Ok, so I just got accepted into my Grad School of choice (hooray!). I had two professors write letters of reccomendation for me. I want to get them a little thank you gift. Unfortunately, I'm about to dive into debt, and on top of that, holidays are approaching with a fury! One prof is a female and one is a male. I was gonna get the female one a nice large bouquet of flowers and a nice card. This obviously isn't a great idea for a man. What should I get him?
He's kind of a manly man. LoL. A retired police sgt. & detective turned college professor. Might be odd giving him a floral arrangement
My DH, of 7 years, and I have 3 kids and are expecting in August. Early in our marriage I'd give the same gift I selected for my mother to my MIL. I'd also remember her on her B'day w/card or gift, as well as other holidays (spring pics of the kids at Easter). She never sends a card to me, or the kids, or even my husband on b'days or holidays, forget a gift. Every year she expects us to buy a plane ticket for her to visit us. This year her week long stay will include Mother's Day. Last year during her visit, she suggested she deserved a 0 Coach bag (I've never bought anything like that for my mother, and she'd never ask). On top of that, she yelled at me for not taking her to my 6 week check-up (she came 3 weeks after the birth of my 3rd child). My husband only visits with her on the night she arrives, then stays busy at work. I demanded he take leave to visit with her. I'm not sure she deserves a smile this year. She's Ghanaian, but has lived in the US for 40 years.
Micro went out, ended my popcorn/movie evening
Missed, so went natural, stovetop pan. Kinda tough popcorn.
Fixed micro, news notes micro popcorn unhealthy so stayed a-la-natural. (but nothing beats micro's convenience)
Got Westbend's Stir Crazy - pops a nice light corn, top-cap buttering function not that great -- need spatula to get butter thru holes, some remains on top.
Baked during holidays, did decent job at toasting nuts.
Problem > Huge on countertop, top plastic bowl will likely scratch or break. in time - otherwise good
Recently seen Microwave bowl popper in an Ad - costs about 30% less than Westbend
Considering purchase as late gift:
1) Which type of Popper do you think is best ?
Stovetop, Electrical, Microwave
2) Are results very noticeable ?
3) Preferable brand ?
4) What are your experiences with assorted poppers ?
5) If you were to give one as a gift, which would it be ?

Ever since I moved to out of my home state away from all my family and friends I feel like I don't exist. They never call me, write me anything. Maybe they'll shoot me a text message or facebook me, which I'm not really into. We were all so close, lived in a small town. But now that I have moved, I feel like they have just forgotten about me.
I love where I live now and would never consider moving back. But I'm sick of making an effort and writing to them, sending them gifts on holidays, etc, and getting nothing in return. Are my feelings wrong?
On top of that I have a 2 year old and my husband travels A LOT for work, I just feel so lonely. The funny part is I'm never alone with a toddler, I have a job and I go to college full-time. I feel alone and sad. Someone help, am I experiencing depression?
Notice how M&D is getting flooded with questions about "What did he get you?" and "Why didn't he get me blah blah blah?". Did your wife FREAK OUT when you didn't get her a box of chocolates, fancy dinner and/or a 2 hour back rub?? Is it just me or do many women(not all) make a mountain out of a mole hill when it comes to this specific "holiday"? Hell, my wife got dinner and that was it. She didn't complain one bit. She doesn't expect some lavish gifts or over the top BS like some of these broads that have posted their whining and crying BS.
EDIT: I understand there are guys out there that don't show any appreciation or love to their SO's. But it's not just these types of women that feel Valentine's Day is "special". I know plenty of other women that have good husbands that provide, are affectionate and do little things to show their appreciation, yet these women STILL look at the "all he got me was" side of things. It just boggles my mind, I guess. It's true, I do make sure my wife understands and knows what she means to me and what she has done for me. So that is why she doesn't complain when V-Day isn't extravagant, but she herself has also said that V-Day is just another in the calendar year. It's an excuse to spend money and to show off about how much they got or how much they spent. Love isn't about a special holidays or presents. Even cards. Yeah they may come close to what you want to express, but they're not your own words. I have never gotten her a V-Day card. My own writting better expresses how I feel.
Hello, im 14 and i would like a answer that shows you have self-respect and intelligence.
Ok, I believe Islam is the only religion that teaches you strength and believe in GOD every single day. I personally don't see a difference in a christian and a atheist. Most christians carry on with there lives everyday as a atheist would. But when a christian in a difficult situation or wants something then they pray to GOD. I see a christians relationship between GOD is more of a Take not a Give-Take situations. This is why Christians have holidays like Christmas which doesn't have to do with GOD but is just a gift giving holiday. A Christian is more to fall into sin-full ways.
As for a true muslim we are constantly reminded of the right things. We pray 5 times a day which is separated in every part of the day. Almost everyday is like a church day for a christian. Most of our holidays teach something. For example Ramadan where we fast for forgiveness for sin, live a day as a poor person, and gain inner strength with some gift along the way.
I compared Christians and Muslim because they have the top 2 religions. Ok so i say Islam is the only religion that teaches faith and worship? Do you agree? if not what religion do you believe teaches that better?
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Ok.
by The Path of Least Bloodshed : I am surround by christians. If you are a devoted christian what do you do different than a so called "lukewarm" christian. Also christmas may be to celebrate jesus birth but it does not express it. What it express is santa claus and trees and gilfs.
Scott B: By strong religion i meant a religion that teachs you right morrows and self strength. Being muslim doesnt control every part of your life its who you are and how you act. It makes you think twice before you do something.
Y: Your statement is unlogical.
David: Islam is a religion of peace. You watch too many tv and let it corupt your brain every try think outside the box??
What?: What a christians does and doesnt says alot of what their religion teaches.And you didnt even tell me why you think islam is not you just made a statement with no facts.
C: WHat do they pray for?
Christ teachs you good things but you can call you self a christian and only go to church on a sunday.
Riley J wins best answer so far
