My new shot glasses work! After dinner, my mom, my friend and I had a little drink of maple infused Canadian whisky. It was fantastic! Highly recommended. The three of us agree that we could sit and drink that every night. Thank you so much, **Jools**! Also, my mother openly coveted my tiny flask. When we go to Montreal for ComicCon this September, I have a feeling we will be on the hunt for one for her. 🙂 ---

I really should’ve set a better example, but… mine is all packed up and should go out tomorrow! ---

Let me know Minionkat, I’ll let you know where I got it! Glad you enjoyed the whiskey, I’ll go get a bottle for myself 🙂 ---

I’m rather shamefaced to report that my package was just dispatched today. Apologies to my Finnish recipient. If it’s some slight defense, 30 June is the end of the financial year in Australia and working in Banking and Finance means I’ve been working massive hours the last 8 weeks or so. ---

**acctogo** , your package should be there Saturday. Sorry it took so long! Nothing for me yet. Sadness. ---

I ran into a problem with my package. Turns out it’s illegal to mail booze to Missouri even via FedEx and given my history I’m not comfortable attempting to mail a banned substance across state lines. SO it will go into the mail this weekend sans booze - sorry about that, I’ll try to think of a suitable replacement. The good news is that I got my glass from LabTrash along with some small beverage samples, a fridge magnet and a bag of hushpuppy mix - Thanks!! ---

Postal tracking says my gift was successfully delivered on July 1st but my giftee has not checked in to confirm. ☹ ---

**ChickaPicosa** , I don’t know who your glass went to, but I think it is rude not to thank a giver. At least they could do it by PM. ---

To the person in the north west waiting patiently on a glass, it is packed and will hopefully go out today. sorry for the delay, but my work schedule has been NUTS! To the Doper who sent me the shot glass, Thank you! its wonderful, as are the cards!. Unfortunately there was some damage. The bottle of Glenforres broke and got over everything. I have your real name from the shipping label, but was unable to read the note you included. So thank you very much to who ever you are. ---

This happens every time, folks not thanking their givers, or not mailing anything, with no word of why. I don’t know why, when fepptytweed asks us to **please** not play if we aren’t going to participate. I’d love to send out another package though. So many shotglasses, so little time.
