Christmas In July Package Train!!! Read Post 3242!!! (pg 217)

All jams and herbs will be greatly appreciated in my house.

I generally speak English, but before my morning coffee I speak gibberish

No to DH wearing ankle socks. He is beyond picky when it comes to his clothes.

[gwennad]

No DH here so no socks
I only speak English though working for the feds I should really learn some French. Maybe in a few years I have 20 or so left before I can retire lol. Lots of time!
Jam is good, though we don't eat it very often. And dried herbs are great, I try and use them when I'm cooking lol, though often it ends up just being garlic in the food.

[SassyAshley]

hmmmm I am very curious to see who thinks I am buying for them based on thread chatter lol !!!..... ok buddy if you have a dh or bf what size are their feet ? and do they where ankle socks ?

Me and my guy are not that stage yet, don't know his shoe size so he must buy his own socks (for now)

oh and besides English do you speak or read any other language ?

Nope, some days even English is too hard and have been known to ask if I can go home from work when I can no longer spell my own name lol (those are the bad days and usually after being in the office for 9+ hours).

[SassyAshley]

I've spent the last couple days making jam....and by the looks of my kitchen, I will still be at it for a couple days

buddy as an extra would you like any of these:
-blueberry jam
-blueberry lime jam
-strawberry banana jam
-strawberry rhubarb jam
-very berry jam (not sure if I offered this one awhile back)

I am also overrun with herbs from my garden at the moment -if you use any of these and would like some let me know, I will gladly include as extras
-dried chives
-dried oregano
-dried parsley
-dried basil
-dried sage
-dried dill

All of the above sound wonderful but must admit blueberry lime sounds amazing. All herbs are great in our house we go through them like you would not believe dill is a personal fav, just wish I could learn to grow it instead of killing it.

I read enough French to decifer my bosses letters and messages that come in from French units but no I'm just an English speaking girl.

We're not really big jam eaters, but I could use some of the blueberry lime, I'm thinking it would be awesome warmed up and poured on top of pancakes??

I'm currently growing oregano, basil and chives, but would love some dill and parsley!

Following up on some of the other questions;

- No to the Mattel thanks, no kidlets around here except for the "big" one!
- DBF wears ankle socks, he's a size 13. (Hmm... the biggest feet on the train?? Lol)
- I only speak English.. well, the BF says I have my own language when I get going I make up words.. I understand and read a bit of French and Italian.. likely enough to get by when travelling, but not really carry on a conversation. Reading is definitely much easier than listening..

[FallenPixels]

We are not big jam eaters (well I am not, he likes plainer stuff like berry/strawberry) but would love herbs
Since I included socks on my wishlist, I know who is not my buddy lol
English here too (enough French to decipher the stuff that comes into the office and I can curse in a few languages but I don't think that count).

[MeShell]

hmmmm I am very curious to see who thinks I am buying for them based on thread chatter lol !!!..... ok buddy if you have a dh or bf what size are their feet ? and do they where ankle socks ?

his feet are a 12/13....he does wear ankle socks sometimes

oh and besides English do you speak or read any other language ?

No, just English. I took French in school from Grade 5 through to Grade 12......but can't really remember much anymore, I could probably read/speak a lil if need be lol

I think so too!

[dlee]

hmmmm I am very curious to see who thinks I am buying for them based on thread chatter lol !!!..... ok buddy if you have a dh or bf what size are their feet ? and do they where ankle socks ?

my BF's size is 10-11. He doesn't wear ankle socks but actually he would love and appreciate a pack of plain white or black socks...the kind you get at costco in a pack I think.

oh and besides English do you speak or read any other language ?

I speak Cantonese and some Mandarin. I can read some Chinese characters but not completely fluent. =)

DH wears ankle socks size 11, black or white

oh and besides English do you speak or read any other language ?

What an interesting question! Ok here goes, we are a multi-cultural family =) I speak Cantonese, although my mom says not fluently because I've gotten lazy and insert too many English words into my sentences I also speak English, of course. I understand Vietnamese, Tagalog (Filipino; my DH's first language). I can read French as I took it for years however I've lost my ability to speak it fluently. I cannot read/write in any of the above languages except for French which I think I can still manage. My mom speaks 4 languages, my husband speaks 2 languages, my sister speaks 2 languages, my daughter speaks 3 languages (English, Cantonese & Tagalog), and my brother-in-law speaks 3 languages fluently (Polish/Vietnamese/& English). He immigrated from Poland as a child but is mixed Polish/Vietnamese. I find this really interesting because when my sister & him have children, I can see them speaking 4 languages! > Cantonese, Vietnamese, Polish & English. Wowsers!

[Jezebel]

Hubby - wears ankle socks with running shoes. White (accent colours are fine). Some manly size but not giant - like 10ish I think? I dunnom..I just get the size sock that goes up to 10-11 or whatever and he makes it work.

I speak Polish (my first language) but it's a little sketchy as is my French because I use them both so infrequently. Any kids books in Polish would be awesome (and French Robert Munsch books were on ny WL).

Jez - Ikea does a nice oak coloured door with glass fronts you can pick if the pricing isn't competitive from the other place you found.

I saw an add in the paper
