Dear Santa Meh

Teripie thought this was worth mentioning said Mon, Dec 7th 2015 at 7:02pm ET

I know time is running out but there are a couple things I’d like for you to sell while there’s still time.

Ear buds – Not the real, real cheap ones, or expensive ones. Ones that you’d give a 12 year old and a 13 year old.
Batteries – My supply of Meh bought batteries is running low and I need a lot of them to power all my battery powered decorations. Plus I found out at Halloween, a 12 year old and a 13 year old were really happy when I passed out batteries. Sizes AA and AAA. Bulk batteries given by me would make me “Super Grandma.”

I will leave it to you to come up with other, interesting, affordable crap that I can pass off as gifts. Especially crap that would appeal to a 12 year old and a 13 year old.
Thank you for your attention, and Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays.

Dear Santa Meh,

Something purple would be very nice. I've been a good girl this year (most of the time).

  I know. You've mentioned that several times.
  
  You're not the only one on these forums with a love for purple, though I'm not going to meh-ntion those meh-tizens.

OldCatLady said Mon, Dec 7th 2015 at 7:35pm ET:

I just want the $150. 43" TV I missed on Black Friday. Not a smart TV. I learned a long time ago that when gadgets have multiple functions, one little hiccup turns them into expensive multifunction paperweights.

- @OldCatLady I was very anti smart TV until I got my most recent TV (an LG). It has a very whizbang gizmo remote that I hate, but otherwise its smart features haven't really hurt things. Its actually pretty good at being a dumb TV most of the time, plus its actually really good at playing back video/audio/images from a USB drive. Like, no problem playing full-res backups of 3d 1080p blu-rays good.

- @OldCatLady Heck I'd settle for someone's old TV once they bought a new one here. Has got to be better than a 1993 12" with a converter box.

  A neighbor of mine has had an old TV sitting on the side of their driveway if that helps. They don't realize that the town won't take it.

- @Kidsandliz I, too, am using an old TV (might be as old as yours) on a converter box. Upgrading has occurred to me, but since I don't watch much TV, I'm in no hurry. Probably will just wait until my TV stops working.

- @Barney My problem is that it is only 12" so watching in the living room means you are right on top of it. Of course at the moment I don't have a livingroom, but when I do... I had a 1993 Phillips that was a nice size - 32", but my kid talked me into lending it to her, she left it behind when she and her friend were evicted and I didn't know about that until enough after the fact that the neighborhood had already taken what they wanted from what was left behind in an apartment left with all the doors wide open.

- @Kidsandliz My TV is just about 12". If I had a larger one... hmm, not sure what I would do. I guess I'm just used to that size. But then again, I mainly use it for the evening news, and am not watching the screen that much.

Dear Santa Meh,

I really regret not buying that large Claritin HEPA filter when I had the chance. Could you pretty please bring it back? I know I'm not on the nice list, but I can explain! xxoo

Dear Santa Meh,

I'd like to go back in time and get the Fukobukuro I missed on April 1st because I was driving to shady areas to pick up a breast pump for my wife.

Please and thanks.

Dear Santa Meh,

I'd like decently-priced, decent-sounding Bluetooth earbuds, with either good (triple-flange is my preference) or replaceable ends. I haven't been good. A little mercy for Christ's sake (see what I did there?).

Love and kisses,
joelmwah
