Another thing that put a big smile on my face happened a few days ago. I kept meaning to post about it but have been in and out and doing the Christmas busy-busy:

I got a card through my door saying the postie had tried to deliver a package that wouldn't fit through my letter box. I couldn't think what it might be...I hadn't ordered anything on ebay and everyone I know who might give me a Christmas gift would be likely to see me anyway and have no need to post......

Two days after, I was able to get over to the depot and collect said package. There was a parcel with a card in an envelope, adressed to DanaC & Pilau...envelope said to open that first, so that's what I did. The card had a picture of a cock(erel)...My camera is acting up so haven't been able to take any pics but here's what the card said:

"Contents:
. One LJ memorial knitted cock
. One naked cock (for Pilau)

Have a Great Christmas and may 2008 be your year! "

*grins* Inside the parcel there was indeed a knitted cock(erel) and there was indeed a naked cock (rubber cockerel, squeaky toy).

It was totally unexpected and completely made my day. I was over the moon. Pilau was too and had great fun destroying the naked cock and spreading bits of rubber about the living room carpet

I only wish I could have taken a photo of him in action, playing with his cock, so to speak :P

Merry Christmas LJ and Merry Christmas to all you dwellars. A finer bunch of friends I couldn't hope to meet. This place gives the lie to the idea that the internet is damaging sociability. Far from it. You're a wonderful bunch of people and I hope all of you have a truly wonderful Christmas (Hanukkah, Eid etc) and that 2008 brings good things to you all.

x Dani & Pilau

Oi Dana! Over Here!

Well... ours was a refurbished model, so it was only $100. And we already knew we had to buy a remote that could specifically be programmed to work with the MythTV box (i.e., a homemade TiVo,) which narrowed the field considerably.

And if you're already going to have to buy an expensive remote, might as well make it the most awesome one ever that can control all of your electronics so you never need another one again, right? Right?

Not having to pay for a DVR service means it already paid for itself long ago...

Love ya all, Merry Christmas (though two hours late, according to my time zone.)

Zippy, please can we have that spread labelled?
I think I've got most of it, but it looks like you have mini Cornish Pasties and that seems so unlikely I am having trouble believing my eyes.

Also I run out of condiments way before I can put a name to all of yours. Taramosalata?
