You mean you don't sit around reading the Uline catalogue?
We do.
I've picked out several things I'd like to own from the Uline catalogue:
It was a tough decision but I'm going with the metal platform truck.
I can't even begin to express my excitement. I want the biggest conveyor they HAVE.

For every $300 you spend you can have a Pink Floyd tee shirt!
(Yeah, I don't get it either.)
Youngest and I finally found chocolate oranges in the store yesterday.
Middle cracked his perfectly. I thought I'd show you.
I forgot to show you this the other day -
long time commenter, one of only a three MEN who read me, Scot sent me this incredible gift. As if the fact that it is gorgeous AND touching weren't enough, SCOT MADE IT. He called it a paperweight, but I've been enjoying it on my windowsill and on the dining room table and on the bookshelf....
He sent a nice note with it explaining that he had made it, causing my boys to stare blankly into space and speculate - sandblasting? etching? acid? diamond-tipped saws and blades and drills...everyone was very impressed.
Especially me.
It's a wonderfully thoughtful gift. A beautiful, wonderful, thoughtful gift.
Scot and I have been corresponding for a couple of years - I had no idea he was an artist as well as a great guy...

That platform truck? When you move Middle into his dorm you will thank your lucky stars that you found it.
When Sorority Girl went to college we had to make 6 trips across the parking lot, down the very long sidewalk, up the elevator to the fourth floor and down a hallway. We kept saying "WHY didn't we get a platform truck?"
Or just rent one.
The paperweight is gorgeous. Well done, Scot.
Think of the fun you can have by positioning one end of the conveyor -- which is AWESOME, btw -- next to your bed and the other end next to your car. Instant commute!
I would like two conveyer belts. We would sit in boxes and have races all the time.
Beautiful gift, well done Scot.
The sentiment expressed on said gift... I have been hearing that phrase from so many different sources - maybe I should pay attention!
You kooks!

And that was a textbook perfect cracking!
we have one of those roller conveyors at work. very cool. you can get a scary amount of speed on one in a box. Not that I would ever do that..... never.

And am also blown away by such thoughtfulness...
Bless Scot.
Now I want a Terry's Chocolate Orange.
To answer all the speculation:
Lasers, razor blades, sandblasting and a Sharpie.
The text was on a card you said you wanted a few weeks ago.
I got 2 of those dark chocolate oranges. I love those! They also make a great granache or fondue.

I, too, would like to know what the text says on your gift. It's beautiful.
I love those conveyor belts. There was an old market near my house that had them and I thought it was the coolest thing ever to watch items come skittering down. I loved the whirring sound they made.
