HEY!!!  I want that care package . . . well . . . except for the candy and the snacks - unless you can figure out a way to send some Brothers Pizaa!   . . .and the coffee the t-shirt the artwork  . . . 

i would add some music.

anyone who wants to send me a care package,  :sing: can include music. 

oh wait!  i'm the MOM!  i'm supposed to SEND care packages not get them, right?
  how does that work ?

HEY!!  Since I met Amelia this week-end (actually, discovered I have known her all along) thought I'd ressurect this thread long enough to say how much fun she thought it was to get a gift.  I told her that we had discussed at length what to get her.  She said you made sure she had a couple of her favorite things and it really, really made her day!

How fun is that?  Giving is so much fun!!

hey . . . speaking of the West Coast . . . are you guys still in one piece or did you get blown all over kingdom come?  looks a little windy there according to the news tonight . .

um, yeah, windchimes can get a little dangerous sometimes .  . .

i saw a pic on the news of trees breaking in half. ohmy!  we get storms like that in summer, but not this time of the year. 

maybe we ought to send you a care package.  at times like this you need some good hot tea and a good book to read!

Actually, that is exactly what I'm doing today. I seem to have picked a particularly nasty sickness, and I can't even remember the last time my throat hurt this badly. So...I'm staying home and pouting, (and drinking hot tea--by the bucket-full).  ;)

Okay, I haven't seen any trees breaking in half around here. I think the wind hit harder on the other side of the mountains. And at least for today, it's completely still outside. Figure that one out!  :smirk2:

Newkris....I just now saw this.

She did send me a text message and talk to me online and thank me.

It is so fun to make someone's day. Giving is SOO much fun. I did try to include some of her favs like jolly ranchers, kettle chips, etc

That's why I'm looking forward to Christmas. I LOVE getting people gifts :)

Candy. The day goes a whole lot better with candy. Chocolate to be exact...from somewhere in New York.

Coffee (your discretion). If you think I'll like a certain coffee, I'd be willing to try anything. We love coffee here at Gateway.

Somekind of food...maybe snack food like Ho-Ho's or Twinkies.

A T-shirt. Maybe "I (heart) New York" or "Staten Island" or something like that.

A picture. Artwork is one of the things that I love. I have a few up in my dorm, but one from TRAV would be even better.


If you think of anything...ask me...but that's pretty much what would be in that box from Staten Island.

I'm sorry to resurrect this post, but this all sounds far too good to keep in NY.  I could supply my address...   :clap2:  Yay for mail!!

terp, i'll send you one if you send me one?

of course . . . we'll have to both wait until we go to NYC this summer.  until then, i think SOMEONE ought to have pity on us poor college students and send us a little care, right?

 :cry2:  We poor midwesterners are so deprived of culture...sniff, sniff.  For sure we'll need a little care.   :freaky2:

I'd send you a care package, SippinTea, if you asked.  We may be without culture  :nerd:, but our hearts are big like that.   :hypocrite:

Ooooh, you're good Kris!

With two small changes: 1) Add Ginger Peach tea to the top of the list, and 2) the Earl Grey must not have oil of bergamot in it.  :biglaugh:

(That's my picky side coming through.) LOL

I'm not planning on having any more birthdays. Twenty-six is a great age.  :)

Care packages are different than Birthday packages, anyway.  :-)  They're designed to show you care.  Unlike birthday presents, which are designed as strategic reminders of old age.  :-)

And SippinTea: If you wish to stop having birthdays, you must consider that there is only one alternative.   :o

SippinTea

That's fine with me. The sooner I'm outta here, the better.  :)

And I wake up hanging on Your every word
But for now my feet are planted here on earth
But I'm missing You... :sing:
