Just about every fall - it used to be October - right when I would go off track. The year it got infected was when in laws were visiting. We went on the Napa Valley train and I could barely eat. I was miserable.

I don't think so. They're not anywhere nearby this time.
They're not bad - except they refuse to give me clothes for Christmas. "Clothes are a neccesity." Not cashmere.
I have gotten a roasting pan from them though. I really wanted one, so it was okay.

I had a salivary stone once, and didn't know what was happening to me! Very painful Originally Posted by massbikebabe
I didn't eat any thing solid for three days because it was so painful when my gland swelled up in response to making saliva. An ENT doc I sidelined told me to suck on the lemon drops and massage the gland to push the saliva and the stone through. Sure enough, I was driving to work sucking on sour lemon drops, massaging the gland, and pop! Instant relief. Hope yours gets out of there soon!

Good culinary tools are definitely a good gift, but this would be also. 'Course in red.

I saw some really cute cashemere jammies somewhere. It was a camisole top and shorts.
But no, I won't get any clothes from my in laws. This year I predict that I will get either a Powerflare, a laptop desk or maybe disc brakes for my mountain bike. Those were the non-clothing items on my list.

You mean these matching ones?

As long as they pay attention to your list. My MIL is a dear but she doesn't ask and then complains we are hard to buy for. Building a fine collection of jewelry that isn't even close to my taste. One year only she gave me a cashmere turtle. As I was kissing her feet, I told her she could just give me a new color every year. Didn't work.

Nope but those are nice. And the kind of thing I actually wear.
I just may get them for myself.
They really do buy off the list we give them - which is cool. The roaster I got was exactly the one I wanted - a nice high end one.
