Holiday gift exchange????

[devetaki9]

I will definitely participate next year, this year has been a little rough for me.

 

[fleurdejoo]

Oh man! I wish I had been here in time.

Been so busy.

Jude, it's good to see you on the forum! I, too, have been busy this year. I started a second part-time job and don't have as much free time as I did in the past.

So, what did you guys give each other? Is there another thread somewhere?

 

[fleurdejoo]

Good question! We want to know!! Hey Tammy I will exchange with you if you want. No pressure though!!

Some new teas to try, a little chocolate, a nice warm beanie, and best of all a (sub adult?) Rhombodera!

Here's the lady getting a "Welcome to the West Coast" snack

Thanks so much dude!

yay she made it in 1 piece! I built the case she's in all by myself

and no that missing leg did not snap off, she never had it when she was alive, she lost it during the final molt

she fell right after molting and though externally was fine, internally something must have gone wrong because over the next few weeks she slowly weakened and died

so I preserved her and I've had her specimen for over 3 years I think

her sister meanwhile lived almost 15 months as adults and wouldn't have made such a good specimen after that lol

Im glad you like it! The top fuzzy part is english angora, the brim is baby alpaca. I live for soft fibers! I hope it survives your family fighting over it!

Its a soft black tea from the azores. Tastes great with a little honey and a touch of milk. Those two are my favorite black teas. Darjeeling has a muscatel grape flavor and is Himalayan.
