Not to worry, wait 'em wait! There's too many darksiders on this scary forum already!


I love the word "santee" by the way!


Good idea about keeping SS notes on hand when shopping! I should have done that yesterday.

I copy my recipient's hints and responses into a note on my PDA (aka my "mind") and it's with me wherever I go. You'll notice that I have merely described my practice, but not said whether I have done that yet this year or not...maybe yes, maybe no...

I went shopping for my Santee yesterday but didnt find anything "perfect"....alas! I did get a couple good ideas though, and at least one "fall back" idea. Santee beware!

Well, I did have something for my "Santee" but it seems to have disappeared off the table.


Was that a hint already?

Hmm, are kitty pawprints in evidence?


Did some mail order shopping today.

Hubby wouldn't let me buy them because they are expensive

My DH has gotten in on the act. I started to buy something and he said "No! Your Santee doesn't want that color!" Well, he didn't really say 'Santee', but you know what I mean....

Good excuse to use your "mad money"! And yes, the caramel is good. There is a strip of caramel in the middle of the chocolate filling.

I looked up Tim Tams and they don't sound like something that I'd like either. Mind if I borrow that bag?

Oh mine is just hands-off with this whole thing. The only thing he'll help with is taking something to the post office. lol He's not a shopper.

"sneak buy"! yeah, I have to do that too. Mind you, I always try to balance it out by buying him something special too. Then I wonder why my grocery bill is $168 !!!! For two people?!

same here. My hubby is NOT a shopper at all. But he would run a package to the post office for me if need be.

You're safe. Your dislike only means more for the rest of us!
