SDMB Secret Santa Gift Exchange 2018

PM sent :slight_smile:

I like music, cats, animals in general, miniature things, homemade things. (I like making things such as Christmas ornaments myself.) My favourite colour is blue, but I like things in any colour. I love milk chocolate without nuts, though sending food to me might be a little tricky as my tolerances towards various foods seems to be changing.

Oh, and I’m allergic to penicillin, so please don’t send me any. :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah, another one!

Oh and I’m allergic to penicillin too, so same here, don’t send any of that. :slight_smile:

Damn. *<**ThelmaLou *cancels order for 50-gal drum of penicillin>

Fingers crossed. :smiley:

Let me just throw my hat in that ring…

Oh good, thank you thank you. :slight_smile:

I love dark chocolate!

I’m a crazy (only slightly) cat lady - two Maine Coon kittens. I knit, crochet and melt glass (I make beads, hence the username).

<hijack> I am fascinated! Have you ever posted here about glass melting or bead making? I would dearly love to try this!
Do you sell your beads?

Sorry y’all. Carry on! </ hijack>

Is it time for another bump here?

No. :slight_smile:

Forgot to add XL in shirts, funky socks are always appreciated and I’m really looking forward to sending off some really cool stuff, especially since I have the 3-D printer now…

Bumping to keep alive and because zee deadline! She looms!

Up to 30! The plan is to make assignments tomorrow, but I have run into a problem with the board. I copy/paste addresses, and for some reason, I can’t copy anything from the SDMB, even from messages or within a post that I am typing.

There’s this thing happening with the board (not sure if it’s both skins) where you can drag your cursor over text to highlight/select it, but the highlighting doesn’t show up. HOWEVER if you hit “copy” or “cut” you will see that, in fact, your text *was *selected and you *can *perform your operations. And you can paste the invisibly selected text. IOW the copy-cut-paste function is still there, except that you can’t see the highlighting. At least that’s the way it’s been for me for the last few weeks. I’m not crazy about it, but I’ve kind of gotten used to it. Give it a whirl.

31st! PM sent.

Another like for chocolate, my favorite is dark chocolate.

Local themed or homemade would be cool to get. I already have ideas for what I’ll send from my hometown…

I love to read, science fiction is my favorite genre, followed by thrillers or murder mysteries.

Favorite color is purple, followed by teal.

What is it **ThelmaLou **said – “Mostly I just like prezzies…”

That is so weird. It works, though! Thanks!

I know. Totally weird. There might be something in ATMB about it.

It’s a bug with Chrome and Firefox, and the mobile skin (Sultantheme’s Responsive vB3-blue). Basically, one of the style sheets for the mobile skin has an entry in it for the highlight color, but then it never sets the highlight color to anything. What the browser should do is just ignore it since there is nothing set. Later versions of Chrome have a bug where they end up setting the highlight color to not be visible. Firefox apparently likes to “borrow” code changes from Chrome, and copied the bug into Firefox a short time later.

You can fix it by using the old Straight Dope theme (Straightdope v3.7.3). The drop-down menu to select the theme is on the lower left side of the page.

See the ATMB sticky here.

***Last call!

Last call!***

I just sent a PM! Hope I made it in time!!

It’s been quite a few years since I last participated, I got burned the last time. Thought I’d give it another try! I love hitting up the local Christmas markets to look for the perfect item!

As for me,
I love chocolate, especially the combo of salty and sweet.
I have pierced ears, I like small Celtic style jewelry.
Love dogs! I have a Black Lab/Shepherd mix. Pit bulls are awesome too.
Also like turtles and snakes.
Favorite colors are teal and purple.
Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings fan.
I like strange, offbeat and macabre things. Don’t worry about going too dark!
Thrillers, serial killer and horror novels are my jam.
Or a cool local item is always appreciated!

Not a tea person, and please no clothing, ornaments or religious items, thanks!!

:dubious:

Okay, I’m sorry about the hamsters. Poor little guys. I MEANT to punch holes in the box, but [in Steve Martin voice] “I FORGOT!”

Seriously, you probably don’t want to share, and I understand perfectly. But I’m positive I’m imagining something much worse than whatever really happened. Judging from your list of preferences, someone sent you a hand-knitted nativity scene filled with tea. That could also be worn as a hat.
