NASA selling off their space shuttles looked interesting, and a bit unusual, but at $28 million each, was a bit out of my price range, but could have made a nifty present. Maybe after Xmas during the sales the price might come down a bit?

 My boss gave me a company desk diary that was unusual.  The cover was put on back to front and upside down.  I hope they got them all at a good price! Smile

LOL @ Paul!  At $25 million, that would be a real bargain. LOL!

What is somebody going to do with something like that?! LOL!

I can tell a lot of thought went into your bosses gift. Reminds me of the time one of my bosses (not at my current job) gave everyone a small bonus, and then in January told everyone they get to choose the "extra hours" they want to work to make up for the bonus! No joke! LOL!

I watched 60 Minutes tonight and Andy Rooney was talking about a pocket light that kills germs.  Has a guarantee to kill 99% of bacteria.  Go figure.  Undecided  lol

Wait until you see the latest in cell phones, they do everything now...alarm clocks, e-mail, texting, hook up to satelite TV, cameras, down load your favorite mp 3 music, play video games, keep your calender of activites, use it for an note pad and messages, speaker phone of rhands free operation, video and voice mail..now they are road navigators, and this year you get the phones for "free" if you sign up for an two year hook up with the telephone company that sponsors the phone....the phone is regualry $399. Nice little stocking stuffer!!!

 Paul, every place I've went to work for yet, the minute they cut down on Christmas, it's like they go broke for some reason...the company changes hands. It's like saying mildly to not do your employees bad...think of them, even it's not much, but do something for them on your own...without being made to do so. I use to on my own as an supervisor bake cookies and give small stockings full of something for my own employees with my own money every year, and deliver in person on Christmas Day when they didn't have it off (medical facilty)...to let them know how much I appreciated them coming in that day. Little is the price of an coffee cup,ink pen..some something of that nature for the price of an loyal and good worker. Upside down and inside out, not sure of that one though...laughs*

I just came in from shopping and I'm sure it's nothing new, I've probably just not heard of it, but one of the offce supply stores carries flexible keyboards for the computer.  They come rolled up in a tube and they're made of rubber.  I've been meaning to get a new keyboard and these were only nine bucks, so I bought one for myself to give to my DH to put in my stocking.  Never thought I'd be getting a computer keyboard in my stocking.  lol
