Wish List
 

Ok.. I know we started a thread with our collections but what if we do have a christmas exchange or want to get someone something for their birthday or another occasion. I have no idea what you guys like.. so can we make a list of maybe three things each person likes.. just to have?

My 3 favorites:

1. Gel pens (I LOVE pens!!)
2. Candles (Also love candles but not as much as pens!)
3. Organizers (I really couldn't think of a third thing.. *sigh* so I just picked that one)

Maybe some people will have the same thing on their wish list that they do on their collectables or maybe they are just collected-out and don't want anymore of those things. Anyways.. I just thought for the future it might be nice to know what everyone's interests are :)

Monique:grouphug:

What a neat thread. I did the post card exchange and absolutely LOVED it !!! I don't get to post on here very often - I tend to be sporatic due to time limitations or how I feel but I want to get in on a Christmas exchange this year and like getting ideas of things to send people !! You are just too smart !!!

OK - for me...

1) Fairies - love them - love to hang them from ceiling or trees (in a bedroom)
2) Butterflies also love to hang them (not real butterflies that are dead)
3) Magazines or small books on scrap booking [or] gardening

Note - I have NEVER done a scrap book - but I want to. LOL Had a hard time coming up with the 3rd thing. :D

I'm anxious to see what others come up with.

I did see a thing on tv where you get a butterfly house and you can grow butterflies yourself..and then release them. I thought it was cute for two minutes, *lol* until I realized I would be the one to take care of these things. Much like the cat my son picked out and I take care of and now he's talking about a dog.. no way.

I was in Walmart a couple days ago and I was looking at the scrapbooks but I have been so sleepy and unmotivated to even do that. I should work on my sons' baby books and update those and add new pictures. All the things I want to do but haven't motivated myself to start!

It would be interesting to know what other people like..this board is so diverse so I can only imagine the different interests everyone on here has.. it will be fun to find out! :)

Monique

Only 3 things? Hmmmmm....hard to pick 3 of my favorite things but I'll give it a shot!

1. Hummingbirds

2. Windchimes

3. DVD's of the old I Love Lucy shows, or Richard (wouldn't let me type his name! :rolleyes:)Van Dyke Show, or (lol) Carol Burnett Show (oh and The Johhny Carson Show too!) (I love the old comedy shows :))

Gold nuggets, silver medallions, diamonds. :plain: (Just kidding.)

I like cute mouse pads, fridge magnets, unscented lotions for my aging skin. ;)

Is this a restricted thread or can anyone post??? :confused:

What a crazy question! ;) Of course you can post here! Jump in and tell us your wish list!

By the way....Welcome to The Stumble Inn! :hug:

Thanks s. :hug: does this Automaticly mean I get presents for my upcoming Birthday?? :eek: http://www.spearboard.com/rofl.gif


Just kidding folks. :grouphug: BUT I like that postcard exchange thing. Can we still mail postcards?? I never have so I don't know but I know they used to do that. I think I may even have some here in a box of old stationary bits and pieces I picked up at an estate sale a few years ago. I will send one to whoever wants to exchange. Or do they have to be from the city where you originate from?? Or from anyplace??

OMG!!!! http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l2...06/funny-1.gif :eek: I just noticed this!! :eek: http://www.spearboard.com/rofl.gif That IS Hysterical s. http://www.spearboard.com/rofl.gif I think I may have something similar saved, let me look. ;):D

Here is is. Equally destructively funny: http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/1...eonfirejs5.gif

That Is a great idea. I loved the post card exchange. I still have them hanging up.

1. Chocolate the darker the better
2. Gel pens I love the way they look when I am writting cute notes
3. Flowers Seed, bulbs, bushes

*lol* For a moment I thought it wasn't letting you type Ricardo. .. then I realized Richard Van Dyke.. too funny :) I have 2 hummingbird feeders.. so I'll have to catch a couple and send you some. Don't worry.. I'll poke holes in the box! :eek:

Monique

Omg.. is your fridge covered with 291818 magnets? Please post a pic. of that :D I bought my kids alphabet magnets once, gosh that was a nightmare picking those things up and finding them under the fridge. :p

Monique

I have found my twin :) I LOVE gel pens.. I hear angelic harps being played when I walk into Staples! I didn't know what to put for #3.. I was going to put flower bulbs/seeds but I already have a bunch of plants growing and don't know if I have the room. But, I love my garden!! :rolleyes:

Ps - do you like nuts in your chocolate? or just plain..

Monique

*Steals Vic's mailbox* Well.. I fixed #1 :Ponder:

My wish list is on Amazon.com. One of the things I most covet is the Unabridged OED. It's 20 volumes and qualifies for free shipping! It's on sale for $7500.:D

It's on it's way, just for you.....well it may take a little longer than that to save up :Dunno:

*lol* if you will allow the CD Rom version on Amazon.... we can get that for $199 new and $150 used.. woo hoo:eek: I smell a bargain! :hug:

Monique

C'mon AMN.. where are the other two things you covet (some cheap ones) ;) heh..

I found and OED at a much lower price at Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Otological-Ear...512676&sr=8-30

Wooo Hoooo:D

Now i'm hunting for OEDs *lol* I have no idea if this is unabridged or not.. if I had the set I could probably look up the word unabridged! But.. I went to :
http://www.encyclopediacenter.com/ox...ictionary.html
and they have a 20 book set for $949 ;)

*lol* Vic.. I have no idea what that thing is for.. but it made me shiver just looking at it. I bet it could grab my chin hairs though ..hmm..

Monique

I am a simpleton.:confused:

:D~LOL~:D

-Vic

Oh yes, anything that fit's in an envelope. I get it. I have sent packs of Koolade to people in countries that don't have it AND I have some fake, conterfiet money, you can TELL it's not real, just copies, and a rubber check, yes, a real rubber check I made out to someone for a Gazillion dollars. :D { their screen name }

Let's see, WHAT could someone send ME for my B'day??

Cash is always nice. ;)

Gift cards :winky:

Antique Photos

If you can work the text codes you are NOT a Simpleton. :hug: :D ;)

It's just three things you like or have interests in.. doesn't have to fit in an envelope.. but hopefully it'll fit in a 747 :eek: What type of Antique photos do you like? *lol* Cash is great.. Or.. better yet..we can just accept stimulus checks :D

My fav. is still gel pens .. my 9 yr old asked for a pen today and... I didn't want to give him one of mine *lol* but I ended up sharing, tho it pains me so.

Monique

OH, ok. Antique photos of ships, air planes. I actually have a pic of a slave ship that sank or ran aground off the East Coast of the U.S. It was covered with sand up to the tips of the masts. I actually stood on them so in a sense I was ON a Slave ship. I also have an old photo of one of the Flying Tigers. Interesting story.

WHAT are "gel pens" ?? :confused:

Stimulus checks?? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ys/tofunny.gif Endorsed of course. We don't want to be doing anything illegal here. :eek: :p

I think we need to start a Gel Pen recovery group. I'll start:
I'm Betsy and I hoard Gel Pens. I'm so ashamed.

I have two packs of gel pens saved in my desk drawer for over 5 years! :eek: I finally decided to grow up and use them, after all they can be replaced. Right? One is missing already, :hissyfit: I know my dbf used it and didn't put it back. He will pay, and that is all I have to say about that.

LOL, thanks, but CDs never smell or feel as good as a good quality book.;)

I screwed up! I'm sorry! The OED is only $688 from Amazon! So, that's #1.

#2) The Penguin Classics Library Complete Collection: More than 1000 of the Greatest Classics is the other one on my wish list, it's on sale for $7,999.98!!! Such a deal!

Okay, here is my third thing, since you asked, it's the Hohner 7582/64 Super 64 Chromonica Chromatic Harmonica (in C, please). It's a bargain, I tell ya'!


Vic! I'm gonna get that OED you recommended just so I can say that I got an OED!!!!!!

:ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO:

I still don't KNOW what a gel pen IS. http://www.shreveport.com/forums/ima...pidometer3.gif

I guess I should just do a Search. Post some pics and get all of you alll DROOLING. :eek: :p

EWWWW, these look interesting:

Some how I just killed all my flowers so I figured why not put them down. I use to work at MJDesigns and that is where I fell in love with them. With or without nut I just love it (and it is not because I am pregnant I just love it more)

WHAT is in this library?? I also love old books and have a small collection. what are you looking for? Some are SO old that whenever I go into that cabinet I start sneezing from the old mold and dust in them.

Hi Betsy! Ok..my turn.. My name is Monique..and well, I'm a gel pen addict. I don't want to share mine.. and everytime.. I go to the store I want some! My ex husband always asks for my GOOD pens..and that means my gel ones. I just usually try to give him a ballpoint pen ;) heh If I loved him enough to give him a gel pen..we would still be married!

:Excited:
Monique

*lol* I haven't figured out how to put pictures/images in the messages or I would show you what a gel pen is! It's the ink ones that write/glide smoothly *drool* .. I have red ones..black.. *spittle flying* err.. blue ones *dabs mouth* I love them!!

Click on this: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/im...nsertimage.gif

When you click onit another Blue box will appear in upper left corner. Delete what is in there already, http://, then paste the url in there.

Or just type in the image brackets youself.

Then put the url of the picture between the brackets. http://www.imtorrents.com/images/smi...y%20Tongue.gif

My insert image button doesn't work :( When I click on other things it'll put up brackets like for quoting I get the [Quote] brackets.. but touching the image button doesn't do anything.. :mad: Darnit..

My top 3 impractical things:

1. Candy Apple Red Corvette (convertible). Yummy!
2. A welder and plasma cutter of my own. I have to use DBF's now.
3. A closet full of pretty shoes that I can actually wear and not kill myself doing it. lol.

Practical things:

1. Nivea Nighttime Renewal lotion. Awesome for intensely dry skin. I ran out and need to order more.
2. AAA and AA batteries. You can never have enough with kids around.
3. A daily inspirational story, concept, motivator to keep my aspirations going.

An inspirational story
 

Those are great ideas.. I should probably go out and buy an inspirational book to get me through the hard times. I don't know if you ever heard of Randy Pausch. He is a professor at Carnegie Mellon that is dying of pancreatic cancer.

This is his speech on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo

He gave a lecture called "the last lecture" about what you would say if it was your last lecture and you were dying. It's a hypothetical thing but in his case it's true. I want to go out and buy his book..

http://www.amazon.com/Last-Lecture-R.../dp/1401323251

In Sept. they gave him 2-3 months or so and he's been going on this long. The last thing I read was the cancer has spread as of May of this year to his lungs, lymph nodes and other areas which is very sad. But he is very inspirational so I still want to buy and read his book :)

Monique

I have never heard of him before. What an amazing man he is. Thanks.

Several years ago I read a book by Dr. Wayne Dyer. It was pretty good. Then I saw him on a PBS special and was really impressed. I bought one of his books and have never opened it. LOL. So much for being inspired to be inspired. lol.

A few months ago I read a book written by Piero Ferrucci called "The Power of Kindness." It was awesome! It really hit home for me as I was able to see things that I am doing well and no so well. I am going to read it again as a reminder as it was so uplifting.

[QUOTE=mom23angels;292409]My insert image button doesn't work :( When I click on other things it'll put up brackets like for quoting I get the Then just type the image brackets in yourself, it's NOT difficult BUT if I try to show you it won't show up so just look at the smilie with the IMG on either side http://www.imtorrents.com/images/smi...y%20Tongue.gif with the [ on one side and ] on the other. And make sure you put the / in the second one, that closes the tab. http://www.imtorrents.com/images/smi...y%20Tongue.gif

I have heard and seen him a few times. I don't know WHERE he gets his energy. :eek: He isn't going down without a fight, that's for Damn sure.
