If you were going to get me a present for Christmas, what would it be?

I would buy you an acre of Mars or the Moon. Sorry that I don’t have a link. It’s a thing.

A subscription to Smithsonian Magazine !

Those are both excellent gifts! Thank you so much :D

A Ferrari.

Or maybe both – IF YOUR CONDUCT IS SATISFACTORY ENSIGN TRENDY!

@Hawaii_Jake – A FERRARI??!!

I can’t even… TRENDY MEET YOUR NEW COMMANDING OFFICER – Admiral Jake Million$.

my best wishes. Gotta stick to my budget.

This is fantasy.

It is. Isn’t it? I’m not committed am I? Um…

@Hawaii_Jake I think I just had one of those “eyegasms” @JLoon told me about. OMG!!!!!!! https://www.ferrari.com/en-US
@JLoon I love you too! I’m getting all weepy…

@Hawaii Jake Maybe a used Ferrari. The 355 gtb

^^I’ll take it! :)

A sense of humor!!! ;-}

@LadyMarissa I’m sorry I take things too literally sometimes. :( It’s hard for me to tell when someone is serious or silly or sarcastic. Maybe you can help me :)

When it comes out of my mouth…seriously silly & sarcastic!!! ; -} ; -} ; -}
You said Spare no expense

How about a nice Puffy Bear?

And shouldn’t this be in Social?

I’d give you some 74-year-old wisdom, and in exchange I’d hope for more of your 17-year-old wisdom.

A lifetime subscription to Fluther.

@Strauss You got it! But I’m not so sure what someone like me could possibly educate you in.

@Jeruba That puffy bear looks creepy to me…eek! I thought about that category but then figured this is a little more personal and more fluther member based so I put it in meta. :)

How about an all expenses paid cruise for you and your family to Alaska!

Oh yes @chyna after that first cruise we did I just LOVE to cruise! I would cruise all year if I could. :D

A scale model of an Su-27 Flanker?

A concert in your living room, with Pearl Jam covering Christmas, Baby Please Come Home.

After that, Eddy Vedder will join you in whatever karaoke tunes you choose.

@ragingloli My brother might like that so…sure why not :)

OMG! @Brian1946 I’m weak in my knees…Eddie Vedder in my living room will have to give me CPR after I faint from seeing him there.

Arrangements for travel to all famous places around the world.

A puddle of puppies and homes for when they’re grown! <3

A modest house.

@ragingloli are people usually confused by your gifts?

@HP
I do not give gifts.

So a flanker in say 1/8 scale is a gift YOU would appreciate if received?

Sure my brother would love it. May be worth a lot of $$$!

What would you like for Christmas @RayaHope ?

What I would like the most @Tropical_Willie is to be epilepsy/seizure free. This journey is very arduous and it does put a strain on my family that I feel responsible for even though I know it’s not my fault. That would be the greatest gift I could ever receive.

You’re young enough that there is a realistic possibility you will see that wish granted

@HP I really do hope you are right and we are holding onto that thought which is a very real possibility. We do keep up to date with my medicine and doctors and any new procedures.

The science will advance. That is certain and unavoidable. You’re young and by definition—ahead of the curve.

You like perfume or chocolate? Maybe some Chanel # 5 or, I don’t know much about chocolate. Give me a hint ; ). On edit I missed your point about extravagant. I have to stay within budget. I’m so broke I can’t even pay attention.

^^ lol! How about a nice long (HUG) and a slow dance? ;)

I would be honored! May I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor? And in your case, you won’t even have to threaten to pour a beer on my head! I am super flattered! @RayaHope

^ Let me stand on your shoes (so you don’t step on my toes) lol!

Good point. And don’t dance barefoot..I have unintentionally crippled many a lady..lol

Maybe a cool waltz? I’m corny I like waltzes like Blue Danube : )

And if another guy wants to cut in I’m cool with it if you are. But he gets obnoxious or off color with you I’ll challenge him to duel to defend your honor. Hey did we just enter some weird time warp Raya? ; )

This will probably get zapped by the mods but what you said made me feel, idk, safe? I better stop before I get you in trouble with your wife..(giggle)

It is fun though. Thanks

Just a harmless phantasy lol

Get a room you two! sheesh!

Way too young for me, only clowning. And please don’t impunge that young ladies chastity..Lordy

((embarrassed))

Sorry my fault. I’ll take the rap. We were only kidding around anyway. Doesn’t have to be all politics all the time. Good grief. Apologies @RayaHope
