Thank you, all, for the kind words. Mostly I feel bad for his widow, who is also a great person.
{{smonster}} It sucks to end a relationship, but sometimes, not as much as not ending it. Strength to you.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2009: So long and thanks for all the fish.
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2009? Don't think we've forgotten about you

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
EEEEEEE. I just got a package from Chapel Hill, so I promptly dropped all that boring work stuff to open it, and now I am surrounded by COOL THINGS. I got a really cool card with polar bears on it, a bag of lavender oatmeal herbal bath tea that smells divine, a giant match which has already been added to my office toys, postit notes that say "Now don't make me hand you your ass...", a chocolate filled candy cane, a cat toy, the I Miss Buffy: Megan Gogerty's Awesome Tribute Album CD Moravian Chocolate Dipped Spice Cookies, an awesome refrigerator magnet that I love even more than most people would because it looks exactly like the old Spanish tile on the staircase in the house I grew up in, peanuts I can use to ship camera stuff to Sue, and a book of pithy Holiday proclamations.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, SMONSTER!!! I LOVE IT ALL.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Yay, Perkins! I'm so glad. Sorry it took me so long to get it to you, but how perfect that it arrived on a Monday! (Psst - it's an ornament, not a cat toy. Though the former certainly frequently serves as the latter, goodness knows.)
I also retract my USPS criticism, since I mailed it Thursday and it got there today.
I tell ya, giving/getting Buffista Secret Santa gifts was a total highlight of my holiday season.

Though the former certainly frequently serves as the latter, goodness knows.)
But yeah, pretty much this.
It was very well timed, and much appreciated!

it's an ornament, not a cat toy.
In my experience, all ornaments become cat toys eventually.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Hey, Shir, there appears to be a marijuana leaf on this box of chocolates. Should I be worried about eating them at work?
(Oh noooo, there's only one more left.)

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Hee. I'd be lying if I said that I carefully examined the box before sending it, but on the other hand - that stuff is that good, I couldn't care less nor would be surprised if there are illegal drugs in it, God dammit.
I just hope it wouldn't get you in trouble in work.

Hey Smonster, I forgot to ask if the ornament is handmade. It looks like it might be, in addition to being really cute.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
And not a cat toy.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
And not a cat toy.
Which, for some reason, makes me ask - Hec, what did you sister send this year? It was your sister who sent Belinda, yes?
