-Industrial size box of condoms
-Case of beer
-Designer chastity belt (mixed signals perhaps )
-Designer purse
-Photo Board-DVD with pics, trophys, etc
-Laptop
-Power tools for Dad (thats what you meant, right!?? lol

I wonder if Wally-mart has "every-day low prices" on chastity belts and Gucci bags.. hmmmm time to shop..

Thanks gang!!

What was I thinking! Sometimes I forget where I'm at....mostly male forum
Remember, we are a diversified group here. While I'm not wealthy, I like nice and sometimes expensive things. I'm frugal for the most part. But we all have our vices.

So true... luckily some vices don't need a big financial investment..

Well, you can hold off on the keg party until her 21st birthday and get her a laptop computer for now.

Just to close the loop...

The grad party went really well.. It rained most of the time but I had the RARE foresight to rent a 20x20 tent with tables and chairs so we all survived just fine. A large 3 sided poster board held tons of printed pics from childhood to current and I made a slide show of pics and had it running on continuous loop on a laptop... (thank god someone picked it up when the rain started!!)

My daughter was a great hostess to her guests and I rewarded her with a wine cooler due to your suggestions... lol

Now.. I have to find that damn Gucci handbag.. WalMart was sold out!

ooops... I guess my lesson for the day is to be careful what you type.. it comes back to bite ya in the a$$ !! lol

In seriousness, I thought she had acted very adult, no one was there other than my own family, and she asked me first (no sneaking) so I said "ok".

She is off to college in a matter of weeks..She will be making more adult choices every day... Hopefully I have taught her how to make good decisions, and how to take repsponsibility for bad ones.. Other than that, all I can do is pray she survives the craziness of college life and makes good use of all that money I am spending

I am just giving you a hard time. You sound like a great dad with a great daughter with a good head on her shoulders. I am sure you have taught her "right and wrong" and she will continue to impress you and gain your respect through her college years.
