July/Aug SS Thank You

[GLC1968]

To my SS,

I can't figure out who you are!!! Sorry about the belated posting, I hadn't mailed mine out yet and I wanted to wait to open what you sent until I sent my package out. Guilt...so to the recipient of mine, it is going next day and will be there tomorrow!!

SS, thank you so much! I can definitely use the Shot Bloks and the propel. As a matter of fact, I was/am having a shot blok shortage so it's perfect! And the books? They both look great!!! I'm going on a long plane trip tonight and I am taking one of them (haven't figure out which one yet but I think it'll be the cycling one) with me. It looks funny and I need the motivation right around now

Thank you again, whoever you are!

p.s. I love mysteries also, that was an excellent choice!

Hi Teigyr - I'm pretty sure I'm your SS! I wasn't sure who you were on TE as my SS PM only gave your real name and not your TE name! I'm sorry I was so late in getting it to you. I have no excuse as it sat in the box on my counter for much longer than it should have! I'm glad you liked it and I hope you enjoy the books.

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..

Thanks! And BOY do I know how long boxes sit out at my house. I was busy trying to remove cat hair from the box I sent to my SS. I read the first book, Heft on Wheels, while on a trip to Syracuse. It was great and I had it finished by the time I got home The next one is for vacation, next week.

Thank you again SO much and now I can thank you in person, as it is.

Thank you so much UK Elephant!! I love the cookbook and have already eyed some desserts to make. I really only like to bake. I plan to read the other book on a long road trip we are taking soon, looks like a fun one.

Umm.... My package isn't complete. I got part of it but have been swamped at work and haven't gotten all I want in it.

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!

[crazycanuck]

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!

[Aggie_Ama]

I sent my package off last Friday- after it sat in on my table for two weeks waiting for me to get off on time to make it to the post office . By now I think it should have made it to the recipient. Hopefully no post office gremlins are working overtime. It has been a very bad week and I don't need that!
