to decorate my walls. Now, if someone gives me a Picasso, that’s a completely different story. I don’t care if it’s a painting of someone using the TOILET, I’d knock my own mother over in my haste to get that baby up on the wall.

March 9, 2008 at 9:12 PM #166464GuestThis was not a handmade wreath. My friend purchased it at Michael’s. I didn’t want to say, “This is white trash stuff.
CMcG, a point about the above. It wouldn’t matter to me where a friend of mine purchased a gift. Michael’s isn’t a thrift store, they have some nice stuff in there. I’ve gotten a lot of cute, whimsical things at bargain stores. Just becuase it costs more doesn’t mean it’s worth more. If I were your friend and I knew your position on that, I’d be hurt.
The one exception would be thrift stores. I don’t shop at them, and I don’t feel it’s appropriate to purchase someone a gift from a store that sells used items. That is what I’d consider trash, not something from Michael’s.
