What's a mamusz?The best gift I received was by my dear mother. She made a pair of hand-sewn mamusz for me with the online user name I used back then on the side of each.

I hope you fucking went off about the olive oil. Luckily when I had a house share my food had its own fridge. I would've gone insane if anyone touched my precious food. To be fair, I mostly ate rice, soy sauce and leftover scraps from work, so there wasn't much to steal.Drum-kit... my dad worked at a music store at the time
I walked out to the living room really early, and saw the drum kit glistening next to the tree. I soyfaced, then just went back to bed. I never got very good and someone ended up stealing it some 10 years later, but it was so cool and really fun
Moondrop IEM's, mostly because it was exactly what I wanted
I HATE!!!!! getting stuff that's not what I asked for. If I go through the trouble of being specific about something, I'd rather get nothing than something that I didn't ask for.. and I'm quite vocal about this. I had a roommate that would use all my good olive oil and "replace it" with some cheap Walmart canola oil.....![]()
You should buy/make yourself a present next year. Wrap it up really nicely and put it under your tree, and then unwrap it on Christmas. What do you think you would get yourself?No idea I genuinely hate the holiday. maybe my auto-stirring mug. doesn't really matter to be honest. if I got something really nice as a kid it was just so my parents could have it for themselves, if I have any fond memories of the holiday I don't remember them very well, perhaps that adds to my bias against it.
probably some kind of technology, if not then possibly a Runestone or other religious decorum or piece of symbolism.You should buy/make yourself a present next year. Wrap it up really nicely and put it under your tree, and then unwrap it on Christmas. What do you think you would get yourself?
you can actually fix this, a screen replacement wouldn't be that difficult.When I was around 12 years old I got a black DS Lite for Christmas and I loved that thing to pieces. I probably played the GBA port of Super Mario World more than anything else, but I have fond memories of Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, Nintendogs, Super Mario 64, Bowser's Inside Story, etc. DS Download Play was such a cool feature, it blew my mind that you could play full Mario Party with multiple people with just a single cartridge. As a kid I appreciated having it so if my siblings were being annoying and I just wanted to be alone I could go somewhere else in the house or even sit outside by myself and play it. Sadly, I had the nasty habit of leaving it in the car even in the winter, and eventually the top screen got a permanent black line through it after a particularly cold day. To its credit, that happened only during the 3rd or 4th winter of such abuse, and even then I still played it for years. I still have it and that thing still works, although I don't play it anymore.
I have nothing to contribute on these days, and I was being honest after all.posts to forum like it's Discord
That is a straightforward question and I responded accordingly. But given I am prompted to elaborate my previous reply further, then I'll add the following: a PlayStation 2 which I was gifted at the age of 9-10 (my first ever console, although I don't fully recall my pre-pubescent years unfortunately).What was the best Christmas gift you ever received?
