    JBii, I saw "bubble bath" after opening the box. I though: ohhh funny stuff, and good trick to hide this sweet bottle! But hey with all this packaging, we got bubbles!! :lol:

    And youre right: I almost had more fun to send and track the gift I sent to Enkidu! (I said almost! :D )

    Been looking for you on the DVD. Are u "the" Gene Simon? :o hahaha i'm kiding!! Ed is looking right in front of him while saying that!

    JB had a theory on the slow boat of shipping ....
    internet sales are way up,
    so all the carriers, including postal service, overwhelmed perhaps.

    We are patiently awaiting his... he checked first thing this morning at 5:30 am!
    then again at 8:30 am .... what time is it? ... here he comes again ;)

    Hooray, I'm glad you liked it. I love "Light Years" and when I thought of the "hammer made out of wood" line I was - bingo, I know what I'm doing for Secret Santa. The "games with pieces" (mini backgammon game) made me laugh out loud too.

    Hope you have a great holiday. This is the best Secret Santa group I've ever been in. Thanks Helen!
