 I think we got busy with that weekend GB for a bit! I honestly have no idea where my kids hid this SS gift.  Went to look and it had vanished to their giggles! Confused [%-)]

they do, thats when you hand them upside down by their ancles for a couple of min to get their brains working functionally again.

On a side note, a music anctidote.  Handel, the composer, most known for his oratorio "Messiah" You all know the Hallelujah corrus.  He was putting together a production of one of his works, and his soprano refused to sing the piece the way he wrote it, demanding him re-write it how she wanted it.  He hung her out the window by her feet untill she agreed to do it his way.

well you cant GET 10... but if you open yours early your gona have to send OUT 10.

 

and just because you have one box, doesnt mean theres only one kit.  I know I sent out a package with more then one thing in it, so did others.

I have sent and received. And the person I sent to has posted that he received it.

And what is it about Christmas wrapping paper? My gift came wrapped. It drove me crazy until I put it away. Now today my wife gets several plain old cardboard packages from UPS and I know they contain my gifts. Yet I have no urge to pry open the corners to peek inside. I guess it's nice that a bit of the little kid lives in us no matter how old we get.

I planned on sending out a card with a picture of the family out to my victim  along with a couple little goodys to go with the kit but that may not go as planned.

I still plan on sending the card and extras less the family pic due to issues with the cammra Banged Head [banghead]

 

Sign - Oops [#oops] did I mention that I didnt wrap my gift?

Does this mean I get the firing squad?

You got a telegram from headquarters today. Headquarters--what is it? Well, it's a big building where generals meet, but that's not important right now. [ img] f_armorsecretm_ac7eb73[/ img]

Did you send the gift out yet?

You wont get in trouble for not wrapping, but next year, wrap it.

Just a heads up if you have NOT sent your gift out yet, do it ASAP.  if you cant do it within the week you MUST go for two day shipping, I know its more expensive, but you did commit to this.

 Just put my gift under the tree. Wife and kids got it up just in time. The odd thing was the dog started growling at it and then ran away?

The kit was sent a couple weeks ago but I was waiting for the cards and pics before I sent the extra goodys.

My person has recieved the kit.

I will be sending the rest this weekend.

Any chance that Avus could resize that GB badge ?  I'd like to put it up, but it takes up a chunk-o-room.

I have to say, im dieing here, I want to see what I was sent, but more then that.  I want to see what the person I sent to thinks of his gift, and whateveyone else got.

as an exercise of extreme torture, if oyu can (I cant, parents snaged it so I dunno which it is) post a pic of the gift you got, wrapped
