It's not like I have five brothers and sisters or in-laws* to buy for! One sister, one niece (who is spoiled lovingly), mom, dad, step-monsters, and a husband. *my in-laws refuse gifts so we send stuff like framed picutures of us and them and this isn't hard at all.

In my defense, I'm in the "it's a bit cheeky to write a wish list" group and didn't want to look like I was going overboard or asking for something terribly expensive! And, again may I repeat - whoever gets me this year sure has a tough act to follow, Lisa! Im sure they'll do great, but WOW on you actually MAKING that final gift that turned out to be something to hold antenna balls! INCREDIBLE, and I adore it!

Originally Posted By Labuda Oh, I know I just can't thank you enoughf or it, Lisa! It's obvious you put a lot of time into making it, and I think it's just ab out the best gift I've ever gotten! I commend you on being able to "make do" from my original, pre-expansion, one-item wishlist!
Originally Posted By pennyring >>But aren't Canadians American too? They live in North America, no?<< Exactly! Which is why I always said, "I'm from the U.S." Don't want to be exclusionary or worse (gasp), a "Stupid American" with such a limited world view that we believe we're the only ones in North America. But hey, if Canadians are cool with it, I don't feel like such a doofus. >>Oh, and I bought a lot of really cool stuff today for my SP today. I have no idea who he or she is, but I hope it's a she. If it's a he, he'd better look good in pink.<< LOL! Sounds like the things I was hoping to buy! So here's a warning... if you're a girl and you don't want foo-foo, you'd better specify no foo-foo, cuz I'm all over the foo!

The Inspector comes out of hiding and now it's a Heinz free-for-all as the Benny Hill theme starts playing whilst the LPers run after him, except when the Southern LPers (Texas to the Carolinas) are after him, in which the obligatory banjo music, as seen in Dukes of Hazzard and Smokey & The Bandit, is used instead. The other exceptions are if tiggerdis_ and the Nurmi clan are after him, a medley of Anne Murray and Bryan Adams songs are used, while German uber techno-pop is substituted for the EuroLPers.* Ahem. I'm actually glad people are talking about this year's Bash. Perhaps it will take everyone's minds off of DL's 51st Anniversary...
