I buy a lot of stuff on line. As a matter of fact, the UPS guy and I are on a first name basis. As I was with the previous driver...who retired almost two years ago.

Anyhow, a couple of years ago I ran across what you might call “an instructional” video on YouTube entitled “Drunken Christmas”. I thought it was funny because it was like a page out of my own life.
This college kid in the video suggested having a little wholesome fun by first setting a limit for yourself as to how much money you could spend and sitting down with a bottle of your favorite whiskey to get yourself “really, really happy“.

Then you log on to Amazon.com, or your favorite eStore, and order yourself a few things that you always wanted but never had to presence to buy for one reason or another.

A week or so later, quite to your surprise; up pulls the Brown Sleigh to present you with a few wonderful gifts you had always wanted!
All that’s only to say that I just discovered this morning, while digging though my emails, that there are two new pipes making their way to my house that I have little or no recollection ordering!

No, I wasn't drunk,…but for the last several days I have been pretty sick, at one point running a good fever,...apparently high enough that I got online and ordered a couple of new Peterson’s.
I’m waiting patiently for that Brown Sleigh.

I'll have to remember that to try and use it as an excuse for purchase I really didn't need to make.
At least you're feeling better now, and well you have a couple new pipes to smoke.

Exactly! Cortezattic, your post reminds me of that scene in The Blues Brother where John Belushi is on his knees in the tunnel, making up excuses for not writing to Carry Fisher while in Joliet.

Do you suppose the wife will by the temporary amnesia thing? I'll give it a try. If you never hear from me again, it didn't work.
