i know
won't let me delete

so here's totally useless kitchen gadget to play with

My parents were always heavy drinkers since I can remember. A pitcher of martinis on week nights and Saturday and Sunday it's Bloody Mary's to start and then onto Whiskey Sours in the afternoons, and martinis at night. When my Dad left, my Mom increased her intake and is pretty much half in the bag most days by noon. My problem is that for my birthday and at Christmas she always gives me the same thing: a $50 U.S. Savings bond and a garlic press. The money is fine but I have now accumulated over 2 dozen garlic presses. When I moved out 12 years ago, I must have mentioned how I liked Italian food with plenty of garlic and this set Mom on a path to make sure I good get all the garlicky goodness out of every clove. The problem is is tha I used a garlic press once and found it to be totally useless and a real pain to clean. So I'm stuck with all these garlic presses and I even though I have told Mom I don;t need anymore, her alcoholism seems to erase her memory about this five minutes after I tell her. My Dad has been sober for many years and he can;t offer any advice other than say thanks, and toss the thing away.

What should I do?
