#AMinspire Gems of the Week

If you have extra money, what gift would you buy for a poor stranger? 🙂 #AMinspire

@AC_Dargis I’d make sure they had toys for their kids from Santa.  Smiles are good gifts, right? #AMinspire

@cityislandfresh a down jacket because it’s cold!

@scottnobleNS 1st find out what they need & get that, then throw in some surprises. #AMInspire

@calvinmweaver Can you put a price on hope? I would probably decide after spending some time with them, figure out what they need.

Which dies first in a relationship: hope or trust? 🙂 #AMinspire

@leyla_a Trust

@larboz Trust. There’s hope till you lose trust.

@JustKallmeKells Trust

@John_Trader1 Neither if you keep the lines of communication open

@ugofidecab apply your basic stategy, why/how/what? Then as new complications arise, strengthen why and how before asking “o.k., what now?”

@SrhBinion Time to meet new people.. Its not a good relationship without hope and trust.

@ZvzRo I’d say hope

@tabris326 They may go hand in hand…

@dsonz1 Agreed!!!! RT @leyla_a: Trust

@scottnobleNS Trust first, hope could be shortly after that though.

@leyla_a 12:42am @manamica how can there be any hope without trust?

@larboz @JustKallmeKells

@JustKallmeKells Trust

@John_Trader1 To: @manamica @SrhBinion It’s all about communication, even when it’s most difficult. Never drop communication ball no matter how tough it is.

@larboz Exactly RT @leyla_a: @manamica how can there be any hope without trust? @JustKallmeKells

@mikegonzalez2k Trust, u continue with hope even when u dont trust them hoping u can change their behavior. But u cant change anyone.

Given a chance to be charitable… what gift would you buy for a baby orphan? 🙂 #AMinspire

@jwsgt  a good family if possible, but as fash as buying a full ride education (private school all the way to college).

@ZvzRo that’s hard! i’d buy something for him/her to love and have forever. It really depends on the situation and other things

@scottnobleNS If a home not poss, an education.

“Very wise answers, guys. :)”

What is the craziest gift you bought? #AMinspire

@jasonkonopinski You’ll laugh. My sister was obsessed w/ stars. So my wife & I had one named after her. Meaningless & meaningful all at once. 🙂

@nsandlin I sent a cute brick-caddy doorstop by boat to London complete w brick, bec English bricks are a diff size. Sent 9/1 for Xmas.

@oreilly_shannon This year I’m thinking of buying my mother a GC for wine making! You walk out with 30 bottles of wine! They make good gifts also!

@michaelminella One of every type of Chapstick the local drug store sold.

“LOL. So funny!”

December 12, 2011

What do you do when you have a crappy day? 🙂 #AMinspire

@misslori Smile at every1 I can & soak in their returned smiles. That & chocolate

@kogitokat Crappy day calls for a break. If Im at work, I go for a coffee/tea and snack. At home, I’d work out or veg in front of the tv.

@KathyTingTingYu Sing it out!

@scottnobleNS Play with my two kittens, pick spirits up quick, oh & chocolate.

@JennGHan Hope your day is getting better!

How do you plan to splurge for your Christmas? 🙂

@cityislandfresh lots of time w/fam and friends…and cookies, lots of  baking

@oreilly_shannon Snowboarding trip for New Years! #loveyourAMinspires

@meg_geek I’m trying to use up all my gift cards from 2007-2011 before X-mas.:-)

@JRTheOneandOnly no splurging can’t afford it this christmas, delayed gratification. However, spending time with me is my gift.

@scottnobleNS Learned very quickly, nothing more than time with family needed

“Exciting plans!”

December 14, 2011

If you must throw a party, which would you choose? A buffet or a cocktail party? 🙂 #AMinspire

@larboz Cocktail Party

@DailyDealChat cocktail, buffet parties can get quite messy if done improperly #justsaying unless of course it is italian family style or sushi

@xDeepS Dec Cocktail party!

@matthewstasoff Cocktail. I rather clean up glasses than food.

@scottnobleNS A Maritime Kitchen Party.

“Cocktail party!”

December 15, 2011
Christmas is so close! How do you feel about it? What are your secret wishes? 🙂 #AMinspire

@markketing It did come up rather quickly didn’t it!!

 

THANK YOU TO ALL! =)
