And thanks TheLoadedDog!! I missed your reply in the other couch thread, so I’ve been waiting all this time wondering if I was ever going to get anything. It was worth the wait.
First a preamble… I came home from work to find the package outside on the porch, poor pitiful thing. My daughter was afraid to bring it in, and this is the girl who opens everything. “Mom, it may be anthrax! Look at the childlike writing on it!” [sub]HeHe sorry TLD :D[/sub] I assured her it was alright, that it was my Doper Pale Pachy[sup]TM[/sup]. She wasn’t very convinced, but watched as I opened it. BTW, ever since I opened it, and subsequently showed her the other WE threads, she says we’re all on crack and need to get a life.
And now in my possession:
- A new mouse pad, badly needed.
- Three books: Aboriginal Myths, The life and times of Rasputin, and The Australian Bar Attendant’s Handbook.
[sub]And now a word from my daughter…[/sub]
Thanks for the bar attendant’s book…it will help me out some. BTW…there may be some lunies involved in this WE exchange so watch out for yourselves…bye
[sub]dob again…I’m telling ya, she did freak out a bit, heh…[/sub] - Three CD’s: Midnight Oil (aboriginal music?), Ray Charles Wish you were here tonight, and The Glory of Gershwin.
- A small black rubber ball with faded writing.
- Three plastic toys: a yellow tennis-playing porcupine (my favorite), a black and yellow action figure on a skateboard, and a green dinosaur.
- A wooden handheld roller ball massage thingie, immediately tested.
- And coolest of all - Australian coins!! Really neat!
A cool haul, if I do say so myself. And all the way here from Australia. In an Australian beer box at that. Gosh, the postage. I’ll be taking the first two books to work to read on break, and look forward to listening to the CD’s. Mouse pad already in use. The toys will probably be claimed by my nephews on their next trip here, but only after I tell them where they come from.
Thanks again, TheLoadedDog.
Here’s hoping others can get off that (fattening:)) couch soon.
