I know what I want to get my person, but it's proving a little bit more diffcult than I first thought.  However, our cut off date here for Christmas post overseas isn't till 30th November - so I've got a it of time yet!

This thread is making me sad, sad, sad.  I signed up for SS, but when I was banned on Oct 10 for 30 days, Sluff said I couldn't participate this year.  :'(  :'(  And I enjoyed it so much last year.   :'(  :'(

God willing Petey, next year will be bigger and better... The SS will be all the poorer this year for the fact that you're not in!...

On the bright side, you could have had ME as your SS... That would have been a fate worse than death!...

Oh Petey, that makes me sad but then I wonder why would anyone want to keep it a secret anyway.  I wish you loads and loads of Christmas happiness and  I hope you learned your lesson about sticking up for the Underdogs.    :guitar:   :rofl;

Also, I'd like to see a post from the person I mailed too that they received their gift.  Hey, I'm walking a tightrope here anyway.  I got the notice from UPS it has been delivered several days ago, but not notice from t he individual.  It would just make me feel more secure.

I have no problem not opening mine.  Being single it will be nice to have another gift under the tree.  My kids always make me something that I truly do cherish.
