Monkey Mail

[priceyfatprude]

Target has Boo Berry if anyone is wondering. $2 a box.

[joppa.gal]

I got Spicy Jack's un-birthday card!

I have to get busy sending mine out!

[Smartypants]

I have this sneaking suspicion that the postal workers in the little Cape Cod town I mailed my postcards from last week read what I wrote about them and threw my Monkey Mail away.

Isn't that a federal offense?!

(It's not like I am fishing for any acknowledgment that I got off my ass and finally mailed anything or anything like that... :p)

WOW! There is an excuse if I ever heard one :p

;)

SuuUUUUUUUuuure, you sent them. Uh huh ;) And your million $ is in the mail :p

[Smartypants]

I know! Katherine Harris, heady after her success at screwing with the 2000 elections in Florida, has moved to North Truro, Massachusetts, where she has taken to tampering with the U.S. mail!

There can be no other explanation.

Someone call the press!!

:p

[daverbee]

Got a postcard from Nashville signed by the smoothest doctor I know!
Thanky!

[Aphrodite]

I got two from Daver! Woo Hoo!

Thank You very much.

I'm going to get my butt in gear and send more out!

[daverbee]

Glad to know they arrived!

Me too. Thanks! :D

(Seems like the postal workers of Nashville have considerably more integrity that the ones in N. Truro. Hmph!:mad:)

If you didn't write so well your cards wouldn't get circulated first to all the local postal workers before being sent on to intended destinations.

[Smartypants]

Thanks for that assumption, but I must confess that my writing suffered a bit in trying to come up with unique messages for all 12,653,132 zemonkeys on the list. They weren't THAT interesting. ;)

[priceyfatprude]

Do what I do--write the same thing on every card. :p

:eek: And here I have been slaving over personal messages from the heart for everyone of you. Blood, sweat and tears went into them - which explains the stains and smell :p

;)

[priceyfatprude]

I only did that for one.

Wish you were here!

<3,

PFP

:p

[Spicy Jack]

ahhhh...that was a *great* postcard. i felt the love.

REQUEST FOR NAME CHANGE:

CURRENT NAME: priceyfatprude

REQUESTED NEW NAME: lazyassprude

A friend of mine used to have a rubber stamp she qould take on vacations to use on postcards:


Dear ______________ :

Having a wonderful time wish you were here.

Love, Allison


All she had to do was, stamp it, write in a name, and she was done!

[priceyfatprude]

Can I have Alison's number so I can order one of those?

Oops, I mean, JUST FOR THAT YOU ARE ALL GETTING A PERSONAL MESSAGE THIS TIME!!!!!!!!

[Smartypants]

LOL! :D

[lapietra]

I got some lovely cards from Daver, Coffee and :eek: Dr. Smoothie!

Thank you all kindly. :)

[Spicy Jack]

*static*

*beep*

ATTENTION ALL MONKEYS!

I repeat: ATTENTION ALL MONKEYS!

This is your daily reminder to get your arses in gear and give me your e-mail addresses.

I'd also like to take this time to extend a warm 'Thank You' to those timely, efficient, monkeys that have already done so.

Have a great day!

*beep*

Oh and, "blue light special in Aisle 9."

[Coffee]

I got a card from the entertainment capital of the South.

Thanks Dr. Smooth!!!

[Spicy Jack]

I had mail for like a week straight and got so excitied and use to it, that now I am upset when I don't get anything. :( Must we go through this everytime!

[melissa]

I went to the post office on Saturday around 3pm to buy postcard stamps... Stupid heads close at 2. I was so pissed.

[Spicy Jack]

Yeah, the post office is like the bank. It is never open. There hours are the same hours I work. Who is sending mail? Only jobless people? It is crazy.

[red]

Thanks Dr. Smoooooth! I loved your postcard.

[red]

hell, why not order a stamp?

"Wish you were here. Having a great time."

It could work for everyone.

[priceyfatprude]

I'm seriously considering it AFTER MY SPARKLY GREEN PEN DIED HALFWAY THROUGH THE CARDS!!!!! :mad:

[trisherina]

Willow, you'll be getting some dvds soon... I chickened out and put my old address as the return, so don't send anything back to there. :D And then I didn't even have to make out a declaration sticker!

Melissa, look out for an unusual postcard in the mail soon!

[melissa]

YOOHOO!!!

DrSmooth!!

Thanks for the postcard! It was special delivered to me in it's very own envelope which had printed on one side:

"Dear Valued Postal Customer:
I want to extend my sincere apology as your Postmaster for the enclosed document that was enadvertently damaged in handling by your Post Office.

We are aware how important your mail is to you. With that in mind, we are forwarding it to you in an expeditious fashion.

The U.S. Postal Service handles over 202 billion pieces of mail each year. While each employee makes a concerted effort to process, without damage, each piece of mail, an occasional mishap does happen.

We are constantly working to improve our processing methods so that these incidents will be eliminated. You can help us greatly in our efforts if you will continue to properly prepare and address each letter or parcel that you enter into the mailstream.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding and sincerely regret any inconvenience that you have experienced.

Your Postmaster"

The postcard was mangled, then repaired with tape. It looks pretty funny, like a cute puppy with it's leg bandaged.

Thanks for the card, Dr Smooth!!

[Smartypants]

Well, Mr Brown-nosing Postmaster has yet to apologize to ME for not delivering ANY of the 15 postcards I mailed from Massachusetts two weeks ago!

:mad: :mad: :mad:

:mad: :mad: :mad: 15 out of 15 of 'em not delivered? That's a pretty bad average! I'd be pretty irritated. :eek:

[melissa]

I'd be raising hell!!

[Avalon]

I am married to a postal employee. A few months ago, I found these great, oversized postcards that took 37 cent stamps. They were awesome. My hsb. told me they would never get delivered. I didn't listen and mailed them anyway. None of them got delivered :( And I hand picked a card for everyone on the list at that time.

Great..now I am pissed off all over again.:mad:

[Spicy Jack]

I think Lala is the only one that successfully delivered oversized postcards. Maybe she has got an "in" with the USPS!?

[Frieda]

when is a postcard oversized?

[Spicy Jack]

regular is 6 inches x 4.25 inches

[lapietra]

I don't think *all* my postcards got delivered... just the ones who went to people with really nice postpeople... ;)

[Spicy Jack]

Alright! That is it then! Start leaving yummy treats and nice letter FOR the postperson. Tell them how great they are. Decorate your mail box for them. Thank them for all the hard work they have been doing!

[priceyfatprude]

Originally posted by Spicy Jack

[Smartypants]

I've mailed oversized cards before with 37¢ stamps, but these were your standard-issue tourist postcards.

It leads one to believe that all those slots at the post office that read Local, Out Of Town, Metered Mail, International, etc., all drop into the same garbage can on the other side of the wall. :rolleyes:

It does REALLY steam me! I mean, look how long it took to get off my ass and send something. Now, who KNOWS how long it will be before I get around to mailing the next batch!

[lapietra]

I've yet to replace the sparkly green pen. I think that's on the agenda for today, actually.

[Avalon]

It isn't your mail person; it is in the machinery the post office uses to sort mail. I have had this speech given to me numerous times (like any time I bitch about this). All of our lovely, well thought out cards, are in the dead letter box.:mad:

[priceyfatprude]

(after all these years you must be sick of hearing that, but I couldn't help myself)

[Avalon]

Tis true tho!:D

[joppa.gal]

I just sent letters to
Spicy Jack,
Audrey,
Aimee,
Rob,
Blackburn.....


wheeewwwwww.

I'm lettered out. That was fun.

[Spicy Jack]

Make $$$ Easy!

Long Beach USPS sucks big time. I have already had to go down to the post office and raise holy hell for them losing 2 packages that were sent to me. If you are feeling lucky/unlucky and you want to do a bit of gambling, all you have to do is send me an insured package for a mere $3.20 and there is a good chance they will lose the package and you will win $100. It's not a sure bet, but it is pretty damn close. :(


farkingmailservicepieceofshitgrumble

[Coffee]

heh, sounds like a decent money making idea Spicy.

Lets send something insured...ahem... "valued at $100.00" back and forth tilll it gets lost and then collect the insurance...something cheap and light that will take minimum postage.

[Audreyvgs]

LikE THE LOTTERY!!!!

[Spicy Jack]

We could let Funknut address it so the post people couldn't read it for sure :p

[Smartypants]

I understand from my mother that I was left on my parents' doorstep by their mailman at the time. She told this to me numerous times. (Although, now that I think about it, I remember she only seemed to tell me that when she was angry. And sometimes she'd tell me it was the milkman, not the mailman...)

[Spicy Jack]

Woo! I grabed a handful of free postcards at the swapmeet over the weekend. A lady next too me gave me a dirty look and pointed me out to her friend commenting on the large stack of postcards that I swiped. Luckily I got exactly 30! They clearly look and smell *FREE* for that matter. AWESOME!


Now I just have to fill them out and send them...

[daverbee]

Having come home lately to one huge bill after another along with the usual plethora of junk mail, I will look forward to a postcard, Spicy.
Thanks in advance!

[ally]

been meaning to thank daver for two & dr smooth for one card recently, still busy being skint & hectic, will get round to sending more, maybe xmas cards this time!

[daverbee]

Christmas cards from France! That would be super nice!
And, yer welcome and good to see yer OK!
How's university going?

[ally]

it's going well thanks, but i'm up at 4:30 most days & don't get home till 7 pm (5hrs travelling to get to uni every day), leo's going to start school in jan as i'm not happy with the childminder, long story, but i think school will di him good, the classes are very small & there's a special little kids person there too, just for the real small people!

[daverbee]

Both of you in school. That's kinda cool, isn't it?
You can help each other with your homework!:D

[Coffee]

And I got another from daverbee...I made the 3 stamps left random drawing...whooo hooo.

Thank you sir.

[Avalon]

Yessss! I too bow down to the "GQ of the AH." Favorite mail of the week, Aud. :D

[Spicy Jack]

I dropped some more PCs in the box. If you feel guilty - THEN GOOD! I haven't heard from some of you in months, and some of you never...not that i am keeping track.

Yea for Mail!

[daverbee]

I will look forward to a nacho stained postcard! :D
Speaking of which, the cafeteria is serving chicken fajitas today. Think I'll go get a plate...

[Spicy Jack]

No nachos stains this time.... just blood, sweat, and tears.

[daverbee]

Oh, you're addressing them at work?

[Spicy Jack]

hahaha...yes. and "wish you were here!" just chokes me up everytime. :p


and puuulllleeezzzzz, i lick the nacho cheese off - NO CHEESE LEFT BEHIND! That is my stand.

[Zaftig]

Dav~ Yet another cool postcard!!! THANK YOU!

Sim and I really need to get our butts in gear! :D

[melissa]

I did it!! Actually got some postcards in the mail today and I'll do the rest tonight and mail them tomorrow!!

[Zaftig]

Sometimes we get mail in a timely manner. . . other times we eventually get it and other times. . .we say a year later "You sent us something??" We haven't had the latter happen in a LOOONG time though. *crosses fingers*

[melissa]

Let me know if you get a card from me, Zaftig...

[Zaftig]

Of course! I always hop in here when I get mail cause I'm so excited! :)

[priceyfatprude]

Thank you Aud!

Thank you joppa!


Sent some out today, will send more later.

[priceyfatprude]

Shite.


Dear anonymous Monkey who gave me their address over the telephone a few weeks ago:

Just found your postcard on the floor of my car. (Don't ask) I do still love you, and will send it out tomorrow.

[Smartypants]

You actually FOUND something in that car!?

Hahahahahaha!!! :p :p :p

[Smartypants]

Um... did you find MY postcards?

[melissa]

Trisher and Lil Rat! Thanks so much, this really did make my day. It's nice that the crappiness of work can be reduced by a child's drawing and a sweet note! Thanks, again dears!

[trisherina]

Aw. It was just that I wanted to run a child labour sweatshop, but getting Ratlet to make a postcard was the most I could stomach. :D

[melissa]

Well, thanks to both of you. I appreciate it so much.

[daverbee]

Found a very nice letter with some very unique images in it from joppa.gal yesterday!
I look forward to seeing your website after it's built!
Thanks!
I'll PM you when I have a chance!

[melissa]

Another handful of postcards were dropped in the box this morning!! Keep an eye out for them!!

[priceyfatprude]

If you are on the list & do not receive a postcard from me with a pic of Spicy Jack on it within the next week, PM me please, I ran out, but sent out what I had.

Now I can't remember who got one & who didn't. :(

[Spicy Jack]

:confused: now, uh, what?

[priceyfatprude]

I'm sorry sweetie. That last webcam shot was so cute I had to use it.

[daverbee]

Uh, oh!
Trouble on the horizon? Are you two in need of a referee?

***************

Got two cards today! One from Melissa with a beautiful waterfall and one from pfp without the beautiful Spicy Jack on it!
Thanks for both!

[Spicy Jack]

:D I GOT MAIL TOO! Thanks Pricey!

[priceyfatprude]

So what was it like, opening the mailbox & seeing your pic??? hahahaha

[Klynne]

Thanks Spicey and PFP. I am so bad, I have not sent cards in ages. Must buy cards for all you monkeys!

[Coffee]

I got Pfp's Spicy card. Very cute piccy of the Spicer.
You said in a pm that you sent another, it never made it. I bet the monkey mail system was the straw that broke the USPS's back.

And I got a Rosebowl Flea market card from Spicy on friday or thursday...sorry for the late update. It was a bit on the musty side...BUT FREE...so coolness.

Thanks ladies.

<3 U both.

I am just glad it was *that* picture ... ;)

[Smartypants]

I got two cards -- one from Spicy, and the other from both Spicy AND Peef-pea from Spicy's latest Midwest vacation. On one side above her cute little picture, Spicy scrawled a note telling me what a great time she was having in Wisconsin, and Peef used the other side to write a personal message to me.

I assume that Peef-pea took the photo of SJ (a candid shot with her open maw chock full of her cheesy lunch) but noticed that in her note to me, she didn't even MENTION Spicy, so I am not sure if the two of them had a good time when they got together.

Perhaps Spicy didn't find the documentation of her dairy-related gluttony flattering. Personally, I think she's being modest, because even with her whiskers stained with cheddar, she appears cute as a button.

[rapscalious rob]

Got a postcard from SJ with some very funny commentary, and a giggle-inducing one from PFP, and an aesthetically-pleasing letter from joppa gal.

:D :D :D :D :D :D

Damn I should start sending some stuff out. The day of the dorky dracula approacheth.

[Coffee]

eeeek...3 cards I THOUGHT I sent turned up under a stack of stuff by my door. Sorry Smarty, Mel and Rob...they are going out today.

Along with 10 more I did last night, ALL of them with personal messages to each of the recipients, because I really did have a great time writing them, and I really did wish all of you could have been there. :D :D

[melissa]

Stop smoking the herb, Coffee!! Get those cards in the mail!!

Post cards being sent out soon! They are the exact same ones Spicy posted in some other thread long ago.

[Smartypants]

Hey, Coffee, thanks! Your postcard just slipped out of a stack of bills I have been avoiding, making that particular stack of mail considerably more palatable!

:D

Meanwhile, I have mortgaged my home to buy more stamps, which I am planning to take to Florida at the end of the week to report to you all from the poll-watching frontlines. (Although now I understand that the frontlines have moved to Ohio -- perhaps the reporting you hear will be only of incidental skirmishes, and I will be spared witness to the bloodiest electoral warfare.)

If it were a bit closer, I was going to suggest you, Audrey, and I get together and save 23 cents each on postage! ;)

[rapscalious rob]

The server would like to send you a cookie.

[rapscalious rob]

hehehe. the cookie thing just gave me a really cool idea. :D

[Aphrodite]

I got three postcards on Friday!

Coffee's dreamy coastal pic
PFP's Pic of Spicey's cheesey grin
and
Spicey's free postcard.

It was a real treat to find them. :)

[Willow Sylph]

I'm a b@stard. I've received a lot of postcards in the past week, and I have bought about thirty with the intention of mailing them out over a month ago. I'll get to it soon. I promise!


Well, maybe I shouldn't go so far as to promise. But I give you all my word that I'll think about trying to mail them out one of these days. How's that? :)

[Smartypants]

*hypocritically shakes angry fist at Willow Sylph and shouts, "Bastard!"*

:p

[Willow Sylph]

:D I've got a postcard with your name written on it, too!

[Spicy Jack]

THANKS AVVY!!!!!!!! Lurved the card!

[Coffee]

Uggghhh...I got this "yaaay another card" thrill when I opened my mail box tonight...it was just a card sized advertizement. :(

I need consoling...send me a card Willow or Smarty...you lazy b&stards.

[imdrsmooth]

I can't wait to get back to the apartment!

[sparticle]

I really suck. Here I am in Boston during the Series and all I'll probably do is kick myself for not making time to send anything.

Hey! I know what! I'll start a list of all the amazing places from which I'm too goddamn lazy or selfish to send everybody a postcard. It ought to be a really cool list! :rolleyes:

[priceyfatprude]

HAHAHAHAHAA

Got a Halloween card from avvy that made me LOL & snort in the post office lobby in front of all the little mailmen going home.

Also thank you to Coffee for the beautiful card. No sorting for yours. :)

[Audreyvgs]

Geez, I drove like 4000 miles to go see Dinz, Red and Peef, do you think I'd blow off the 90 or so to ft L? hahahahhahhaa


I didnt know them either!

[Zaftig]

OK, Spicy Jack, I had no right to put you in the doghouse in the first place for no reason seeing as how I GOT A CARD FROM YOU TODAY!!! WOOHOO!
Thanks! :)

[Spicy Jack]

I WANT MAIL! I get spoiled and use to it ... then is is so depressing when I get nothing. NOTHING!!!! *sigh*

My fridge is postcardlicious. mmmm...licious.....

[melissa]

Zaftig, did you get mine?

[Zaftig]

Melissa, not yet.

SJ, have no fear, I'll save the day, one's going to be on it's way! :D

[melissa]

I hope you get it, I only put 1 regular postcard stamp on it. If you never get it I'll send another one and smother it in postage to make sure!

[Spicy Jack]

Reminder *ding*

dem canadians need 37cent postage on postcards and 80 cents on regular mail.

[melissa]

Crap. I don't think you'll get it. I'll send another!

You will all be getting a postcard from Orlando in about 3 weeks. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[trisherina]

Congratulations, pfp! Hope the outcome is all you wish for.

[daverbee]

Got a postcard from the Country Music Capitol sent to me by the smoothest of Docs!
Thanks! And I'm beginning work on making my fridge a postcard haven tomorrow night!
Thanks for the idea, Spicy! Beats a scrapbook and it'll free up a lot of room on top of my dresser.

[Zaftig]

DUDE! Melissa! I got your postcard when I stopped at the post office tonight! With a bill for .58 cents!!! HAHA!! I had to send a package and they told me I owe them .58 cents for insufficient funds on a postcard! I gladly forked it over because I thought it was nice that they still send it and it doesn't end up in postcard pergatory. This is just Karma trying to tell me that I've been getting and not giving.

So I will be sending out postcards!
Oh, and Thanks Melissa! Tis a beautiful postcard!

Oh Zaftig I'm so glad you got it!! I should send you a check for 58 cents!! Now I know for next time! What great service from your post office though!! That makes me so happy!!

Thank you to the dynamic duo. "I've spent many hours helping two lonely nerds find happiness" --paraphrasing from Clueless. But you are welcome. *smooch*

[Coffee]

Thanks for a couple of cards I got recently.

And thank you to my SF GBF. *smooch*

[Zaftig]

I finally sent out a bunch of postcards. I still have more to go though. :)

[daverbee]

Got a nice Halloween card from Avvy!
Now I wanna hear "That Old Black Magic".
Maybe sung by Louis Prima while somebody hands me a $50 bill!
But, alas, it won't happen...

[Spicy Jack]

i just got Coffee's coffee. OMG! :D :D :D It smells sooooooooo good. I am tempted to forego sleep and make a cup....hmmmm.......

[melissa]

Coffee!! Coffee in the mail!! Thanks Coffee! I'm so excited to have my very own custom roasted, personally blended bag of beans. I feel so lucky. I really appreciate the time you took to do that for me (and the other lucky monkeys!).

What do you want from Portland?

Friendship, respect, and kindness. But you have given me those already...so we're good. Enjoy the Joe sweetie.

<3

[Willow Sylph]

Coffee - So in addition to knowing how to sew and make Ren Faire garb, you also custom roast and personally blend bags of beans... what else can you do? What CAN'T you do?

[Coffee]

ummm...can do: drywalling, framing, roofing, electrical work, plumbing, auto repair, cat claw trimming, grind telescope mirrors, make jams and jellies, bake; breads, cakes, pies, cookies, torts and tarts, play; flute, saxophone (learning), and harmonica, and I'm waiting on my first homemade batch of Kahlua to "age"....errr....the list does go on...

My parents told me I can do ANYTHING I want to do...so far they are right....except for learning guitar, chords fvck me up...I prefer linear instruments (one linear that is...guitars have multiple linears going on). I'm thinking of applying energy to the idea of aquiring and learning stand up Bass though...I think I could do that.

and, I assume that I can't succesfully run for public office...poor athiest hippies are NOT electable. :(

I'm in heaven!!

XOXOXOXO Thank you kind sir!!!!

[Coffee]

MMmmmmm Mocha.
Let me know what you think. :)

Stick your nose in that bag o' beans...OMG it has the most amazing aroma. I wish it tasted like that.

[madasacutsnake]

torts and tarts, play; flute,

This one time, at band camp....

Oh never mind. Speed reading again.

[daverbee]

I have some of Coffee's Java!
Haven't opened it up yet as the aroma coming out of that package is so nice I don't want to disturb it yet. Will probably have a cup bfore heading to Orlando today, though.
Thank you, beatnik!

[Aphrodite]

I have in my hot little hand:

2 Count 'em TWO postcards from Tennessee
One from Dr. Smooth and one from Dr. Smooth and Spicey
:D :D

I also got one from Salem!
I will go to Salem. I will go to Salem.

Thanks you guys! They really brightened my day!

[melissa]

Zaftig & Simage! Thanks for the lovely card from Alberta! I bet it doesn't look like that now, huh?

[Zaftig]

WOW! That was quick! Yeah, it's SNOW SNOW and MORE WHITE POOP here. It has it's own beauty. I'm so glad you got it! :)

[melissa]

Me too, Zaftig. It really made my day.


I should take a picture of my cube to show all the cards displayed so nicely. It has really made my work space more pleasant.

[Spicy Jack]

"Oh Canada"

Whaa?? Did you EAT them?! They're probably stale by now, anyway. (Hell, they were stale when I sent them.) You better send something else. But at least forward the original mail packaging with your added personalization. UNLESS YOU THREW THAT AWAY!!

<--- never trusting a monkey again with important responsibilities.

:shakes fist and makes constipated phooey noises:

[Avalon]

Whooo hooo!! I got a great card from Zaf and Sim:) Thank you!!!

I didn't eat them but I am not giving them to anyone else, either. They're MINE! All MINE! And they are from YOU. I am not parting with them.

I bought new ones (which are probably now stale). I was rather surprised to find them. They had a lunch variety. Very cool.

I do still have the original packaging, unless Felix Unger, aka Mr. Spart, got ahold of it and threw it out. (Over the years, he has thrown away a $700 check from a tenant, a driver's license, a set of car keys, autographed baseball cards and a brand new pair of shoes, among other famous discards).

The Irish also say "true that". NOT "true dat", but "true that."

The Irish also use "be" a lot.

"Don't be talkin'." "I be thinkin' on it." "There they be!"

It gives one pause, I suppose....

Mo'fo' is simply my own vulgar adoption of local custom. Every mo'fo' thing in the mo'fo' world, every mo'fo and their mo'fo mama, is subject in this city and nothing is safe from the ubiquitous and universal modifier, "mo'fo'." Not a mo'fo' thing, I tell ya.

[daverbee]

Apparently now that zaf and sim have a bed, they aren't just counting sheep, they're counting bighorn sheep!
Or is that Big Horny Sheep?;)

The woman speaks in tongues! Come on, Sparty! You're titillating the curiosity of those who are not bilingual! Me! Psh. ;)

[Willow Sylph]

By the by, Sparticlees, Ava, Spicy, Dinz, Pricey, and Rap, you should be receiving monkey mail very soon!
As for the rest of you's, I am still looking for the pc's I already bought specifically for you.
Zaf and Sim, is your address on the monkey mailing list?? I don't think I saw it.

[Coffee]

Update.
Daver's bread did in fact arrive yesterday. The tardy UPS system caused it to arrive "not quite fresh". But...the bread passed the test of truly good bread, it had great flavor despite being somewhat on the dry side. Excellent baking Daverbee. I'll be using most of it to make breaded onion rings and stuff, though a couple of slices out of the middle are still quite eatable as is. Thank you very much Daverbee. :)

[red]

You could always make French toast out of it. You need slightly stale bread so it really soaks up the batter. At least that's what AB says.

ok, i'm having a very difficult time eating the BEST french toast EVER cuz I'm still laughing at Smarty's BEST post EVER in the what i look like seriously thread.

Yes, Great call Red.

[daverbee]

I think I'll have French Toast for dinner tonight...

[Smartypants]

I think I'm going to have some right now. I've worked up quite an appetite after my workout in the What I Look Like thread this morning.

[daverbee]

Had French Toast for dessert last night. Ended up on a maple syrup high that lasted 'til around 1:00 am...
Yes, it was worth it!

Thanks to the lovely Deev I now have a postcard of the Seattle skyline adorning my fridge door!

Today I would like to thank Peefers and Willow for their beautiful postcards!

[Coffee]

You're very welcome Aphrodite :) .

So much for 4-6 day delivery though. :(

I actually used the matching/remaining "Avalon/Aphro Mocha beans" this morning. It's still pretty good, though at a day over 2 weeks old, it isn't at it's peak, use it up asap.

OK, three accounted for pc receiver's. I sent out like 8. I hope they all find homes.
