The sentence "I need to pack three things: clothes, shoes, and toiletries" is not an example of correct colon usage. Colons should only be used to introduce a list, a definition, or an explanation, but in this sentence, there is no need to introduce a list as it flows naturally without the colon.
A colon is mis-used when it is placed at the end of any group of words that does not make up an independent clause. One example of such incorrect usage is as follows: "She ran to the end of the street so that she: being in the mood for ice cream, could catch the ice-cream truck."
The correct pronoun usage is "This is a great picture of her and me." "Her" should come first because it's referring to the person in the picture, and "me" should come after as the object of the preposition "of."
"Either of you" is the correct phrase to use when referring to one person out of two or more. For example, you could say, "Either of you can help me with this task."
The correct usage is "uncommunicative," meaning not inclined to communicate or share information.
The sentence "Why I am waiting to hearing from you" is not correct in grammar. It should be "Why am I waiting to hear from you?" to be grammatically correct.

In contemporary English, standard use of the colon includes separating cause-and-effect statements, separating the introduction to a list and the list itself, and separating a general statement with a set of explanatory statements organized as independent clauses.
