:WW I am leaving WF's....thanks Chef.
OK, I'm back!!!!:%:c:b
Chef, I'm glad you gave it to James. I see how much he enjoys it and it makes it all worthwhile! And you did qualify to me that you entered more for the contest (baby date) than the gift. It's all.....no, better than good Brotha!!

As I have before, if i win something or something is given to me by someone, whether gifted to me, or they bought it for me, if it is something that i would not personally wear, I dont keep it......but i gift it to someone else...
I won the lupah in one of CJ's giveaways, and I entered that contest more because of the fun of trying to guess Tv's birth of his child, and the lupah was a great prize, but it turned out to be something that i wouldnt wear, and I knew James really wanted a lupah, so I gifted it to him.....
my feeling is this, once given to me, its mine to do with.....that does not take away from the person that did the gifting at all, they still did something for you and that is the point...
now , i wouldnt go rubbing it in their face that what they gave me wasnt what i liked, I will tell them that i like it, and then quitley give it to someone who will enjoy it....
well, Thank you CJ........at least someone understands.......LOL.....
I hope no one thinks less of me ( i know, you cant think much less of me than you already do......).....but its just the way I am...
its not like i dont appreciate things that are done for me, ask any of my friends, even the friends i have here, like James, or Tuna, Ukwolfeman.......they know how appreciative I am for things that are done for me.........and I always try to repay that in someway or another...
i have been a very lucky individual this year, and have been gifted and won some great prizes, but I just never understood the fact of , just because it was given to me, that if i dont like it, i have to keep it......If someone is offended because they gifted me something, and i dont like it, well the skin is to thin......in my opinion. its like if you go out and get a meal, and you dont like the way it tastes....or someone made you something you dont like to eat..........do you still eat it?
let me give an example....
I was gifted a watch last year from someone at WG'S, and someone who I think is a great person, and just a caring individual.........She sent me a watch, that i didnt know was coming, to say thank you......I was utterly shocked, The feeling i had was without words.....The fact that someone just gave something to me, made me feel like a million bucks.......
but, it was a goldtone watch, and I just dont wear gold, at all. Now my father, who is into watches as much as I am, I had spoken with him on the phone a couple of nights before and he was looking for an all gold watch with a blue face.....well this is what i was gifted......So i gave it to my father, and he was estatic, he loves the watch , and still wears it till this day........
now i ask all of you, would it have been better, to wear something that i hate, or put it in a drawer forever , or to have given it to my father, who loves it, and wears it happily. to me, thats easy, someone elses generousity gave me the chance to make someone else happy.........I dont see anything wrong with that at all......
