Considering as Governor for Arkansas he claimed approximately $100k worth of gifts given to him and his wife in one year. He registered at Target when he was moving out of his Governor mansion. So are these postive attributes for a person who is seeking the Presidency? Their willingness to receive gifts from anybody.
Do you think Huckabee's willingness to except all gifts large and small is a positive attribute for candidate?
I am becoming very disenchanted with Mr. Huckabee the more his record is examined. To be honest the fact that he registered at Target for gifts pales in comparison with:
1. He won't release his sermons when he was a full-time minister. Isn't that part of the job as a minister to "minister".
2. The Covenant Pledge he signed stating that his wife would be subservient to him.
3. His less than Christian platform toward people with AIDS. Yes this was many years ago but well after medical experts stated that the disease was not transmitted by person to person contact.
Reply:At least he did not "loot" the Governors mansion like the Clinton's did the White House.
And speaking of gifts... how have all of those illegal Chinese men and women afford to give Hillary $2000 in campaign contributions when they earn under $15000 a year....
and you are complaining about declared (legal) gifts.
Reply:just business as usual coming from Arkansas
Reply:Of course. Would you prefer someone who is ungracious enough to refuse them especially when some cannot be converted back onto cash.
As long as he declares them and they are within the rules what's the problem?
Accepting a gift does not have to put someone under any obligation and many are thanks for services past, not bribes in the hope of favors in future.
Reply:Actually Huckabee and his wife received a total of $150 K over the period of 10 1/2 years.
The gifts were from Coca Cola - a plastic canoe worth $ 500.
A stadium blanket worth $ 200. from a co-worker.
The list goes on like this, I read and re-read looking for the smoking gun myself.
But in conclusion, receiving a total of $ 15 K a year is not much for his position.
Bottom line is that people liked him enough to give him gifts and he did the right thing by claiming them.

How do I politely say NO GIFTS on my babys 1st birthday invitations?
We really do not want any gifts at all. She has everything she needs, and simply want people to show up. thanks.
How do I politely say NO GIFTS on my babys 1st birthday invitations?
There is no polite way. Some people say "No Gifts, Your Presence Is All We Need" or something like that, but you shouldn't mention gifts in any way at all on an invitation.
Reply:Recently recieved an invitation that read this:
As _____'s first birthday is finally here,
We're inviting friends and personalized dear.
To choose a favorite story or fairy tale
That you would like her to hear.
Instead of a gift, please let ___ look,
At your special choice of a book.
And then to ____will her mother read
With all the love a child will need.
So with a personal touch, please choose a book
And in it then your name do put.
It need not cost more than a card
Just pick a favorite, it shouldn't be hard!
You could play around with the wording to make it fit like you want it to read.
You could say something about only expecting their prescence instead of presents. Then just verbally put the word out and it will get passed on.
Good luck!
Reply:If you post "No Gifts" in any manner at all, it may be misconstrued that you're expecting cash.
You might say someting like, "We are requesting your company or presence and best wishes only".
That may indicate no gifts without saying it.
My thoughts.
Reply:People will bring what they want her to have.
How about specifying on the invite that all gifts will be donated to a local Children's Hospital. But even if you get something you may like, you have to give it away.
Reply:"Please come and celebrate (child's name)'s first birthday! We will have cake and ice cream (dinner...)
We only ask the gift of your time. Please don't bring boxes and bags of brightly wrapped gifts."
Reply:Don't put it on the invitations - you're not supposed to address the issue of gifts at all on them. You can tell a few people and let them get the word out.
Reply:Tell them in lieu of gifts for your baby they can donate a gift in her name to a local charity or terminally ill kids.
Reply:hmmm how about this after you have all the invite things: PLEASE NO GIFTS! SHE DRIVES US CRAZY WITH THE ONES SHE ALREADY HAS! BESIDES.....WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF SPACE! thank you kindly!
Reply:Please come to ______'s party! Your presence is all the gift she needs!
Reply:say u will donate the gifts or that they could bring money to donate to a charity.
Reply:just state on the invites you just want their company and to please not bring gifts
Reply:not an answer to your question just to say how very classy you are!

How should I design my Christmas gifts?
Hello! I don't have much money for Christmas gifts this year, so I decided to home make them. So far I've decided I'm going to take pictures on a disposable camera, get them developed, and decorate them/make a Christmas frame. Or something like that. Does anyone artistic/creative have any ideas what to do with a photo to make a good present? I'm not good at art like that. Thanks.
How should I design my Christmas gifts?
Anytime I've given a photo as a gift it is either a picture of something dear to me, or to the person receiving, or both. Just keep it simple. Of course u have to be good with the camera to capture a moment, but that's up to you.
Reply:Memorabilia works best. If you can get pictures from the past (family members or relatives from a bygone era), frame them and give them as a gift it will be far better received than something thrown together at the last minute from images captured on a disposable camera.

I need ideas for christmas cracker gifts?
I am making my own christmas crackers and need suggestions on inexpensive gifts to fill them.
I need ideas for christmas cracker gifts?
Depends on how many you are making, and whom for.
For kids, I would suggest: stickers, small erasers, rubber balls, plastic animals, rings, and other age-appropriate things (nothing too small for the little ones).
For teens: gel pens, glow sticks, earrings or bracelet, keyring, pin, stickers, candy, gift card (eg. $5 from Walmart or McDonald's, or wherever they like), phone card for their cell phone, cell phone charms, zipper pull, etc.
For adults you really are limited only by what the person likes.
For the chef, perhaps a mini whisk, spatula or cheese knife. Small packets of food items (eg. hot coacoa or chicken noodle soup).
For the gamer, a gift card for their favorite store, or a brand new cheat code printed on nice paper.
For the animal rights person, perhaps a donation to their favorite charity, or a coupon to donate your time at their charity of choice.
For the crafter, there are lots of bits and bobs at the dollar store that will please them!
Open your mind to options that are not the "norm". Think beyond what is normally in a cracker, and add your own personal twist :D
HTH!!

Reply:www.orientaltrading.com has a huge selection of items that would fit into crackers.
Reply:well go to walmart in the party aisle they have some cheap stuff. also candy. confetti..small bells, bows, santa cut outs, same with xmas trees, and snowmen, stuff that says merry christmas. or better yet fake snow...
Reply:Christmas Crackers seem to be an English tradition. Crackers were placed on the table next to each plate and each person opened one, on a holiday, birthday or special occassion. Inside you may include paper hats, that roll up, finger puzzles, candy, little whistles, beads, rings, or any little thing you can find at a party store.
Reply:I put in mini alcohol bottles - all recipients are adults; and scratch %26amp; win tickets. Individually wrapped chocolates are good, too. I add a bell so there's festive cheer when the crackers are shaken. A friend of mine has used small christmas ornaments in the past - they were well received by her guests.
If you want longer crackers, cut desired length from paper towel rolls or wrapping paper rolls, instead of limiting yourself to the size of toilet paper rolls.

Is it true that cats bring dead mice/birds into the house as gifts for their owners?
They wouldn`t know any better..
I went outside to find my cat playing with a mouse and preparing to bring it inside.. When he saw me he started meowing and brought it up to me, purring and rubbing against my legs. He seemed very proud of himself. I read somewhere that they bring dead animals as gifts for their owners, but was wondering if there was any solid proof in terms of animal psychology.

You are the leader of the pack so to say even though cats are not pack animals. They do this to show you loyalty. Plus if they keep you happy then you will not kick them out.
I have one cat that "Kills" his cat toys all the time and will drag them threw the house and bring them to us. The best thing to do is praise him for the gift pick it up and throw it away. With some cats it is just something they do.
Reply:he/she is either bringing it back as a present as apresation or to keep it to show surpierer or to show u to hunt and how it's done
Reply:Absolutely YES---IT'S TRUE!!! If you have a cat that goes outdoors, and has access to rats, mice, lizards, birds, etc., you might be presented with ANY of these "gifts"! ENJOY!
Reply:I kinda think that's true because my best friend's cat has also brought up a number of things (Mice and birds) to her, and she talks about it all the time...My cat hasn't seriously done a stunt like that, but I think it is true that sometimes, cats WILL bring dead mice and birds to their owner as gifts.
Reply:I heard this, but as far as it being the truth, maybe there is a little truth to it.
Reply:Thats what everyone says! Just like you give your cat love and food, he wants to give you things. He feels proud about catching it and wants you to be true. My yorkshire terrier did it aswell, a dog! I hate it when they catch birds but mice are ok, atleast those things are removed!Just pet your cat when he gives it to you, act like tou like it, lol.
Reply:Actually yes. They see you as their provider. I don't know about solid proof, but it's been said in the cat books and magazines for years. Whether we think it's an appropriate gift or not, they do, and certainly ARE proud of themselves!
(I actually just had my cat get ahold of my pet gerbil the other day...she was rather proud of herself, until she realized I wasn't happy in the slightest with her... I think she heard me threaten to send her away, because she seemed miserable the rest of the day.)
Reply:ooooh im a question stalker!!
tehe
Reply:they werent bringing it as a gift. they wanted to keep it for themselves. cats dont recognize..ownership.
Reply:Its not really a "gift" per se. It goes back to when their mamma cat brought them food. They think they are providing for their family in a way. We always praise our cat and leave it out for her to finish off how she likes, otherwise, she will leave it for us to do what we want with it and that just doesn't fly with me:))
Both of my cats killed a mouse the other day in my house and brought it right up to me in the kitchen (GROSS). I told them "good kitties" and left and when I came back, it was gone :)
Reply:No as gifts but as their contribution to the food supply of the "pride" which includes the human members. .
Reply:Omg mine did from Gopher heads from small rodents it like see mom I'm a good hunter here breakfast lol
Reply:yes. it is to be a gift to their owners
Reply:yes-my cat used to bring squirrels.Thanks Church-I miss you.
Reply:yes they love bringing presents wait till you get a frog brought in
Reply:Yes, absolutely.
It's either showing off (Because they think it will impress you) or "providing for you" in the same way a mother cat brings prey to her kittens to feed them.
Not sure which, but it is definitelly very common behavior.
Reply:Yes it is true
So nice of your cat
Reply:My cat just brought a bird in for me and him to check out. The problem is, it wasn't dead. It flew all over the house and he chased it, knocking all my stuff of the tables and so forth. It was crazy. I'm not so sure he came to bring it to me, but he did bring it inside.
