The Mail Brain

Nothing makes me happier than mail.  Wanna guess what was inside this package?

  1. Well, your next package won't be as thrilling as this! You make me laugh, Mar. Those are plungers to love!

    1. I don't know, Tina. I have a feeling my next package is going to be awesome. (see: Marianne's definition of happiness = WINNING stuff).

  2. Let me know how they work-I have several toilet pluggers living with me. A few years ago, I had to have my entire main line replaced in my house and a new pipe leading to the street that had the name of my daughter written all over them. Curse her and her over use of toilet paper forever! And curse Roto Rooter too!
    Congratulations on your new plungers-sorry for my rant-must go wipe the froth that developed on my lips..

    1. Oh, I feel you, Cynthia!! I FEEL YA! The reason I ordered the plungers off Amazon was because I wanted a highly-rated one instead of just going to a store a grabbing whatever version they offered. This one had a lot of positive reviews. I've already used them several times (I have BOYS), and they work like a charm. I'm delighted!

  3. I have three toilet plungers that are rendered defenseless from time to time around here, so please share a review of your products (the plungers, NOT your "by-products)

    1. Andrea - see above comments. I am thrilled with my new plungers. It would sometimes take Joe or I an hour to de-clog some of the kids' "work." I haven't even broken a sweat with these. Press press DRAIN. LOVE them!!

  4. I may have to look into those amazing plungers. I often, errr, I mean, my crazy kids & hubby, often clog our poor little toilet.
    And I am sooooooo like you with the package stuff. I went through the same phase. The worst one? Sending away for free FDS from Young Miss magazine. Then getting the package, and opening it up like an insane tazmanian devil and reading the label out loud in front of your mom, dad, brother and uncle. Finally my uncle saying "uhhh, do you know what FDS stands for?" Then him saying to my mom "Dawn, you may want to watch her with the ordering from back of magazines" Then my mom guiding me in the kitchen so we could whisper.......alone!
    Yup, FDS, Feminine Deodorant Spray! Baby Powder Fresh in a nice 1.5 ounce aerosal sample spray. What Mom? Women spray this where?? But by golly it was FREE!!
    Happy Plunging! ;)

    1. Damn...er...KIDS.

      Hilarious story, J.R. And the fact that it was FDS would not have diminished my glee. I probably would've used it for hairspray!

      I hear someone flushing....off to plunge!

  5. I just have to say that I have liked the boxes things come in. In the past I imagine myself have the perfect thing to mail off b.d. and Christmas gifts in.

    But I did go to THAT store, Home Depot, to purchase the thing that you put in the toilet paper roll today. The mastor bath did not have one--either the hubby or the dog was at fault.

  6. You've got mail, not really, but have won an award. Stop by to pick it up.

  7. I love me a box from Amazon...although it's hard to say if I'd be more excited about gumballs or plungers. I was just thinking today that now that I can deposit checks with my cell phone and order everything on Amazon, I may never have to leave the house again.

  8. Amazon boxes are the BEST!! I never underestimate the need for a great plunger either. They've saved me too many times. :-)

  9. I have the package passion so badly that even when I order things for a friend who doesn't have the internet, I'm excited to see them on the front porch. It's sort of sad.

  10. We used to have a lot to plunge here. I have a boy. Now he plunges in his apartment (I hope)!
