Many happy returns on this, the beginning of return and exchange season, Theo, Rayne and Jesse!

Oh, and here's a link to Jesse's BIRTHDAY SONG: [link]

I like David's construct, so happy birthday to the Queens of Boxing Day!

Apparently after my folks went home last night, they called my sister twice to say they'd forgotten their bag of gifts, when in fact my sister had unloaded it in their apartment. And my Dad still thinks they're going to move somewhere else with less support. The mind reels.

Me, I spent three happy hours reading Yuletide last night, and slept for eight hours. Yay. I am not working today and the only thing I have planned is to go climbing with my niece. But I might clean my refrigerator out...

I have never either returned or exchanged a gift (nor been made aware anyone did so with one of mine). I like this state of blissful ignorance.

I'm at least one app away from an efficient method of uploading to Flickr (they have an app for my phone, but my phone doesn't take SD cards--my tablet does, and Flickr put that later in their release list, for reasons of their own) *and* of adding sets to collections, so here are the scant photos to date:

• Kingston Kitchen (the eaty place, held in our version of Disneyland which is--if you're not sure about us being Third World? You need to see this. Lays all doubts to rest. Apparently we don't have two of anything, and have one of very little. ANYWAY): >[link]
• Christmas Eve at Boone Hill (another restaurant halfway up a mountain--less chi chi than the one with the infinity pool, but it's a lovely riverside presentation, and they totally were going to do my peacock suggestion anyway. Food was pretty tasty too): >[link]
• Christmas Day (my mother's sister that lives in Ja always comes over, but my father's sister who is here didn't come this time, which was a shame, but it was still good to sit down with them and eat good food and see how much rhetorical bullying I could get away with when aimed up the family tree (answer=not much)): >[link]

Has anyone here had their photos added to a stranger's gallery? Or has created one or more? In my hunt to find alternate tools to organise, I found that four of mine have. A gallery is a collection you create, but you can't add your own pics--it's entirely of other Flickr pictures. It's not like a group because there's no social component, and people don't submit their own photos, and there are no challenges or memberships, etc. It's just curation (oh, how I love that word for lending the faintest patina of respectability to me web-mining for the best (only the best for YOU) pictures) plain and simple. I'm not mad about mine--Vintage Black Women has two, one of which is my parents' wedding, and Browncover has one--they seem to be a collection of specifically Jamaican vintage photos. And then one of my Dhani Jones pictures is in a one-picture gallery, so I need help reacting to something t /Abed .

Has anyone here had their photos added to a stranger's gallery?

Not nearly as often as I like.

I have never either returned or exchanged a gift

Me neither, but I used to work retail customer service. It's also shopping with gift card season, which is more festive.

Commemorate with all glee and ceremony the anniversary of your birth, Theo, Jesse, and Rayne! With cake! And fire!

How does one find out if your pictures have been added to someone's gallery?

Happy Birthday Theo, Jesse, and Rayne!

Happy birthday, three queens of boxing day!
