My family has been thinking of him a remote car starter and a nice desk chair for work...but those seem uninspired to me.
My dad is super hard to shop for:
He has more clothes than anyone I know.
Same with tools.
He likes sports, but not enough to have any gear
He rarely does anything for himself - he spends his weekends working in the yard or around the house.
He deserves a great birthday present - In the past, I've bought him shirts, ties, pajamas, fragrance sets, a GPS...they've never felt like enough. I thought about getting him a nice LED flat screen TV, but that's out of my price range.
Any ideas would be extremely helpful! Thank you!

I am taking an intensive short course before the semester officially starts, which caused me to take a look at my office and realize how depressing it is. My last year in school was tough for many reasons, and I really wanted a good, fresh start for this year. So clearly, I needed to do something for my office.

He fulfilled the ideal of an anchorman before viewers even knew what to expect from the position, or from TV news in general.

Hello friends and patriots...lend me your...shoulder?
I have been flitting around the Internet for a very long time taking part in what I tend to call "mind squats" which are just places like this...teamsugar.com and making friends.
One common factor I have found wherever I go in this vast wilderness is that there are people like you and me.

Half-elf Samantha Cosse may have gotten kicked out of the Diviner’s
Order, but she’s still good at finding things—which is why she just

At the beginning of the semester my speech teacher gave us all the course syllabus which is fine--teachers are supposed to do that. She went over the syllabus during the first day of class and everything seemed fine.
BUT---and you knew there would be a Big "BUT" she was probably the most inconsistent teacher I have ever had.
