[QUOTE=Joey P]  
Got 'em. Thanks. Never seen shot ummm ceramics.  
So where you from, the glasses say Sacramento and Reno, but the return address says Clear Water?

[QUOTE=Joey P]  
Er Lake Tahoe, sorry.

Thanks again. BTW they where quite well wrapped.  
[/QUOTE]

Glad they arrived safely! I really packed them in, huh?  
I live in Florida, but I’ve done some travelling. I figured those would be better than some town you’ve never heard of!

**Translucent Daydream** , the UPS tracking says someone other than you signed for the shot glass - did you get it?

**LunaV** , on the contrary, I’ve often thought that it’d be really cool to have a Doper Hometown Shot Glass Exchange–so that Dopers around the world have shot glasses that come from wherever other Dopers post from.

But that’s just me, and for now just my pipe dream.

If I get you next time, I’ll try to find one from one of my hometowns. I’m not sure about Cudahy or Whitefish Bay, but I’m quite sure I could find one from Racine…and well Milwaukee (or Harley Davidson) it’s hard not to find those.

I sent mine out to Razz but he/she seems to a double secret ultimate lurker. He/she has one post and his/her last activity was in October of 2001, yet he/she still lurks enough to sign up for the trade, though email. When I have time at work tomarrow (if I remember) I’ll check the tracking info and make sure it got there.

Well, her email address is that of a university, IIRC. That might explain her sporadic posts and whatnot.

“Sporadic” :dubious: One post in 7 years doesn’t count as sporadic, it’s double secret ultimate lurker.

oops! I thought I had posted here. Actually, I was sure I had posted here.

Mine arrived, looking good, much appreciated but still to be baptized in spirits. I promise to take care of that the 4th of July.

My send went through a series of peterselleresque moments that delayed its departure, but is now on its way to Alaska in the good company of a little extra that I understand my recipient will appreciate.

Transit time from Puerto Rico to Alaska… we will see.

Did you cave in and get your picture on a keychain/magnet like so many others do?  
If you ask nicely, they’ll put your photo on the wall for free. Let you pick the spot too.

No, didn’t do that.  
Maybe I can pay for it with some of the money stapled to the wall.

This’ll be my last post to the thread. I emailed everyone that hasn’t posted or let me know about their sending/receipt.

Hope everyone was pleased with their exchange.

See you all again next spring!

Yay, so glad to hear it! The lady at the shipping place kinda crammed it into that teeny box, so I was worried it wouldn’t make it in one piece…

I did, and it is neat as hell. I am sorry I didn’t get a thank you out to you. Been wrapped up in some big family emergency of caldera proportions.  
Thanks,
