Sounds good to me, CC. I didn't participate in the Christmas Card exchange last year so I'll need complete instructions.

someone also mentioned doing a water bottle exchange - how about we do both? your thoughts?

[crazycanuck]

First, could the person that was to send Ifjane something please let me know you're alive & well out there!!!

Jane, I remember the water bottle exchange idea being thrown around. It sounds cool to me for the next ss thingie...Anyone wanna organize it?

Christmas card exchange will come with instructions..

Cindy revealed herself to me and I want to publicly thank her for all her efforts in sending me a SS package. Unfortunately, it has never arrived.

With any luck the person who did receive it needed it more than I.

Cindy, again, thank you! Don't let this stop you from participating again. It's fun!

Is there no way of tracking the package??? What a bummer!!!

Cindyloo, THANK YOU so much for my package. I wish it could talk because I would love to know where it has been since the August 28 postmark (it's not THAT far from Atlanta to here )

Here is what transpired this week:

I went to visit my mom last Friday (Sept. 14) and on that day a notice was put in my mailbox that there was a package at the P.O. (15 miles away). The only time the carrier should put a notice in a mailbox is when 1. the package is too big for the box, or 2. the receiver has to sign for it. Neither was the case with your package.

I returned on Wednesday (Sept.19) at at 5:45 p.m. and when I picked up my mail, I found the notice. It said the package would be returned to the sender on Sept. 19 if it had not been picked up by that time. I called the P.O. and talked to a lady there who said she couldn't help me and to call back the following morning (yesterday).

Yesterday I again called the P.O. and spoke to the Postmaster. He asked for the parcel number off the notice and said that only Express Mail is returned after 5 days. There was no parcel number and the carrier didn't even put the sender's name on the slip so I had no way of knowing who it was from. The Postmaster was upset because the carrier did not fill the slip out correctly and there was no way of knowing what happened to the package.

Mysteriously, when I got home yesterday, the package was in my mailbox!!! I have a suspicion the carrier had a talking-to by the Postmaster & somehow magically found my package.

So....again, thank you Cindyloo for the goodies! I am going to put The Quotable Cyclist to use this morning, and I can't wait to read Bicycle Love!! As for the Sudoku......uh.....I am so numerically challenged that I hope I can finish at least one of the easy ones. I'll let you know!
I am going to hang my little "play everyday" sign in my Element to remind me of the important things in life. I haven't been playing much lately so I hope it will help get me back on the right track.

Thanks for being my SS, Cindyloo!

[Cindyloo]

Well thank goodness! I was quite frustrated that you hadn't received the package! Since I was mailing it later in Aug. I even sent it priority mail!!! Oh well, people make mistakes.

Your welcome! Sudoku isn't for everybody but it can be fun. I still have to look at the answers sometimes!
