- $35 Applebee's gift card
- $50 Chili's gift card (I ******* HATE Chili's!)
- Some body lotion/body spray from Victoria's Secret

Val, you can send that Chillis gift card my way if you like. I'll put it to good use.

I got:
New set of golf clubs w/bag
$50 Visa card
$50 Elephant Bar card
some cash
New 49ers hat
3 in 1 jacket
$11,000 from my father-in-law



Unfortunately the 11k is to pay off the new AC unit we had got and half of the mortgage for Jan. since my wife lost her job. The finance company handling the loan for our AC unit is trying to charge us 27% interest, so I said **** that. Father-in-law wrote us a check and I'll just pay him back interest free.

Hahaha, I would if I could, but the boyfriend wanted to keep it because he loves Chili's. Don't get me wrong because the thought of it is nice. I just hate Chili's.

Man, too bad you don't live around me. I work for an A/C company and I probably could have gotten you a decent deal. I damn sure would have tried.

Yeah that would have been sweet. We got a pretty decent deal since we got a new AC unit, plus furnace and coil. We just didn't have the 8 grand or whatever to fork over at the time, but also didn't realize they were going to rape us with a 27% interest rate. Good thing I only made 2 payments at that crappy rate. Now I'll give them the big **** you when I pay it all off at once.

"Only By The Night"? It normally isn't the kind of music I listen to, but I have that album and it is awesome. Not one bad song on it. It kind of pisses me off that "Sex on Fire" was the single for that album. There are much better songs on it than that.

That's horrible that your son's mom won't let you see him. Unless there is an extremely valid reason for that, I hate when one parent does that to another.

You need to adopt me! Your daughters got lucky!

Yeah his mother is quite a gem thats for sure, no reason to ever keep a child from there parent, I had never done anything to deserve it. She is just a re-incarnation of evil in disguise. But what I have always believed was is what goes around comes around, and one day he will want to come live with me after he graduates possibly. He is 16 and I havent been able to see him since he was like 8... really kills me inside sometimes.

Hell yeah, girl It's really good, and I thought she would like it. I haven't asked her about it yet, the sticker on the front saying, "including the hit single 'Sex on Fire'," Didn't make the best first impression lol.
