| | How about a little twist...:-?
I'll let everyone who cares to guess who my gifts were for...:-)
Today's first gift is something near and dear to my tastebuds. And hopefully it will be a treat for you... And my final gift are some moments caught on tape that remind me so much of your delightful response, outlook, and simply different! way of looking at things that you grace us with each day...:-)
First, the tastebud thing. I would share this with everyone on the board if I could...  which can be found here... click me!
Need I say... tasty !!...:-?
(Unfortunately it's only available in July and August. You'll have to accept my raincheck...:-)
.
.
.
And my second gift. Some moments caught on tape that always delight me, that make me marvel (and laugh!) at the simply understanding and trust that some can demonstrate...that baffle those of us who overwhelm tasks and topics with too much thought and logic...
Rich will instantly know who this gift is intended for. He tried to explain to you in a thread a while back a reference by me to Gracie Allen in a reply to you...:-) (Gosh, I am beginning to talk like Gracie Allen!)
I meant no harm then and I mean none now. It is truly refreshing to see, and understand, your reactions to various topics in this forum. I am sure that is a pleasure that is shared by many others here at ea.
Any guesses anyone ?? I'll hide my recipient's name in a following post...
...never confused about my favorite on-line hangout...:-)...

| | Dragonfire88, I am coming out of hiding to give you your gift for the day and to officially welcome you to EA. It's nice to have you "on board"
Today's final gift is once again a present for your computer. Out of consideration for your dial up account, it is Christmas wallpaper rather than a larger screensaver. http://www.michyland.com/Xmas/WallPaper/LetterMouse.jpg
Merry Christmas! I hope your holidays are truly wonderful.
Amy

| | I never posted my Thursday gift from my secret santa. This was because it made me paranoid.
I sent one to MJ that was in the form of a madrigal. The very same day, my secret santa sent me a link to a website full of madrigals.
So, I was certain that MJ was on to me, and was letting me know. Either that, or a moderator had hacked my account.
Tom, how did you know? And how did you know about TKs? |

It was a total guess! I totally messed up my SS guesses at work yesterday and she had to actually place things on my desk
Thanks so much for the gifts.
And thanks to Worm for this great game!

| | You're welcomed everyone! I had a GREAT time being SantaWorm this week!
You all get great big stockings of goodies from me!!!!!
I haven't completed my spreadsheet for today and yesterday, so I'm not sure if all of your are "outed" yet. Over the weekend, I'll post a listing of the match ups in case there is some outstanding revealing to be done.
Until then - feel free to keep guessing.
I'll also try and post the 3rd party guesses! !santa |

Tom, how did you know? And how did you know about TKs? | jeez Margaret,
You're making me feel like a stalker...:-)
It's amazing what a user with 5500-plus posts will have said in the past...:-)
All I did was simply go back and search for stuff you had talked about on the board. Yes, you had talked about TKs. And a simple 'google search' found it easily. Yes, you had talked about madrigals...:-) And a simple 'google search' found something easily...
And no, it really didn't take that long. Just picked a few random pages and read some of your old posts...
I hope you liked it all...:-|
...confused... :-( ...

I'll post later tonight - I've got to go convince Nicholas that it is okay to go to sleep tonight and that he won't miss Santa.

Julie,
I am sending this to you, for one last chance at a guess!!
(this is a terrible poem!)
It is the time of year that everyone must Think
Or into a shopping frenzy of confusion they will surely sink.
For me the malls are truely a blur
And the weather can make me say "Br-er "
My last name really does start with an L
My husband recently installed a new front door bell.
My first name really does start with an A
And I love to visit Cape May
My students sometimes find on their papers a D
Last summer I was stung by a bee
I wish you a Happy New Y ear
The end of this poem is really near.
| Is it... TheEye?
Just kidding, Thinkerlady. Thank you for the fun gifts!
