Doper coffee mug exchange

Mine’s not here yet (sniffle), but I see it’s been sent, so I’ll be dancing to the mailbox all week!

Quoth the mug company:

So my muggee should be recieving theirs very soon. Phew. :slight_smile:

buttonjockey308: Your mug was shipped 11/29.

Deva: I’m guessing that your mug has not been sent. I’ve emailed your mugger.
Krys92gp: Your muggee is Deva’s mugger, who has been incommunicado. He probably did receive your mug.

Dung Beetle: Your mug was sent by Izzybella on 11/16. It does seem like you should’ve gotten it by now.

silenus: Your mugger says she is shipping your mug today.

Thirdwarning: Your mug was sent 11/24.

Oh no! I hope it didn’t get forwarded to my ex or anything. Though when I look at the calendar, that’s only about 10 working days for the Post Office, so there’s still a bit of hope. Right?

Dung Beetle, give it a few more days. If you haven’t gotten your mug, I’ll mug you again. It was sent priority mail, so you really should have gotten it. (insert concerned face here) I hope you get it soon! If you don’t however, I will mug you again.

Thanks, Izzy! By the way, I’m thrilled I got someone I “know”…aren’t you **N. Sane’s ** sister? And I believe one of you did some horribly embarrassing thing in childhood, which the other will not tell us about.

I am N.Sane’s sister and not to hijack the thread, [hijack] but yes, there is one truly embarrassing event in my childhood amongst all the other garden variety childhood embarrassments. In order for me to tell there would have to be copious amounts of liquor involved. Since I don’t drink much these days, I’m afraid I won’t be telling. :slight_smile: [/end hijack]

By the by, I was glad to find out I got to mug you because your haiku just rocks!

Gee, thanks!
If the mug doesn’t come, maybe you can tell me the story then? :wink:

My mugee should be getting the goods by next week, as the package will be leaving with the afternoon pickup today.
:slight_smile:

You’re welcome. If I have to mug you again I might tell you. In absolute confidence. But then again, maybe it would be anti-climactic. I’m not sure I could live up to the expectation!

Woo hoo!

It’s all packed up and ready to go out this evening after work (our local branch is open until 7:00 PM!). I’ll be sending it Priority so it arrives before Christmas, I swear!!

Lsura, I did indeed receive my adorable penguin mug! Thank you kindly - even my husband thinks it’s cute. :slight_smile:

Krys92gp: Survivor received your mug.

Deva: Your mug should be in the mail tomorrow (12/01).

Oh, goody. I was worried I had been forgotten.

I got mugged! And how! It was like Christmas. Thank you** Izzybella**!
I do like my Shakespeare Festival mug. The kids and I shared out the chocolate first thing, then oohed and ahhed over all the other goodies. (I’m going to have to do another one of these exchanges so I can pay it forward. I don’t think I sent enough in mine.)
I thought the postcards were a good idea, and we were very interested to see your picture. I know y’all had a blast doing Our Town. I love to do theater, or at least I did, back in the old days!
I’m looking forward to sipping a variety of hot drinks in the evenings for the next couple of weeks. About the tea: My son is coming down with a cold, and I had just run out of decaf tea bags, so the timing was wonderful. The boy had a nice hot cup of peppermint tea with honey last night. I had chamomile, and the girl-child absconded with the gum.
It was really fun to get. And I hereby promise to quit hounding you about the incident. :smiley:

YAY!!! I’m so relieved. I had fears of your ex getting your mug and stealing your chocolate. And then I would have been seriously annoyed at your ex. You’re certainly welcome. It was a lot fun getting it all together. I hope your son feels better soon and I hope you enjoy the mug!

Dungbeetle, Izzybella is glad that you got your mug for all the reasons she listed. She’s also really glad that she’s free of any possibilities of having to reveal The Incident.

We were discussing it yesterday, and I was laughing so hard I nearly crashed my car. She wasn’t laughing. For some odd reason, she doesn’t find it really funny.

Anyway, I’m super glad you got your mug box. We had already decided what we were going to send in the now unnecessary replacement box.

Well, I used the cat’s litter box when I was younger. My mother was on the verge of taking our tiny kitten to the vet before I confessed. Can it really be any worse than that?
Please don’t discuss *the incident * while driving. Think how guilty I’d feel for resurrecting it!

The word “mug” has become a nonsense word to me. I look at it and think, “That can’t possibly be a real word.”
