No problems **gfloyd**. I just wanted to make sure that you knew how much I appreciated it. And everyone else whoā€™s seen me wear thinks itā€™s too cool. Now I figure Iā€™d better end my secret of who my recipient is to find out for certain if thereā€™s a problemā€¦ **Elysian** where are you? ::: pleads ::: Please donā€™t tell me that your shirt got lost in The Dead Letter Zone or something. Otherwise, Iā€™m afraid my choice has sent you running from the thread. Let me know before I have to start hounding the local post office with suspicious looking gift boxes. ---

I got mine today! Itā€™s a nice soft grey shirt that says ā€œIllinoisā€ and it was from **AwSnappity** , who has beautiful handwriting. She also gave me 2 packs of Starburst (sour and fruit creme, neither of which Iā€™ve tried before) and a HUGE package of Dots. Pretty cool, and pretty tasty. ---

I love my new shirt!! A navy (most highly favored) tee with a picture of bluejean-clad legs and leather boots on either side of a big olā€™ motorcycle. ā€œMineā€™s so big, I canā€™t put my knees together.ā€ **FairyChatMom** thanks but I just gotta ask, however did you _know_? šŸ˜ƒ ---

Didnā€™t have to ā€“ apparently I was correct, he ( **owlstretchingtime** ) didnā€™t renew, but has read this thread. Got the following email from him this morning: > [@](#): > > I see from the boards that my swapper is getting a bit anxious - she > has no need to. I have received her, very nice, package and have sent her a > thank-you note by post (the kind with stamps on). I have also sent her > a package - which should get to the colonies soon. I hope she likes it. > > My membership of the SDMB has lapsed (and Iā€™m not renewing anytime > soon), so I canā€™t comment on the boards, but i would be grateful if you could > pass this on. > > Thanks If thereā€™s anyone else who didnā€™t renew and so canā€™t post an acknowlegement, pls., pls., pls., email me (twickster47 at yahoo dot com) and let me know, Iā€™ll be happy to report back to your person. My count currently is that of the 57 people doing swaps (counting **Portia** as two people, since sheā€™s doing two swaps), 31 people have gotten their T-shirts. Since we just had a flurry of people reporting that theyā€™ve mailed, letā€™s go to the end of the week before I start figuring out who the deadbeats are and go after them. (And you ainā€™t seen nothing till youā€™ve seen the wrath of twickster!) Donā€™t worry, folks ā€“ weā€™ll find someone to adopt anyone left orphaned by an inconsiderate swapper ā€“ no one will go T-shirtless at the end of this. ---

Wooooooo! Iā€™m glad it got there! YAY for the international postal system! I knew I shoulda sent a NASCAR shirtā€¦I mean, since he wasnā€™t coming back and allā€¦ šŸ™‚ ā€¦too badā€¦ **Owl** was a good doper. ---

Thank you, to my mysterydoper, the only good thing about Kansas (I went there last year, and there were vultures waiting for someone in my drum corps to die. And the water at the school where we were staying was icky). I \<3 my Hercules shirt. Sorry it took so long for me to post, I had to go get it from my parentsā€™ house. Thank you again!!! ---

Glad you liked it, **exastris** ā€“ man, that was the best discovery I ever made in Japan, the Uniqlo store that had _the_ best collection of Engrish shirts on the face of the planet. Good quality, too; I still wear several others regularly, and itā€™s been a few years! My mailbox is still empty, so Iā€™ll post as soon as (or if) I get something. _Sniffleā€¦nobody wuvs meā€¦sniffleā€¦_ ---

I mentioned the exchange to my husband and he pulled that shirt right out of his drawer. I had to search for some of your posts to make sure it wouldnā€™t offend you - I didnā€™t know your sensibilities. My sweetie will be glad to know that itā€™s gone to someone who appreciates it. He wore it a few times, then I think he decided it embarrassed him. So, enjoy! ---

> [@Snakescatlady](#): > > **Anaamika!** > > Got back from my Fla. vacation and my shirt was waiting on me! Thanks so much!! Not a problem! And I have to make a confession. I got my shirt from \*\*feppytweed \*\* a week ago. But apparently, the note fell down behind the couchā€¦so I didnā€™t find it until today, and thus had no idea who it was from! :o So Iā€™m really sorry, feppy, and thanks for the great shirt!
