That’s a really great idea, thinksnow. Hats off to you for offering to put even more effort into this! I had fun putting my first package together, so even though I never got someone else’s stuff, this whole thing has been great.
I’m starting to get stuff around. I can’t wait to find out whose name I get!
Well, no… not my package.
What I did get, however, was a very nice apologetic e-mail from the person who sent it. As many people theorized, it was delayed due to circumstances beyond their control, then sent… and lost by the post office, as far as we can tell. They vowed to send a replacement, but I almost wish they wouldn’t - after my pissy rant in here I don’t feel like I deserve it.
Why exactly DID this matter so much to me? Only on the point of manners… which has been more than satisfied as far as I’m concerned.
So, um…
hangs head, scrapes toe back and forth on the ground
[sub]can I get my name back on the list please?[/sub]
I guess my request to be included got lost in my reply to Chef Troy. What I meant to say was"
Please O please let moi and I play again, we had a blast last time.
Cheers
I’ve got more damn stuff…
I just want it known that my WE package will include a SELECTION of goodies…
stoid
Gee, I gotta drop in on MPSIMS more often! I just have lots of tra… er, ju… ah, gar… that is, stuff I could ship out. Someday it will all be valuable as collector’s items, I just know it.
Count me in as a latecomer!
I just last night found the most crap-tacular thing is the worst junk shop I’ve ever seen. Cost me a buck twenty-five, but nothing’s too good for you, my as-yet unknown recipient. And no, I don’t intend to buy stuff, but this . . . this . . . well, it’s so awful I had to have it. Because you have to have it. Whoever you are.
New to the exchange-craptacular:

Chef, of course you are back in, I kinda suspected (and hoped) you would be, but I was waiting…well, you understand.
t_d_cat and moi, you’re in. Jodi, I’ve not received any info from you.
Uh, Jodi, nevermind, my monkey-paw figured out how to scroll up and found you info. :rolleyes:
THINKSNOW, I sent you an e with my addy. I’ll resend it.
I’m still waiting to see who gets some of my wonderful crap…er…stuff…
I’ve got to ask, which shop?
…for my family reunion this weekend. What’s a “touchy-feely” bag? It’s a dark cloth bag with about fifty odds and ends from around the house thrown into it. The game is to “touch” and “feel” the bag (sorry for those who got their hopes up ) until you can list all the items in the bag. The one with the most listed wins.
I’m just wondering what to DO with all the thingy’s in the bag after this weekend…hmmmm?
<coughs> don’t forget about me. I want in on this again, too.
Umm, if you have room for a new guy, count me in.
New to the list:[li]fireman[/li]And…Star, consider yourself a soon-to-be victim
Remember kids, the doors close at noon this Friday (the 31[sup]st[/sup] of August) so if anyone is lingering around, waiting to see who else will join, ya’ better get movin’.
Jodi, I’m glad I’m not the only one shopping. Not that I don’t have stuff to send - oooooo, have I got stuff to send. But if I can find something more horrible, I’m going to snap it up and mail it off.
This may be the only group of people who have ever elicited this particular neurosis from me; the fear that my belongings just aren’t crappy enough.
I feel I should point out, in case people are wondering, that you really shouldn’t go out and buy stuff for this, the idea being for you to trade out things that you already have but no longer have any use for. 'Course, you can do whatever you want, but I know I have more than enough junk sitting around already.
[Ed McMahon]You are correct, sir.[/Ed McMahon]
I promise, nothing I’ve looked at has a price tag of more than a dollar. And I’m not deliberately shopping, I swear. I just notice I’ve been slowing down when I drive past yard sales, then speeding up if the people have any taste or artistic sensibility.
I hope somebody sends me a big box of preview. [sub]Sorry.[/sub]
