There are Kim. Gifting is perfectly fine as long as there is no hinting. But walking in a fair together and one buying a gift for the other - it’s not abstinence. At least not in my book.Of course, there have be some loopholes, don't there?

Lots of people like that out there. Would rather hold onto their stuff than actually sell it and make, at the least, a smaller profit...but a profit nonetheless. They may change their minds later after the stuff sits there longer.So I walked away. Not worthy of my business.
If he would just have acknowledge the screw up and even told me he needed to make some money - I might have given him the benefit of the doubt.Lots of people like that out there.

I was kind of surprised myself, but I think tomorrow’s shave will be a good one too!Encouraging news about the MIC KCG blade.
Keep us posted. I loved the MIR version. We’ll see if I get the MIC ones. Your data will help that decision.I was kind of surprised myself, but I think tomorrow’s shave will be a good one too!
