Maybe not... but when the giver wants you to... you do it. At least that is how I always seen it.

And don't worry... it seems I will have plenty to open on my Birthday. I was talking with the person that is giving me that huge package I been posting about. She said my package will be in the mail within the next couple days for sure. So I asked her if she ended up having to wrap many for my birthday... she replied with...

Many, many, many gifts! You are going to have a very happy birthday.


So as I said... it seems I will have plenty to open on my Birthday too!

I just got an update about the above!^^

OMG! I just got a heck of a shock! My friend... the one that sends me those huge boxes of DVDs...  This is the friend that likes to send me clues or play Hangman to get me to guess the titles she is sending me. So far I found out that she is sending me 56 titles in this box. She pretty much stopped with the clues and game because of my Birthday... she wanted to wrap the rest for my Birthday.

She messaged me today saying that she sent/sending the package today.  She always gets a tracking number for my packages so she told me...

Quote:
I'll be home in a couple of hours with your tracking number. I'm not sure of how many DVDs/movies but I bet it's close to 150 or more.


Note the sentence I put in bold! 150 titles  more or less!?! That means approximately 100 titles that are wrapped up for my Birthday!?!?! Wow!

Plus I am expecting DVDs from probably 3 more people for my Birthday (one of which I get to open early)

Sounds like this is going to be a Happy DVD Birthday!

Holy crap, Batman!!! Where are you storing all these DVDs ? I'm having trouble with just the 2,700 +/- titles in my collection (4,891 profiles) .

Tell me about it! I had to start doing the unthinkable... storing the cases away... and putting the discs into CD Binders!

But really... who am I to refuse free DVDs?

I just heard back and got my tracking number. Looks like I will be getting all these titles early... as she apparently changed her mind about wrapping them individually. Here is the message she sent me...

Quote:
I might not have counted the number of titles but they weigh 30 pounds 1.8 ounces! They should reach you Monday May 16th.

Tracking number: USPS XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.

There is a card on the top of the box with your name and address on it.

I didn't wrap the DVDs individually - I just decorated the outside box.

I will leave it up to you whether or not to wait until your birthday to open it. Personally I would open it right away and celebrate every day until the special day. 


There is a few things to consider... but I am sure I will just open it when it gets here.  First off there is titles that I already know about that I am looking forward to watching this month. I may try to hold off and see how long I can put it off but since I have her permission... I doubt it. Especially since I do know there will be several packages to open on my birthday this year already.

I just may have to go that route but I'm leery of storing them that way. Discs tend to get scratched by the sleeves a lot . What kind of binders are you using if I may ask?

Someone I am not familiar with... will have to look her up. Last name Ritter... is she John Ritter's daughter or something?

OK... I do know who Krysten Ritter is (still not sure if she is related to John Ritter)... I just didn't know her by name. But I know her from season 2 of Veronica Mars.

I was going to surprise you with a little something for you to open on your birthday...but after reading you post I've decided to torture you instead...

I will be mailing you a small box of DVDs. These are not to be opened until the actual day of your birth.


OK... so after  just sending me well over 100 titles she is sending me another "small" box to open on my actual birthday!?!? 

Now I sit here wondering what she considers a "small" box!
