[Mo0o]

Got my gift. Love the tshirt and joystick

 

[Brainonska511]

Thanks SS! I got my first month of the beer of the month thing the other day. 4 types of beer, 3 bottles each.

At a curiosity, is there anyway to change the future shipping address? I'm only at home for the next few days (and won't be back in NY until at least end of March) and would if possible like if they were shipped to my address in Chicago. If not, then it's fine the way it is and I'll collect them when I come home again either in March or June.

My recipient hasn't chimed in yet. I guess they didn't like it

Thanks SS! When I opened the mailing package, I thought to myself "Ooo, yet another power supply. Wish it was PC Power and Cooling, but oh well."
As I opened the box...

I was pleasantly surprised to see an ATOT shirt, a Batman BR disc, a letter, and a In-and-out GC. I love it SS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to get a 12x12 this weekend.

 

[dquan97]

To my SS, thank you for the gifts! They will be very useful when welcoming our new zombie overlords.

Glad you liked them!!

Did you check out the gift thread?

 

[zoiks]

I just got home from vacation last evening and found several boxes waiting for me outside my door.
Thank you SS for making my day. I just opened it and 'The Office' Clue puzzle is pretty awesome. I'll post pictures once in a day or 2 in the gift thread!

To my secret santa:

Sorry about this, I think I must have put down my work address rather than home address for the package you sent. Now that I have the tracking info, it seems clear that it's been sitting at my work office since the 23rd, so I hope you didn't send a container full of JELLO like I sent to amdskip.

I'm planning on going into work on Monday, so I'll get it then at the latest.

Sorry I'm such a bonehead when you went to the trouble to making sure it would get to me on time.

EDIT: I have two packages from my mailbox and must be from my Secret Santa. In order to appear less strange, I'm going to wait until I'm alone in my office to take pictures.

 

[manlymatt83]

Where is the gift thread? And the list of secret santas?

List should be posted shortly.

 

[MartyMcFly3]

Once I get Jeff's half of the list, I will be posting it, so probably tonight. I know of two issues of gifts not being sent out or received. These are being taken care of. Still waiting to hear if 3 other people have received their gifts. (I'm assuming yes just because Confirmation was sent, but you never know)

Thanks for the gift SunnyD!

 

[maziwanka]

Anubis--twofootputt--maziwanka

twofootputt - thanks for the gift!! i never even knew that something like that existed - will be extremely handy for flights and general use in cars.

anubis - glad to see you enjoyed the gift by your post earlier! sorry i couldn't make it more personal, but i was afraid that with work, i wouldn't have time to put everything together and send it out. btw, i love samurai champloo and thought it would be a must have for any anime fan for his/her bluray collection. im glad you actually had a bluray player. haha

 

[zoiks]

Hey ArizonaSteve. Thanks much for the gift man. I really like the puzzle.

 

[eldorado99]

Hey ArizonaSteve. Thanks much for the gift man. I really like the puzzle.

You are very welcome! I hope you have a lot of fun playing it.

Kaido - glad to see you enjoyed yours you were hard to shop for! I initially was like "ooo. camera for dummies book" or something similar. Then a friend of mine on here (pointdablame) started loooking at your posts with me and pointed out that you might be just a bitttttttttttt beyond that stage ;x

Spiderwiz--SKORPI0--Fallenhero32

Spiderwiz, thanks for the gifts. Came in handy to use it with this.

Fallenhero32. Hope you like the books. Wanted to add something
else, but work took too much of my time.

 

[OogyWaWa]

Crono, sorry. I just got back in town and got the pickup request thing from the post office. I'll swing by tomorrow and get the goodies. Late Christmas rocks!

 

[DaTT]

Thanks a bunch KeithTalent....will enjoy my $13 beers in a few weeks

 

[OogyWaWa]

got my booty today some dunkin dough-nuts coffee and some crazy ass foreign coffee powder. not sure wtf it is but it looks like tea and probably tastes heavenly. i'm researching it now, lol. thanks crono !

edit: looks like it is coffee for making this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_filter_coffee i wonder if i can use it in a standard coffee machine...lol it smells awesome ^_^ I searched for a while and only came up with some indian phone numbers and addresses. doesn't look like this place has a website. wonder where he got it
