You guys are the best.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Frank, so sorry. And I add to the Fuck Cancer sentiments. Did we get the t-shirts made of that yet? I do like his approach. Might as well enjoy what's left if there isn't much treatment. But I'm all for quality not quantity.
You're not really going to get her educational games, are you omnis? Jesus, man, why not just buy her socks.Ha! Funny, cuz apparently she has a habit of pulling her socks apart in one long string, so my sis has said that is high on the list of things to get her. I'm not one for buying people clothes, especially kids. I have no clue about sizes, fashion, colors or what not. blah.
But YA I'm thinking educational games. The kid has WAY too much fluff games already. She screams that she wants x, gets it, plays with it for 10 minutes, and never touches it again. So I usually get her books. Last year I got her a real nice childrens dictionary, and she OBLITERATED it. Apparently she carries books by one cover, and they just come apart at the seam, and then she starts pulling on the little strings (are we sensing a theme?) until they are a collection of glued pages. So I figure, if she manages to get a NDS, and I get her educational games, my sister will make her play those, and the gift is used.

Frank, that's awful. If we can do anything to help, let us know. I mean, we have Buffistas everywhere and some of us have extra rooms for a guest or two. I can't imagine that traveling around the world is cheap, so. (I realize it would be a complete strangers situation... but I figured I'd throw the idea out there anyway.)Nicole is wise, and I add to it. I got a sleeper sofa couch. If he's stopping in Dallas let me know.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
This is the crux.
my sister will make her play those
Yeah, see, your sister is not going to enforce educational game time on Nintendo.
She'll make her read a book if she's going to be enforcing anything.

You know what's cool on DS? The Lego Star Wars and Indiana Jones and Batman games.
I concur. Fun games!

Our wings are not tired.
Frank, if he's headed to France, let me know. My friend have a place on the Channel that is right by the beach. They'd either let him stay for free or very close to it (they live in Oxfordshire, England; this is their vacation apartment I'm talking about). I am really sorry to hear the news.

move out and draw fire
Frank, I'm so sorry. That really sucks. I don't have a lot of peeps in places anyone would actually WANT to go right now, but if he needs anything while travelling let me know.
Hivemind help? I pulled a couple tags from the Salvation Army tree to buy gifts for. One of them is for an old man, who in addition to warm clothes (I know, it breaks my heart), requested "Bible things."
Any suggestions? Other than an actual Bible, passage markers, or a magnifying glass, I have no idea what "Bible things" might mean.

There are entire Bible things stores. Go in and throw yourself on the mercy of the clerk.

What Nicole said. The Buffista world tour!
Bible things: A large-print Bible? A daily bible study book? Audio version? Illustrated Gospels? A bible cover?
eta: Do you have a Cokesbury store nearby? They're usually pretty helpful.
