ah.

arent scented candles a form of insense? you burn it and it smells nice?

are there any books that your mom likes and doesnt have yet? like a novel series or romance books by a particular author?

Insence is something fairly different from a scented candle. Candles you light and let burn, insence you light and then blow out so it smokes.

I bought Mom a special cake pan for an early birthday present. Now I just need to figure out what else I'm going to get her.

i usually get my mom a card... but i make sure its a funny card. usually about her age or her attitude.

i think one year i got her a card that said. your sweet as pie, and just as crusty. or something like that.

That's cute.

I love Hello Cthulhu; and this day marks the first time that I have ever come across the phrase "scaly tactical nuke with wings".

incense is the aroma infused into a certain substance, the aroma is carried around the room by hte smoke.

with a scented candle, the aroma is captured in hte wax, when hte wax melts, the aroma is set free to evaporate as it normally would.

Like I said, quite different. Thanks for elaborating, Ryuki.

I think washing the sink and all of Mom's dishes counts as a birthday gift, right?

only if your feeling guilty or got introuble.

ugh.. i hate doing dishes... i remember splitting up the chores with my bro an sis. and we didnt have a dishwasher so we had to do all the dishes by hand... i hated spegetti night.

Yeah, I hate doing dishes, too. That's why I tend to get these huge piles of dishes in my container. I keep putting it off.

I don't mind doinfg the dishes. After working in a pizzeria for 4 years and washing dishes every night I worked....I got used to it.

My dad keeps getting pissed at me and my brother about leaving plates on the counter. We just never usually do them.

Oh, I'm used to it, I just think it's kind of annoying.

i just procrastinate. its very easy. especially since i dont have to wash for a family of 5 any more. thats alot of work never gonna see again and glad of it.

i just dont want to do it, and when i know i gotta i keep puttin it off cause i wanna watch these movie, play that game, read this book an so on an so forth. so it normally gets put on the back burner for a couple of days. lol.

but once i start on them im done in a blink of an eye.. unless i forget to unload the dishwasher.. which i always forget.

Yep, that's pretty much what I end up doing for my laundry, too. I don't mind the smell, but I can't stand loading and unloading the washer and dryer.

Well, that and cleaning the lint trap. I can't stand cleaning the lint-trap.

On the other hand, I love ice cream sandwiches. I'm eating one right now.

You get ice cream and all I get is some crackers. Man, where's the chocolate bars when I need them?

Well, you could go buy yourself some. That's what I did with my ice cream sandwiches.

i love the choculate ice cream sandwiches. those are my fav.

the lint trap in the dryer? i dont mind that. it was always soft and smells good.

i dont buy sweets. i try to cut back on my sugar intake. unfortunately thats not always the case as my family is always buying stuff like that. i luv luv luv it all. shame on me.

I like sweets; peanut butter cups, M&Ms, ice cream sandwiches... All kinds. I just have to keep myself from eating them all at once when I do have them.

I could go but one myself but money is tight for me at the moment. now if you're offering to pay for me then that would be another story,

Well, that would be very polite of me; I don't know where to send it, so that might present something of a problem, however. :wink:

hey, there is nothing like getting a soggy hot icecream sandwich in the mail. nothing at all! lol.

I don't think that would be very nice at all; I think that's why he was implying that I should send him money.
