**rocking chair** , I’m sorry you missed it too. We’d have loved for you to participate. As it stands now, everyone seems to be covered, but if that changes, I’ll let you know. Anyone else have their packages mailed yet? It’s almost the witching hour! 🙂 ---

So I have been shopping and got some lovely stuff to go with the mountains of glitter - unfortunately due to my financial ineptitude I am unable to send anything until Wednesday - sorry folks. ---

Hopefully mine will get there mostly on time – all three of my kids and my husband have had swine flu – no kidding – and I have been busy dosing them. Also, I wanted to make sure I didn’t send a dose of germs along with the goodies!🙂 ---

Oh, Og! , **Oh, Og!** , **OH, OG!** And just for good measure: **OH, OGGGGG!** I sent mine off this morning in one of those “If it fits, it ships”, Priority Mails? My postal (!) person told me it should get there Saturday, dear _Giftee_, but if for some reason it does _not_, please accept my sincere apology!:(:(☹ This whole week has been all-day trips to docs, various governmental agencies to fill out forms, and trying to get in a visit with my grandson, **Julian** who lives in Griffin, Georgia (quite a drive) to deliver his “Luke Skywalker” Halloween costume. It is right now 9:10 pm Eastern time and D and I just got in, so I headed straight here to post this. Special thanks to my dear **Kemi** for my package along with the sweetest Halloween card (the _only_ one, I think) I have _ever_ received! I kinda **suspected I’d be getting a package from _you_ “sly one”!** 😉 Thanks for letting me be a part of this!:):)🙂 Quasi ---

My offerings are winging their probably very slow way to the recipients - just think how great it’ll be to extend the fun until hmmmm… mid november maybe? ---

THANK YOU for my Halloween package which came today!!! I chuckled at the PEZ Halloween dispenser, because I have ALWAYS loved PEZ.:)🙂 I had to turn over the pencils and super-ball to my grandson Julian, though, so I hope it’s okay to do that? This has been an amazing month for me/us, and it just re-affirms my belief that **Dopers** are “family”, and family is warmth ad kindness and love. The fact that we’re a “world-wide family” just makes it that much more special. Thanks, **faithfool** for putting this together for us, for your gifts and good wishes, and once again, **Pandora** , thanks for thinking of me!🙂 Quasi/Bill ---

Oh yeah, mine is on the way too. **Faithfool** , can you email the person you set me up with? They said it was going to be delivered by Saturday at the latest, but it came up as a business… and they said there weren’t any guarantees if it was a buisness address… My exchange is works all the way through the holidays so if its a day late, then it should still be useful. 🙂 ---

I’m late. ☹ I just took it to the post office. I’m so sorry! (My excuse is that it’s homemade and I had a hard time getting the head on right.) ---

Pandora – what a goodie package!! I had to fight my kids for all the adorable erasers, puzzles, bittie pencils…but NOBODY touches my black kitty PEZ. Or my placemat. Very cute stuff. My family was amazed that I received this Halloweeny goodness, but I smugly replied, “It’s the Dope. We’re tight like spandex.”🆒 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/halloween-exchange/512231.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/halloween-exchange/512231.md?page=3)
