I got two packages!   My kids are already asking me if they can open them.  We've got a baby sitter tonight so they are out of luck!
And...

Last night we had the official opening ceremony, each kid got one box. 

The item we chose was this :


And I have to give a MASSIVE thanks to NcTami for including this for me:


She's the greatest!  She even packed it in 4 bags since it was inevitably going to leak.  I'm thinking hard about what I can send you back.

Man, you guys are a bunch of hypochondriacs!

The box should go out again this weekend.

Yeah. Glad you liked the grits. Ordered them special just for you.

And the hypochondriac is just me. Lol

Yes, I will. I'm literally trying to figure it out right now! I just got a new little card thing so that I can practice with it and not risk loosing my other pictures!  :)

Yay!  But practice lots.  Don't lose your other photos over this.  We're not that important!  If you can't get it to work, you can always express to us what your items were through the medium of interpretive dance.  That has worked for other things in the past.  :)

Yes, I'm very good at that although admittedly my repertoire is somewhat limited...

That's funny you should say that, the box has evolved to express the ethos of this forum through the medium of small objects.  It's uncanny. 

I really like historyenne's idea of something regional.

If only the Scouse 'pome' was by Jegsy Dodds!

I should probably join this, as I've got something in the house that I think someone would really want...

If it's beer, you should probably just send it directly to Jimbocz!  ;D

Way to go Tami!  I can picture Jimbo shedding a tear when he opened the box.

Jimbo, I would like a very fluffy black cat.  Preferably a male (usually cuddlier).  Or an orange striped cat.  Or any cat.

Randomly a 10kg bag of dog food was delivered today.  Should I put that in the box?   ;D

Please don't!  I'm immediately after you, I don't own a dog, and I let the weight of the items make my final decision for what I picked my first go-round (I took out the heaviest thing so I wouldn't have to pay as much to ship it... Yes, I'm cheap.   ::) )  I don't know what I'd do with 10kg of dog food!
