Oh, you want to be absolved? That requires a sacrifice of chocolate or Scotch. ---

> [@Lynn\_Bodoni](#): > > Oh, you want to be absolved? That requires a sacrifice of chocolate or Scotch. Geez, inflation. Three Hail Maryā€™s used to do the trick. You are going to have to PM with a shipping address and a some brand recommendations. Nothing is easy these days. Canā€™t promise I can get it done before Christmas. And now we have Colibri wanting Glenfiddich. When I lived in Chicago there was a saying, ā€œif you pay to get on the bus you donā€™t have to pay to get off.ā€ I guess thatā€™s no longer true. Where do I sent it? ---

Lynn, Colibri, Christmas is getting close. Shipping is getting tight. I need some specific info. Colibri, the Glenfiddich is sitting here waiting for shipping instructions. Donā€™t make me drink it. I wouldnā€™t want to send you an empty bottle. Lynn, you have to send a specific request and shipping instructions. Again, I canā€™t let chocolate or scotch sit around. I donā€™t want to send empty containers. Itā€™s a week before Christmas, I need absolution. Iā€™m in a panic. ---

Amazon has gift certificates available, and so does Godiva. I donā€™t know of any online liquor stores that have gift certificates. If you truly are repentant, then eat a pound of bad fruitcake, and that will probably make you sorry enough. And itā€™s very easy to find bad fruitcake, unfortunately. ---

Lynn, Warnings are one thing. Asking someone to commit suicide is going over the line. Is that allowed on this board? ---
