- A large green coat.
- A small brown jacket.
- A box of scissors. (Are you worried yet?)
- A brick of chocolate.
- A book about learning to play guitar.
- A matching DVD.
- A book of reference drawings.
- A TomTom carry case. (Hmm, interesting.)
- A set of pencils.
(Hey, it's like the conveyer belt round from the Generation Game in 
here! Where's the cuddly toy?)
- A set of charcole and pastels.
- A carry bag.
- A TomTom. (Wahey!)
- A working watch.
- A pair of computer games who's names escape me now...
- A digital video camera. (!!)

Let us not enumerate the multiplicity of cakes and confections consumed. 
(Although in truth, the meals alone were enough to fell an ox...)

One (1) count US$50.  To be deposited in my bank hopefully on the

Let me see...

 From my grandparents (both sides) some money: For years now I've never 
offered a wish they might fulfill, so I get money in order to fulfill a 
wish whenever one comes up. Not that bad considering that I recently 
bought a Laptop and then got sick and couldn't work for just about two 
months now.

 From my Dad: A book and a "Get one wish free"-Card. Again, I didn't 
express anything I'd like to have, so he didn't know what to get me.

 From my younger brother: A chemistry set (usally for kids age 12 or so) 
to grow some crystals. Nice idea. :-)

 From my older brother: Nothing, he's got no money and is basically 
living off welfare.

 From my oldest brother: An invititation to go bowling and spend the 
night, watching a Blu-Ray Movie. I'm a movie geek, so that's nice. :-)

 From my best friend: She got me the book "Rumo - Wonders in the Dark", 
which is actually a german book called "Rumo : Die Wunder im Dunkeln", 
was written by the german author Walter Moers, whom I've grown to like 
(at least the stories taking place in his imaginative and hilarious 
world of Zamonien).

 From my mom: Nothing, so far, but just now I'm figuring that I should 
call her. I was a little stressed with university, work, sickness and 
preparations, so that kinda slipped my mind... I'll get to it now!

Regards,
Tim

Last toaster started emitting smoke. That was after the racks stopped
working, and the dial stopped adjusting how dark the toast got. It
really was time for a new one.

The kind for the kitchen. Not the kind for display in the living room or

Living room knife displays are something I would have had to pick out,
not something someone could have given me as a gift. ;-)

Oh! So that's what it means. I must get a new one then :)


BTW No one mentions a 4 day stay in hospital without wanting to talk about it.

You can tell me I'm a first aider and a sympathetic listener. All in the
strictest confidence, you understand. :)

I hope that it wasn't too serious. No one likes a visit there especially not at
Christmas time.

Indeed. I visited hospital once, and it was miserable. And I was only in 
there for about 20 minutes. Went to visit my mum. Not sure why we 
bothered though... she was so totally out of it.

They gave her a box with a button on it. When you press the button, it 
injects morphine into the drip. She had her thumb pressed down on that 
button continuously, with a vice-like grip. [Obviously, the machine cuts 
out once the maximum dose is reached. I doubt my mum would have 
understood such a concept at that moment...]

Nothing wrong with hospitals. I do sometimes three in one day.
Last august when I had overstretched my ankle I had to stay at home for 
nearly two weeks. I was really glad to be recovered enough to go to the 
hospital again. But I guess that does not count ;)

Well, between smoke, dials not working, and the strange rattling sound

Yeah they do, when it's people who have spent enough time in and out of
hospitals that it really is just another way to spend a weekend. I
forget that humor doesn't translate all that well to the internet at large.

For comparison, my extended family's response was, "Well, I hope they
fed you better than last time."

Hmm, strictest confidence on public usenet that gets picked up by

indexable, and really out of place in this group.

You know, all the times I asked for a pony, a baby brother, and a race
car, I figured it was just to pad my list to make the other stuff look
more reasonable.

Thanks to an animal rescue center in central Florida, we do.  The

My windows are all at ground level. That's the down side of basement
apartments, when machinery needs 'testing' it's really hard to justify
being on the roof.

"I swear, this is what my toaster normally goes through when I make
toast. Of course it should be covered by the warranty, doesn't everyone
use their toaster on the roof? The bird just came along and tipped it
over the edge. Must have wanted the toast."

Mmm port. I had never tried it until this summer when I went to california 
for vacation. We had some at a biodynamic vineyard. It knocked my socks off 
it was so good.

"The Family Guy" volumes 2, 3 and 4 DVDs
The first 3 Harry Potter books.
Guitar Hero 3, for the Wii (surprisingly fun, and something I never would 
have bought myself)
Miscellaneous shirts, sweaters and pants.
Some other odds and ends, I can't remember them all.

Then as a present to ourselves, my girlfriend and I bought ourselves a 
panasonic plasma tv. it's dead sexy.
