    Having lived 44 years plus to date and having grown up in NYC, I could honestly say I thought I had seen it all and would never be suprised by anything again.

    That was true until about 6:58 PM today. The gift got to my place last night and I got home very late and did not open it.I knew it was from Uxbridge MA, and I knew immediately who it was from.

    So I wrote that I got it and was excited but did not know that the SS was worried whether I would like it.I spent most of the day leading up to opening my SS gift, texting Boo Boo, who was so worried I would not like what I got. I told him I would never be dissapointed with anything. What I did not know was that Boo Boo along with his father and son made me the gift.

    If you read some of my posts, you would certainly know I am jewish and an avid fan of the band.

    Boo Boo made me a Pearl Jam dreidel that was encased in a beautiful box with both an Eddie picture and my favorite artist Paul Klee painting inside.

    No one has EVER made me anything. I am so touched and humbled by the effort someone made for me that I am speechless. I can not imagine the thought, planning and work that went into it.

    I just got off the phone with him, and I could not express how amazing it made me feel. I could hear in his voice relief, which I can not understand. How could he think that I would not be touched to the soul by what he did. Who would want anything that money can by when I obviously got something that money can't buy.

    It has been put in my office right and I will look at it and smile and smile and smile...

    I will post pictures tomorrow so you can all see what someone like Boo Boo will do for you.

    I will always remember the feeling of what it felt like to unwrap it.

    Thank you Theo my friend.

    Adam


    That is what the holidays are about... What a beautiful story and gift!

    Everyone worrying about their pressies not being delivered/received yet, and such - may I remind you that I got my last SS pressie only in February. :lol: I'm definitely not complaining, just saying that there's no need to lose sleep over this yet. :mrgreen:

    I'm STILL waiting for the Ten Club order for my SS pal - but I went ahead and mailed the package anyway with a photo of the missing gift. He/she will understand for sure. I hope.

    (And eMMi, I still treasure your presents from last year - and that chocolate was so yummy.)

    My gift is wrapped, placed in a box, and will be mailed by Mr. Unlost first thing in the morning.

    Oh, and just so you all know, in 7-10 days (10-14 days for international) I'll be changing my user name, avatar and location just in case it isn't well-received.

    I'm not worried. I mean, who wouldn't love a package of tampons and a seventeen Tic Tacs? And most of the Tic Tacs are unused. And all are _ wait for it _ in mint condition.

    Mwhahahahahahahahahah.

    Finally in the post. Sorry for the wait but there was an issue that delayed me!
    My gift should get there by this weekend for sure!

    Also thanks to my SS, still didn't unwrap gifts but I broke into the chocolate last night. Yummy!
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!
