[QUOTE=anyrose] **VBob** and **Zipper** - anything yet? btw **VBob** - Thank you so much (I finally opened the package :D) - It’s neato and it fits! It’ll be great for changing into for PT sessions. [/QUOTE] It came yesterday, and I guessed half of the pictures right away. Haven’t broken it in yet. Thanks! ---

Argh - I did receive your shirt, **Hypno-Toad**. Thanks! What team is that? I thought I had sent out mine, which I see now is to **pprgrl** and not **Hypno-Toad** , but I entrusted it to my boyfriend and he, uh, forgot. So I’m sending it out tomorrow and putting an extra shirt in the box in apology. (Actually, _he’s_ putting an extra shirt in. He’s very sorry. He didn’t mail out the stuff he was going to the post office for, either. I made him search his car for it and he found all kinds of things he was supposed to do.) ---

It’s **Appalachian State University**. Be sure to wear it around any Michigan fans you might know. And now I’m wondering who was supposed to send me mine. ---

**Hypno-Toad** and **wallflower** - sent follow up emails to the people who are supposed to be sending you guys shirts. I never did figure out - is this a secret thing or is it OK to let everyone know who they are? ---

**silenus** - also just sent a follow-up email to your sender. :😢: I had wanted for this to go well! I just don’t have the authority figure power I thought I had. ---

No, running one of these things is like herding cats. You did a fine job. Having sent the follow-up emails, there’s not a lot you can do. If the orphans remain orphaned, you can ask for volunteers to take care of them – someone will step up to the plate. (Maybe we should start a master list of people who have stiffed recipients in the various exchanges we have – Secret Santa always has five or six, I think.) ---

Ah, OK. I’ll give it a few days to see if I get any response from these guys and then will post the sizes that we need and see if there’re any volunteers. So everyone speak up if you still don’t have a shirt! So far, I know: **silenus Hypno-Toad wallflower** ---

Followup to followup - **wallflower** , your person did send me an email saying that he had forgotten and would get it in the mail. No response from the others - anyone still shirtless? ---

Please put me in the double extra SDMB penalty box. I am so completely sorry about that, I’ve been so horribly busy (sold two houses, moved, had a major project at work etc. etc. etc.) that your package has laid in the car for far too long covered by work I have yet to do. I shall make it right in forthwith! Oh, and I don’t believe I’ve gotten a shirt either, now that we’re mentioning the mentions.
