I have 2 room mates living in my basement.

@DocteurRalph it is very sad for kids. My husb grew up Buddhist and they never celebrated holidays or bdays (I think part of it was religion, but it was also poverty). He said it was very hard to go to school after Christmas break and hear what all the other kids got/did.

I think I'm just going to give him a gift card to a restaurant. In an envelope and not wrapped...

True...but food is/was a celebration of a certain and specific holiday.

But maybe I will just do a gift card in an envelope

Save or invest?

That link makes me want to cry...to think of all the money we could have right now if we bought it while it was cheap..

Yeah, I agree. But remember, it could be a "pump and dump" and it is not really backed by much (yet) and is getting more expensive because of the hype.

Still...would be good to have invested a ton early on...

How old is the JW? From my understanding they don't want gifts or are taught to not take them. So it might be offensive depending on how serious they are. Maybe their a chill JW

He's 22.

I think they don't celebrate Thanksgiving, either. But he felt no qualms about taking all of the food that I prepared for TG....

Money is always useful. Especially so, when you are about to be homeless ;)

I would do as Eddieee suggested but the same for both. Cash or a gift card to a local store. Save the gifts for giving later perhaps just out of the blue to brighten their day.

And not for any specific religious holiday. JVs don't celebrate birthdays either.

Honestly great advice

Do you think the JV room mate would be offended? I kind of don't....but not sure

Maybe I'll have to do a post about the room mate, because it seems like there are some issues...but I feel like some of it is because he's young, but not sure...lol

I ended up getting a larger phone with a larger virtual keyboard. Found it really made a difference and less 'pinch to zoom'.

Guess I will have to switch one day. Just hate spending the $$$

I bought mine used off Ebay, working 'as-is', from a re-seller. Wasn't anything wrong with it and I ended up paying less than 1/4 list.

Good deal :) Will have to check it out

I agree. All of that is a side effect of bad vision
