White elephant - 'spinning' out of control

18 years ago

I have a large (too big for us, although I do love it) OXO Salad spinner that I'm not getting much use out of, so if you're interested, let me know and Mackenzie will pick a name out of the hat on July 11.

Hi Lori! I've been putting off and putting off getting a spinner - so yes, put me in the hat!

Hello ladies and happy every Holiday I missed. To those of you who do know me, I am back and mentally back on track (I think). To those of you who don't, well I was I am a member, love everyone here. Went away to do some great mission work and had some very tragic things happen. Many hours of therapy later, and actually returning to the Dominican I think I have healed, I am not bitter, sad, or frightened to leave my house any more. I am able to talk about it and I feel that I can share with postive feelings now. But enough of that. Am I to late for April? Please tell me that I can play in April? Max is 4 and we just looked at Co-op preschool. HE is a mama's boy and didn't want to go to big boy school yet. Maryanne~ I have a box for you that I need to send, but um lost your address.. So Merry Christmas when it comes. Ahh. I just don't know what to say or who to say it to because I am scared I will leave someone out. I tried to read as many posts as my brain can handle, but I am sure that I will need some help. Babies and ornaments, tornados and ahhh.. I am not in Kansas anymore. Please feel free to email me with any personals that you'd love to share. I apologize for being gone so long. If there is anything that you want to know email me. If I need to re-join let me know if there is room. Mayanne_ my big sis.. I hope all is well, miss you and thanks for all your support thru this, even though I was a bad lil sis and became an introvert. But guess what? I am back and better. Missed you all Laura.... beans

That's so funny! That time I thought you were just being silly! Good news at the dentist always makes for a better day! Yay! Lisa - I'm so sorry that I've been remiss in taking time to post on the board that I received my prize package from you. I sent you an e-mail when it arrived on Monday. I hope you received it. To everyone else - Lisa sent me the nicest box of prizes from last month's games. For some game when I was the next person to post (it seems like we were waiting for Tracy to materialize but I don't remember why) she sent me some nice gloves and plant markers. For finding that tiny Christmas tree, thereby putting an end to her 'I Spy' game, she sent me a plant off of my want list. She chose to give me Phlox 'Orange Perfection'. I was very excited to get this, as I've never seen it in my area. And, just because she's so sweet, Lisa sent me another start from Larry's iris collection! I'm a lucky girl!

I think that would be a good idea.. like "White Elephant Round 2!!" but we could still finish filling up THIS thread with our chatter until it hits 150 msgs? I think I saved a copy of the boxes' contents in my yahoo notepad to refer back to, but I will still "need" a running list of who has what box at any given time or leastwise I think it would be useful - that way if any "stealing" does indeed happen, we can just look at the running list and see which box we are getting when we've been "thieved" :)

Lori,
What a nice offer. I would simply love to win this. I've been wanting one for some time and just never got around to getting one. Please add me to your list of entries. Thanks.

Lori, what a really nice white elephant. I love mine. I saw a demo by a chef of a salad with dressing of some greens that had been washed and "spun" and some greens that had been washed and paper-towel dried. The difference was very noticeable.

Lori, add my name to the drawing. I've wanted a salad spinner!

Thanks for a very generous offer.

Please add me also! I've been wanting one of those for a very long time - mainly for washing spinach. I've been slinging the water out of the spinach by twirling a pillow case around outside. It works pretty well and does give my left arm a workout, but might get the neighbors wet on occasion.

Very generous offer!

Lori, take my name off. A friend brought by a pampered chef catalog today and I ordered a salad spinner as that was the only thing I needed.

Sorry to be so wishy washy and will look forward to who the lucky winner is!

I love mine.

An added benefit is that you can work out some serious aggression with that puppy!! LOL

I'm extending this until Sunday night at 6:00 eastern time. I've been away and haven't had my act together. LOL

Good timing! My son took the bowl part of my tupperware salad spinner to his apartment and one of his roommates set it on the stove while the burner was still warm. It melted to the point that the spinner part doesn't fit anymore and I was not a happy camper! Please add me to your drawing....thanks!
