Virtual Gift Giving 💝

@PeppyPatti I do enjoy a good bout of music therapy. I'm a big fan of all the decades, as my parents would play lots of them over the years, acdc, the Beatles, Queen, David Bowie, Prince,

I also love a good bit of pop too, Dua lipa and Vera blue, a little tay tay from time to time.

For sleep or winding down I always go for jazz or deltawaves ✨️

oh I’m quite late to this thread but I hope everyone had as lovely a Christmas as possible ❤️❤️❤️

my virtual gift that I would like to give to everyone is individual hand painted mugs, and each person can choose any theme they want. dragons, unicorns, flamingos, literally anything! I love doing handmade personable gifts for people, as I know I always personally feel a bit warm and fuzzy whenever I get a gift where I can clearly tell a lot of thoughtfulness has gone into it.

and also, unlimited life time supplies of seasonings for all the fellow spud buds 😜🤣

I wish I could genuinely give actual gifts to everyone here. it’d be the least I could do for such a wonderful community that has helped me tremendously ❤️

ohhh that is soo beautiful @lonemushroom 😍

You're not as late as me @lonemushroom ! 😅 I had planned to come back to this thread after first reading it, and then forgot oops.

I wish I could send a roll of "who gives a crap" (toilet paper) to everyone here who has ever posted in support of another person. 🤗 .. because they give a crap, obviously lol!

I love handmade gifts also. 😍. @avant-garde made some amazing handmade gifts this year.

I'll take a virtual mug with a dragon design - european dragon, not chinese. 😊

Previous years I have cooked shortbread or gingerbread, etc, for people around christmas as a small gift. But this year I have not had the energy to be able to do so. But I like to give small gifts to people throughout the year, so maybe in 2026 sometime I will instead 😊.

@TAB Thank you

Wishing you good health, prosperity and happiness.

Hey @oceangirl long time no see. Hope things are going OK for you

Hey @TAB

How are you?

I'm recovering from injury and illness atm. I was in hospital; I was discharged Christmas Eve.

Any news?

Gosh that's no good @oceangirl hope things get better soo what happened?

Ah, trying tosurvive heat on day of over 40deg re me

Heart procedure confirmed yet again after cancellations.supposed to be feb 13now

Not much else going on.

Going to nsw for few days next week for a break

@TAB I collapsed and was unconscious (very brief). I presented to hospital - I had elevated biomarkers (cardiac). They came down and thus it was transient (It was temporary or mild). They're uncertain what happen- there ruling out causes atm. It either came from my brain or heart. I had MRI brain yesterday, that looks good. But does not rule out other neurological causes. In a few weeks, I'm having MRI (heart). Because of the collapse, I fractured my ribs and have fluid on my lungs and now have a chest infection. I had Xray Monday and that's when I found out I had fractured ribs. Atm I'm still at home but if things worsen etc. breathing or infection. I will need to go back to hospital.

Where roughly are you visiting in NSW- enjoy your break. I'm hoping to go away soon. Good luck with your heart procedures.

I collapsed many times over last few years also way more close calls. Went to hosp once, they did nothing and i had to walk a kilometre home.another time I broke off both front teeth another time I hit cupboard handle with my head on way to floor, breaking it off.

Most common response is they just stare at me and when pushed say 'it's complicated'

Am going to Riverina.. got airbnb near river

Meeting brother. Coming from Canberra he came here last.re wanting me to drive further. Take care. Had many broken ribs not fun
