Uncle Balp says Sep 10, 2008 11:06AM No alcohol... One I know you do well, make a photo collection, nice frames. Make it of something he likes
Vint says Sep 10, 2008 11:16AM loaf, if that were the case this would be easy! No computer stuff best (will only give me more work to explain & set up. )
Vint says Sep 10, 2008 11:17AM at Balp, my mommy does not like to be snapshotted (never likes the portraits i take of her)... I could go and buy playboy magazine.
Vint says Sep 10, 2008 11:19AM ajmsnr, they don't have dvd player. Outdoors: he was self-making a bow and arrow, could buy him a real one, but that would ruing the...

Vint says Sep 10, 2008 11:17AM ... fun of making it himself? Fishing: nope. Warm sweater: now that's an idea! His old fleece is wearing down.
Vint says Sep 10, 2008 11:20AM cars: he has mercedes, but not a car freak. Boats: hmm, above budget. Small greenies: he thinks they are weird.
Uncle Balp says Sep 10, 2008 11:21AM I was thin g to make images of, you can photo other stuff than models you know The arrow sounded like an good idea,
Uncle Balp says Sep 10, 2008 11:26AM Get one of these frames with the photos next to each other, photo the parts of the arrow in the images, same color feeling, different places
Vint Sep 10, 2008 11:27AM notes down: warm sweater, arrows for the bow. As for the pictures, I dunno if mommy will let him hang those. (weapons) but could buy real
Uncle Balp says Sep 10, 2008 11:29AM You make it arty she love anything her dauther made I made photo frames for all one x-mas, all loved it, and you are much better than me
Vint says Sep 10, 2008 11:27AM 'You make it arty she love anything her dauther made' ... now that is a REALLY good joke. really.
Vint says Sep 10, 2008 12:02PM Nuuna, he makes 5 times as much as I do / hour. So gift cars kinda... well... . Bowshooting club idea is kewl too!
Ribbons Sep 10, 2008 12:44PM might suggest an alpaca sweater too - light weight, soft and fuzzy and warmmmm
Vint has Sep 10, 2008 12:59PM called for info for bow shooting initiation classes & real bow. Might even join him. Soon: girls with guns (and bows)
Vint says Sep 10, 2008 01:05PM Ribbons : we already got him a dodecaëder a few years back. He's still puzzled over it.
Madame Maracas Sep 10, 2008 01:50PM maybe a high quality model set for his favorite car? A nifty radio-controlled helicopter (amuses my dad who has everything to no end)?
Madame Maracas Sep 10, 2008 02:16PM yes I'd reccomend the ones w/counter rotating main rotors, they seem to handle better according to my Pops.
Vint asks Sep 10, 2008 02:35PM Nadine if she is suggesting I should give her as a bday present? Not sure mommy will like that!
