They'll just have to wait, Mom wants to see this!

[Beaverhausen]

[helderheid]

34. She's in her office ... knows "something is up" :)

[CottonBear]

44. OK. It's been 33 minutes since the vases were 20 blocks away. n/t

[rodeodance]

13. countdown time.

[suffragette]

17. Ok, now I'm hearing KO's theme in my head

:)

[Greyskye]

15. Does Helen have any idea that this is happening yet?

Just curious...

[rodeodance]

20. only the stars know

[Synnical]

22. She knows "something" is going on

But seems to be intentionally avoiding direct contact with the volunteers per R. on site.

[rodeodance]

26. hope she thinks it is good something

[troubleinwinter]

27. I think her staff is aware,

I'm sure they're keeping tabs on her.

[rodeodance]

[rodeodance]

21. lets send this thread to KO

[rodeodance]

for a truly beautiful person. I hope they make her so happy!

[troubleinwinter]

28. The pipe under the kitchen sink sprung a leak....

but I am watching this thread instead of mopping water & calling the plumber!!!!! Hahahaha!!!!

[Lerkfish]

31. I applaud everyone's efforts on this, way to go!

I'm anxious to see pics of her reaction.

[jeanarrett]

64. Just stick a bucket under there--my husband is a plumber--

75. Buttercup McToots. Buttercup McToots!

What great name. I'm getting a sense of happiness with simplicity. I have no idea why. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face. And welcome aboard the train of hope.

[hwmnbn]

90. welcome to DU, B. McToots ......

:hi:

You got in on a very cool piece of business. DU restored my faith in sanity and graciousness. :thumbsup:

[ebayfool]

49. I've been checking Google News - talk @ timing! Helen just posted a new

column that references roses @ 8 minutes ago LOL! Nothing @ her special surprise yet, though!

on edit:
original looks to be @ 18 hours old.

---------------------

President George W. Bush seems to believe that the news media's coverage of the Iraq war is why many Americans fail to see that everything is coming up roses there.

That's an old ploy: Kill the messenger who brings the bad news.

55. Oh my god! that's hilarious!

How perfect!

[CottonBear]

59. Ha! Thank you Ms. Thomas! That is so clever! n/t

[Mojorabbit]

39. Has she seen them yet? eom

[IdaBriggs]

40. This is TORTURE!!!! :) nt

[troubleinwinter]

42. I KNOW, but just think....

at a certain moment, when it is very quiet here, is the moment she actually sees them.

We will hear presently.

(Hopefully 1/16 of a SECOND from now!!%!# Hahaha!)

[Scout1071]

54. I patiently read each and every comment all the down this

thread in anticipation that I would come across the real pictures and eyewitness delivery accounts, but nothing!

I know it's all happening and I can't wait to see the pics, but I soooo thought it would at the end of the thread.

So now, I wait(tapping foot and pacing).

[helderheid]

48. UPDATE - Vases arrive - 5 out of 48 were broken - Organic Bouquet is

reimbursing us for those vases and filing a huge claim with Fed Ex - pizza should be there by now.

Trying... to ... breathe...

[stop the bleeding]

52. Man I don't know how you can be so calm

We are dying here with anticipation

[rodeodance]

65. my bowl of popcorn vanished waiting.

[troubleinwinter]

57. As for refund...

perhaps it can go as a donation to DU for helping to make this possible.

[helderheid]

72. I was thinking the same thing

[ClayZ]

60. Sing: Nam Myoho Renge Kyo

Nam Myoho Renge Kyo
Nam Myoho Renge Kyo

[ebayfool]

77. I bet Organic Bouquet is thoroughly ticked @ Fed Ex - DU is likely the

demographic/customer they would like to have exposure to ... admirable that they are staying on top of the problems!

And you absolutely :yourock:

[northofdenali]

84. Breathe! You've done great, helderheid!!!

:hug::loveya::hug:

[Coexist]

50. Any news??
