hey there say, mouse.... wow...wow...wow... and oh my, wow!...
the gifts are all there... oh my and wow...
you know what... this is good diversion to keep my mind busy, while i wait for my mom again, to call, about my dad :(
good to stay busy... then pray... then stay busy, etc.. etc...
WOW, MOUSE AND YOU GUYS!!!! I WAS NOT SURE IF WE WOULD SEE THIS PILE
OF STUFF, OH MY!!!!!...
IT IS TWICE as special now... (like when the prodigal son came home to his daddy) ;)
the wandering mice, have come home!
say, um, i think that ONE mouse, is laying on his back, perhaps THAT
is why his fur is riled up... (like cats, they make like strokes the wrong way) ;)
wow, so, since we skipped yesterday, you can either stick with 5,
or go with 5 and 6, but NO MORE! HEE HEE, until tomorrow then, :)
say, this get you up to new year, i wonder--yeah, but you will
go until the FOURTH day, or so?
WOW, say, is there any fruitcake left to view?
or is my download not working, :)
do you write 'taste-test-reviews' ;)

hey there say, mouse...
here is how it went...
i was praying one eve, while, looking in the mirror, and thinking of my
twin buddies and how i missed them...
then, i was thinking of other buddies and how they all appreciate each other, and well, i thought about you, and the flames, since i
see YOUR BUDDY COMMARADIER EVERY EVE...
AND IT JUST CAME TO ME:
on the 12 days of christmas, the song... not sure why...
so then, i got the idea...
mouse misses HIS BUDDIES, TOO, as they are all around...
(those on the flames...)...
so i picked 12 of them and email them...
told them i HAD A LIST OF THINGS... AND IF THEY COULD,
(LIKE IF they were all here, etc)
what WOULD THEY PICK??? on that list, to send to you
(as if they BOUGHT IT)
did it this way, as it was cheaper on the pocket book for
them, easy to shop, like me BEING THEIR AMAZON.COM)
THEN, after they picked, i looked for these things that they
would like YOU TO HAVE, TO BE FROM THEM...
and then, i boxed them up for you...
now, barbarian, already HAPPENED TO HAVE a gift, so he mailed it here...
and fletcher had a neat idea, of what to BUY to put on his gift,
to you...
so these are as i was the AMAZON.COM STORE...
SO i am not that special, i am just the 'storefront'...
they were the BIG HEARTED GUYS that played along...
they sure could have brushed me off, as 'oh you silly gal'
(you know, these big tough climber flame-guys) ...
but no! oh no! there merced-mouse is a good buddy...
like my twin buddies, when i started thinking of all this...
just by looking in the mirror and thinkng
how christmas is the season for good buddy-ship!!!!
and there you go!
made the poem... :)

hey there say... and you know... this is the SUPER FUN!
THE LAST ITEM ON THE LIST WAS THIS:
homemade fruitcake...
so i just reckoned i'd bake it, as i planned on doing...
wouldn't quite have the 'spunk' in it, as i was running low,
by then...
well, out of the wild blue yonder, JUST IN TIME,
feralfae alighted on the 'bush of hope' and
said 'pick me!' and:
i let her know the last item left, was the fruitcake,
though, she PICKED IT ANYWAY, as--she had a friend that made the BEST FRUITCAKES...
so this is all feralfae here...
SHE LOVED doing this so much!! you see why i was soooo concerned,
as to the box?? and what happened...
she paid for that, and shipped it to me, too... :)
(even kept it hidden in her freezer, 'til time to send)...
every gift is TAILOR made, as best i could to the guys that
picked off the list...
:)
thus, the secret project post, at taco:
number 'whatever' IS NOW TAKEN, !
SEE?
THEY HAD TO PICK YOUR GIFT... :)
edit:
you know, the box, the gal said, later, was .5 overthe 32lbs. so
that must be why it was sent to FREIGHT and once there, the box
could not handle REAL freight bumping around it?
so they redid it all,etc.. .oh my :O

I made sure that Marina's family got some. Her daughter spit out the glace cherry. You either like or dislike glazed fruit, I think. It's sort of the same on the Taco. Some can't get it, some do. That extra .5 pounds was aluminum foil!

all for their ID...

well, checked my eamil... will get off line and hope and pray for my dad...
if i get a call for good, tonight, i will email you, too...
since you asked and will update the post on my daddy...
thank you for the fun!!
and remember, this was a joint effort... (NO not THAT kind) (or THAT kind)
but the one-body-group-joint effort,
or this never would have worked out...
i may have done the listin'
but THEY did the pickin'
:)
and, well, fletcher and iloilo

As my late honey sez:
"Everyday should be like Christmas."
Liz was one of the ladies in town with a House of Lloyd's Christmas Around the World franchise.
I'd like to say to THE BRAVE COWBOY, that your selection of the Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense is my current musical ideel. Thank you for posting that on the TH thread, it's making my day. Nothing could be this much fun. Heaven must be a place like this Taco Stand. With plush chairs and remote controls and bus-putti.
And drumming, good f-ing drumming!

People asked a while ago, shaking their heads in aghastness,
"What is this thread?"
It ain't no party, it ain't no disco, it ain't Mariposa, it's still a Burning Question in the mouse house.
Where now, zBrown cow?
Holstein? Guernsey? Jersey?[Click to View YouTube Video]Nothing like it in Middle Earth.
I'm going fishing instead.
A new set of Clue solutions for any clueless ones:
At Mike's with Marcel and his mom and his boy, on the dock, with a "priest."
Where the water's clean,
The trout are mean,
The the worms come clean,
Nawmean?
On the banks of the Old Merc,
With Wyoming in my back yard,
Life used to be so hard.
Now everything's easier
And I can run a yard in 6/10 of a mile
And that rhymes with smile.
Some won't get that, others will.
When they go to bed, they might be smiling still.
The thread too tough to die.

Whatever happens... don't let the thread runaway from Merced... it's giving a unique insight into a local American community.. and it's giving high value on the other side of the pond... keep up the good work...

I hear fish calling:

Whew!
So glad the BOX arrived.
Was that mouse in the Fruitcake?
And you wonder why I provided fruitcake armor? With mice running around in the same container? LOL
Neebs, I love the Foiled pun, just lovely. :)
Congratulations, Neebs! You did it!
Sorry about all the heavy metal.
No, not really. :) The whole project was super fun. That fruitcake is from Texas, where I have cousins in the business. :) They have lots of pecan trees. I am glad you like the fruitcake, and I have had a great deal of fun and entertainment, agony, expectancy, anticipation, frustration, and a few cruel words about the poor Post Office people who get it right more than most countries' postal service, and who are also more honest, which counts for a lot. They even included a letter of apology, which is really something you never see in most places. Probably in Canada, and a kinder, more polite letter, if possible.
Hurray! Happy New Year!
Another reason to celebrate! Great Job, neebee! You have amazing coordination skills for projects. A born artist and organizer. Thank you for all the fun and entertainment, and for letting me be a part of this project where I had
Entirely Too Much Fun.
Laughing Robustly,

Great to see all the goodies arriving and getting opened! Behind the scenes the shipping got a bit "interesting" but Neebee came up with a solution, somehow. Magic!

P.S. Mouse: no worries on the headlamp... I'm pleased it's getting used in fun environs! Take your time.
Open books... yeah, might know about them a tad! You'll be pleased to know I'm continuing with my Camalot divestment program. Just yesterday, I planted another easter egg as a post Xmas treat for some unsuspecting soul. Ha ha!

Ah, Fletcher! Good to hear your figurative voice--sorry to hear of the success of your program.
I, on the other hand, following the semi-debacle on Sunnyside, went to Degnan's and scarfed that sandwich (no cheese) on the table, got it home, and found it was vegetarian. Well, I put the cheddar to gooda use there.
This wheel of Gouda is the perfect midnight snack, the perfect late night dinner in front of the tube.
