We're all adults here, driving BMWs (or race SUVs) which we've presumably purchased for ourselves. We should be able to govern ourselves properly and follow the rules. There will be inequities between present recipients and present givers. That's life. If you're in this to receive a present, you've missed the point.

With regards to shipping out of NA... maybe just log onto Amazon.(enter country) and purchase from there. Then shipping isn't an issue. Or like Lups said, shipping USPS to just about anywhere isn't very expensive and only requires about a 15 to 20 min stop at the post office. If it cost too much to ship, send me a PM and i'll paypal you some cash to help get it shipped.

I can hear it now.... "This isn't your personal post office! Do you think you own this place?!?!"

THat is absolute WORST case scenario here though.

Seriously?? Way to be a sour puss about the whole thing... Yes you are onto Lups... This was her master plan all along... Nice try, Isis but EAL is onto you...

Guess you really saved us because I'm sure the thirty bucks or so from about 8 people will go so far as to overthrow the infidels once and for all...

We're all grown adults and know that there is a possibility that we might not get a gift in return or it might be a pair of edible thongs - who the fack cares? Christmas or the spirit of was always about giving not receiving...

Instead of worrying about someone not getting a gift (or in this case sounds more like you not receiving one) and worrying about accountability and if someone can't show proof be banned or whatever it is you spewed, here's a crazy notion; why don't you not play and worry about terror funds with actual embezzlement and money laundering cases? Because I feel that while you spent your time worried about THIS being a front for a terror operation, somewhere somehow, an actual terror organization was funded through Western Union or a wire transfer with a shell corporation or a facade behind charitable organizations just took place...

Anyways... Goodbye Lups... Enjoy Guantanamo Bay...

This thread is starting to sound like every family Christmas get together. Starts out all joyful and then turns to arguing and accusations. Come on people, this is about charity, the SS is only a small bonus.
Aw the holiday season has started

Hahaha! So true! Someone had too much to drink and then the arguing started

[shoei]

I... Just thought it was a ridiculous post... Although Lups is awfully quiet - maybe she already went into hiding now that she's been found out that she's a terror suspect??

You know, you could come and spend a Christmas with my family! We usually after ten minutes go back to our favorite subject of my dad dying and how everyone knows it was me not calling more drugs for him (cancer, he was unconscious at that point already, antibiotics could've given him an other day or two).

Then we enjoy a conversation about how turkey made by me just isn't the same after they have to fear for their lives.

It's really fun, do join me!

The sad thing is, I may be on my own for Christmas this year.

The goats are a solid idea. Out of all the animals that are easy to relocate and to produce more with, goats are probably the best. A cow for example is a huge investment and in the worst case, money lost.

I am a terror without my coffee, otherwise I am pretty kind person. Please don't send me to your camps.

Can I come up and spend it with you? I'd be willing to pay for the pleasure of not seeing my mom again.

We can have a dysfunctional BP NW family Christmas party. We used to have these all the time in the Military when we didn't go home for Christmas and other holidays.

Haha,merry Christmas to us all!

I truly try to make the holidays good for the kids. I buy one present per kid and I try to make sure they know the cultural aspects of the season and we prepare the food together.

" Anna you were so kind and gentle growing up, and we had such high hopes for you with your life. What happened to you?"

... And there we go, yet an other family Christmas launched!

Sounds like a cocky bastard. I bet he has really great legs, though...

Instead of gifts, maybe we can get together for a turkey dinner made by Lups. Then we can all bond through the trauma of food poisoning!

I'm in! We had a Secret Santa too back when I was on 8thcivic.com and we split the entries in 4 groups (western USA, central USA, eastern USA and Canada) to keep shipping costs down.

So my SS group would be Axius Mr Tonka and ASBSECU E93...... 66.6% chance of getting goat things, 33.3% chance of getting a framed ass photo. I'll take it.
