Okay y’all, it’s been a couple of days. Could everyone post that has _not_ received their package yet? That way I can start looking into where everything is at. ---

Mine came today, and we loved it! Wife will use the towel, potholder and scouring pad, and our grandson gets the toys! Loved the card as well! Guess one thing to avoid dressing up as is a fire hydrant, huh?😉 Thanks to all of you for your generosity! Quasi ---

Okay, this is slightly embarrassing. Gave the exchange gift to fiance to drop off at post office last week while I’m at work. Guess what I find this morning still in the back of his car? Said gift :smack: So! Adding in a few more apologetic goodies and sending off myself tonight. Sorry exchangee! ETA: Also, thank you Translucent Daydream, the candle is divine! ---

Hand-made coasters and book-marks came today. Both will come in handy since I always set my drinks next to the computer and they make rings which makes “Fraule” mad! Bookmarks are needed as I usually read three books (not at the same time, of course!:)) I am going to assume you’re German or of German heritage, because I found you this: [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zATDJTgYsBI) Vielen Dank! And thanks to **all** of you decided to ship to more than one person!🙂 “Hasi-baby” (Get it? “Hasi-Quasi”)😃 ---

Thanks, **Madrabbitwoman**!!!:):)🙂 The bookmark (snatched away by my wife), the hand-made card, the kitty picture (you remembered!) and the glitter (which went all over my face:)) are VERY much appreciated! Y’all are so good to me. Thanks EVERYONE and especially my sweet friend **faithfool**! Quasi/Bill (and “Bert” the cat) ---

> [@schnuckiputzi](#): > > Quasimodem – that Youtube clip is now my Official Favorite New Song – it’s hilarious! I am glad you liked it, **Schnucki**!🙂 Even though I am from that part of Germany (Bavaria). I could NOT understan a word they were singing until the very last part: “Und wenn sie nich gestorben sind, dann leben sie noch heut’” “And if they haven’t died, then they still live today!”. I KNOW I have a tendency to “gush”, but this past Halloween has been the best one I have EVER had.🙂 Thanks and PS:\*\* Schnucki\*\*, just in case you ARE Deutsch, I have a cute little “dirty song” posted over on Cafe Society!

Madrabbitwoman – that’s a great mad rabbit sticker! And a lovely glitzy spider pin, as well as a cute bookmark and skull confetti galore! I was bragging to all my family that no one else had ever gotten a package from Australia! ---

Just want everyone to know I’m still monitoring the thread, so if y’all need me, just holler. And thanks for those who’ve asked after my mother-in-law. As of Friday, she’s officially out of ICU and doing better. 🙂 ---

I got mine! Actually I got it on Saturday but the boyfriend was expecting an Amazon package and I just saw the box and not the label and left it for him, but we realized last night. We love the spooky goblets! (We’ve decided to repurpose the hanging bats for Christmas with the addition of little Santa hats.) ---

Kolga – wow, what a great box of goodies! And I’m taking the “joyful” pumpkin and the towel with me to my mom’s along with the turkey I’m cooking. Perfect! And it was great to come home after a Very Long Monday to a surprise.😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/halloween-exchange/512231.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/halloween-exchange/512231.md?page=5)
