Yes, but think of all the wonders that that box might contain when it reaches you!

Sorry!  I can't post it myself; I have to wait 'til my husband is home to take it to the post office on Monday.  But it gives me time to really consider my choice(s) while we wait (good for me, meaningless to everybody else).

So, how did you and your wife meet?  :)  Was it in the US, the DR, or UK?  (What is your connection to the US?)

Also, I agree with larrabee... keep up with the Spanish with your child.  Being bilingual is so useful!
Aaah i meet my wife in wedsite i dont know if it still exist the name of the website was sexyornot, she hates when i tell the story but its funny, all started one day when i lost a bet with my mates which i didn't want to pay lol, so they tuck a picture of me on my boxers and put the bloody picture in that websites, i was a skinny little thing at that time with more bones and skin than anything else lol, so the good thing was i had a good ranking and after a couple of days my wife like my picture she always liked guys from my city... so one day i said hello we start talking we become friends, talk for over a year than she went to DR we meet we really liked each other, start a relationship break up after a month came back together after 6, since then we have being together, that's the quick story, and with relation to my american visa my is dominican but was born in ee.uu so that's how i got my visa.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!  The box... it is moving...!  Rick, be prepared.  I took two items, and put in two items.  The things I put in were bigger than the things I took out, and the box, as KF can attest, was already bursting at the seams.  Thus, Rick, you will be receiving two parcels.  It is up to you to pare down the contents and recombine them into a single box again.  Good luck and godspeed.

In the meantime, this is what I selected from the box (back when it was just one box!):



You guys may be confused now... scratching your heads... counting items... counting them again.  Yes, there are three things in the photo, but I only took two.  How can this be?  Is it some trick?  Am I a wizard?!

No!  You see the Playdoh was not "part of the parcel".  It was for me.  Because sparklies!!  Thanks, KF.  I love my sparklies!

There was another sparkly thing in the box, but... well... if anybody has seen my wistful complaints in other threads about the abundance of OTC naproxen in the US and the complete lack here, you would understand how happy I was to find the drugs.  I wanted other things, but I needed the drugs.  My torsioning ribs demand it.  The generic Benadryl isn't for my ribs... I just saw that and kind of needed it, too.  Just in case.  I'm boring.  But I'm not going to care about my rib pain while doing the washing up for at least the next 75 weeks!  Yay!

I knew someone would need the Naproxen and I still have a whole bottle here plus 500 ct ibuprofen, 500ct diphenhydramine and various other OTC meds. Lmfao

I suspected these were your contributions!  Next time my ribs are acting up, you will be in my thoughts.

Larrabee, I strongly suspect I know which item you put in, and if I'm right, I really really wanted it.  And now I realize I could've justified taking it...

I spent part of Friday in the workshop making a thing, but I wasn't able to fully test it, and my husband loved the concept but without testing to see that it worked as designed, he thought I shouldn't include it in the box.  So I didn't have the third item that I'd hoped to include in the end, so I wasn't able to take the other item that I was pondering.  But today I finally was able to test the thing I made (by diluting some acrylic paint to serve a "ink")...  This is what you guys didn't get:





I'm sorry if I let you guys down.  But now that I know it works, I can take this concept and run with it!  (I mean, it had to work... I had things similar to this as a child... just made of plastic, rather than wood.)

When you run with it, are you gonna leave little tiny pink footprints?

Of course!  I might even get sparkly ink...

It's ok, I completely understand the need for naproxen!  ;D

..Really hoping someone else likes my things too!

Aww, yay!  I can't wait to tell my husband he was wrong!  :P
 
I mean, technically, he wasn't wrong, as this one was just a prototype and somewhat poorly executed, so it shouldn't have gone in the box.  But I still thought it would be appreciated for what it was, especially if I included a note saying it was a trial, and not meant to be a finished product.

The kitty stamp is wonderful! I definitely would have grabbed that out of the boxes!

I just looked her up, and she was last active on November 17.  Looking at her posts, I don't think she said anything about going on holiday. Maybe she's just distracted with Thanksgiving/holidays?

It'll probably take a couple of days for the parcels to get up to you from way down here.  Hopefully, she'll turn up before you're ready to ship it on again.  We can worry about what to do if we don't hear from her in time when/if that happens.
