**Omega Glory**. . . I don’t wanna be Ebenezer Scrooge, but in the future, please clear it with the staff before starting a thread of this nature. Also, since this is now underway, please start a new thread . . . I’m gonna close this one. Mention in your OP that you were given staff approval. **Cajun Man** for the SDMB ---

Whoo-Hooo! Secret Santa! I LUURRRVVVEEE Secret Santa. I’m in, I’m in, I’m in. I don’t care what you get me. Last year, I got a lovely wooden cup–it sits on my desk at work and holds candies which my co-workers eat (the candies, not the cup). I’m easy to buy for. ---

I came in lately… signed up while the [other thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=6866970#post6866970) was active. Should I copy my wish list here? Can we have an once-and-for-all updated list on this side? ---

For whomever gets me, please ignore the sophmoric hint at the Elizabeth Zimmerman book. I already bought it for myself, cause I love me. Not cause I thought you would buy it for me… A mix of favorite Xmas music or just walkin’ around music would be cool, too. When do we get our emails???////111111/1111!!! **Picunurse** I owe you a big thanks for the package you sent me already! I love the jam! ---

I posted my preferences in the other thread, guess I should do so here too, just in case. Basically, anything weird. Doesn’t matter what. I’ve got several bookshelves full of weird stuff, including half of a dried fish head. So basically, send it along, you won’t freak me out. ---

Oh my, I totally forgot to post a wishlist. If my shopper hasn’t gotten my gift yet, I just wanted to give a few ideas: - cat toys with catnip for my 3 babies (they can share) - any food item as long as it’s not sweet (i.e, no sugar) - but dark chocolate is more than ok 😃 - any small knick-knacky thing that you think a geeky girl would like ---
