Okay, I'm still working on some of the other gifts, but I need
suggestions. What should be given to some of the other NG members...
Charles Delaware Troll, Guy, Ghost of Sarah Collins, pansyfaye, Thomas
Shaw, SirPJ, Jenny, GhostWriter, Nat and Al, Henry, Va., Scarlett (
well, I know what she wants, but lets get the input of others), Meg A.,
Nyssa & Cugan? I know I must be missing someone, whom? (((Diva))) what's
on your list?
I am still fairly new here so I wouldn't expect to be on your list...but you
are missing a number of other regulars such as Villarpeters, KenLondon, and
Karen(racebo) to name a few...I am sure there are several others....
What a great present!!! I have always wanted one! AND, its hardly got any
songs in it so I can put my collection of 45's in it. Then those people at
the Blue Whale will have something to dance to. Beach Boys here I
come................

Deb, who is very pleased to be receiving Evan's book collection. : )

No, I remembered you, but I had already sent the post. (And, no, I don't tell
that to everyone.) What is your Christmas wish from the DS gang? How about a
beautiful music box? Barnabas has crates of them for all his chosen ones.
A unique hickey by one of the DS resident vamps (take your pick).

That would be lovely or since I am a nurse, maybe Julia's

How about you..since you are an artist..a portrait from
Collinwood?(Josette..perhaps) or Sam's paintbox

Quentin, Barnabas, Chris, Maggie, Carolyn, Vicky, or any of the various ghosts or
props.

That could be a risky gift. She might sneak some personal possession from you
to use later on her doll collection. But, if you want to take the risk, you
only have to sign a paper saying you won't hold Santa responsible for any
mishaps. Enjoy! :)

Plenty of stethoscopes to go around. A back room in Wyndcliffe has
gazillions of them. Would you like a nice hypnotic medallion, also?

That is awesome...I bet the show was great...I have only recently rediscovered
DS, so all these years I had no idea that Mr. Frid put on shows or that there
were even DS conventions...I was slow to use the internet, and now that I
started to get on the web...I can't stop...I have to make up for lost time
OOOh yes..... good idea...forgot about that..maybe I can
use it to hypnotize my kids into cleaning their rooms... ;-)

Which one of those would you like?
1. Richard Dawson.
2. Tim Curry.
3. A Hermes scarf for post-rendezvous with Barnabas.
4. (last but far from least) My brother's elbows with big red bow tied
around them!

I think we'll have to clone the grandfather clock. Jeanannd's had dibbs on it
forever! The family history is no problem since there seem to be lots of
versions lying around - take your pick! And... of course... we have ways of
creating a great variety of vampires. Send my your specifications, and I'll
talk to Barnabas.

Imagine how I felt when I cam back to the truck and saw poor ole SoaS looking up at me,
waiting for me to put him out of his misery. I glady obliged.
I went to the Post Office to see if they had any of those SoaS lollipops left, but alas,
eveyone gobbled them up at Halloween !
Joe
That's the story you're hoping we'll believe. You know darn well he was
giving you the "eye" hoping to scare you off of eating him. If he'd still
only had two eyes left it coulda worked.

ROFL....I don't know Joe, all I can think of for poor ole SoaS who is about to
get eaten is him making a sound like Mr. Bill ....OOOOH NOOOO...like when Mr.
Hand used to flatten him....
I really like it too, I worked part time nights at a hospital and then days in
Administration, I also had children home with me for the past 10 years, so I
had very little spare time. I started to work out of my house this summer and
both my children are in school, so I finally have time in the morning to relax
and watch a little TV, and DS on the Sci Fi channel..Yea!!!

He actually held on for a few days, but I was on the road, hungry, and if he had
gotten any funkier looking, he probably would have been filling one of the
infamous Massachusetts potholes instead of helping send my dentists son to
college !
Gonna have to find out the name brand of those ! I do remember them being in a
purple bag...
The Post Office guy still had a bunch of PoaS (Pumpkins on a stick). Yuck.
Only good for batting practice !

Like I said, Barnabas has crates of those music boxes. Just look how many he
gave away on DS. "Oh, another pretty woman. Let me go down to Braithwaite's
and have him make another music box to give away."
That's what they all say: "It was me or him." The poor little SoaS. I feel sorry for
him.
Of course, you know what happens next - Night of the Living Skulls. You will be
peaceably visiting the post office... and they will start jumping out of their
purple bags. They will chase you all around the PO. You'll lure them into a PO Box,
but you won't be able to close the door. There are just too many of them. In all the
confusion, you drop your Chevy keys. What can you do? You think and think... aha you
remember. You hold them off until daylight, then you force them into an innocent,
unlocked car. You close the car door, and they melt. Exhausted, you go back into the
PO. You ask the clerk to help you find your keys. Being a kind clerk, he readily
agrees and offers you a lollipop from another purple bag he has just opened...

Sounds more like our slippery Jason McGuire, trying to fence some
stolen property. Did he say the goods "fell off the back of a truck"?

Very fitting! Maybe Angelique should've tried a crowbar whack on Josette. :)
The only one he never gave "Josette's Music Box" to was Josette herself. He'd
planned to, but never had the chance.

Whilst I am not the Julia of whom YOU speak, Mistress Karen of the Racebc,
I well recall one such Holiday (we DO have similar festivals on this side of the
Time boundary) when I found it necessary to give dear Morgan some laudanum to
control HIS manly pursuit of several extremely handsome young male guests
darling Gabriel brought home from boarding school.
It was exceedingly necessary, as my adorable dark-haired nephew, intoxicated on
spiked eggnog (I suspect golden-mained Gabby of this deed), ran amok in naught
but swaddling clothes, (scanty enough on someone nearly 6-feet-tall), with a
wreath about his head, shouting gleefully, "Yoh, dudes, the first one to pluck
my holly berries gets to see my Yule Log!"
My brother Justin was absolutely useless to discipline the boy. He was nuzzling
one of the young maids, confirming that SHE was the Woman in White who regularly
appeared in his private study--- his wife Flora sacked the slut the day after
Christmas. Flora herself was worn out, fending off the attentions of the
slobbery Headley Stokes. Gabriel and Quentin were busy sneaking shots of the
tainted eggnog, and young Bramwell was cleaning up after poor little Melanie,
who had just gotten sick on the stuff.
So I (not sought by ANY person of the opposite gender, though Josette Collins
was giving me the eye, when it became obvious that Justin was ignoring her) had
to intervene. I ran to the EMERGENCY--- DO NOT BREAK OPEN EXCEPT AFTER A NIGHT
IN BRUTUS'S ROOM cabinet, smashed the glass (ouch!) and grabbed the special
reserve of opiates. These I poured swiftly into Morgan's eggnog cup (I had to
slap Melanie away when, emptied of her previous round, the brat wanted a
refill.) Soon, Morgan, who had been singing of "Lords a-leaping" (onto his
manly person), swooned, and was carried off to bed, QUITE alone. He didn't
awaken until New Year's Day!
Oh, for those long-ago days of Blissful Family Holidays!

Hmmm, that's a horse of a different color, I have to tell you..... IF he were

Ah, time after time. Dr. Hoffman apparently has read the diaries of the
parallel Julia Collins and developed an understanding of the best way to handle
the Collins men.

You must try bribing Lily with some Coffee Crisp chocolate bars. This may
be a possible weakness..... (heh, heh, heh!!!)

LOL! Under normal circunstances, that MIGHT work, but Quentin is better than
chocolate, of any kind.....
Better than chocolate??? No man is better than chocolate!! ;-)
