Heidi brings home the coolest gifts:

[Call Me Wesley]

My new spectacles, since I need new glasses anyway. I think they look hipster enough for me:



Also, say something that cheers up Heidi. Her wallet was stolen out of her purse in the mall today. But she still managed to bring me this gift. :*

[Richardo]

1. CMW - I believe I have your stapler

:D

Hard to tell from the photo, but did Heidi buy you that flight helmet too? VERY Eddie Rickenbacker :thumbsup:

[Call Me Wesley]

3. Ha! It's a baseball cap. ;)

And no, that is not my stapler.

This is my stapler - another cool gift Heidi brought me:



:P :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear Call Me Wesley!

Uh...

Uh, yeah! Those are very uh.......hip, that's it, hip!:scared:


And seriously, please tell her how sorry I am about her wallet. I can only imagine the hassle of replacing stuff (credit cards, driver's license etc) plus the feeling of being invaded.

Hugs to her for all that and STILL bringing you this cool gift...

:hug: :hug:

[Call Me Wesley]

4. Thank you!

Yes, spending an afternoon on the phone to get everything canceled and blocked is fun. And then they blocked my card instead of hers. Ugh.

[MilesColtrane]

5. I like the look you're going for.

Very Gilliamesque!

6. My favorite movie of all times!

I'd love to have one of their high-end computers!



:hi:

[Blue_Tires]

31. I'd rather have one of those funny-sounding phones...

[Call Me Wesley]

35. Call Central Services.

I'm sure they'll be happy to install one for you ...

[Bunny]

7. Lookin' good, as always.

:thumbsup:

Sorry to hear about your wallet, Heidi. I hope the police can track down the fiend and bring him/her to swift and brutal justice.
:hug:

[Call Me Wesley]

8. Awwww, thank you!

:hug:

The police doesn't even know yet. They close their office at 12 a. m. Here, we only have brutal justice from 9 a. m. to 11 a. m. And then they have races or something ...

[marzipanni]

9. These glasses do not correct your vision-

They allow it to misbehave!

My son's eye and yours had the same response- :rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

10. Hey young hipster!

:rofl: I could hardly see anything ...

[Kali]

11. HAHAHHAHAHAHA!

greening up for St Patrick's Day!

What would cheer Hiedi? Maybe if I speeled her name rite? Cheer up Heidi, this thread ought to do the trick I think!:rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

12. Hiedi Oh?

;) I'll have to use my false teeth on St. Patrick's Day, too. Will be a hoot! :hi:

[xchrom]

13. um -- cheer up heidi even though CMW posted an awful pic of a gift

on the same day you had your wallet stolen?

i suspect i love those glasses.

if she bought them.

that girl has the bestest taste evah!

[Call Me Wesley]

15. The picture did cheer her up ...

I guess I took it between calling the card companies. :) And yes, she actually bought them today.

And just between you and me, here are my real new ones I just need to get lenses for it made, but have the frames already:

"Best taste" is our middle name! :rofl:

[xchrom]

16. I KNEW IT!!!! -- they're fabulous.

my girl is DOWN with the cool and chic.

and you -- lucky lad -- are the most excellent recipient.

[Call Me Wesley]

18. I was looking at many,

especially round retro glasses, but they don't really go well with my face. And then, one night, I was watching this DS9 episode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avd8k9yQYSI&feature=player_detailpage#t=128s and there they were.

First I opted for the red frame, but Heidi thought the white ones were even better, and they are. :)

[xchrom]

21. They're totally cool and I'm with Heidi - the white

Are to TDF!

I'm glad you like them - round are hard to wear.

[Moondog]

14. Having quietly observed posts from you and

the lady in your life for a while now, I have to say that you two really do what I'll call neo-retro well.

Love the stapler, btw.

[Call Me Wesley]

17. Thank you!

Love the term 'neo-retro.' We live in a healthy mixture of high-tech and 1926's typewriters. :) It suits us. Especially, if the manual typewriters are displayed on a multi-colored LED-driven plexiglass shelf: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx5dKMlFgsQ

The stapler is really neat. I have a few items from them: http://www.thepenplace.com.au/desk-accessories-el-casco-c-50.html But don't look at the price. Heidi got it on sale in a friendly office store for $40.

[Moondog]

19. Is that your youtube vid?

Re your link to the Aussie purveyor - there are a couple of places like that in the states as well. But you can also find that sort of product around in smaller shops in larger cities, at better prices, if you look. Which I do, when I am in those places, and have the time.

Here's the thing - I don't have the "eye", the one you two obviously do have, to pull it all together into a coherent whole - for that I need help. Sadly, my talents lie elsewhere.

[Call Me Wesley]

20. Yes, it's my video.

The stapler was really a lucky buy.

I think the "eye" comes with practice. There's one typewriter displayed there, the model, that was my first. Of course, 30 years ago, I trashed it. Then I found it on the Swiss equivalent on eBay.

[Moondog]

22. Nicely done. My compliments. n/t

[hippywife]

23. OMG! I am so sorry to hear about her wallet!

I hate...no, I don't hate, gotta stop the hate...don't understand people who steal from someone else, especially someone so sweet and lovely. I hope she didn't lose too much cash and that everything else resolves it self without any identity theft issues. :hug: to me dear girlfriend. Will you please personally deliver a real one to her from me?

Cool specs, tho. She is awesome. You both are. :hug:

[Call Me Wesley]

26. All's taken care of.

Getting the IDs back is annoying, though. Thanks for the thoughts! :hug:

[MiddleFingerMom]

24. That's a GREAT look for you (needs the toofas, though)...

...but I would stay with those AND expand on them, too.

And Heidi, you need to bait the trap with one of these:

28. You know, I'm at the age to look into beauty surgeries,

but I always find a much cheaper way to improve my look and my general attitude. ;)

The flaming wallet would have been a very good idea!

[tigereye]

25. very dada, or somethin.

or Bonzo Dog Band-like... ;)



Both of you have very cool taste, period! :D

[Call Me Wesley]

29. I always say, if we go down,

we go down with style! :)

:hi: tigereye!

[tigereye]

36. yes, indeed!

Hey! :pals:

[In_The_Wind]

27. Hurry for Heidi!

:nuke: sorry about the wallet


:hi:

[Call Me Wesley]

30. Police will have a look tomorrow at the surveillance cameras.

They seemed pretty excited to have something to do it seemed. ;)

:hi:

[In_The_Wind]

32. Replacing all of the documents we seem to haul around is a real pain.

It sounds like you live in a peaceful place if the police are excited about having something to do. :rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

33. Guess why the police office is only open from 8 to 12 a. m. ;)

Crimes here stop after lunch hour. :rofl:

[In_The_Wind]

34. I wish every place on earth could do that!
