Well...I thunk up a CD I've been wanted, oh mighty and generous Santee, oh good and glorious and, might I add, giving, Santee.

Gibson and Camp: At The Gate Of Horn.

Either the classic or the revival.

Dick Greenhaus carries both.

And SS...about that you-know-what...I can explain. Really. It wasn't at all what it looked like.

Oh wonderful Delvene, thanks. In answer to your question, yes I've been good - just don't make any rhymes about Kentucky (unless it's lucky.) If you're who I think you are (and I mistakenly thought it was you last year too) you are a very good singer and very quick witted.

I've just returned from a trip and am quite nostalgic for pictures. Take one of your land or sea or sunset for me today - or just save a postcard. I have a picture in mind, but surprise me!

Sorry, Mooman -- the ol' Claus has been a bit too stretched to spend much time at Mudcat, so this hinteroony hint fest is posted much later than intended. (I suppose that fact in itself is a bit of a hint, if only by process of elimination.) I haven't even had much time to enjoy the glorious fall foliage except in the car driving to and from work. (I guess that's a geographical hint.)

But I HAVE had time to plan and start to accumulate the items for your Yule-tide tuck box. I might even get it shipped out before Hallowe'en. (Is my placement of the apostrophe a hint? Who knows.) Alas, the package won't include any of the lab glass acquired from Santa's ex-spouse (and that's not as transparent a hint about my gender as it could have been); I found a home for most of that cubic-footage a few years ago (but kept one large beaker for a non-lab purpose).

That's waaay too many hints, I think -- but I may not have much time to post any others and I didn't want you to think you were forgotten.

To my Secret Santa --

What I really, really want is something I don't think even you can get me (at least, not for under the $20 limit): What I really, really want is a partner and a lover. Not someone perfect, but someone whose faults work well with my own, rather than exasperate them.

Next on my list of wishes: I want peace on Earth, and Bush out of the White House.

Next after that: enough money so I can be a benefactor of worthy causes, and a patron to a struggling but wonderfully creative artist.

If you cannot manage any of the above, I will still be thrilled and tickled pink with a pleasant surprise.

(In other words, I cannot think of what I want) ;-P

er ... when I try to send a pm to GUEST.BaldEagle2's secret santa's elves the system won't let me.

(It's not my fault - I TOLD you I was new at all this).

So how do I let my secret santa know that my preferred t-shirt size is Large without making the fact completely public, and inviting all sorts of ribald comments and derision (particularly from people who's id's rhyme with "Shamos")?

Any advice (particularly from you LtS), would be most useful, I can tell you.

TIA (whatever that may mean, but everyone else seems to say it. A lot.)

Please Mr BaldEagle we need your help. Now t-shirt size, 'comfy but not too big' now we are Small so upto medium is comfy but not too big but Large is too big. Now Mr Bald Eagle if you need Large and we provide medium then that may not be 'comfy' but XL may be too big. Now do you see we have a problem here? The Boss likes us to get it right and we dont want to ruffle your feathers do we . Hehehehe
