My girlfriend's younger son has just been on holiday in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.

He know's I'm a coffee addict and a cat person.

So I got a packet of kopi luwak.

In the spirit of the same theme, I received a roll of TP one year. What I didn't realize at first was that it had been unrolled and re-rolled with dollar bills the full length of the roll.

In the store the other day, I saw panty liners that were in a "limited edition gift box." Some marketer must want to become part of this thread.

Tell us something.: I'm a fiddler and, latterly, a fluter. I love the flute. I wish I'd always played it. I love the whistle as well. I'm blessed in having really lovely instruments for all of my musical interests.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Oh, they also got me a fingerprint kit. They said it was so I could check up on people who've been to the house. They scare me a little.

This is easy. Some of you who are FB-connected with me will have already seen this.
My friend Katherine (who spends every Christmas Eve and makes sure I, the stocking stuffer, have a stuffed stocking,) knows I assiduously avoid accumulating "stuff." So she gave me this. It was available in an Annapolis Irish stuff shop. You folks will probably know what it is.
(hint: appearance to the contrary, it is not kopi luwak.)

The liquid is supposed to do strange things when the weather changes. So far the crystals have all been at the bottom. It's supposed to snow tonight and rain for the next couple of days, so we'll see if this thing actually works.
