Post by: Darthvadar on November 02, 2015, 03:42:46 PM
Ooooh, here we go again!!!!!....

Details more or less reposted from last year.... Not much has changed!....

Dougal the Dog is taking Mum's place again this year... Mum loved IHD SS, so he's raised a paw to volunteer to keep her memory alive by participating!...

So here goes....

First 'Dougal' the Dog....

Well... He's a dog!... What can I say???... I'll try.... I have asked him to do this... His reply???... Takes the dog biscuit I offered, turns his furry butt to me, lies down, and goes to sleep... Think I'll have to do this for him!...  Here goes....


My favourite colour is: Who cares... Looks good in red, though???...  :rofl;

My favourite animal is:  Other doggies... Lots and lots of other doggies... Been known to kiss the occasional cat, but I'll deny that!!!!!....

My favourite food is: I'll eat anything that doesn't eat me first!... It has been said that I'd eat the butt off a low-flying duck!...

Clothing wise I wear a size: I probably shouldn't tell this!... May end up dressed as a Christmas Pudding!... I'm a smallish dog... I weigh eleven kilos...

I collect: Adoring Humans, Squeaky Toys... LOVE fabric toys... Vinyl ones, meh!... Like blingy collars (the women LOVE them), and I get lots of attention from my favourite kind of human... Blonde women... Yes, despite being neutered, I'm still a man!... :rofl; ... I wear a harness for Walkies... Don't want to slip my collar and get into difficulty... So my lead (I LOVE extending leads!) attatched to my harness!...

My favourite genre of book and/or film is: 'How to train your human in five easy steps!'....

I'm allergic to:  Nothing, and I don't really care if you are... So what if there's dog hair on the couch???... It's not called 'Fur'niture for nothing, you know!...

I'm not ungrateful but if I were to receive this/these I would probably cry: A person who don't like dogs!...



Now me...


1.) What is your favorite dessert?...Ice cream, Cookies, Cheesecake... (LOTS of cheesecake and fruit!!!!!).... I LOVE Strawberry licquorice, Aniseed flavoured anything... Strong mints, in fact strong flavoured ANYTHING!....

2.) What are some of your favorite hobbies?... Volunteering, Reading, (LOVE True Crime, and humour!), Listening to music, particularly Ronan Tynan, Love Star Trek, and Star Trek, The next Generation (Oh I fancy Jean-Luc Picard... I'd stir HIS Earl Grey, anytime!), and I absolutely love the first trilogy of Star Wars films... LOVE Darthvadar... He's not a bad lad, really... Just got into bad company!... Well, if his mother's Irish, that's what she'll say anyway!!!... Am a bit of a TV fan... Favourite shows, Mythbusters, Deadliest Catch, and news programmes... Guilty pleasure????.... I'm a Judge Judy fan... Oh the shame of it!!!....  Am into Community Development, so am on a lot of local representative bodies,  Policing, Public Transport, Disability Interest, Carers support, etc...

3.) What colors do you like?... Like green, yellow, purple, blue... I HATE pink with a passion!!!!!!.... YUCK!!!!... Mum used to dress me like a flipping Christmas Tree in pink when I was a kid... Pink shoes, and hair ribbons the size of a small house... Remember the bows Shirley Temple had???... You get the picture!... Honestly, she should have just thrown the set of Fairy Lights onto me, plugged me in, and had done with it!!!....  Now I won't even wear pink foundation garments... Nightmare... Pink is Satan's own creation!!.... Traumatised???... You bet I am!...

4.) What is your favourite candy?...  Any strong flavours, fruit, clove, aniseed, mint, liquorice, etc.... LOVE chocolate, but having a nut allergy, there aren't many types of chocolate I can eat (Check the pack for allergy advice!)... Marshmallows...

5.) Do you collect anything?... Elephants... Particularly ornaments, but just about everything elephant.. If it has tusks and a trunk, I love it... Wrinkles, Cardiologists, Respiratory Specialists, Orthopaedic Surgeons, etc... Get the picture???... If I was a horse, they'd shoot me!....  :rofl;

6.) What is your style?... Conservative, but love sparkly brooches and pins...

7.) Allergic to anything?... NUTS!!!... Severe allergy... There are about twenty Anapen, Jext, Epipen (adreneline) injections dotted around the house!...

8.) If t-shirt or sweatshirt is ok - give size:... Extra Large, please... Love my comfort!... I would also love IHD stuff!....

9.) Would you like a local item from your SS's home town?... Yes please (Particularly if that 'item' is male, tall, dark, handsome, rich, available, with one foot in the grave, and the other one on a bar of soap!)... ... No???.. Oh well, no harm in trying, and a girl can dream!... If I'm on  the shelf for much longer, besides needing a Dust Sheet, my butt will have woodworm!!.... Bring it on!....

10.) Anything else your SS should know?... Powered Wheelchair user, Former carer to my darling mum... Missing her even more writing this!... Love nice smelly stuff... Wary of candles (scared of fire!)... Picture frames are nice, too... Like Christmas ornaments... Owner to the little hooligan, otherwise known as a little dog called Dougal... Great little chap (Much as I hate to admit it!)... Write a lot of letters, so nice pens are popular... Dreadful memory due to high doses of steroids, so diaries and calendars are great... Like mirrors too... In fact, I know I'll love anything given with a loving heart (apart from nuts, that is)... I'll take a gift of a Snickers bar as a murder attempt!... Mum would  have taken it as assistance and would probably have shared the Life Assurance payout!....   

Oooooh Boy... We're getting SO excited about this already!!!!!...

Love to all...

'Dougal' and Darth...

Many thanks for mentioning "it"... I wanted to mention "it", but couldn't bring myself to say anything 
because it is too devastating for words  ...  What shook us (my husband and me) very much, is,
that there are people who could attack Paris which is universally known as the destination
for newlymarried couples on their honeymoon... ?

Mine was supposed to go out today, but I'm not sure if it did.  My mom is handling it.  She said she was kind of swamped at work today, so it might not go out till Monday.

Both my FB and This fourums's Secret Santa's are on their way from Amazon, just to confuse the recipients.

I am tapping presents every time I walk into my library area, I put them away from me, so I will not think about opening them.
I am going to Oklahoma on December 14-the 28th, so am opening mine when I get back, so my thank yous are going to be late this year.

I have one package for me from Illinois.
Victor has something from some place in Newfoundland.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AMANDA!

Thank you so much for the wonderful gifts...just what I wanted! I feel so spoiled! You tricked me by sending it Amazon, so I opened it early wondering what the heck I had ordered! How pleasantly I was surprised! We are going to play Pictionary today, with my nephews and my sister, her husband, and my mom. I  can't wait!

Hoping the Holidays brings you everything you've wished for!

Good happiness and health to you on this wonderful day,

All my best,

Casper,
Thank you so much. I wish I could take a pic with my phone, but it is an antique, so, I got a book which I am dying to read, but it has to wait another day or 4 since I am still up to my knees in messes here and the most beautiful sailing ship. One of the sails has " Footprints" written on it. It is so awesome, I was doing the jumping up and screaming thing. ( At my age, that is not a good idea) I absolutely love it. Absolutely!!!! You could not have chosen a better gift for me. Now I have to keep my desk clean.
Love
Jean

Everything in that box came from the shop that my mom works at, even the card, I believe.. Mom works on the street in the picture... the apron was made by a local artisan.. most of what's sold in the shop is from the Maritimes at least..

My secret Santa was Willowtreewren.  Unfortunately, most of the goodies were not renal friendly, but I ate the chocolate before Mom could take it from me. *L*  I'm intrigued by the cake made with moonshine, though.. I haven't taken it out of the package yet..

Thank you, Aleta.. it's always interesting to see what's in the box.. even my grandmother was interested in it..  I was a little bleary-eyed opening gifts this year.. my grandmother decided it was time to start opening presents before I got out of bed.. I heard Mom say, "you're opening presents now, are you?" so I figured I'd better get up.. *L*

I know how hard it is to find renal friendly things! The Moonshine cake is a sinful splurge, though! Even if you only have a bite or two, I'm sure you will enjoy it!  :wine;
