I'm enjoying following this. Let me say that I didn't send it and certainly didn't give out your address, however I would ck out the value. Maybe could trade it for
gift cards. Good luck in tracking down the jokester!
It's too late!
It's playing in my computer's CD drive as we speak.
The
amazing generosity of NTT members (
including yourself) truly boggles the mind. I am genuinely humbled by all the gifts... but people must realize that despite my current
"laid-off-and-struggling-to-get-business-off-ground" state, the
OLD MEMBER is simply not one to accept gifts unilaterally without
somehow and eventually reciprocating in kind. This is starting to pose a problem as the old Dougster sucks down his gift
Starbucks ... out of his gift
Mahindra cup... while reading his gift welding books... and playing his gift M.J. CD set in the background... while pondering the authenticity and value of his autographed M.J. photo... all while preparing to have the old Edster buy me dinner again!!!
I hope you folks can see where this is going.
The old Dougster is beginning to feel the strain of embarrassment with this "riches in friends" and the corresponding desire...
indeed, personal need... to repay all of you in kind someday.
It's terrible to have to put it this way, but I need to have y'all stop sending these nifty surprise gifts... the valuable, the helpful, the enjoyable, the tasty... and even the dubious... until the Dougster can at least
begin to catch-up himself on appropriate responses to all these wonderful friends.
Despite dirt poverty, a charity case the old Dougster has never been and is not now. But until I find success and/or win that lottery and can repay the generosity of all the wonderful folks here...
PLEASE no more of them nifty (and expensive!) surprises in the old Dougster's mailbox.
That
necessarily being said... we will return to the
mystery of the M.J. photo and CD set forthwith!
