COLD DARK ROOM

[Yvonne G]

I'm ready. I'm so looking forward to seeing what all the boxes contain!!!!!!! One of these years I may even participate.

 

[Momof4]

I’ll be ready!!

I’m so sorry to my recipient!! I have a feeling it’s stuck in customs or a slow boat!

I did take pics of what I packed.

Does anyone here do Facebook? They've wrecked my home page. When I sign into facebook this is what I get:



Then if I click "next" it lists a whole lot of people's names that I may want to be friends with. If I click on "Newsfeed" I still get this same "welcome to facebook" page. Why do they have to mess with things? I guess I'm no longer a facebook person, because I don't want to have to mess around trying to figure out how to get my newsfeed back.

Kathy: It looks like your package is going around in circles! For cryin' out loud! How long does it take to get a package out of SoCal? Well, at least you know it's moving out of the "International" center and on to the next place. It still may arrive before Christmas.

Cool new hat was yesterday’s big purchase at the gift shop. As usual, all kinds of birding and wildlife books, clothing, trinkets and more.

This year, Ive paddled in Cambridge and Oxford and driven through Salisbury a few times. Never once had to board a plane!

If it was me, we all knew it might be a problem. We saw how long it took for Lena's card to come through. Besides now we all can get excited again. [emoji23] [emoji23] When Heather and I receive our gifts and open them up. [emoji3]

 

[Pastel Tortie]

Is this today?? I can’t remember!

And you're awake and online, too! I think it would be at 9:00 AM for you this morning.

With international shipping, sometimes they don’t update very much in between. It’s probably left the country and traveling slowly towards its destination.

No need for pictures I think? It will be another party when Heather and Carol get to open their presents!

I’m on Facebook every now and then. It’s slow for me sometimes, especially after the updates they make. My newsfeed is fine at the moment. But I know what you mean. It’s frustrating.

 

[Pastel Tortie]

I'm slightly confused on the timing now...so I will make sure I check back in an hour, then an hour after that!

Snap!!

Now to see if I can find Yvonne's post about Jeopardy and SO...

 

[CarolM]

While I wait patiently.

 

[Pastel Tortie]

I am a faithful Jeopardy watcher. Hardly ever miss a show. Two things that bother me - A WHOLE LOT!!!!! - First one is when the contestants are looking at the board to choose a question, they always say, "Uh-h-h-h-h-h. . ." and then choose the question. Second thing is at the intermission when Alex talks to each contestant he usually mentions something to get them to relate a story. 99% of the time the contestant begins his or her story with "so". . . So, my mom and I were watching Jeopardy. . .So I was on a round the world trip. . . So my teacher asked for volunteers. . . What's with SO? Can't people relate a story without beginning with 'so'?

So after I fed, watered and cleaned up after tortoises I took my wheelbarrow and rake down to the wood pile. I stacked all the firewood, then I raked up all the bark and junk and took it out to the manure pile. I worked so hard that I was able to take off my jacket, and by the time I got back into the house (with no fire in the wood stove), it was warm enough in there that I also had to take off my sweater! So now it's time to feed me and Misty and find a good story on my Kindle.

Quoting Yvonne's post from earlier to move it up in the thread, in case anyone hasn't seen it.

I wasn’t going to show the contents. Only if the package never arrived or things missing from it from customs.
I read a lot about thefts while customs checks the contents.

Not SNAP here, but we’re out shopping, wifey to the bank, I’m having a cappucino.
