Question by tinkswings: Can someone help me pick the perfect present?
My mother in law just retired after 36 years of teaching the firsdt grade and was a very dedicated teacher and is a great mother in law only problem is we dont have alot of money to spend on an expensive gift and her surprise retirement party is the end of this month. I would love to giver her something very thoughtful but cant come up with any ideas as yet and thought someone out there would be able to help. She is not yet 60 and loves gardening and traveling and her grandkids. Very into church activities.
The reason Im having such a problem is that the sister in law in all her glory is buying her a laptop and there is no way we can compete with that but I need some ideas to get on track for a thoughtful heartfelt gift that will mean something to her down the road. Oh yeah my SIL is also putting an album of pictures and letters from everyone invited to the party together for her also. so thats out too. Hope you can help and Thanks.

a bag of jelly beans might do the trick. if not, purchase her a recordable vhs and a bar of Irish Springs soap.

After 30+ years of teaching, my father retired and this was the Retirement Dinner. Interestingly enough, many of the staff at the school are Conservative and hold view points that differ from my staunch Liberal father. But they can all talk about guns and warfare. Would you rather get this then a watch?

Question by Lady Jagger: If you were a nun would you find this offenseve? (ideas for an art midterm project!)?
For my art midterm I have to make up an invitation to some type of event (kind of a dumb project) so I, being a huge Bowie/Jagger fan, decided that it would be cool to make an invitation to Ziggy Stardust’s retirement dinner (it was a very famous party back in the 70s) This party is referred to as Ziggy Stardust’s Last Supper, so I thought that it would be interesting to draw David Bowie and his friends in DaVinci’s last supper. There are pictures of the party and everyone is just sitting at one big table and it looks just like it lol. The only thing is I go to a Catholic school and my art teacher is a really nice nun, so I don’t want to offend her. Is that inappropriate?
Than you SOO much!

Answer by DL
I’m not really sure…I’ve never been to Catholic school so I don’t really know what the rules are or anything. Does the nun have a good sense of humor? She might appreciate the humor in your idea. But I think it’s a judgment call on your part.

What do you think? Answer below!
