My sister just got back from honduras and while down there she bought me a gift. Well I come upstairs and she tells me the gift is on the table. I go and look and laying there is a machete. I was speechless to say the last. No clue why she bought it, but strangely i love it. Any family members buy you guys anything unexpected like that?

When I was a kid, I'd get a machete, but not as a gift. My old man was too frickin' stingy to buy a lawn-mower.[cursing]
The machete was for trimmin' the lawn and for clearing an area of shrubs and other unwanted vegetation. Believe it or not I was pretty good at it. My grandpa taught me how to angle the blade a certain way and how to swing it in an arc. It was almost like shaving the lawn. A first I suffered back discomfort, till I got used to it. I had to learn not to swing wild, might strike my ankles with the blade.[shocked] I replace the cheap plastic handle with a wooden one, it just offered a firmer grip and felt more secure, especially with a sweaty palm. ![]() Back in the 80's I presented my ex father-in-law with an vintage 22" Collins and Co. Legitimus machete that I had purchased while deployed to Tegucigalpa, Honduras. It was chrome plated and had the national seals of Panamá, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Belize and Mexico had been stamped on the side of the blade. The nicely decorative black leather sheath had an opening length-wise so as to show-off the seals. I think it cost me around $40 USD, back then (can't remember how many lempiras that turned out to be). Of all the gifts he's received from me, the machete is the one he treasured the most. Enjoy your gift, stearic. ![]() |

I have no idea what my adopted family thinks of me. Step sisters and stuff. Once my mum and step dad pass away I have no idea if there would be any contact. I feel that I'm still on the outside.
![]() Sure they are nice to me and stuff, it I dunno, it just doesn't feel like I fit into the family. I guess they are just way older. |

Why am i not surprised that someone posted something like this? "Well I was over my sisters today, and she was sort of acting funny and then... the told me she loved me... but the type of love ones sister should not show for their brother."
