What movies (vhs is in the price range) have you been wnting? I have nothing specific on my current wish list, so I can't answer any of those questions... oh, and I do not have a VCR at the moment. 1. what is your age range? I will be somewhere between 38 and 40 a few weeks after Yule (which I celebrate, rather than Christmas), so you have extra time to mail me something.

Jewal and earth tones... anything but pastels 4. favorite authors/ type of book? Myths and folklore, both "Straight" and retold in modern fiction guise. 6. What type of music do you like? Saying "Folk" around here doesn't help much, does it? Hmmm... lessee: Child Ballads, Robert Burns, Turlough O'Carolan, worldbeat, sea shanties, Appalachian, folk-rock, Early (Middle ages, Renaissance), Blues, Bach, Mozart, pre-1950's jazz, pre-1970's country, Children's/Humor... 9. what is your t-shirt size? Large (42" or 105 cm chest) 10. do you collect anything? if so, what? I collect stories, particularly folklore (easy to carry, and useful to have when conversations lag). 11. what are some of your other hobbies? drawing, decorating clothing. 12. do you prefer gold-tone or silver-tone jewelry? Silver. But I don't wear much jewelry... don't wear rings, finger or ear. 13. please include anything else you feel is important that would help your secret santa know what you would like. That's all I can think of right now... hope this helps! |

Silver, but I only wear the one ring, and herself would be upset if I replaced it. 13. please include anything else you feel is important that would help your secret santa know what you would like I don't care much for kitch and knick-knacks. I "play" bodhran, but normally not in public places. I'm retired, and a full-time graduate student in history. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2002 Hints From: Helen Date: 12 Oct 02 - 09:53 PM 'Spaw - you know that Bette Midler line in the movie called "Outrageous Fortune"? "Does the term bugf--ker or needledick mean anything to you?" Well now she could add sea-horse dick to the list, eh? Moving right along, before the party gets too rough for this delicate, lady-like little flower. Yes, 'Spaw, I mean me, moi. ********** My hints are re-worked from last year. 1. what is your age range? 47 2. gender? XX chromosomes 3. Do you have a favorite color? purr-ple, gotta be purr-ple, but other than that: shimmery colours, lots of colours e.g. rainbows, or anything in the purple-blue-magenta range - but not yellow. 4. favorite authors/ type of book? Unfortunately for Secret Santas I tend to buy as many books as I can find by my favourite authors (Margaret Atwood, Nevil Shute, Terry Pratchett etc) so there aren't many gaps left on the shelves there. But please note: I'm happy with second-hand/used books. 5. what books have you really been wanting? I've nearly got all of the Nevil Shute books now, so that doesn't help much. 6. what type of music do you like? Harp music written by Turlough O'Carolan, e.g. played by Derek Bell of the Chieftains. Music is difficult because I like so many different types. Not really fond of Country & Western, though. I love African music, Middle Eastern music, Gypsy music - anything with complex polyrhythms in percussion, even my Leftfield CD's (techno percussion). All sorts of celtic stuff. 7. what cds have you really been wanting? Hard to say. Anything featuring my Secret Santa would be lovely, or anything which my SS loves to listen to. The funny thing is that I don't like many harp CD's except Derek Bell and Sileas and/or The Poozies so that's not really a good option. 8. What movies (vhs is in the price range) have you been wanting? Australian video format is VHS/PAL and we have a DVD player but it would have to be playable on an Australian DVD player so maybe this is too hard. 9. what is your t-shirt size? Medium to large 10. do you collect anything? if so, what? No, but some of my SS's own art or craft work would be fantastic or anything artistic, e.g. an art print by Monet, or a t-shirt with an art print on it. 11. what are some of your other hobbies? drawing/painting with pastels, watercolour pencils. Computer graphics, digital art, etc Playing the harp (string-type harp) 12. do you prefer gold-tone or silver-tone jewelry? Either. Helen |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2002 Hints From: RangerSteve Date: 13 Oct 02 - 06:28 PM I'll be 53 when Christmas rolls around, and I'm a male. I have too many books, however, when I travel I usually look for books of local history and/or folklore. (I live in New Jersey, so I have enough NJ books). I collect postcards - the large letter "Greetings From" variety. I also collect ocarinas and clay whistles in unusual shapes. I have too many videos, CD's, records, cassette tapes, but if you are a folk musician, especially traditional music of any ethnic background, and have a recording, I'd definately like a copy. Regional Cook books are always welcome, especially those fund-raising ones that various organizations put out. Food - I have type 2 Diabetes. No sugar, please. |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2002 Hints From: Genie Date: 13 Oct 02 - 11:50 PM 1. what is your age range? Doesn't matter -- I refuse to grow up. 2. gender? I've been accused (sans observation) by Amos of having "girly throws," and there are several photos of me afoot around these parts, so use your own judgment. 3. Do you have a favorite color? - love rich, vibrant colors (Chinese red, purple [on the reddish, not bluish, side], deep teal or bluish green, bright green] as well as rich muted colors [dark brown, charcoal grey, olive green, and a few colors that don't have readily recognized names] . 4. favorite authors/ type of book? -- audio books -- generally prefer nonfiction, but depends on book -- Used books fine (even preferred) Songbooks (Carter family, Jean Ritchie, Bill Staines, Mark Graham, etc.) I already have Joan Baez, Hank Williams, Bob Wills, Theodore Bikel, The Weavers, The Beatles, Rise Up Singing, Tom Leherer.) 5. what books have you really been wanting? -- one I've been meaning to buy is "The Story Of Pink Jade" by William Lederer -- a wonderful story I read in serialized form back in the '60s in a magazine. Been meaning to buy a used copy, but can't find my "round tuit." I love this story and may even turn it into a song some day. 6. what type of music do you like? - most everything, except most hip-hop, heavy metal, smooth (overly somni-genic) jazz, and whatever's on the top 40. Not especially interested in acquiring more classical or contemporary pop/RB/country CDs -- except maybe the Dixie Chicks or Emmy Lou Harris. 7. what cds have you really been wanting? - I generally prefer music with vocals, and love contemporary folk artists like Artisan, Bill Staines, Nanci Griffith, Tom Russell, etc. I would love to get a CD from a Mudcat singer-songwriter-instrumentalist like Jerry Rasmussen, Derrymacash (Aidàn Crossey), Justa Picker, Charley Noble, Kendall Morse, Alison, or anyone else that you think is worth listening to. It would be nice to hear a CD that is not likely to be readily available in my local audio store. Funny songs (à la Mousethief, Mark Graham, The Berrymans, Bryan Bowers, etc., are especially appreciated. (Catspaw, do you have a CD? -- Oh, heck! Just send me Catspaw. He's always good for a laugh.) 8. What movies (vhs is in the price range) have you been wanting? -- ??? 9. what is your t-shirt size? seldom wear them unless they are tank tops. Could always use another Mudcat T-shirt, so I won't be reluctant to wear (and wash) the one I have. -- probably mediu 10. do you collect anything? if so, what? - dust, scars, occasionally cats, garden weeds, ex-boyfriends, guitars, and way too much "stuff" 11. what are some of your other hobbies? - I gave the list to CatsPhiddle -- nothing really relevant to Christmas presents [unless you want to buy me a new pair of custom-made figure-skating boots or a rototiller ;-) ] 12. do you prefer gold-tone or silver-tone jewelry? gold or gold plated - -- don't wear any jewelry except French-hook or loop pierced earrings, and the ones I wear are usually bright and colorful. 13. please include anything else you feel is important that would help your secret santa know what you would like One type of "gift" I love is a donation to a charitable organization that benefits environmental and/or humanitarian causes. Organizations that 'kill two birds with one stone' [e.g., providing solar-powered computers to students in 3rd world countries or teaching people how to grow drought-resistant crops] are my favorites. The "Alternative Gift Market" is a good place to find these. The Jimmy Carter Foundation is another good one. "Negative hints:" |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2002 HintsaAs From: Mudlark Date: 14 Oct 02 - 09:51 PM OK, here are my hints. Thanks, Sorcha, for a list to start from. 1. what is your age range? Entering crone range 2. gender? F 3. Do you have a favorite color? Earthy, also bright natural dye colors...if a Navaho would wear it, I'd like it. 4. favorite authors/ type of book? Contemporary fiction: Eliz. Berg, Richard Russo, Michael Malone; also informal, personal books on writing. 5. what books have you really been wanting? Berg's latest, anything by Russo, or malone; Write it Right. Paperback good, used best! 6. what type of music do you like? Wide-ranging but picky. Just about any kind of purely acoustic guitar, classical, blues, whatever. Also baroque chamber music, also re-releases of 50's jazz, especially ballads. 7. what cds have you really been wanting? Have been hankering lately for "Dancing Down the Stony Road" 8. What movies (vhs is in the price range) have you been wnting? Haven't a clue. 9. what is your t-shirt size? Big...really big. 10. do you collect anything? if so, what? Mostly seashells and rocks picked up on local beaches. If my SS lives near the sea I'd love to have a few of each from local beach. 11. what are some of your other hobbies? Folksinger, gardener, cooking (when pushed to the wall), writing (unfortunately not quite yet in the professional range). 12. do you prefer gold-tone or silver-tone jewelry? I've fussy pierced ears, so need silver or gold earwires, but aside from that silver, or whatever, bold but not heavy. 13. please include anything else you feel is important that would help your secret santa know what you would like. Natural, I like natural. I have a basket someone made me from seaweed that is one of my treasured objects for as long as it lasts. I'm not into store-bought. I've no wall space and little flat space for display so have gravitated toward miniature things. I think I'd like anything that was important or meaningful to my SS. Remember that "negative hints" such as allergies might also be helpful. Am uninterested in food, probably because I'm allergic to just about everything. I don't like big coffee table books cause I don't have a coffee table. I'm not terribly good at taking care of things, fussing over things, cleaning things. I once turned down a beautiful antique chair because I knew that in one year with me it would be unrecognizable. |

Whatever you do, do not send harp music. Bleuurghhhhhhhhh! |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2002 Hints From: JenEllen Date: 16 Oct 02 - 04:11 PM Mine from last year: Dear Santa: I'm easy (don't let it get around). As far as Mudcat goes, I've been the delighted recipient of poems, songs and stories, a few books and a wonderful handmade bookmark, music, movies, a bottle of mexican liquor in the shape of a naked woman, and on one glorious occasion; a big box of rocks. The things themselves are precious enough, but the real joy is in the story of where they came from, and the person who sent them. That being said: 1. Age: 29 2. Gender: as girl as girl can be 3. Favorite color: dark blues and earth colours 4. Favorite books: poetry and non-fiction, in fiction: anything but sci-fi and romance. 5. Wanted books: oh, anything with a cover and pages... 6. Favorite music: Chanteys/OldTime/Bluegrass 7. Wanted cd's: nothing springs to mind, all is good 8. Wanted movies: none in particular, not much of a video person really 9. T-shirt size: Large 10. Collections: besides the mud on the floor and the cat hair on the sofa? ceramic bread bowls 11. Hobbies: art, reading/writing, cooking, hiking, gardening and watching the wildlife 12. Jewelry: if I wear any at all it is small and silver. 13. Other: for any of the English Santas, I can't say as I'd turn down tea...*g* ~J Sigh. The only thing that has changed is that I've gotten a year older and more blessed by my Mudcat pals. This year I can add to the list of received delights: LAST year's prezzie of wonderful tunes, booze, and a big rock, music, books, and the pleasure of the company of a lot of truly fine folk. There is still WAY to much mud and cat hair around, so I don't need any more of that! ~J in 2002 |

Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa 2002 Hints From: Hollowfox Date: 17 Oct 02 - 12:07 PM 1. Age 53 (playing with a full deck and one joker) 2. Female 3. My mother says my sense of color came out of a crayon box. I likes 'em bright, mostly. 4. Like so many of you,my tastes run to folklore and fantasy. Humor and interesting/odd/local history are appreciated as well. I seem to be finding humorous "How to speak (Pittsburgh, Australian, wherever)" pamphlets lately. Great stuff. 5. If I get a New Englander, anything by John Gould. If from Australia, anything by Moses Aaron or Kel Watkins. If from Scotland or England, anything by Stanley Robertson. Used books are a good thing. 6. Mostly English-language traditional, but don't let that limit you. I also like casettes and phonograph records. I also enjoy spoken word and novelty albums. Used is good. 7. For the non-USA crowd, the latest Arrogant Worms cd (Canadian), and for the British crowd, Taffy Thomas's "Take These Chains From My Heart". I loaned it to a friend, and I fear it is lost to me forever. 8. King of Hearts, Iron Monkey, Wicker Man, anything by Buster Keaton except The General (I have that one), Blotto (Laurel and Hardy). Used is good. 9. Large 10. It's more that interesting things accumulate around here. If you think it's interesting, it will probably fit in. I'm not into cutsey things, though. 11. Cooking, fancywork (embroidery, counted cross stitch, latch hook), things medieval (Society for Creative Anachronism, with my three teens. Got anything Mongolian?), enjoying nature. 12. silver, but beauty and good workmanship aer more important. 13. I am omniverous, and not allergic to anything that will affect this project. My tastes run as much to treasures found outside of stores as those found inside stores. Being a fellow Mudcatter, I can't imagine any choice you make going wrong. When in doubt, send edibles. Most Important--- please tell me who you are in the package! I still don't know who my SS was last year, save that it's a 'Catter with excellent taste, residing in Michigan Have fun, Mary |
