**MissTake/LilMiss**  
I messed up the address and got yours back, but I am sending it out again tomarrow, with the address checked over. I swear it is correct this time!

**LifeOnWry** I got your t-shirt yesterday. It’s SO pretty! I love it!

**Vunderbob** that shirt ROCKS! Yours will be on the way tomorrow, thursday at the latest (I just got back from vacation, and am digging out of a HUGE pile of work that um, piled up during my absence).

Again, the shirt ROCKS, and sorry for the delay, yours is on the way, I promise.

So, a funny thing happened on the way home from the post office, I move something to find my chapstick and what do I see? My very lovely postcard with a stunning picture of the fireworks over the river at the Detroit skyline, with a few incredibly wry and witty lines breezily dashed on the back identifying myself.

That woulda went great _in_ the t-shirt package, huh?

So, umm, **AkWally1** when you find a shiny blue envelope in the mail, that’s from me. :o

Has someone in Massachusetts got their shirt yet? It should have been there by now.

Yay again!

**MirrorImage egamIrorriM** sent me a Rosie the Riverter shirt, only Rosie’s wearing a school-specific kerchief. Plus I got BONUS ITEMS (very very cool linoelum prints!)

Thanks!

**NothingMan** sent me a T – and some other souvenirs – from the radio station where he works. Cool! Thanks!

Are we gonna get someone to volunteer to set up a page where we can post pix of ourselves in our new shirts?

Yeah, that’s why I bought 2… 😉

Don’t rush. I’m leaving for Indiana at the crack of OhMyGawd, and will be gone until Tuesday night.

Forgot to mention the chocolate. Yum-ola! I was a little concerned when I unwrapped the first one… looked for all the world like a beef boullion cube!

Hey, **Mailman**! Thanks for the shirt! It’s just my style! PLUS… the added bonus of a pakage of Alterra coffee beans. Thank you very much! I am a coffee fiend who does not like to pay Starbucks for my brew, but prefers to grind it myself! Perfect gift! I looked up the Alterra Coffeee House on the net and it looks like my kind of place. Thanks!

I’m glad it reached you OK **Twicky**. That was one large bulky package when I dropped it off. Much like Shirley I have not recieved any happy fun mail yet either. Anyone want to fess up to having drawn my name?

I did get mine last week or so. Sorry I’ve been out sick for a bit. Mine also got sent out last week, hopefully it has come.

I swear I have not forgotten. We’re doing the great clothes switch this weekend where I pull out the bin of Tshirts I carefully packed away last fall!

I will make up for tardiness I swear.

Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa!

I swear I will mail mine today! I apologize for the tardiness–this was the last week of classes before finals begin, and I’ve been running around like a chicken with my head cut off. I also had my t-shirt sent to my home address instead of my school address, so I won’t be able to open it and see it before May 11th.

Apologies all around. I’m not very good at this.

FTR, I’m keeping track of people as they report receiving their tees, but thought I’d wait at least another week before even starting to worry about people who haven’t yet.

What I am worrying about is the possibility that there are people involved in the exchange who didn’t re-up in the recent subscription frenzy, and who thus can’t post if they did receive a tee – if that’s your situation, and you’re still reading, could you pls. email me and let me know you got yours? Thanks.

T-shirt received. So not only do you and I get a new shirt but the school benefits too! Not a bad deal. Thanks for the T **eleanorigby**. Oh, and congratulations on your weight loss!

Got mine today–thanks, **Alan Smithee**! 🙂 Love the TKD Master shirt, and I’m sure my spousal unit will enjoy the extra bonus size-L shirt as well.

This was fun!

Okay, I just got back from the post office. I threw in a little something extra for my secret recipient (who’s been very patient). “Should arrive on Saturday,” said the post office lady. Whoo!
