I'm more of a crafty giver, I spend lots of time on gifts but not lots of money. Because I don't have any.

I'm pretty sure that her boobs were a big part of her eating disorder. She hasn't been under 100 lbs since the surgery--and she has the back strength to stand up straight. :) Actually, she got me a ticket to visit her in Singapore about 5 years later, so... you know, it's all good. And my mom loves the necklace :P chopsuey on "What's the most expensive thing you purchased for someone else?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-whats-the-most-expensive-thing-you-purchased-for-someone-else#post-68574 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:43:53 +0000 chopsuey 68574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Rubies: aww hope your parents have a fantastic time!! :) Ugh.

He never got a watch for our wedding so I wanted him to have something really nice. It's sportier looking than the plain faced ones so it's really great for everyday wear. It was a bargain though... outlet purchase, yet again :) Rubies on "What's the most expensive thing you purchased for someone else?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-whats-the-most-expensive-thing-you-purchased-for-someone-else#post-68523 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:25:30 +0000 Rubies 68523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Last November, my brother, hubs, and I bought my parents an 8-day vacation in Hawaii.
