Katherine has been watching "The Little Mermaid" until she can sing along with all the songs, and has some toy fish/crabs/dolphins that she insists upon having with her in the bathtub every night... so now she would really like an Ariel (or other mer-girl) to go along with her 'Sebastian' and 'Flounder'!Alembychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10083695932332400462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5294551932677229145.post-75641172691200920742007-04-26T11:37:00.000-07:002007-04-26T11:37:00.000-07:00Who is looking for mermaids?

How long should they take to get to you, anyway? And can you send stuff like medication in them? (OTC stuff like acetaminophen, cough medicine, tar shampoo, etc.) What about spices? Is there any stuff like that which you would like to get? I seem to remember sending you some spices last time you were in Korea. Please elaborate on the shipping regulations.<BR/><BR/>Went to Value Village yesterday but no mermaids. I am going to ask Michaela (de Boer) to make enquiries for me at school if any of her classmates have an Ariel mermaid doll they would like to sell me for a couple of dollars. They're starting to get beyond dolls at that age (9-10) already, so that might prove fruitful. And Michaela knows a lot of girls. So we'll see what comes of that. <BR/><BR/>My love to you and Katherine. Tell the S'th'knrii to give Bryan a hug for me. See you on Skype!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17677233394315526807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5294551932677229145.post-82476655068149911192007-04-25T07:56:00.000-07:002007-04-25T07:56:00.000-07:00@ Audrey: Well, we DID ship our boxes even before...@ Audrey: Well, we DID ship our boxes even before we left. And my mother sent a package just recently which arrived yesterday, so things ARE getting through. Of course, it's always possible that Customs decided to confiscate the Cheez Whiz and are now happily enjoying it on their own toasted bagels...<BR/><BR/>And speaking of possibilities... er, well, about Bryan. <BR/><BR/>The S'th'knrii of Sirius 3 say that he's being treated well, supplied with computer games, and still has all his 'original appendages', but they warn me that he's not cooperating well with the 'sampling integration process'. All messages will be passed along, and will eventually reach him in the 'viral isolation tank', but I am not to 'grasp my inhalation'. I think that means 'don't hold your breath'....<BR/><BR/>Sigh.Alembychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10083695932332400462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5294551932677229145.post-59567529362950380522007-04-25T07:43:00.000-07:002007-04-25T07:43:00.000-07:00Hooray!

(However, I now have grave concerns about when your care package may show up.)<BR/>Once you get your place all set up the way you like it - with sheets, knives, books, etc. - we expect to see some pictures posted .. maybe some with Bryan in them so we know he's still alive.. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
