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

[SassyWife]

That means I am not your buddy...Let the guessing begin!

LoL, I have the opposite problem...... A buddy who is very girly.... I don't know how to shop for girly stuff

[cowgirlmama04]

LOL nope not trading my buddy, this shopping trip is going to be an adventure

[gwennad]

I'm browsing, I'll shop on Wednesday (payday) online and maybe in store shopping on Thursday. I'm feeling the need for a day off without the kid, so may take Thursday off. I like my buddy and kid buddy lists, I think I've got my plan, now to stick to it and not go overboard lol.

off topic - my sister is getting a puppy, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I have to laugh at her, I mentioned how she'll probably have to get up overnight with the puppy and she was surprised lol. Silly.

Answers - my fav colour is pink (it's on my list) kiddos is purple. He saw a pic of the puppy and said "aw so cute! but he's not purple?" lmao.
My whole list is stuff for me I haven't bought for myself lol.
And I'm trying to be more girly. I've been doing my nails and wearing makeup! Amazing. I put nail stuff on my list. But not make up cause I'm trying to figure out what I like. If you have a fav that'd be cool.

[slambert]

That's the case on this train. There are no riders that are sending to the same person that they're receiving from.

Armygirl messed with Slambert on the Pampered Ladies Train...that made me lol. Literally. It was super funny cause Slam was one of the last ones to receive her package, and she was all like "ohhhh...well, it could be Armygirl, but I dunno cause she said something about a dd and and and..." Armygirl and I thought that was funny. Silly Slam, thinking that people wouldn't be tricky tricky!



Hahaha - I'd suggest you switch but...not happening!

That was not nice!! LOL I would never have suspected the sweet and innocent Armygirl to be trying to fool me!! HA I guess she had me fooled, not so innocent

[CouponLadybird]

I think I am going to tag out and do some shopping tomorrow...DH is home, so he can keep manage the mayhem for a bit

LOVE both adult & kid buddy lists....adult buddy has a lot of of the same items I put on my list. Kid buddy is much like one of my DD so she will have fun "helping" put the package together

[gwennad]

Oh Ikea, I put something from there for the kid (or something you can get there any way lol). They have very cool kitchen things too. And you can probably get a few things from my list there

[mimzy71]

K so thia post is about the "return" key - I can't get it to work either in pists unless I go to advanced and de-select the little formattinf button on the top left corner.

This worked for me Thanks
ALOT!

[PammieD]

This worked for me Thanks
ALOT!

It sucks though cause you can't do the whole formatting thing

[Armygirl76]

Buddy, while cleaning my house I thought of some questions for you.... ( yes I am that addicted that it sneaks into all my thoughts, anyways have to make cleaning somewhat fun )

1. What is your favorite color?
2. What is that one thing that you really, really want, but wont buy for yourself?

Teal
a new purse

Thanks for my buddy
Hmmm my buddy is less girly than me, what to buy...

well that could be me I am the least girly girl ever which is funny because I have the biggest girly girl for a daughter ever.

[Armygirl76]

That was not nice!! LOL I would never have suspected the sweet and innocent Armygirl to be trying to fool me!! HA I guess she had me fooled, not so innocent

Awwww Slam I'm sorry but it was so much fun to keep you guessing

[FallenPixels]

If you are having issues with the formating, can you send Boo a PM letting him know which browser and operating system you are having and your exact problem so he can look into it
