lol, "the gift that keeps on giving"? The trouble is, you never know what "gift" you get. Better (and cheaper in the long run) to get one of those "realdoll" companions: they don't talk, don't need to spend money on them, don't need to eat, don't need to take them out, and they don't say no.
A steady job! I've been fighting with un-employment since may and am growing very tired of it. Currently been back welding for a few months but may be laid off again before the end of the week! Merry F'in Christmas!
