OK, here's the deal. When we were out in Oklahoma in September, the only thing my husband wanted to see while we were there was a TUMBLEWEED!!! Just on the off chance that one of you haunters out in "tumbleweed territory" can lasso one and ship it to me, I'd gladly pay for the shipping costs. I'd like to give it to him for Christmas. I actually found a place online that sells them but they never answer their phone, so I'm turning to you guys for some help. Hey...in the header line I said it was BIZARRE...did I lie?

OMG! He really wants this thing?
I'll have to look at my side yard tonight. They may have blown away already.

Yeah, believe it or not he was actually upset that he didn't get a chance to see a fricken tumbleweed. But, in fairness to him, he doesn't get out much LOL

Ok. I'll have a look tonight. Maybe someone else will jump in.

Don't worry. It's not too odd of a request or gift. Somebody in my family always gets the rubber chicken gift each year. Rubber chicken = SOL hehehe

Hmmm, turned out your request was much less bizarre than I anticipated (or hoped?) :devil:

And sorry - no tumbleweeds here to be sent.

Hmmm...don't know whether to leave this here or to move it to the Oddities forum. Vlad started a similar thread there...

:googly:

I couldn't find a tumbleweed. They've all blown away with the wind we've had this week.
Can you grab one Hella?

You know, I've never seen snow. Could someone ship some to me? (snicker)

I have failed you.

I could find neither a tumbleweed or snow. It was like 80 degrees this week. So no snow. With the wind we've had all of the tumbleweeds went north. We should open up this thread to those in Canada. The north wind should have pushed the tumbleweeds up there and maybe they can help Doc out with the snow thing.

Sorry. I feel like such a loser.

Thanks for all of your help. Please don't all go out of your way on my account. I was just taking a shot to see if anyone could find one. I appreciate all the effort.

Do you really want snow? Now that is funny. It hasn't snowed yet here in Chicago but here is a picture of last year around this time. Trust me, you are not missing anything. Just stick your but in the frig and it will be just like seeing snow. LOL.

See less See more

LOL! Yea, I was just kidding. I see snow every time I go to Lake Taho. However, if anyone has a glacier....Now THAT I haven't seen yet.

Update on the tumbleweed situation. To all my hauntforum friends, thanks for all your efforts. I found a place online that sells them and I ordered one today and it will be here in time for Christmas. To my "friend" Vlad.....:finger: (that's for calling me an oddity, LOL) and I mean that in the NICEST possible way.

oh good Pattie, I was going to tell you that I have looked here and couldn't find one. Usually there are plethora of them out near the fences.
