Mark, yours SHOULD be on its way. If it isn't there in a week, we'll organize torches or something
Quid, I went to the post office this morning. It arrived at the Post Office the day before I left for Utah, and since I was gone for two and a half weeks and couldn't pick it up, the lady said they SENT IT BACK. To SRI LANKA. !!!!! I'm not sure about that, but I'm calling them today.
I HATE my post office. It took three months for them to start forwarding my mail, and my mailman reads my Entertainment Weekly. Posts: 1163 | Registered: Jan 2005

Boon, your replacement is going out in tomorrow's mail. I had a really rough morning and forgot lots of stuff at home this morning... including my train ticket. Good thing my conductor knows me =)

Um, I think that's why I'm verifying the address, but maybe I'm so bubbleheaded that that's just my imagination????? Posts: 8355 | Registered: Apr 2003

Well, yeah, that was implied. At least in my own mind. It was, it really really was. Honestly and everything. Posts: 8355 | Registered: Apr 2003

Maybe we should just tie her to a chair or something. Or take away her passport and car keys. Or drain her bank account, with all proceeds going to me, of course, so she can't afford to go anywhere. Or. . . Um, yeah. That's all I've got. Posts: 8355 | Registered: Apr 2003

Quid! It made it back!! Oh, you are such an absolute darling to offer to send it again. Yes, I'm at the same address, and while I'll be taking little trips, I'm not going anywhere for longer than five days anytime soon.
I have greater faith in our postal system now - maybe this will make up for my dissapointment in my local post office.
You are so incredibly sweet. Thank you!!

kat, even if you go just for a few days, you could call them and ask to keep the package there for you, just in case.

There is no way I want you to not get your December gift. That just wouldn't be . . . nice. You need it. Well, need is a bit of a stretch, but still. Of course I'm going to send it again! Why wouldn't I?
I'll send it on its way again in the next couple of days.
Next question. Because you should have had it a couple of months ago, and you are, most likely, the last person to receive their gift, do you want spoilers on the contents? Posts: 8355 | Registered: Apr 2003

I didn't get a package.
That's okay though. I have a birthday coming up in June...hey, maybe we could do a "Birthday Buddies" exchange. With some careful planning...hmmm...I'm gonna hafta think about that for a while...

Boon! I'm so sorry that happened to you! Did you tell Katie so she could track down your sender and light a fire under their butt?

WHAT????? The second one didn't arrive either????? I'm gonna go beat someone up at DesPlaines! And this time I even sent to the home address that you emailed me directly after the fiasco with the first one!

Oh, Boon!!! I didn't know! There was one other person that didn't get a package, but I don't if one was even sent in that case.
Quid, you don't have to send it again, but I'd be so delighted. I don't want spoilers on the contents - at this point, I think I'm going to frame the postmark. Posts: 1163 | Registered: Jan 2005

Seriously, I'd forgotten until I saw this thread again, what with tax time and all. It's okay. Really.
But I am still mulling over the "Birthday Buddies" idea. ('Cause that's just what I need - another project!)

How would it work? It sounds like an excellent idea to me, if I can understand the mechanics of it...

Katie, I'm sending it. You deserve to have a December gift same as the rest of us schlepps. Besides, I think you'll enjoy it. Can I at least give you hints? Posts: 8355 | Registered: Apr 2003

Bigger or smaller than a breadbox? *grin*

Well, let's see...
1. Everybody interested could send me their birthdays and addresses and then I would assign the person who has a birthday before them to get a gift for. That way nobody would be sending a gift to the same person who sent them one.
2. I could pair everybody up with the person who has a birthday closest to them.
3. We could make it more random: assigning everyone someone mostly random, but definitely split up geographically and birthday-wise. This would make the gifter more of a surprise to the giftee.

I don't know yet if I will be part of it, but you sure should post a new thread about your idea, Boon.

Smaller than a breadbox. Of course, this is assuming normal North American size of bread box, not Barbie's playhouse size. Posts: 8355 | Registered: Apr 2003

And I agree with Quid. Boon deserves a December gift too... but this time it's going to go FedEx!!!
I've got company this weekend so I won't be able to get to this till Monday, but I WILL get this out by the end of next week!
