Got mine today! My secret Santa included a signed note -  Thanks Poobah!


Animaniacs are awesome! Slappy the Squirrel is my favorite Animaniacs character. Totally gonna try to find some time this week to check out the games on my 130XE.

Yesterday I finally sent out my Secret Santa package.  It was quite heavy (16 pounds!) and I sent it via UPS 2nd Day Air to make sure it arrives tomorrow.

I believe I am in need of rescue unless you know something I don't.  Don't wanna waste a RR if someone has already sent a package to me.

Yay Santa!!

[yuppicide]

Mine says delivered. Any problems let Ax know and he'll contact me and I'll contact who I ordered from.

Hope you liked it as your answer to the secret santa questions shows you didn't have this.

BTW, not a big deal, but I've not seen any packages come yet.

Santa box arrived today....
Awesome, awesome box o' goodies (I've never seen a 6# bag of gummi bears before!)
webcam, 4 new 2600 homebrews, awesome bag of pins, more gummi bears and skittles than i will consume in quite some time.

Many, many thanks Santa Al!

So 6 pounds of that 16 pound box was a gigantic bag of gummi bears? Holy crap, where the heck do you even find a bag of them that big, because I'm going to rush out there and get some for myself!

We get 'em at Costco, but I dont know if you have a Costco in BFE.

That's a great idea, GUMMI Care Bears. Taste their rainbow.

LOL! We do, but this city is so poor that I doubt they get hardly any customers. Interestingly enough I have one about 2 blocks away from my apartment on this side of town. I've considered a membership, but prices there are comparable to Sam's Club and the membership to Sam's is a lot cheaper.

Pics? Which homebrews did you get? You must have been a very good boy this year! I would have been thrilled with one new homebrew.

[BenG76]

Still nothing today. Hopefully it will show up tomorrow.

[Mad Scientist]

Nothing here yet.  Ax, if my sender has sent something, I'm fine with waiting.  Read below, and you'll see that I won't be alone in the waiting game.

I'm still awaiting the return of the package that I sent.  Here's part of its history, thanks to the USPS delivery confirmation on it.
12/8 Originally sent
12/10 USPS sorting facility (in a part of the country that makes little sense)
12/13 USPS sorting facility (in a more logical location)
12/14 At addressed ZIP, "Insufficient address"
I contacted the recipient and found that there was a problem with the address; I'll reship when it gets back to me.
I assumed it was on its way back to me at that point.  I've been checking the number and saw no updates... until today.
December 22, 2011, 11:39 am Return to Sender

It's been sitting at that post office or sorting center for over a week!  It will probably take another six days to get back to me, and then however many more for the corrected shipping.  I'm just glad I included a return address, and that most of it is non-perishable.

[the.golden.ax]

@Mad, your SS has been active online, and IIRC said something about being away for a bit and then coming back on recently. I don't have any definitive information beyond that at this time. Maybe he will chime in and let me know something soon.

Thank you Secret Santa!!  Santa is french as my parcel was from Quebec!

I took pics and I will post them later... to keep the suspense I won't say what I received... but I will leave a hint of what I got.

A la but!!!!  

Thanks again Secret Santa!!

I knew it! We were lied to! Secret Santa doesn't exist! I bet the Secret Easter Bunny doesn't exist either!
