A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Thank you Bestofour(Sheri)....

I recieved a parcel with a beautiful wedding card and green and white KitchenAid tea towels and cloths. It was very nice of you . I'll post a pic tomorrow.

Thank you very much.

Oh, by the way...shipping things to Canada in a box marked "Drugs~The Uncommon Drugstore" isn't a good idea, customs ragged it all, even opened the card

Very Sweet Sheri!!

Drugs~ The Uncommon Drug store,, Tamara You are now officially on the "open all of it always " List, at customs!!

They completely tore apart the box...and re-taped it with weird red tape.

Oh, that is funny! Drugs! I love that!
A very nice gift. There is no such thing as too many tea towels. Sheri has excellent taste.

Wonderful gift!!

That is funny about the box!

FUNNY!!!!!!

I bet they shook those tea towels out and everything.....

Yep since they were green they probably got the sniffing dogs out to see it if was made out of hemp!
Tamara red tape• "TAMPER-RED is designed with a red colored bottom sheet to draw attention to tampering. It cannot be removed without detection. The oversized width (3.188"), prevents resealing with standard 3" tape. This "tamper resistant" feature helps protect products " *(Got this from a Customs site that uses Red boxing tape!)*

Uh Oh Tamara

Did they think I would be stupid enough to send drugs in a box marked "drugs" geesh - give this American some credit.

The post office never mentioned that when I mailed it. But the other day I sent netty some seeds and you would have thought I was sending drugs. The PO lady gave me a hard time and said she didn't think I could send seeds to Canada. I said "give it a try and we'll see what happens." I've sent seeds bunches of times and have never had a problem.

I had a friend who tried to send grits to Canada. It was a real fiasco.


Glad you like them.

Happy marriage; happy life.

Canada is allowed to grow hemp for fabric and rope production. But not on our side of the border. It is so sad.

Yup, you can buy hemp products in alot of stores...purses, clothes, etc....

My post office is really strick. They check a parcel before you send it...

I'm having trouble with my photo software, might be a day or so before the pic gets posted.

I saw Woody Harrelson on Johnny Carson one time in an entire suit made from hemp.

My PO people aren't strict at all....they don't even look inside....I just write what's in the box...heck I could make it up if I wanted.

Even if the box said "drugs"

Yep, probably. It's a small town here and they know me.... :wink:

Is there a place to find a list of what's restricted to send into Canada?

I don't know what's restricted. I've never had a hard time before. Even with the box marked "DRUGS." It was when I sent a plain envelope with seeds to Netty that I got the 3rd degree.

This is the link for us(Canadians) sending anywhere...pretty much everything is un-mailable

That list looks a lot like our list, Tamara. It is an impressive list of non-mailables.

Come out with your hands up.

That's not funny! I just spent an hour with two machine guns pointed at me, with a threat from a cop that he was going to shoot Shadow for doing his job!

Oh, Bill. I am so sorry you are having difficulties like that.

I apologize for hijacking with that post....

why on earth would they do that to you? Is it just me or are the cops becoming more and more for a lack of a better word violent? I know the ones down here are on the news of them throughing that man outta his wheelchair! shame shame shame. I would file a complaint bill i really would!

No apology needed Bill, we all do it. I am hoping everything is alright. Now you've got me worried.

sometimes it's hard to live with animals. people who deliver here just go nuts when they see my dogs, and they are mostly bark.

i had a water meter guy who would not read my meter til I posted a beware of dog sing, what difference did the sign make he knew she was here

yep Bill, I agree with tamara----and i too would like to know how things are now--

Tamara; you say we will see pictures of the green tea towels soon?/ that was such a nice thing for Sheri to do,---- I would enjoy seeing them.

...as soon as I can get my kodak software to work. I have been trying all week end. My pics from our gift opening is on the same memory card. My computer has had it....I keep getting "corrupt files or files invalid" on everything.

well, you start NOW telling DH how you need a new computer--this gives him time to get used to the idea. Then eventually you will get one.--of course if my DD had not of boutgh me a new one, I too would be in your boat, right here today--

so I for one, completely understand. What I could not figure out is, when I began having trouble with it, i deleted anything off the hard drive that I absolutely did not NEED--and it still was no faster---

I defragmented several time & everything i could think of----

I only use the computer to come on here...and we have to buy a new laptop for DD in June for college so I'll just get this one fixed as soon as the local repairman can come. he works two other jobs and is quite busy but I am on his repair list.

isn't it amazing that college students are required to have a laptop. What about people who are barely able to send the children to college. My daughter could not go to school without it.

O.k. after a big fight with my computer....I have finally won.

Here's the pic of my gift from Bestofour, thanks again Sheri.

Very nice gifts!! Glad you got it to work Tam!!

Nice Towels Tamara,, I like that color of green!

kitchen towels are a safe bet - not too creative. Almost everyone has a kitchen.

--yes they do, unfortunately.----


Sheri: those are very nice towels that you gave tamara.

....... and I love the color.

tamara; thanks for the picture.
