2014 Advent Package Train ~Start Opening Dec 1~

[Momto2Ks]

I think I am gonna jump on too. LOVE the Advent train. Will work on my Wishlist and have it sent in by tomorrow.

Not currently or conducting any trains.

I have read and understand all the “Package Train Rules/Guidelines" I understand if I do not follow the guidelines my name will be added to the consequence list in the sticky.

Guys can you double check the info you sent me. I will PM you individually but last names are preferable for sending packages (CP can flag stuff without names) some addresses are incomplete

[new2sc]

I'm gonna join! I will request a seat and send wishlist later tonight. I am excited to see how many people are joining!

Are people being very specific about items on their wishlist or vague?

I would say mine is a mix of both. Hope that helps!!

Just a reminder that boarding closes tomorrow night!
I hope to sort out buddies on Saturday

While I have the attention of some of the more active SCers...
anyone interested in taking over the produce deals thread? There is a small payment for it

[FallenPixels]

I'm still thinking of it ! I just want to make sure I have enough time to commit to it between the kids and new job. I did enjoy last year's!

I'm interested in doing this but I have a couple of questions. 1) Do you have to be on other trains at the moment to qualify to participate in this one? 2) How does our "buddy" get decided, is it random? 3) Is there a link to other years threads on this? It would be fun to look through and see what other people got sent other years Thanks!

Thinking about participating, but was wondering if anyone that has participated in the past could tell me approx how much I'd be looking to spend? Lots of people to buy for Xmas, so just want to make sure it fits in the budget

im so tempted but so broke for now i will just be peeping

Ohhhhhh, so darn tempting!!! I've been away for too long and this would be a great way to come back! Do I or don't I...

….lurking….stalking….deciding… only one request if I DO join…Id REALLY like to suggest we do the December 13th GAG gift like we did last year? That was pretty darn funny!!

If temptation has got the better of you guys, make sure you sign up by tomorrow night. I have a crazy day tomorrow so will not be checking in until evening but I am sure the reg train riders can answer any questions you have

I'm trying to do a mix for mine. I find that vague is often stressful when shopping - for me anyway, so I try to give a less specific option without being too elusive!

Most times I also include a little intro / about me paragraph with my wishlist so that my buddy knows a little more about me.

I have some of both but family is EXTREMELY picky so i would hate to receive something we cant or wont use.

[army_girl29]

I have been very specific with my wishes but I think that most of my wishes can be purchased for under $5 if the person looks for sales. Targets 70% off deals seem to be on everything these days. I was shocked to see so many household, accessories and clothes on for the cheap.

TTYL guys! Have a good night!

so how about we start to get to know each other while we (impatiently) wait for our buddy's name?

what is everyone's biggest pet peeve?
if you can't pick one (like me) pick a few!

for the sake of balance, what makes you all most happy?
again, you can pick more than one thing.

my biggest pet peeves - inconsiderate people, when people litter, over use of acronyms, most catch phrases - and many more.
what makes me most happy - my kids, kindness, pleasant people, good music - and many more

[couponteen101]

Hmmmm...

My biggest pet peeve would be impolite people... I also don't really like when be swear unnecessarily. (To me it's never really necessary, but I understand that it slips out in certain cases)... Ohhhh I also can not stand when people watch movies during a lecture! It is hard enough to focus.

what makes me happy? So much! My family, my friends, my life, love, reading....I could go in forever, but I shall spare you.

Knuckles cracking, idiot drivers, inconsiderate neighbours ( I live in a 4-plex and have 1 right next door who drives me crazy!), When ppl tell me to "get over it", Im not that kind of person. i have a bad habit of dwelling on things

for the sake of balance, what makes you all most happy?
again, you can pick more than one thing.

my kids (when behaving), music ( my life would be empty without it, its gotten me through ALOT in my life. I swear I should be working as a producer or something!), shopping, snowmen ( i have a huge fetish!!!!) and much more just cant think right now
