I held off from joining until Georgie invited me so what the heck I went for it. It looked to be almost all women, which is not a problem for me. I like women, I love hanging around with them. I think they are great and have always gotten along well with them. I like hanging around with guys also but women just add that little extra zing to things. Especially my wife Sweetie, she puts the Z in zing.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways after I signed up then the anxiety starts. What am I going to buy for the exchange? I&#8217;m just no good at picking out scented candles and other smelly items or useless little soaps and stuff like that. The person I&#8217;m going to buy for is going to be so disappointed in &nbsp;rolls of camo duct tape, tshirts, &nbsp;fishing cap led lights and stuff like that. Luckily I got paired with somebody who would I think appreciate stuff like that. She was very gracious about it when she blogged about it. The stuff probably ended up in a dirty santa exchange but hey that&#8217;s life.<\/p>\n<p>So, then I waited for my little soaps, pot pourri, and candles, maybe a book mark or a bodice ripper romance novel. Hey, I was ready for anything and then Sweetie called me and said my Secret Santa gift had arrived. I got home and sure enough I had a package waiting for me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/4192697978\/\" title=\"20091217_1 by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"20091217_1\" height=\"375\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/4192697978_63a2265140-300x225.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I opened it up and guess what?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/4192699090\/\" title=\"20091217_2 by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"20091217_2\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/4192699090_ba05b20e4a-225x300.jpg\" width=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It is a Guppie Multi-Tool!<\/p>\n<p>Its has a knife, a multi-bit screw driver, wrench, flashlight, and a beer bottle opener.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/4192700214\/\" title=\"20091220 by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"20091220\" height=\"375\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/4192700214_6e14615081-300x225.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/4191939629\/\" title=\"20091221 by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"20091221\" height=\"375\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/4191939629_a201941f75-300x225.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This tool is going to get used a lot.
