What do I get for a recently engaged couple that is visiting from out of state?
Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Thrive to spite them
Check your library and sesee if they have digital access. My library has digital access to the NY times and others. You get a pass to log in and then can read as many articles as you want.

I subscribe to both, but read the times more, probably. I'm not a big fan of the way the post webpage is set up on mobile?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, something they will have to carry back with them? I'd probably go with a gift certificate for someplace near where they live?
Disclaimer: I have never bought an engagement gift.

Yes. I thought of that, but I really have no idea what is good near them. It's my brother-in-law and his girlfriend of many years who I like a lot. So, I really should get them something.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!

So stressed about Mr. S and his behavior, and I can't seem to calm down for long. Ugh.

Can you just treat them to a special dinner, or does it need to be something physical to give them?

They won't be here long enough. I'll only see them at a family gathering.

Because books.
sj, what about a good basic cookbook, something with lots of nice pictures?
Sheryl, can you see someone for yourself, for some support?
