Glad it got there and that you like it. The spousal unit put the package together. Get Well soon! ---

My package actually arrived last week…a very shiny Sea World shot glass that was promptly snatched up by my wife, and golf tees from TPC that I’ll use as talismans for “special” shots. Thanks! Mine left today, en route to the west coast, forecast arrival the 28th. Hey all that was asked was get it there this month, right? ---

> [@Sicks\_Ate](#): > > Hey all that was asked was get it there this month, right? That’s how I understand it, although I’m afraid that mine will be a couple of days late. It will have some perishables in it, that’s my excuse! 😃 ---

**Silvorange** , you went above and beyond! What an awesome package to receive. I could not imagine why a shot glass and some chocolate should need such a big box. Ha! Do you think it could be because of the perfectly scaled down authentic Louisville Slugger baseball bat _personalized with my name on it_?! Or maybe the fact that there were three, count 'em, three (!) fabulous shot glasses: a gorgeous black beauty that says “Kentucky Bourbon Trail” on it (someplace I definitely want to go), a fancy commemorative 2015 Kentucky Derby shot glass, and an wonderful _wooden_ shot glass with “Louisville Slugger” burned on it. And then there was the box of chocolates. Not just any chocolates, mind you, but Rebecca Ruth Bourbon Balls. I may have to set up regular delivery of those babies. They are so good! Thank you, **Silvorange**. I am delighted. YOU ROCK! ---

Mine arrived yesterday and it is great! **Sicks Ate** , thank you sir! Your forecasted arrival was spot on. In the box were four awesome items from the Kansas City area: A very fancy bottle of beer from Boulevard Brewing Company in Kansas City. This promptly went into the fridge. I don’t have the bottle in front of me, and I don’t recall the exact flavor, but it is in a fancy 1 pint, 9 ounce corked bottle. I look forward to enjoying this beer. Coffee beans, “Kansas City Dark Blend” – perfect for my grinder and French press. A 50ml bottle of Most Wanted Vodka, from Atchison KS, about an hour from Kansas City. And the best part of all is a KC Royals shot glass! I’m a big baseball fan and I’m trying to get to every MLB ballpark. One of my bedrooms is a shrine to baseball, with memorabilia from all the parks I’ve been to. This shot glass will be perfect for there, right next to the Alex Gordon bobblehead I collected at the K last August when the Giants were there – yes, I was there when the Royals beat Lincecum that Sunday and swept the Giants. The Royals had a very strong team last year and the Giants were lucky in the World Series. I will down the vodka with that shot glass, and then the shot glass will forever be in my baseball shrine. Nicely done, **Sicks Ate** , that was awesome. Thank you! (And thanks, too, for Nori Aoki. He’s doing great.) ---

Orders have been placed, items have been packaged, and they tell me it should ship by Monday. So if you live in the coastal South East and haven’t gotten a package yet, don’t give up hope… ---

True to form for me, my package finally went out today. :o The delivery kangaroos have quite a ways to hop, but if past experience holds, it should only be a couple of weeks to arrive in the great frozen north aka Canada. 😛 I tried to include a tipple in keeping with my recipients nickname, but the only local whiskeys are distilled in Tasmania, and I couldn’t get hold of any of them in Queensland, so it’s the local Rum instead. ---

Mine hasn’t gone out yet, either, although I have it and plan on getting a package in the mail by Thursday or Friday. ---

Mine has shipped. It is going to a state on the Gulf of Mexico with expected delivery either tomorrow or Thursday. I knew my recipient was away from home until this week, and since there is a perishable item I didn’t ship it earlier. ---

Thank you @bullitt for my goodies! It is funny because I signed up for this before finding out I was pregnant. I thought I would open a box with alcohol and not be able to enjoy it. However, the box contained all types of goodies (clam chowder, fresh bread, candies, etc.)!! Thank you so much! This preggo will be able to enjoy all of these!! Also, thank you for my shot glass! 😉 ---
