> [@Lancia](#): > > I got my email! ::happy dance:: > > I’m out of town until tonight, and tomorrow is pretty busy. However, my package will be on its way to its recipient sometime this week. Wow man, way to make a guy feel guilty! I haven’t even sent mine away and I come home to a package from one of my internet friends! I received not one, but TWO shot glasses AND my favorite collectable ever…a pen! I have never been, nor do I have anything from the great state of Oregon and now I have one pretty looking elk’n’fish glass, and a shot glass with all of Oregon’s fun facts on it (I didn’t know states even had official state butterflys!) All with a BEAUTIFUL Portland State pen and Business Card Holder You’re the best Lancia 😃 ---

I didn’t find what I wanted last weekend, so mine isn’t sent yet. Wife had a great idea, so MONDAY mine goes. ---

My wife is well into the local chocolates I’d bought, so I have to buy some more. And hide them. ---

Got my package the other day. A very cool looking coated shot glass, with a nice “taste of Oregon”. Had some licorice in it, I am a big fan of licorice, and the Huckleberry flavor was new to me… but very good. Mine is packaged and will be headed to the Hoosier State Monday. ---

A long stretch of work has kept me from the post office, but I will have a package going out tomorrow. ---

I sent a package to Canada today, with a shotglass and some assorted British touristy… tat. What I didn’t do was put a note in it, as I forgot, so if someone gets that without a note, it’s from me 🙂 ---

I took my package to the post office, and had made a mistake as to when the windows close. I was five minutes late, so my stuff will take off for the Pacific Northwest tomorrow. ---

Three Cheers for **Atomic Mama**! I got a beautiful gold rimmed shot glass with a lovely scene of Maine, some lobster shaped maple candy, a can of lobster bisque, and a bottle of coffee brandy! Way to go above and beyond! Thank you! ---

_sigh_ I revealed to the post office dude that I had little bottles of bourbon in my box and was told that they were not allowed. I will make a new plan and try again tomorrow. ---

> [@Labtrash](#): > > I just realized I forgot to out a note into my package too, although I’m pretty sure the SoCal recipient will know it’s from me (in SC) 🆒 I knew it was from you the second I saw the return address! 😛 SCORE!! All sorts of goodies from South Carolina. Which has a special place in my heart, since my antecedents were stomping around that area 400 years ago. Let’s see…2 shot glasses (one of the state flag, one specifically from Murrells Inlet), a totally cool turtle ornament and coaster\*, some sample material for the “laboratory equipment,” a Myrtle Beach Pelicans schedule, and a big bag of skillet corn bread mix that the wife glommed onto immediately. Thanks, **Labtrash**! This was a very thoughtful and generous package. \*- Special zing since I got married wearing a Hawaiian shirt with turtles on it, so turtley things are always special. ---

It’s here it’s here!!! ::ripriprrip:: SQUEE!! An awesome Kansas shot glass with a tiny map and flag on it, some chocolate - covered sunflower seeds, and a cool Kansas coffee mug, which will be getting daily use starting in about 10 hours! I can’t wait to try all this stuff! There was no note in the box, but I know which Doper sent it. I’ll assume anonymity is requested. So, to my special Kansas Doper friend, thank you! ---

Nope, not anonymity, just someone who was in too much of a hurry to include the note I wrote!:D:p Glad you like the stuff. Isn’t ripping open packages wonderful? ---

I forgot to mention that the “sample material” is _Firefly_! The wife noticed the labels as she was putting them away until this weekend. Shiny. ---

'Fessing Up Dept: I have been on the road (sans computer), got ill, got diagnosed (sort of) w/a creepy blood condition – I have to go to the Hematology MD for further analysis – and have generally dropped the ball. And the computer blew up _again_. **silenus** sent me a fabulous box 'o goodies from Vegas, and I just haven’t been able to pull myself together enough to write it up in this thread ☹ So, here goes! One spectacular piece of “lab equipment” – a neon orange shooter from Sin City, and mini-sips of Bulleit Bourbon and Evan Williams Honey Reserve (mighty tasty)! Annnnd: A Captain America mousepad, chocolates wrapped in a petite satin drawstring bag (Venetian Palazzo), a pretty pink mini-LED flashlight that doubles as a bottle opener, very nice mini-shampoo/conditioner/lotion, the best lil mending kit I have EVER seen – pre-threaded needles w/various color threads, keychain & stickers from the alohashirtshop, used but sealed deck of (gamblers’!) playing cards, shoeshine cloth, Alias Season 2 trading cards, 3 skinny resort hotel pens, palm tree swizzle stick, rollinsmoke bbq sticker (YUM!), two fortune cookies, … and the grand finale is an appropos lapel pin reading: “It’s As Bad As You Think And They’re Out To Get You!” Thank You. The Kindness Of Strangers overwhelms me.
