perfect. i left a game early this week with a tweaked ankle, so i stripped off my pads and sat there with an icepack admiring my Arsenal flipflops. The guys just laughed as I shuffled out the door in them.

lookout... you need to add "but he sent me a nag" to your user title ;)

Aliantha 01-11-2008 05:48 PM

anyone who goes into chat should know who knitts around this place. I'd lay money on it being the chatting knitter. ;)

busterb 01-11-2008 05:56 PM

We're missing, what, photos from one? Broad hint.

Cicero 01-11-2008 06:17 PM

Must be me. I'm waiting for this work computer to act right!! AAAAh!

Why is it saying that it wants XP service pack 2, when service pack 2 is already installed!!! This only happens after I hit the new hardware screen. Tell me no one has ever downloaded a photo on this old nasty comp. before......jeez..........

If anyone has ever had this issue let me know...I need help. :( (no not that kind of help)

richlevy 01-12-2008 02:40 PM

It's not just you Cicero. My Oklahoma recipient never posted a picture of my gift.

monster 01-12-2008 03:21 PM

That person was last on here Christmas Eve. I've sent an email. If it works.

monster 01-12-2008 03:22 PM

Clod, did you get yours yet?

on 12/17 your santa said: Alright, it's on its way. It'll probably be about 3 to 5.

I assumed days, but perhaps weeks was meant? months?

Clodfobble 01-12-2008 09:25 PM

Not yet. Was it sent by regular mail? I can ask our mailman if anything was recently misaddressed or sent back for some reason. Maybe it was ticking, or leaking white powder... :)

monster 01-13-2008 12:44 AM

Please do ask........

richlevy 01-13-2008 06:54 AM

When I addressed my gift to "Cellar Dweller" I was a little nervous about the Post Office delivering it, until I realized that they really don't make assumption from the name. I think the 'or current resident' on junk mail is intended more for the recipient than the post office.

Then I was nervous after reading about the snow and ice storms down in OK.

LabRat 01-14-2008 09:30 AM

OK.

Steve, did you like your mug? :D

SteveDallas 01-14-2008 09:50 AM

I did! Thank you very much.

Cicero 01-21-2008 07:02 PM

Ok...I'm still trying to finger out my comp. issue. I just spent 2 hours talking to everybody and if I accidently reinstall service pack 2 all the way I'm going to lose all the information on this computer ;( and that would be very bad baaad. Photos are coming....just really late. I have not forgotten!!!

I really want to show everyone my cock. (rooster) ;)

Last one!!!
The cock has a new home and happens to match my mugs!! (a very pleased rooster) It's a happy cock full of white yummy stuff!:D
Attachment 17231

All in all...it was well worth the wait...Whoever my secret santa is..it is a mean person..They packed that cock so full of the best chocolate in the world that I couldn't get the bag out and had to eat the bulk of the chocolate just to remove it!! Eating the chocolate became a task...Thankfully I had a lot of help with that particular task.

Yea...I really made out this year. :p I didn't like the cock theme at first...But it worked out pretty well. I didn't know there were so many things you could do with it!!!!

THANK YOU SECRET SANTA!!
xoxoxoxox and phone number please, or just send more chocolate...

Yea, the condition of my car changes....Sometimes it's clean and sometimes it's dirty. That was exactly the point of this whole fucking thread and thank you for summarizing it with such eloquence and grace.

DucksNuts 03-19-2008 04:19 AM

Jesus - over react much?

Bring on Spring - everyone is getting so _____ lately!

monster 03-19-2008 11:16 AM

My car's messier and my house.... :lol: no-one ever believes it until they see it. And you lot ain't seeing it. :p

Clodfobble 03-19-2008 01:17 PM

We saw part of it in the Christmas tree thread, didn't we monster?

glatt 03-19-2008 02:59 PM

I remember a MIL with a banana...

monster 03-19-2008 03:30 PM

Oh yes. But that was a tidy version (even though it was still trashed)

Cicero 03-19-2008 04:17 PM

Sorry clodder. That was a comment that just came at the wrong time.

My house is usually clean and my car is usually dirty. It took me a long time to learn to keep a clean house. Let's not push it.......Baby steps here....
:)

Clodfobble 03-19-2008 04:49 PM

Wasn't me, it was Ducks. :)

Cicero 03-19-2008 05:02 PM

See? I don't even know who I offend anymore. :)
Well, there's a free-be for you clod.

*clears throat* Heh I apologize ducks....I don't know why I was thinking clod...

DucksNuts 03-19-2008 05:47 PM

Now see, I could of said....

Its my fucking thread I will say what I like in it.

Its all cool, Cic. I dont mind the occasional outburst and shit sling :)

LabRat 03-20-2008 09:36 AM

My cock is sitting on a shelf over my desk/work area.

A few weeks ago one of my bosses happened to look up and asked what the rooster was all about. I blushed and said, "Um, inside joke, nevermind"

Heh.

Sundae 03-20-2008 12:34 PM

I am currently using my exfoliating soap - rubbing it away day by day...
It will soon be gone, sadly.

But my snowman will come out every year when I put up my tree :)

Heh.

It must be huge. It takes everything I have just to keep mine in my sock.

Cicero 03-22-2008 07:21 PM

Hey SS The photos are up!! Back here. Plus the photo of my messy car.

Thanks lady ya just won my heart! But where's the ones for engraving on rice grains? Then it'll be complete. Thanks to all who had a hand it this. Come on folks we need to close this out and get ready for next year, with a new theme. LJ the cock are over.

lumberjim 12-04-2008 10:12 PM

A package addressed to lumberjim has arrived.

busterb 12-04-2008 11:23 PM

Yeah, in last years thread

Aliantha 12-05-2008 01:16 AM

Well that's not surprising really. He's a year behind in sending out his gifts.

Cicero 01-21-2009 03:15 PM

My SS was a bitch to me. I am declining next year. Believe it. Seriously.....SS's shouldn't have lab send me secret bitch pm's. That's so over.

The fact that we should just get along is over too. You have outdone yourself this time.

I don't need Santa to talk about my personal life as if I'm screwed and send secret pm's through lab. You are no Santa Lady....

Remember: It's the thought that counts, and remember how thoughtless you were.

That really irritates me.

My SS gave me a kick in the kisser. I'm over it...but what you did is not in the spirit of giving.

Cicero 01-21-2009 03:28 PM

Bump...I want you to see this............

Aliantha 01-21-2009 03:43 PM

I assume your message is for me.

What's the problem? I sent PM's through LR because it's supposed to be a secret. I don't recall saying anything personal about you other than that you had lots of things on your plate at the time SS's were being recieved so it might not have been a priority for you or something like that and I also suggested that LR should inform you that your SS was international because the postage is a lot higher so I wanted to be sure to get it to you properly the second time around.

Sorry if that upsets you, but I was just trying to get your gift to you.

There was never any bitchy intent at all other than the fact that I was frustrated when the gift was returned as not deliverable.

Aliantha 01-21-2009 03:59 PM

FW: Returned gift

Can you please ask her to sort out the correct address so that I am ensured of not wasting another $25?

Thanks,

Trish.

PS. Maybe she needs to be told that her SS is from overseas.

I sent her a PM letting her know that her gift from an overseas SS was returned undeliverable. I will likely be off the Cellar for a few days while I am out of town, we can sort this out then.

Have a great Christmas, talk to you in a few!

Leah

Then:

Hey Cic,

Just wanted to forward on the message I got this morning in my inbox.

I'm really not sure what to do at this point, I don't want your SS to spend more $$ on shipping, but I don't want you to be left out either... Ack.

I am likely going to be off the Celler for a few days becasue I will be out of town starting this afternoon. We can sort this out then.

Hope you and your 'puppy', (who's not so puppy sized anymore!!) have a good Christmas !

Say hi to val for me

Leah

After a bit of research I have found out what my mail issues are, and they can send it back, cash on delivery.



It isn't that I "don't care". I had trouble receiving anything at all at the old addresses. The new address:

Address removed

I received something there just fine the other day. I gave them the addresses I had and if 2 addresses don't work, that's postal.

Of course they don't have to send it. It is the thought that counts after all!

I hope you and yours had a Merry Christmas!!
Marta (Cicero)


I will leave the decision up to you, Ali. Let me or Cic know though.

Hope you new year's was good

Leah

Then:

G'day Leah,

I'll send it again tomorrow or if not, very early next week. I should be going somewhere near a PO tomorrow though. I'd like to get it to Cic as soon as possible. Let her know not to worry about a COD delivery. I'm happy to send it again as long as it's going to get there. It'll probably take a couple of weeks to arrive though at this stage I'd say...possibly a little longer.

Cheers,

Trish.


I will let her know asap. Thank you for trying again, hopefully there won't be any problems this time!

Leah

So that's it. If there's a problem with how I've communicated then so be it. I thought I'd done everything I could to make sure you got your gift.

I'm sorry if I didn't try hard enough or did something to upset you. My intention was only ever to get your gift to you.

Also, sorry to LR for posting the contents of PM's here, but I'm sick of he said she said type arguments and I'm not going through any more of that shit.

Cicero 01-21-2009 04:06 PM

Oh.......that. When I was told I was unconcerned?
Ali..........I am f'ing shaking my head.

I will receive gifts cash on delivery. I talked with a postal service employee about it...Next time do not spend a dime on me. Srsly...

"I'm a bit unhappy about it to be honest. She didn't seem like she really cared about whether she received it or not and I can understand that she's got other stuff on her mind atm. My issue is with the expense of postage."



Oh and, seek approval before you reveal pm's next time.....

Aliantha 01-21-2009 04:13 PM

Whatever Cicero.

If you don't think it's fair that I was a little bit annoyed at the gift being returned after double checking what address to use in the first instance then fine. I was given two addresses initially for you, and I asked LR to check which one I should send it to. I followed those instructions even though I had a feeling something would go wrong, so imagine my surprise when a month later, the gift I'd sent you was returned. lol Oh sorry, imagine my lack of surprise.

What a joke this is. You're not the only one who'll be opting out of SS next year.

Cicero 01-21-2009 04:51 PM

Actually. I won't be. Usually people are really good about it.

I enjoy giving little heart's desires............

I have changed my mind.

I'm a good Santa.........My recipients always say that. ;)

I do my research.

I am taking this discussion out of this thread. I said what I had to say........I will say whatever else I have to say elsewhere.

I'm glad everyone else enjoyed their gifts!! I hope everyone's New Year is also working out, and I am sorry for screwing around in this thread. I just had to send someone a message and I am done.

Sorry guys.

Happy 2009! :)

Aliantha 01-21-2009 07:25 PM

OK, off you go. :)

I hope you enjoy your gift when it finally arrives.

Cicero 01-21-2009 07:42 PM

Me too! ;)

richlevy 01-21-2009 08:25 PM

I never did get mine. Someone posted as anonymous and said they were having trouble affording it. I told them if things were that tight to not send me a gift. I'm assuming that they did not.

lumberjim 01-21-2009 08:33 PM

so then you posted this to make them feel shitty?

that's a dick move on your part, in my opinion.
