That title is.. just.. :eek:

But yes, cram it.

I was shopping and I got things for my friends over in Europe. This year, I have to cram gifts into envelopes and try to get away with it. So far, it's been working.

I have become a pro at getting things into small packages. ;)


So, can you cram it?

Hmm.. I've never tried.. but I can fill my grocery buggy (I use the little ones), fridge and freezer very good... and no I don't smoosh anything, I just know how make things fit. So I'd probably be able to. :)

:fluffle:
Oh, into envelopes...oh. Darn. :(

I got things for my friends over in Europe

bla bla bla


:eek: What did you get me?? :D

Seriously though, I'm a master crammer. :cool: More accurately, I'm a masterful packer of suitcases, packages, cars, etc. I love it and I rock at it.

And yet I suck at Tetris. :(


ETA: Just saw the poll - not going anywhere. :p

ETA II: Eww, these smilies are so not color coordinated.

:eek: What did you get me?? :D
I told you! Your card was stolen! :(

You will have to wait and see what I come up with now.

So, can you cram it?Oh... I was so annoyed about the hassle I had to go through to send my sister some candy corn and poptarts for her birthday...

Well..

Seconded.

Why don't you ever get ME anything?



I love it..I rock..it...I suc

OK that was going to be a funny joke, yet I think it was starting to go too far..

Oh... I was so annoyed about the hassle I had to go through to send my sister some candy corn and poptarts for her birthday...

Heh, wait till you have to send a little stuffed animal and a toy airplane into an envelope. *nods*

Ah, but she'll appreciate it. I saw poptarts the other day in one of the "US products shelves" at Karstadt, and the Smores ones were "on sale" - for just 5.90€ instead of the usual 7€... (That's almost US$10). How much are they in the US again?

And this reminds me: Kanabia told me that they have new regulations in Australia that demand that if you sent a package overseas you have to pack it at the post office, before the eyes of the postal employees.

Even just thinking about it again now I can feel my blood pressure rise! Can you fucking imagine that???!!! :mad:

I thought u were talking about exams:p

Why don't you ever get ME anything? Who, me? Ruffy's the one giving away free stuff.

OK that was going to be a funny joke, yet I think it was starting to go too far.. Also, you make horribly bad jokes and forgot to quote the "k" in suck. Tsk tsk.

Who, me? Ruffy's the one giving away free stuff.

You just don't love me

Also, you make horribly bad jokes and forgot to quote the "k" in suck. Tsk tsk.

That was my attempt at stopping before the full punchline was delivered, in order to perserve your dignity, my dear.

Check your TG btw, you have this random habit of just sorta...showing up whenever I try to get ahold of you.

(That's almost US$10). How much are they in the US again?I'm not sure. The big price on the price tag is only for people that have a special customer card. It's still a hell of a lot cheaper to by the expensive imports than to send a package though. I spent like $ 30 on it.

Even just thinking about it again now I can feel my blood pressure rise! Can you fucking imagine that???!!! :mad:I had to unpack my package because I needed to write both price and weight of the individual objects I was sending and I didn't know those by heart. Fucking ridiculous. I saw no such thing on the package my mom sent me.

Ah, so you want me to send you poptarts?

I mean.. because.. they are really cheap, if I remember correctly..

Heh, wait till you have to send a little stuffed animal and a toy airplane into an envelope. *nods*



awwww.. that's sweet. :p

Oh... I was so annoyed about the hassle I had to go through to send my sister some candy corn and poptarts for her birthday...

and that too.

So wait..

Is this for the whole country?

awwww.. that's sweet. :p

Innit? :P

It's actually for a 20-something year old..

You just don't love me True. *pats* ;)

Check your TG btw, you have this random habit of just sorta...showing up whenever I try to get ahold of you. BS. You have a habit of only sending me TGs when you run into me on the forums. :p

I'm not sure. The big price on the price tag is only for people that have a special customer card. It's still a hell of a lot cheaper to by the expensive imports than to send a package though. I spent like $ 30 on it. Noooo! Don't do that! Okay, maybe you know this and what you sent was just too big, but in case you don't know:
When sending overseas from the US ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS use the Global Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelopes.
They're free at the post office, they have no weight limit (the limit is whatever you manage to stuff in there), and they come in two sizes - postage for the small one (fits a CD or DVD, IIRC) is about $5, postage for the big one (bigger than DIN A 4) is $9.50, IIRC.
They're cardboard and the big one really fits a lot.

I had to unpack my package because I needed to write both price and weight of the individual objects I was sending and I didn't know those by heart. Fucking ridiculous. I saw no such thing on the package my mom sent me. Well, I've never heard of having to write the weight of each item on the little green customs sticker. Either that's a new rule (because we all know only terrorists won't write down the exact weight of the dirty bombs they send, erm, away from the US, apparently) or - my guess - your postperson was clueless.
What you usually have to write down is the contents of the package (i.e. yes, every single item, though of course no one really checks, unless it gets opened in customs, so eh) and the total weight, which is usually written in by the postperson because they weigh it, duh.

And your mom would have needed the same exact green sticker on any kind of package sent from Germany, too. She might have avoided that (and, mainly, avoided the higher postage) by sending you something that still qualified as letterpost. (Vergleichbar mit Maxibrief in Deutschland, kann also ganz schön riesig und auch schwer sein, und auch ein "Päckchen"karton o.ä.).

Ah, so you want me to send you poptarts?

I mean.. because.. they are really cheap, if I remember correctly.. Actually... I think I've had exactly 1 poptart in my life. And I forgot what it tasted like. So, I dunno. :p

BS. You have a habit of only sending me TGs when you run into me on the forums. :p

are you suggesting that I might see your name on a post and think to myself "oh, I should talk to her"? You are suggesting that I wouldn't remember to keep up our insightful and stimulating conversations without having to be reminded?

Madam, I am offended!

Methinks someone doth protest too much. :D

feh, don't think that quoting shakespeare is gonna make me forgive you.

*grumbles*

So wait..

Is this for the whole country?

Unless you're using a different postal service than the American one, you'll probably get to put one of those blue sticky thingies on your packages detailing what exactly is in there, how often it's in there, how much it costs, and how much it weighs. N-joy.

Oh what great fun that'll be. :rolleyes:

I'm too paranoid to even send things 2 cm thick in the mail.

What I send won't go in an envelope, but I can cram practically anything into a square USPS Flat Rate Box!

This is about 2 inches. *nods*

Fully packed, I'd say. ;)

I'll cram it for you ruffy
;)

You little hussy. :)

My dignity? Suuuuure.


What'd you say about your memory a while back? ;)

I'll cram it for you ruffy
;)
Ohhh yeah! Give me everything you got!
You little hussy. :)

Teehee!

Surely there must be some euphemism I can use here...

I bought my 3 year old a pair of socks that glow in the dark, I was able to roll them tightly and rubberband them and then squeeze them into a paper scrap from the roll of paper I bought for all her presents.......does that count?

What'd you say about your memory a while back? ;) That it was fantastic? *can't remember* :p
