Whole white baby, bruh!
Brought a tear to my eye thinking about how different it must be to bring a baby into this world now vs just 4 or 5 months ago...
but what never changes is they're always an enormous blessing!
Big congrats! |

Big congrats! Sent the new parents a link- they had a good laugh, then went back to stressing out (my son anyhow). Still waiting on the height of this kid, it's like a govt secret with them. Will get stats to Delta by today so he can do the higher math. Baby bomb Box is already taped and waiting. |

Congrats to benja123's son, Ian, and his SO Dez on the birth of their first child, Samuel. He weighed in at 6 lbs and 15 oz...and was 20 inches. He arrived at 4:53am on July 23 (yesterday morn).
The winning total number is 131 (6lb 15 oz = 111 + 20" = 131)
Nobody guessed that number, but the closest guess was SirKnight's 132.5...he was off by only 1.5.
Thank you, fellas, for playing.
Congrats, SirKnight...PM your addy please |

My refusal was out of guilt. I can’t in good conscience steal a brother’s smokes. SirKnight, on the other hand, is just too generous and good-natured. Which is a problem... |

I just got back from the mailbox. Thanks Delta, your incoming box gave me the hernia I never had. I'm going to post the outrageous contents here and on the nOOb PIB or maybe it was non elitest. My head is spinning. my Jaw is about keyboard height.
It'll take a while there's so MUCH to list. Wow, just wow. |

The box was a combined delivery.
The first part was a Baby Contest congrats for your first grandchild...a small gesture for a proud grandpa. It was in the little ziplock bag.
The bulk of the package was the SoCal Sunshine prize for the OpFTH fundraiser. I've been participating for a few years now...put together a few cigars and then throw in some stuff that is produced in CA, which I personally enjoy...hence the name SoCal Sunshine. You were the recipient that ypetryna selected for that prize.
I'm kinda frugal, so I thought I'd save a few bucks on shipping, knowing I planned to send you something for the Baby Contest so I held off sending the OpFTH prize when the fundraiser was over. I did post my plan in that thread, to give you a heads up. After Samuel's coming out party, I put everything in one box...no fuss ... no muss...
hope you enjoy...and can get something for Ian, Dez and Sammy |

(One generation removed) I wish you much joy my friend... Thanks Izon, the amazing part is he is a miracle baby. My son had testicular cancer when he was 22, surgery and intensive chemo he is fine now but was left sterile. Tested him for 6 years, still infertile or so we thought. He had banked sperm but let it go after 10 years thinking he would never find the right women. 3 years later, whammo. Couldn't be happier. |
