Time for a stupid question :whistle:

How do you post that? Certainly not in a regular box or a box full of ice pack...

It came in a Styrofoam  cooler wrapped in plastic. And there was a sealed ice pack keeping it all cool.

When I used to eat meat I liked getting Omaha Steaks. They are a bit pricy but have sales every once in a while and I always send my mom a bunch of things.

Her favorites are, besides the filet of course, are the salmon, creme brulee and the veggie lasagna.

Of course I always send her puppy the doggie treats too!  :laugh:

That's a nice present. :)

Well..I was sort of right about her wanting you to open it because it could spoil.  But what you got is way better than a giant fruitcake. ;)

I wake this morning to find my friend sent me another PM... a PM entitled...

Torture: The Sequel
with a poem attached...

To torture Pete is so much fun.
It seems the pain has just begun.
Friday’s present is just a ploy.
A gift next week? It's true. Oh boy!

Needless to say... I am scratching my head on this one. I already know I have a gift arriving today. I know I have a package arriving on Monday. Is it the Monday package she is talking about... or yet another new surprise to drive me crazy about!?!

Yes... it seems it is yet another surprise! When I asked the above she came back with another poem...

A new surprise awaits for you.
It's coming soon oh yes it's true.
Another gift? Oh my that's three.
But this goes under the Christmas tree.

Well... it seems things on this new package has changed somewhat. It seems this one does have to be opened once it arrives as well. We were playing around yesterday evening... she was torturing me pretty good when out of no where she comes out with...

Although I love to torture you...I think I'm going to let you open this present early. Why shouldn't you get a few extra days of happiness?

When I questioned her,,,, asking why the change and asking if she is sure she came out with...

I did not order it gift wrapped so it might be you will see what it is anyway. Besides you have some gold packages that can sit under the tree.

I think you will like this so much the joy will last through to Christmas day.

So I can only think the picture or company logo or what have you will be on the outer box. So I will see it as soon as it is delivered anyway.

By this time my curiosity was at an all-time high... and I just couldn't resist trying to find out what she was sending me last night... I asked if she wanted to play a game of Hangman... after all what is a couple more days of Happiness?  :laugh:

She just told me...

Nice Try  :laugh:

That is when I laid it on really thick... and hit my all-time low... I was actually ashamed of myself when I sent her the message saying "Was just thinking this would be the perfect day to get some happiness... what with the day it is and all." (Yesterday was the anniversary of my wife's death... so was a bad and down day anyway).. I was so ashamed for going there!  :bag:

But she replied with...

Oh you are sooo bad.

Better try but....nope.

Anyway... all that just to say I will be getting this surprised gift early as well. :P

OMG...OMG...OMG!!!
My friend was giving me hints to my big surprise last night... hints I just couldn't get. This morning I brought the hints back up... and found something that fit all three hints. But I just knew this couldn't be it... just no way!  But I submitted the guess anyway... just for a laugh... telling her ahead of time that it was just a joke guess... now how about some new clues. But what do I find out? My joke guess was right!?!

I have on the way...
A New Computer!!!

Toshiba - Satellite Laptop
- 17.3" Display
- 4GB Memory
- 500GB Hard Drive
- AMD Dual-Core A4-3300M Accelerated Processor with AMD Radeon HD 6480G graphics
- Multiformat DVD±RW/CD-RW drive with double-layer support
- AMD Radeon HD 6480G graphics
- Multiformat media reader (Supports Secure Digital, Secure Digital High Capacity, SDXC, miniSD, microSD, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO and MultiMediaCard formats.)
- 3 high-speed USB 2.0 ports
- Built-in high-speed wireless LAN (802.11b/g/n)
- Built-in 10/100 Ethernet LAN
- Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64-bit operating system preinstalled
- Built-in webcam with microphone

OMG...OMG...OMG! I am so in shock. I am sitting here still using an ancient Windows XP desktop that is maxed out at 1gb of memory... and here this thing has 4gb of memory!  I have a funny feeling I will be seeing a HUGE difference! :P

To that very generous friend of mine... if you see this here... Thank you so much! I love it! And can't wait to start playing with it!

 
:thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks:
