I think Scotland is in here too, but not sure of the time...

And finally "TST" (Terri Standard Time) Because Terri has her own time zone and day

What time would that be for eastern standard time for Australia?
Cheers Jackie.

I received my package yesterday!! At least I think so, I didn't order anything from Illinois! Yay!! I wonder if it's wrapped inside??

Well? if ya didn't order anything from there, then I'm thinking SS.
NO OPENING!!! :)

Okay - no opening, no peeking, I put it high on a shelf and noticed a little hole in the packaging... No peeking, no opening, I get it!

times posted for opening is good for me.

I imagine you all already know this but there are on line time checkers like this one. You can put in your time and see what time it is anywhere else in the world.

Oh NO....Terri opened!!!! Then trying to post a pic of that closed box....well, Santa KNOWS for sure!!! *BOP...BOP...BOP - with feathers flying*...What were you thinking????? HUH????

See...now you have some of those enablers trying to get me to open mine....tsk..tsk..tsk.....

And Tigger, come on in....the water ..ummm...feathers are actually ok!

Oh..and the times look great to me...

ME TOO! That icky white stuff comes by me, before it gets to you! :shock:

NOW I AM GOING TO GET MOUTHY HERE BETWEEN EGGS ANS THE SANTA STATMENT I THINK THINGS ARE GETTING CARRIED AWAY EVEN IF WE ARE GREAT FRIENDS WE HAVE TO THINK OF THE NEW PEOPLE ON THE SITE

AND I DID NEAM TO USE CAPS

NANCY

ok, using DB laptop,...I am on the back of a duck...one of Ducky's friends offered to help me go look for her....and I'm freezing my little mouse tail off...and typing too...(ok, bring on the sympathy!!!!)
Peachy, no sighting of Ducky yet, but I am only to Louisianna...so how are things going back at SS fort?
trying to catch up with all the merriment...
and, McDaniel...I resemble that remark! :mrgreen:
(Mousie?...moi?...talk a lot?...surely, you jest! :mrgreen: )
gotta go...getting a call from DH on cell phone...
yeah, he's fending for himself, and lost as a cut dog in a breeding contest! :lol:
hugs and kisses for all you guys...why didn't I wear a parka?????? :roll:

no no! That's not fair! You're all threatening to open your packages, and I don't even have mine!!


I'll have to take that day off from work, or switch shifts with someone in order to be here at 4pm. I WILL make it work!

There is no Santa, there is no Santa...... this is just Herman saying there is no Santa because he wants to be opened. That guy is not fooling me. I know there is a Santa I have to keep sayin to myself... I BELEIVE I BELIEVE. I am such a GOOD girl today.

Has there been any Ducky sightings???????? Please Ducky make your where abouts know. We are all frantic with worry. Miss Mouse if Ducky doesn't show up soon I think we are going to have to file a missing Duck report. I know you have been out searching, have you looked in any butcher shops????? I am worried for my own safty what if there is duck for dinner and pie for desert............peach pie...........I better go hid. (rolling under the sink)

Wisssssssssssssshhhhhhhh smack kerplunk.........got you good with my pillow Charlee ( Charlee doubles over moaning) sorry didn't mean to hit you in the stomach that hard.

Thanks for the time clock addy kwhite - I knew it would be on the web someplace - but this will make it easy now it is bookmarked!
PS - My present still awaits me - but all you guys teasing about opening just keeps reminding me it exists! :roll: :twisted: Guess I will have to quit reading this post for a while........... :? Our kitty loves boxes and I put it in a place for him to be able to attack it at will :mrgreen: - but he has been leaving it alone :( So I guess I still wait.............

Okay, I'm here. I heard that Mouse and Peach had an APB out on me, so I thought I'd better check in. Life, in general, is just a bit whacko right now, and it feels like I'm waddling as fast as these little legs will go.

**And I'm wondering just where you get "fake" feathers.....from "fake" ducks?**

OMG!!! Rein!!! You are here!! I thought maybe you were trampled by blue camels or something!


Hey Tink's, think we could convince that ucky wet cold stuff to just skip us for a bit anyway??? The poor farmer's need a break, wayyyy too much corn still out in those fields!

You can't just take off for days at a time and not leave a message. Miss Mousie is out searching for you. I was afraid you were someones thanksgiving dinner. But now that you are back and my worring can stop.....swat, squish wooooooooosh I got you good with my pillow. You have to play ducky you need to get a pillow, just because you are feathers doen't mean you can fly up and crash into us. That would hurt too much.

Ducky is gonna run out of down if y'all don't quit thwappin each other with those pillows!!!

Poor Ducky- how about using balloons to bop each other ?It will keep Ducky safer. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Thank you, Sapdoggie, for your love and concern for this little feathered body. Tru, you gotta understand that it all starts with Duck Hunting Season........then comes Thanksgiving.............then Christmas. You just don't know how hard it is to constantly be incognito. I have to change my disguises everyday. **sniff** I just hope I make it til December 13.....

Changing the subject but does anyone if Shadow is checking into the hospital today or tomorrow? We needs to keep tabs on her & her progress.

I was thinking the same thing. I wanted to start a thread of well wishes for her but didn't know if it was permitted.

Peach, Terri might know something but she is probably asleep right now. Guess we can wait till this evening & maybe hear something. Hope you have a nice Thanksgiving & all will be well with your family.

Oh, OH!!!!!! I think I just got my SS package! It doesn't say Secret Santa on it, but I don't want to run the risk of opening it and the gift is not wrapped in paper.... I want to play by the rules and wait.
I just PMd Terri to confirm that my SS lives in Australia, and then I'll know for sure it's the right package!
AAAAAAAHHH, I'm so excited now!! Only 20 days left!

Y'all better be glad that I didn't join the SS exchange, because I would NEVER agree to wait to open the package. It gets opened when it arrives. In the same way I would never wait for my DQ partner to open mine. You guys are nuts. And some of you are way too snarky, nasty, and mean to each other
for my taste.

I PMd her earlier just to wish her luck and moral support. Didn't get an answer, but wasn't expecting one either.

Mom always said to watch out for the quiet ones :D

I agree with you. Sent her an email this morning because I was worried about her. Haven't gotten a reply back as yet. Hope she is doing okay.

I just got an other SSbox not the same post mark.First was out of Country. Second one has my address on it. Oh man help me!!!!!! :roll: :roll: :cry: :cry:

Shadow will contact someone when she is out of hospital and feeling better. No need to start a thread at the moment, but if you do, You'd have to start one in PDA (I think). Would have to check with Patrice on that one.

For those that are asking for her addy.....I'm sorry, but I cannot give it out. Shadow had asked me not to.
Just hold tight..........

So I'm cleaning (again) and run right into my little box. It's so sad and lonely and dusty! Don't you all think I should show it a little love? How much solitude can the little guy take?

do you have other pressies for other good boys and girls... put you SS bax with them.... Then, it won't be so lonely and sad, and it won't get dusty :D

Mine is rapidly disappearing under my DH's 'filing system' - ie all the post and paperwork that he has to deal with chucked in a pile! :shock: :lol:

That's a great "hiding spot"! :D :D

Just give it a little dust off. A little hug and it will be fine.

I only hope I can find it when the day comes - I'm sure there's stuff there written on stone tablet, it's so old! :shock:

I had to ask Skeat where to get fake feathers...she has these yummy boas...lol...aren't they made of nylon or some manmade product?
yup, I'm on DB's laptop again, in Louisianna, and Ducky...my Ducky, you are...on the board in the ante room to chat room? Then why am I riding your cousin westward and freezing?
Take it down Skip! I see a restaurant. We'll get some hot chocolate, it's on me. You already have one bill :lol:

Mousie, so very sorry to make you go looking for me. Hopefully Skip didn't charge you very much -- he's a bit of a tightwad. I'll send you some of the feathers I've lost due to stress and you can make a comfy down comforter. :D

Oh Duckduck, you need big HUGS! mwah! kiss on your feathery hand.
I'll use those feathers to make a teen-ine-cy mouse pillow, so part of you will always be close to me! Even with a cape, a little mouse can get in a bit of a panic at times! :cry:
But now that I know you are mostly ok, I'll sit patiently waiting till you de-stress and able to re-group, lol :mrgreen:
(did I get a wittle smile Duckduck?)

I am saying p's for Shadow, and will be all day tomorrow. Let's all think of her with love tomorrow, ok? :)

Ducky...so glad you are ok...I was weally weally weally worried about you! The feathers were flying everywhere and if it weren't for the fact that they were all wild bright pinks, greens and yellows...I'd have thought it was you for sure?? :wink:

Its really nice to see that more packages are joining the party!
