My mom gifted me a book called the placebo written by a chiropractor.
I've been explicit over the years about chiropractors.
Seems to imply it's the exception and not the rule. It's hard enough to figure out what I want/need for myself, why would someone's guess or random whim be better? Just toss it on the pile of stuff people expect me to keep b/c they gave it to me...
My mother wanted to give me a 2x2x1 foot bug zapper. I live in a small townhouse, only a few feet of outdoor space. What we do have is taken up with native plants trying alto attract bees and insects due to the shocking drop in them. We also live in a climate that does not have mosquitoes or annoying bugs really. In the 8 years I've lived here we have had one fly come into our home, we've never complained about bugs once, and we've constantly talked about how little space we have.
I returned it.
A watch, lady Christmas. I don't like knowing what time it is and I can't wear wrist jewelry at work.
