Let's see.. my bag this time contains: baby gifts for my best mate who's due any second, mustard, beef jerkey, chai from Trader Joe's and onion dip for my SO, shampoo, cookies from Trader Joe's, and some new clothes.  I should've brought a second bag home this time but didn't think I'd need it.  I do!

Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its doors as early in the spring. Cultivate property like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old; return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts…

A British friend here in Yorkshire asked me to bring back packs of Philly Titan cigars.  I didn't know *anything* about cigars so I found out (after going to a couple cigar bars) that these are really cheap (low-end) cigars --

Generally speaking, one doesn't smoke a Philly "as is".  It's disassembled and then stuffed with something more "uplifting" than tobacco.  So you made them VERY happy!

Fascinating!! But why does it have to be a Philly? Is there something special about them that makes restuffing work better? Or is it just that they're so cheap to buy in the first place?

I found a tote bag in my closet at my mom's and filled it.  *Someone* has no reason to complain now.  He was not happy with the idea that his precious goodies might be left behind in CA!  Heh

The adulterated cigar is most often termed a "blunt", and is heavily rooted in hip hop culture.  Blunts are often made with flavored cigars like Swisher Sweets and Dutchmaster Vanilla, but they can also be made with unflavored cigars or simply rolling papers.  Phillies are a really popular brand for blunts, so there is probably a hip hop reference I don't know about. 

p.s. I don't smoke.

Do you want some slightly expired Taco Bell packets?  My mother bought - I kid you not - an entire box from Taco Bell for my son.  A box contains over 2000 packets.  We still have about 2 large (ziploc!) bags full of them...  ::)
Yes, I know all about the boxes, I worked at Taco Bell!!!! And yes, I would be interested, really, do they EVER expire???
