Just a quick update about my father-in-law's house...the river crested and we haven't had significant rain for the last three days.
We still haven't been able to make it to the house because his road is flooded. So as of now we aren't sure if the water has made it in the house yet. Stay tuned for another update. by: MENeGifts 0 Comments

Have you heard the story of the Collyer brothers?
According to Wikipedia Homer and Langley Collyer were two American brothers who became famous because of their snobbish nature, filth in their homes, and compulsive hoarding. Homer and Langley Collyer were compulsive hoarders. The two brothers had a fear of throwing anything away (disposophobia) and obsessively collected newspapers and other junk in their house. They even set up booby-traps in corridors and doorways to protect against intruders. In 1947, an anonymous tip called that there was a dead body in the Collyer house, and after much initial difficulty getting in, the police found Homer Collyer dead and Langley no where to be found. About two weeks later, after removing nearly 100 tons of garbage from the house, workers found Langley Collyer's partially decomposed (and rat-chewed) body just 10 feet away from where they had found his brother. Apparently, Langley had been crawling through tunnels of newspapers to bring food to his paralyzed brother when he set off one of his own booby-traps. Homer died several days later from starvation. Moral of the story... Don't buy garbage. Get rid of those old lighters and pick up one of our new high quality NFL Zippo Lighters.

So, the river water is still bordering my father-in-law's house but it hasn't made it inside yet. We're looking at dry weather the next couple of days so hopefully the water will recess.
At this point there is nothing else we can do so we'll turn our full-time attention back to the business. We will continue the search for hot new gifts for men. Thanks to Garrett P. from Ohio for suggesting the Grilled Jalapeno Pepper Trays. We were able negotiate a great price and have added them to our store. I promise to keep you informed of the status on my father-in-law's house. by: MENeGifts 0 Comments

 Could you put down the camera and pass me the sandbag? That's what I wanted to say, but I subconsciously heard the words mom used to say, "if you don't have anything nice to say...". Plus, he was just doing his job. He was a photographer for the Chicago Tribune and his assignment was to cover the flood damage from the recent influx of storms to hit the area. He just happened to drive down my father-in-law's street when he saw us working outside his home. The storms had forced the Fox River to break it's banks and spill into the backyards of everyone with a home bordering the river. The water was not yet in the house but it was as close as I've ever seen it. In some areas there was about a foot between the house and the river water. However, the majority of the home's perimeter walls were within inches of the swollen river. It's bound to happen. The storms keep coming. The river keeps rising. It's not looking good for my father-in-law's house. At this point we just need to hope that the sandbags that we laid down will be enough.
