Veery happy you liked it. I mean, I was almost sure about that (did some easy research...), what I wasn't sure was the fact that you possibly could already have it. Well, have fun!

I know who got me mine, but I don't know how to use the damn spoiler button. Help, please?

st.cronin · 12-19-2007, 08:19 PM

simply type spoiler bracketed by these things: []. At the end of your post make it /spoiler.

JPhillips · 12-19-2007, 08:43 PM

Thank you. I'd love a spoiler wrap button, btw.

It takes a little getting used to but it's a blast with the family (mostly just the wife and I as the kids are still a little young to get the knack but they enjoy knocking the stack down

).

I shipped alot of crap in the last 3 weeks from Ebay. Priority has been taking about 4-5 days and parcels have been taking about 10-12 days. International is all over the place.

That would be me. I hope you like it.

It was a toss up between steaks or the booze. I wanted to go with something different. I know not everyon'e a drinker, but considering your name, I went out on a limb.

Doh! That's actually excellent thinking. Except that I don't drink beer

. However, I really do like this gift and am going to share with a couple of my friends and then keep the bottles since they're pretty neat.

st.cronin · 12-20-2007, 06:17 PM

Farrah can you pm me your source, that sounds like something I'd like to get for some people someday.

Definitely recommend it for those who like beer. It's from beeronthewall.com

JeeberD · 12-20-2007, 09:00 PM

I received a package today, and I can only assume that it's Render's gift. It's a miniature figurine of a knight riding a griffon, and if you really did the paintwork on it, Ren, excellent job! Very, very detailed and it looks very nice. Now I just have to find a place to display it where the cats can't get to it...

JPhillips · 12-20-2007, 09:06 PM

Mustang: Yep. I thought you'd like it. We need a picture standing next to your neighbor's house.

Would have put money down that Ren had my name.

Indeed! Its a metal model kit from Games Workshop. I had to build it first, which is what delayed me a bit. The parts didn't mesh well at first so I did some epoxy work to smooth out some creases.

It should be quite solid, just being tipped over shouldn't damage it. I finished it off with multiple coats of clear sealer so the paint should be safe! Though if it falls from a height it'll probably be so much metal mash =)

I do apologize for not labeling it, I was worried about etting it out in time and I forgot to put my name on it!!

Merry Xmas Jeeber!

Dammit! I should have known....always choose steak. Of course with my luck, you'd then end up being a vegan.

I'm glad you like it anyway. Merry Christmas.

Just call it a major award.

Leonidas · 12-24-2007, 04:34 PM

I've had a long line of bad presents, and amazingly they have either come from my mother-in-law or my own mother. For years my own mother sent me the same scented soap on a rope (which I never used) and a Swiss Army pocket knife (which I did use). Then after I got married my mother-in-law really got weird. We received a box loaded with a pad of green felt and a strand of copper wire. For the longest time we were at a total loss on what this was or meant. Eventually we just asked her and supposedly this was a kit for working jigsaw puzzles. And this year my own mother has failed to send us (my two young sons included) so much as a card. Yay Mom!

Farrah Whitworth-Rahn · 12-24-2007, 06:44 PM

Just received my gift. It's a total chick gift, so of course it's perfect.

My Secret Santa gave me a Bare Minerals starter kit. That's make up for all you single guys. I use the stuff and I love it. The skin tone is perfect - I am a redhead after all. Thank you so much!

Oh, and I think my Secret Santa is Dennis - the package came from Utah. Thanks Dennis!

No worries Farrah, I didn't know if you used BE at all, or had any interest..took a shot in the dark...

That BE stuff ROCKS! I love the glow stuff - looks really dark in the container but makes an awesome blush

Turning the thread back over to the guys now...for their beer and football discussion

Coffee Warlord · 12-27-2007, 11:29 AM

Got mine today, and died laughing.

A set of custom coasters "Coffee Warlord's Java House". With the tagline, 'May you be mounted by a diseased yak'.

Someone knows me too well.

Farrah Whitworth-Rahn · 12-27-2007, 12:28 PM

Awesome CW! That sounds like a Jeeber gift.

Damn, I never even got an e-mail saying that they were shipped. At least they made it, and earlier than I was expecting. And I'm very glad that you like them. Hopefully the fiancee doesn't relegate them to some dark, dusty corner once y'all get hitched.

spleen1015 Coordinator Join Date: Sep 2003	Spoiler I received Friday Night Lights Season 1 on DVD and I am pretty sure it was from Coffee Warlord. This was a great gift. I was surprised. I watched 2 episodes the other night waiting on some work to complete. Sadly, Amazon left the purchaser's information on the invoice and he is the only person I have seen in the gift exchange from Chicago.

EagleFan Hall Of Famer Join Date: Nov 2000 Location: Mays Landing, NJ USA	spoiler Spoiler I received Jenga for the Wii. It's a cool gift as the whole family gets to enjoy it. Thank you to the secret Santa but I still am unsure of who it was. That makes me think it was spleen as he mentions something for the family in one of his posts. I first thought Jeeber as it was from Texas but if it was ordered online it wouldn't really matter where it was from.
