Thanks for the college memories- only I never got the care package as I went to Moravian- they'd just tell me to come home and mow the lawn or wash the bathroom if I called hoping for food or money (well now, I suppose I should back off, they were very supportive- but still no care packages!).T.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15380182375299967256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33252138.post-46547662146366514362010-08-06T13:32:27.290-05:002010-08-06T13:32:27.290-05:00You know how you have fewer pix in your photo albu...You know how you have fewer pix in your photo album of each successive child?

Spare me! I know I can do better with a flat-rate box from the post office and everything I can stuff in there.<br /><br />I want to know what the book is too. Right now I'm reading a very good book but I can't remember the title because it's 10:37 and I'm stupid like that at this hour.

My mom once sent me an entire box of milk chocolate caramels and a homemade Valentine card. It still ranks as one of the nicest things I've ever gotten for St. Valentine's Day - and my hubs is an awesome gift giver.<br /><br />Hubby: I KNOW you were never at any place with any alcohol. Ever.

Thanks for the trip back in time. <br /><br />@ Laura: I thin t hat not even if your chair hears you, you're pretty miserable. That is probably not Mr. Diamond's best work. My most vivid memory of Neil is my mom belting out his songs when I was a kid. And my little brother dancing to "They're coming to America." Just thinking of that song gives me goosebumps.

We were so deprived that it was a BRILLIANT idea (that sr. citizen early bird line cracked me up). Do you think we could institute something like this with our kids? now?<br /><br />And the care pkgs- they were RIDICULOUS. I think there was one of the stuff you mentioned (one each) and it cost like 50 bucks. My dad started making his own, and man they were CRAMMED with lots o carbs and good stuff. So if you ever do the care pkg thing, def do it yourself and ignore any official things. <br /><br />Oh, and maybe send it a little earlier than the last 2 days of dorm living. Just saying, Dad. :)MamaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13101624062181567021noreply@blogger.com
