Hopefully the monetary value of items received matches or exceeds the monetary value expended on others. 

meh, ever since I became an adult, I doubt that has ever been the case. It's not the point though.

LOL, the ?haul?

You're still kind of a child, aren't you.

I don't mean in like the Bucket aspect of the term....But your mom and dad still buys you shit like video games and hardware and shit.....

Gifts from the S/O don't count if you ask me because ultimately, you're digging into your own pockets despite who actually "made" the money.

Gotta let me know how you like it, I keep hearing about these. You gotta do something from scratch though, like fries from potatoes or something.

Check out the ratings on them before you buy.  Consumer Reports said that some are extremely noisy and some are really difficult to clean.

I'm just curious if the French fries are just as good in an air fryer. I know that popcorn popped in corn oil has a better flavor, so I wonder how air fried food compares.

On the whole, they seemed to say that while good, the flavor was not quite the same as deep fried.  Depending on where you've gotten fries, that could be a good or bad thing.

Nothing like frying oil that should have been changed in the Obama administration to give fries a unique flavor.

what if we don't share accounts and expenses? but i digress. i got a pook man-sized onesie and socks from the wife. we (she) also got a pots & pans set from her mother. and i got the whole family (mostly for myself) a playstation vr, and also built that new gaming pc. we're heading nort' this weekend for my family's xmas, but i don't expect anything for myself. the boys will get another pile of crap, i'm sure.

wife and i also each got a $60 amazon gift card from our employees. the perks of owning a business...

Slight update. I did get a gift in the mail today from the Secret Swapper thing. 

It's a handmade kitty tea cup with a strainer and cover thingie from Nepal through one of those programs where all the proceeds go back to the crafters who make the stuff. I'm too afraid to use it. :D I think I might put it on the display counter in the kitchen with some of the other kitty things I don't want the monster to knock over.
