altivoNo, I mean the gifts. If you remember that flash thingie back at the beginning of the month, with the Christmas tree and the gifts, well, I received an embarrassingly large number of virtual presents there. I honestly waited until today to see what they were, except where people couldn't wait and told me in advance. It was delightful fun, though in many cases I was thankful too that the gift was only virtual. Cars and ponies are rarely a freebie. The cost of adding either to my current collection would be staggering, though I love the thought behind it.
Valent -- The pony, real or mechanical, is always appreciated. You know me well, and are generaous too. Thank you.
Jafra -- A vacation, something there are never too many of in my opinion. Perhaps one where I could visit you and get to know you better? That would be nice indeed. Thanks for the thought.
Tango -- A pony hug, perhaps including the pony. A lovely thought, especially in all this snow. Thanks so much.
Vimsig -- Socks, handknitted no doubt. There is no better gift, unless it is mittens. You're so generous. Thanks.
Storm -- A horse. After all, who could have too many? I agree, though my resources are limited. Thank you, uni.
SoanoS -- A book, Linda Kohanov's The Tao of Equus. That one's indeed on my wish list, so special hugs to you.
Zenicurean -- A shot of tequila? Mmm. *makes Margaritas, and offers to share them with you* Thanks, O wise one. :)
Moose -- A book, Knitting Answer Book. Yup, potentially very handy, and I don't have it. Thanks and *hugs*.
ECM -- Lingerie? *snickers* Boy I'd have a hard time fitting into that. *saves it for when he's playing a mare* Thanks.
IceLeopard -- A vacation. Yes, I could use that right now, even if I just sat home for a week or two. *hugs* Thanks.
Schnee -- Fruitcake! Yay! You actually remembered that Gary and I like it. Thank you.
Kid -- Lamborghini. Whew, now this is definitely out of my class. The insurance alone would bankrupt me, but thanks.
Rex -- Actually, my favorite sweaters are wearing out. I can use this. Thanks and *hugs*.
SongCoyote -- As clever at gift-giving as he is at playing tricks. A LiteBrite? *gets totally distracted by it* Hugs.
Alaskawolf -- A car. Does it come with mechanical advice and assistance? You could move down here. Thanks!
Marzolan -- Bag of fiberfill stuffing, in case some gets pounced out of me. Too clever, Marz. Thanks and hugs.
Avon -- Stilton cheese. *gives you a big hug and insists on sharing it with you* Nom. You're a sweetheart, thanks.
Calydor -- Laptop. You're right. From what I hear, more likely to get burned hooves from typing. Thanks .XD
Gabriel -- Chia pet. Uniquely amusing, and commercially useless as you point out. But I like unique things. Thanks.
RRW -- Soda. Perhaps an original bottle of root beer from the steam powered Lakeshore Ltd. of the 1930s? Priceless!
Casey -- Fruit cake. Well, there's never too much in our opinion. Thanks for the thought.
Duraji -- Vacation to one of my books' worlds. Now this is really an interesting idea. Thanks very much.
Flamekist -- Book on lampwork bead making. Tempting and fascinating. Thank you!
Sinopa -- Guitar Hero. I think I'd lose the duel, even though I can play a real one. :) Thanks, though.
Equus -- Mistletoe. Well, I know what to do about that. *kisses* Thanks.
Cabcat -- Citizen wrist watch. I love watches and clocks, so this is much appreciated. Thanks, kitty.
T_H_Squirrel -- Cash. The most adaptable of gifts! Thank you, I won't just buy pony feed.
Jet Black -- Super Nintendo. I hope you'll give me lessons on what to do with it. Thank you.
Silver -- Frappuccino. *gets wired* Oooh, better nail my hooves down. Thanks.
Kaotic Skunk -- Pet rock. A cute blast from the past. *knits it a sweater* Thank you.
RaNdOm FuR -- "Gun" for PS2. Well, this I admit I don't know what to do with, but thanks.
Silver -- Rolex watch. Oooh, shiny! Thank you.
*writes you all thank you notes on pony stationery*

Date: 2008-12-26 11:26 am (UTC)I am interested, however, in the minimalist approach of the "netbook" computer. They obviously haven't got it right yet, but it could be workable. The thing is, in my case, I can't stand those tiny cheap keyboards.

Date: 2008-12-27 11:31 pm (UTC)The one I have is Way of the Horse: Equine Archetypes for Self-discovery which is a sort of Shamanic mixture with tarot cards. It comes with a deck of pretty horse pictures that represent various personality and lifestyle elements. You have to be willing to read sort of "New Age" mystical stuff.
